Pho Anh only sells delicious food with traditional Vietnamese flavor. Originating from a small Nam Vang Hu Tieu restaurant at 94 Nguyen Tri Phuong, Saigon, Vietnam, which was started in 1982 by a Cambodian refugee Pol Pot family. Pho Anh proudly sells only famous pure Vietnamese dishes with distinctive flavours, original display. Pho Anh first opened its doors to Canadian diners in August 2014 in Vaughan, Ontario. The perfect combination of unique Vietnamese cooking art in a cozy and clean space has allowed Pho Anh to gain the wide trust of the majority of diners.
Pho Anh is described as a cozy welcoming spot offering authentic Northern Vietnamese flavors with a focus on house made broths and sauces where dishes such as pho, bun cha, broken rice and crispy wings stand out. Reviewers highlight rich flavorful broths, fresh ingredients, and generous portions at a good value, with many calling the pho the best they have had in Montreal or even in Canada. The service and atmosphere are frequently praised, with experienced staff and a warm family feel, though a few comments note slower service during busy times and occasional delays or mix ups. Vegetarian options are available and the broth is prepared separately to accommodate meat free dining, which many diners appreciate. Overall, Pho Anh is seen as a standout for authentic Vietnamese cooking, a reliable go to when craving comforting bowls and distinctive homemade sauces, and a place many plan to revisit.
I got a bowl of chicken vermicelli & it was the most bizarre chicken I've ever had. I'm not sure if it was badly butchered & chewy yet super tough for that reason, or if the meat itself was on its way to expiring but it was not the most pleasant experience. It also was criminally underseasoned lol
The soup is unique &'clean', the meats super tender & the homemade sauces on the table are very tasty. Nice variation to some of the more'westernized' pho in the city. The fried pork belly was a nice start to the meal as well. Ignore the renos & boarded up signs outside, go down the steps & try this spot. You will not regret it.

The food was good overall decent broth (7/10), but very mid meat (fatty/tough). The noodles are thick if you are used to the thinner ones - not a negative, just a note. They also don't provide chop suey or thai basil (update: the style pho that they serve does not usually have those condiments) but they do provide rarer condiments which is interesting (picked garlic, lemongrass sauce, etc). Their'fresh' chilis are frozen & not very spicy (they only bring one even when you ask for more).
Fast service, but not very friendly (not unfriendly though). The atmosphere is nice & quiet, with good spacing in between tables.
I'd say this is a must try restaurant when you are in Montreal. We went here on the first day we visited Montreal, it's kinda suprised me.
When we first saw the entrance, we were kind of hesitate as we confused if we went to the wrong place. However, after we enter the door, it's cozy & warm inside.
We ordered Saigon Crispy Wings in Savory Fish Sauce, Saigon Beef Meatball Noodle Soup, Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli. Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos as I couldn't wait to eat, I was starving...
Saigon Beef Meatball is tasty, can feel that's homemade meatballs. Charbroiled pork chop & charbroiled chicken for Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice were soft & juicy, but the rice was not enough for us. You might need to add rice if you have a good appetite. Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli was really good, the taste was something new to me.
I would recommend you to order Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli if you visit them.
Délicieuse Pho, le service est très courtois. Une des dames a pris le temps de me montrer son mix perso de sauce à faire pour la soupe que j'ai choisi & a fait de même pour la personne avec moi.
I can during lunch on a Monday & it was so chill! The ambience was nice! Food came out fast & was yummy! I also tried their vietnamese coffee which was so good!
Attention, si tu manges ici, tu ne voudras plus jamais manger dans un autre restaurant vietnamien que celui là.
Déjà l'équipe nous ont accueilli tellement gentiment. Ils ont pris le temps de nous expliquer que c'était un peu différent des autres restaurants vietnamiens (différent dans le très bon sens).
On est allés le midi, donc il y avait un combo spécial : un breuvage, un rouleau de printemps & une soupe pho au poulet pour 20 $, ce qui est vraiment excellent. Finalement, on n'a pas eu juste un rouleau de printemps… on en avait deux. Dans le mien, c'était simple mais super bien exécuté : une crevette frite, enroulée dans une panure, avec une des meilleures sauces que j'ai mangées de ma vie. (On a demandé d'acheter un pot d'ailleurs)
Après ça, on a pris les ailes de poulet parce que c'était indiqué must try sur le menu, puis encore une fois, zéro déception. Elles étaient super croustillantes, très bonnes, puis le prix aussi valait vraiment la peine. La sauce, incroyable. D'ailleurs, comme vous le savez déjà, j'en ai même acheté un pot à part.
Ensuite, on a goûté aux soupes. Mon ami a pris la soupe tonkinoise avec les boulettes, puis le proprio nous a même préparé le mélange de sauces approprié pour l'accompagner. Gros point important : toutes les sauces étaient faites maison, & ça paraît. Honnêtement, c'est vraiment une place où il faut commander des plats avec des sauces, parce qu'elles sont tellement bonnes. Même la sauce hoisin est faite maison. (Mon ami a acheté 2 pots)
Ils servent aussi des petits condiments sur la table, puis tout est beau, propre, bien pensé. Le proprio nous expliquait aussi que la cuisine est faite dans la tradition du nord & on goûtait vraiment la différence.
La soupe était d'une fraîcheur incroyable : le bouillon, les herbes, tout était délicat & bien balancé . Mon poulet était cuit sous vide, puis on devait le tremper dans une autre petite sauce qui était tellement bonne que j'aurais pu la boire. Une sauce simple, avec des feuilles de citron, du poivre, du sel.
Franchement, Pho Anh vient de surclasser de loin, tous les autres restaurants vietnamiens dans lesquels je suis allé & ils méritent sincèrement cette note.
Endroit trouvé par hasard. Service du propriétaire excellent. Il est venu nous montrer comment manger notre soupe & avec quels ingrédients. Il fait tout maison. Cetait ma première fois & je reviendrai ici. La place en vaut le détour. Tout était parfait !
A man, who I assume was the restaurant's owner, was incredibly kind, informative, & clearly passionate about his place.
He came over to give us a little history about pho & its different varieties as well as welcoming us.
I've never tried pho before because it's been hard to find vegetarian-friendly options. The owner let us know that not only did they have vegetarian choices, but the broth is also made completely separate from anything containing meats.
I really appreciated that! It was delicious, satisfying, & definitely something I'll enjoy again.

If your looking for a truly authentic food experience, look no further. The food was delicious & very authentic. It's not your typical pho flavours you are use too. It is very good, do not get me wrong, just not your typical pho taste. This is a million times better than. Highly recommend the chicken wings & Shrimp rolls.
Absolutely breathtaking, spectacular, & high-quality food I've ever had. This is the place to come for a cozy, warm, & filling meal. It's truly authentic with amazing service. I will be recommending this place to all of my friends & family!!
