Nguyen Phi Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
Vietnamese

About

Nguyen Phi serves a focused menu of traditional Vietnamese fare, emphasizing the preparation of steaming bowls of pho infused with aromatic star anise, cinnamon, and ginger. Each serving incorporates fresh rice noodles, thinly sliced meats, and crisp bean sprouts to create a balanced flavor profile characteristic of authentic street-side cuisine. Patrons encounter a variety of grilled pork dishes served over vermicelli and complemented by zesty fish sauce dressings that provide a sharp, savory finish. The establishment maintains a streamlined approach to service, ensuring that plates arrive consistently prepared to satisfy specific cravings for bold, herbaceous profiles. Vietnamese coffee remains a staple beverage choice, offering a dark, sweetened intensity that pairs effectively with the diverse selection of savory broth-based and dry noodle preparations found throughout the menu.

Review Summary

Nguyen Phi is repeatedly described as the go-to pho spot in Montreal with a rich, aromatic broth and generous toppings that make the bowls feel like a full meal. The rest of the menu is praised as solid, and portions are large with good value. Service is quick and friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the decor and music give the place real personality. While the broth can be sweeter for some tastes, many reviewers crown it the best pho in the metropolitan area, prompting frequent returns from locals and visitors. Fresh rolls, well prepared dishes, and reliable consistency are highlighted as reasons to choose Nguyen Phi when in the area.

2024:
Still the best bang for your buck. The thai rolls were excellent. Fresh & crispy veggies with an amazing Thai dipping sauce.
The sou, I ordered the small which I could barely finish, was delicious, as usual. If you are looking for a quick bite...this is the place to enjoy some grest food.

Very impressed. The service was quick & the food was served hot. We ordered one special spicy soup & one shrimp with vegetables. Neither were spicy. We were able to add extra spice if we wanted. Prices of the soups are very reasonable & they were big enough to be considered a full meal.

Nguyen Phi is my favourite pho spot. The staff are warm, funny, & make you feel welcome right away. The pho is excellent, the broth is deep, clear, & super aromatic; generous toppings & everything tasting fresh & well prepared. The vibe is great too, the decor is awesome & the music is weird & cool, it actually feels like a real place with personality. The kind of place you leave feeling satisfied & already looking forward to coming back

The fresh rolls were delicious; with shrimp & lettuce! I also enjoyed the pho. The waiters were friendly & the ambience was calm. There was even a fish tank, which was relaxing!

There was a small queue before we sat down, that already gave a good omen. & we were not wrong. Excellent seafood dish in a nest with crispy noodles like I had rarely tried before. Once the noodles were well soaked with the sauce that covered everything, the taste buds felt the mixture of flavours covering the squid, scallops, the shrimps & the thin layer of imitation crab, making a delicious whole. Mixing the already moist noodle with the one that was still crispy. The shrimp spring rolls were big, fresh & well garnished. The only drawback was the accompanying sauce, which they did not put the nuts on. Otherwise, excellent. Next time it will be the Pho.

As a Viet living in Quebec, I was glad trying this Excellent authentic Viet restaurant for the first time. The food is delicious & served fresh & hot. Their Sea food Chow Mein was the best chow mein I have eaten in my life! Their Cha Ça La Vong was very good too, & as I am originally from Hanoi where this rare Viet dish has been invented, I was happy to try it as it is rarely offered on a menu. Also their Spring rolls are very delicious & BIG & fresh! Don't forget their desserts! I tried their Durian smoothie & it was yummy! For sure I will be back.

Call me biased but we've been coming to this establishment for well over a decade. My husband, then bf, introduced me to pho & it's been love at first taste ever since. The food is delicious. Always fresh. Flavour is consistent. It's like coming home 😂. Here's to another decade 🍜
