Easy choice when you want a good price pho, one of my favorite so far in MTL ! Their rolls are pretty good as well! Food quality is pretty decent even in delivery :)

The atmosphere is great & the decor, beautiful. The food is decent; I would recommend the curry rice but definitely not the fresh spring rolls.

I love authentic Vietnamese food, & this seemed promising from the appearance & high ratings, but it was disappointing. Worst fried rolls we've ever had. Dishes were lacking interest, & ingredient quality was sub par. Maybe use some fresh mint? Napkins were laughable, like toilet paper. Is that how you're trying to save money? I'll never forget that detail. Mayonnaise in the salad dressing is also not authentic (in my experience) & it's not a good choice. No option for leaving out fish sauce from the noodle salad dressing (partner is vegetarian) & soy sauce given as the alternative. This is a joke. Are you not making any sauces in-house? In short, the many issues here are all management decisions that could be fixed.

Le Bay is my favorite Vietnamese in the city, & a great neighborhood spot. The pho is great, the Bahn mi's amazing, spring rolls, rice dishes along with everything else I've tried is consistently good. On top of that the staff is always super friendly & a cool decor/atmosphere takes this place over the top.

Le Pho est servi avec de la viande à fondue surgelée, tout comme le bò bún, pour le prix c est vraiment cheap. Tout autant que des egg rolls surgelés surtout quand on sait qu au Vietnam ce sont des nems que l on déguste, enroulés dans une feuille de riz... Ca fait dur pour un plat qui reviens à 23$ au final
