We've been going to Pho 88 often, & our most recent visit was tonight. As always, the pho was consistently delicious with a rich broth & generous portions. Service was fast & friendly, prices are reasonable, & the restaurant is clean. A reliable go-to spot that never disappoints.
Honestly one of the best spots for food in the area. The food is amazing, the Pho bowls are massive & the food is always delicious. The service is also always very nice. 10/10 would recommend
The spring rolls were not made fresh there they were frozen & reheated the mango smoothie tasted awful hardly tasted any mango but had something else in it Pho was average quite boring
I had an amazing dining experience at Pho 88, a Vietnamese gem! I ordered the Regular Special Spicy Beef with Vermicelli, & wow - it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich & comforting, with just the right level of spice. 😋🔥 The serving was generous - it looked more like a large than a regular! Totally worth it. Can't wait to go back & try more from their menu. Highly recommend! 🇻🇳🍜
This is definitely one of the best if not the best go to Pho place in Montreal. Your soup will be ready within 10-15 mins. Restaurant is clean & there's always a calm atmosphere. Toilets are clean. Staff is welcoming & they all have a good attitude.
I highly recommend. I always go there for a chicken & veggies Pho extra chicken.
Tried this place to see how their pho is. Ordered the classic beef pho with tripe & meat balls.
Not impressed: the soup was decent but the amount of tripe & meat balls was quite few compared to other pho places.
Also the side dishes served was not good at all, they first served only bean sprouts (half fresh & half unfresh) with lime. They brought unfresh Thai basil leaves when asked … I wouldn't return for a second time.
