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.

Ordered the Tom Yum citronelle with shrimp & the shrimp salad rolls. The soup was a huge portion, the noodles came separately & were a meal by themselves. The soup broth was decent, not the best I've had but good. I would definitely give the other soups a try. The only issue I would have is the giant "baby corn" they were huge cobs! The salad rolls were amazing & I can't wait to try the pork ones! It came with lots of their delicious peanut sauce.
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.

Delicious food, excellent portions, great prices. I'd just lower the music a little, because dance/pop music blasting during a meal can be quite unpleasant. Will definitely be coming back though.
Ce restaurant offre une ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante, un menu varié & délicieux, un service impeccable !! Que vous veniez pour une occasion spéciale ou simplement pour vous régaler, ce lieu ne vous décevra pas!!
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!
My go-to restaurant to enjoy a nice hot chicken soup or a delicious padthai. The ambiance is homie, & the servers are responsive. Plus the prices are so cheap compared to other restaurant & the portions are great !

L'ambiance du restaurant était très agréable & le service était très bon, la nourriture était bonne, la pâte à glace frite était très épaisse, il vaudrait mieux être plus fine.
Used to go at least once a week for dinner but after COVID the restaurant has become extremely filthy. It is so disgusting that you wonder if they don't even bother to clean the area where people are eating & visible now imagine the kitchen area where you don't see where the food is coming from! I just can't imagine the state of that kitchen!!
