Pho 88 draws praise for authentic Vietnamese pho with a rich, comforting broth, generous portions, and fresh, well prepared toppings. The service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed with an easy location near the metro. Reviewers describe reliable quality at reasonable prices, with standout noodles, beef, and grilled meats as recurring highlights. While the space stays simple rather than upscale, this does not detract from the overall satisfaction, and some note that decor could use an update. Beyond pho, dishes like spring rolls and vermicelli bowls are mentioned positively, and many say they would return and recommend Pho 88 for a satisfying Vietnamese meal.
One of my favorite spots in town .
Today me & my gf had the beef spring rolls, a papaya salad & the small beef soup & small tom yum soup with shrimps
Overall very tasty & the service was quick & efficient.
Everything is always fresh & the flavours are always on point .
We are always happy to come back & have more delicious food .
I use to come here years ago when I worked closer to it & a co-worker suggested it. Going back I had the standard rare beef soup. It was pretty good but not one of the better ones I have had in Montreal. I've also tried some of the other dishes & they were ok. Their imperial rolls I didn't like but their grilled chicken was ok. There are much better spots in the area that I would go to.
(Translated by Google) Pho 88, my favorite pho spot on the Island of Montreal! Authentic Vietnamese cuisine that tastes like a good home-cooked meal: always comforting! 🥰 The soup is always served piping hot (my ultimate comfort food!) & full of flavor, not to mention the grilled meats & spring rolls, a must-try every time I visit. The service is attentive & warm; I feel right at home every time, it's so cozy.
& the owner is really cute!

Pho 88, ma place de pho préférée sur l'île de Montréal ! Une cuisine vietnamienne authentique qui goûte comme un bon repas fait à la maison : toujours réconfortant ! 🥰 La soupe est toujours bien servi chaude (mon ultime réconfort!) & pleine de saveurs, sans oublier les grillades & les rouleaux impériaux, un incontournable à chaque visite. Le service est attentionné & chaleureux, je m'y sens comme chez moi à toute les fois , trop cozy.
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.
The restaurant needs a decoration upgrade. Dark & depressing feel. The chicken & rice are delicious. I tried the soup & it wasn't as toasty as the small soup served with the meal. Portions are generous.
One of my favourite Ph? restaurants. I stop here everytime I happen to be in Montreal. Great soup broth & generous portions of beef. I would recomend this to anyone who likes Ph? & is in the area. Enjoy your meal!

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.
Bof.... La soupe régulière est en fait une petite. Le bouillon est sans particularité, il n'y a que peu d'agrément dans le bol de soupe & aucunes herbes en accompagnement... il manque toute la base. Les rouleaux commerciaux sont 🤷🏼♂️ Je n'y retournerais pas.
I was so impressed with my lunch today! Delicious Spicy Sour With Coconut Milk, Srimp & Vermicelli soup, fantastic Vietnamese hot coffee & Fried Ice Cream! I'm still in heaven 🙂
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.
