Pho 88 draws praise for flavorful pho and home style comfort food with rich broth and generous portions at a reasonable price. The broth is frequently described as beefy and satisfying, with crowd favorites including rare beef and grilled meats, and the menu covers pho, vermicelli dishes, and fresh spring rolls. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and fast, creating a cozy and welcoming vibe. The atmosphere is noted as simple and low key, with easy access and a convenient location near transit, making it a reliable go to for pho on the Island of Montreal. Several reviews call it one of the best pho spots in town, though a few mention occasional inconsistencies such as side dishes or freshness of certain items, and some suggest a decor update. Overall, Pho 88 is seen as a dependable, affordable option that delivers big bowls, real flavor, and a satisfying dining experience for both regulars and first time visitors.
The service was good. I had a pho & spring rolls but my complaint is mainly about spring rolls that are just full of rice & the rice seems not fresh a bit hard. I thought it's supposed to be made with noodles.
The pho was good but they only give bean sprouts & no basil leaves or pepper with it.
Not so bad food but very far from the best or the most fresh
Never seen such bad Pho in Montreal till I came here. I ordered pho with raw beef & tendon. Did not see any tendons, & the beef was already cooked, thick & tough, & had no flavour. The soup tasted like it had sweetner in it. The imperial rolls were the thinnest I have seen, & saw carrots & some beige stuffing only instead of the regular ingredients. It reminded me of the frozen ones you get at Asian grocery stores. The waitresses were no where to be seen. The payment terminal calculates tip after taxes. I will not come back. It's too bad as I was hoping to find a good Vietnamese restaurant in this area as there are none.
Terrible terrible take out pho , one of the worst i ever had. 4 slices of tiny meat , old noodles , really salty broth , no onion or greens. I would never go to this place ever again !!!!! 0/5 stars worst pho in montreal !!!!!

I went there last night hungry. We ordered the apecial soup Pho88 #10. It was good. It's rare of me to finished my soup. But i did go home with a clean plate & very satisfied. The staff were nice. I left my jacket & i got it back.
Thank you.
Came as a group. I had the curry with shrimp. It was amazing. Great flavor & texture all around. The atmosphere is not the cleanest & not all of the food served was fresh. I would say stick with the main dishes, Pho & soups in general, as well as the curries.
BEST VIETNAMESE SOUP IN TOWN! I used to go to Pho Lien, but someone suggested I try Pho 88, & I must say, it's a pleasant surprise!! The service is quick & friendly, the food consistently fresh & flavorful, & the portions are generous!!
What sets Pho 88 apart is their diverse menu. In addition to a variety of pho dishes, they offer Pad Thai, Curry, Tonkinese, Tom Yum, & more. & the best part? It's so CHEAP. Give it a shot; you might just find a new favorite spot!

They have Durian, it says it all : They are authentic, food is awesome, service is great, at any time. We are foodies, we are well travelled-been around the world, especially all over Asia, & we can't wait to go back at Pho88 all the times. We confirm : They are great, along with the price!
Nothing special about this resto. Good authentic Vietnamese Noodles. OK if you are in for a quick meal. There were small portions but you will not leave hungry. Pho 88 is decent enough, but with so much choice in the area, there has to be something better.
Great for takeout. Waited less than 5 minutes for great service takeout. Will definitely go back. The pho was great as well. Not out of this world but very very good. Honest pricing, 3 pho, for $25 including tip.
