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 appears in these reviews as a warm, family run spot known for authentic Northern Vietnamese pho with broth that simmers for days, homemade condiments, and fresh ingredients, and it offers vegetarian options with a broth prepared separately from meat stock; diners describe a rich, clean, deeply flavorful broth, generous portions, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Service is consistently noted as friendly and attentive, with explanations on how to enjoy each dish and occasional personalized recommendations, though busy evenings can bring slower service and seating challenges. The menu extends beyond pho to include items like bun cha, vermicelli dishes, spring rolls, crispy wings, and Vietnamese coffee, all described as well made and reasonably priced, with many reviews praising the authenticity and northern style as distinct from standard pho. The overall impression emphasizes care, tradition, and hospitality, with many diners stating they would return or recommend to friends; occasional comments about kitchen speed or balance of garnishes are outweighed by praise for the broth, the flavors, and the genuine warmth of the staff.
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!!

I agree with others - sometimes it's best to just let people eat their food the way they enjoy it. I understand the desire to share culture & regional traditions, but refusing things like bean sprouts or basil when someone asks for them feels a bit odd.
I've had pho many times, prepared in many different ways. I respect the idea of experiencing it'authentically,' but a lot of us already know what pho tastes like - especially those of us who grew up eating it regularly & around Vietnamese communities.
I know my preferences, & I always sip the broth first before adding anything, out of respect for the work & care that went into it. After that, how someone finishes their bowl should really be up to them.
Great tasting authentic Vietnamese food! Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants we've tried. The porkchop with rice, pho brisket & wings were delicious! We enjoyed everything we ate. The staff are super friendly & accommodating. Highly recommended if you're visiting Montreal.
The bún bò Hu? & ph? bò are excellent-authentic, flavorful, & clearly made by someone who knows these dishes well. The service exceeded our expectations; the staff made us feel truly welcome. We highly recommend this restaurant!
Authentic Vietnamese experience with great service! We felt like welcomed guests at the house of a cook who is passionate about his family recipes. Highly recommend!
A really incredible & authentic northern style pho restaurant!! The owner is so incredibly sweet & you can really tell he loves what he does! Some of the best pho I've had outside of Vietnam!
Not kidding - best pho I've ever had & I'm coming from NYC! The pho itself is delicious, but the experience & history with the Anh, the owner, is what makes it perfect. He explained to us every step of how to enjoy the pho perfectly from how to eat the egg to when to put in each side (to have 4 different tastes!) This is as authentic as it can get, with broth cooking for days & ingredients coming directly from Vietnam - nothing frozen! The traditional Northern Vietnamese style makes this pho distinct & delicious. End your meal with a cup of Vietnamese coffee, a sweet & bitter combo that is the perfect last note. You must stop by if you can, you will not regret your experience!
Perfect soups , refreshing herbs, quality meat , & the dipping sauces & spicy sauces are very authentic made with Vietnamese ingredients. Refreshing flavours . Also when the owners cares & make sure to give great recommends when you are ordering, it shows that they care!
