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.
Quiet little Vietnamese place serving absolutely the BEST PHO EVER. I usually love the beef broth but the owner convinced me to try the chicken broth special they have going on right now. It is light, full of flavour & I honestly did not want to stop eating. I have no pics since the food was devoured the minute it came to my table. Will definitely be going back. Also a new winter favourite now.
Owner onsite & makes the food. His Pho is made over 3 days with just beef broth no chemicals or msg. We absolutely loved it. They also have pickled garlic that was outstanding you can add to it. I finished with a mango smoothie. I wish we found this one sooner.

I have tried many many Pho restaurants in Montreal, & Pho Anh has THE BEST beef pho in Montreal. The chef told me it takes him 3 days to make the beef broth & it shows !
So glad we found this gem. The head chef was so friendly & talked to all of us to make sure that we enjoyed his delicious food. Beef salad was incredible.
This is a hidden gem that deserves a lot more visits. Had dinner here right before the closing hour. I ordered B3, beef pho with brisket, beef slices, & the gelatinous connective tissues. With condiments at your hand, the pho is both bursting with flavors & fun to experiment with depending on your palette. According to the owner, who explained to me with great enthusiasm, the pho they make is of the north Vietnamese, notably Hanoi style. They make their broth 3 days in advance, with a lot of filtration such that the broth stays clear during the entire dining experience, & doesn't get muddy from the starch of the rice noodles. The different tissues & cuts of beef together with the broth will make you forget every "fake" pho you had in the past & be genuinely entertained by this bowl right in front of you. Will recommend to anyone visiting Montreal, especially on a rainy & exhausting day.
Some of the best Vietnamese food we've had outside of Vietnam. The beef salad was exceptional. All of the dishes were very flavourful, lots of fresh ingredients used in the preparation. Highly recommended.
Pho was super tasty. The broth is cooked for 3 days & the owner uses only fresh beef. It reminded me my trip to Vietnam. Rice paper rolls were also very nice. Service was great & attentive. They could work a little bit on a nice decor & atmosphere inside, but overall I'd definitely go back to try more things on the menu.

Pho Anh is a true culinary gem! From the warm welcome to the flavorful pho, every aspect of my dining experience was exceptional. The rich broth, tender beef, & friendly staff made my visit very welcoming. Reasonable prices & a diverse menu make this restaurant a must-visit for lovers of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I can't wait to return for more delicious meals at Pho Anh!
It's absolutely authentic place with awesome food. We do like Pho & tried it in different places before. So I am absolutely sure- this place is awesome ! highly recommend to visit. Host was very friendly. Also you have to try A7 - it's unique beef salad by chief's recipe!
I cannot recommend this Vietnamese restaurant enough! We ordered our usual dishes, B1 - Rare Beef & RC - Steamed Broken Rice Charbroiled Chicken, & they were absolutely amazing. The broth was incredibly clean & flavorful, & for the first time ever, we didn't feel sluggish after indulging in pho. The meats were tender & deliciously chewy. What sets this place apart is their commitment to quality. The owner shared with us that they use only fresh meat & onion to enhance the soup, omitting bean sprouts. Additionally, they provide hot pepper sauce, sliced ginger, & sliced pepper, which added even more depth to our pho experience. We're only staying in Montreal for two days, but we're already planning to revisit this gem. My only wish is for them to offer larger portions for us big foodies! :P
