You know, this is probably my first time leaving a review on a restaurant ever. I've been going here for maybe 4-5 years. I love pho, Montreal has a very active viet community, I make my own pho quite often. & yet, I'm the definition of a regular at this restaurant. You come here for the pho. Once you've found your order, you never switch. Ever. The price is decent, but the portions are generous, the beef broth is one of my favs broths in the city, & the fatty beef cuts especially are without a doubt the best I've had. It's probably a little unhinged of me to say this, but though I don't eat out much, I've gone to this restaurant over 100 times, without exaggeration. If my review seems overly positive, it's because this review feels long overdue. Love this restaurant; probably my favourite restaurant in Montreal. P.S. the service is INCREDIBLY fast. Like shockingly so.View more

The best pho in Montreal. & the most affordable. Absolutely delicious. The broth is piping hot & perfectly rich & the noodles are cooked to just the right amount of firm vs. soft. Lovely staff too. I'll be coming here as long as it stays open.View more

Best Pho we've ever had, super tasty herbs in the broth, spring rolls with peanut sauce were amazing. Kids agree. Great service, warm staff, highly recommend!View more

I've been a loyal customer of Nguyen Phi for over a decade, frequenting this establishment due to my work in the area. Initially, it was my go-to place for delicious Pho, with a rich & flavorful broth that kept me coming back. Unfortunately, over the years, the quality has significantly declined.The once delightful broth has now become watery & lacks the robust flavor it used to have. This decline in taste is quite disappointing for someone who has cherished this place for so long. Additionally, the ambiance leaves much to be desired. The owner often sits in the middle of the restaurant, playing on his phone at high volume, which, combined with the background music, creates an annoying & distracting atmosphere.I would strongly suggest the owner take a visit to Restaurant Phnom Penh to remind himself of how the broth at Nguyen Phi used to taste. Unfortunately, my preferred alternative is currently closed for a week, which makes this situation even more disheartening.Overall, Nguyen Phi has lost its charm & quality, & it saddens me to see such a decline in a place I once loved.View more

Tried this place for Tonkinoise soup, went here many times & have to say that the broth is always tasty. This is definitely one of my favourites for the Pho soup, surely in my top 5 list.
