The food was superb! Coming from a Northen Vietnamese, 10/10 for how tasty & authentic everything tasted, especially the pho with fresh rice noodles. It took a bit long to wait for the food to come, but it was well worth it. For anyone ordering a pho, I would recommend pairing it with a poached egg. Definitely will visit this restaurant again the next time we come back to Montreal.
In my opinion, this place is basically everything you may want in a Vietnamese pho spot. It's delicious, everything is fresh & made in house, staff is very helpful & accommodating, extremely reasonably priced, & very kind family owners.
THE BEST dining experience I've had in awhile thanks to the owner Anh!
We were visiting from Alberta & a group of 5 of us walked in after finding this place on a whim.
Anh came up to our table & started cracking jokes & creating conversation with us. He gave suggestions on what to order, talked about his families heritage in Vietnam, how he cooks his food, makes all his condiments from scratch etc.
When the food came out, he gave us an extra calamari no charge, stood table side & made us sauce mixtures from his condiments to dip our pho/meat into.
He was so open & kind saying that if we didn't like his food he would give us something else & take it off our bill. Well that didn't happen…
All the food here is SPECTACULAR. Fresh, hot, delicious. You can truly feel the love Anh puts into his food & the service he offers.
I was so upset leaving home for Alberta knowing I won't be able to eat here for awhile. But the next time I am in Montreal, I will be stopping by!

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 really enjoyed my meal at Pho Anh with my friends. The pho was delicious, with a rich & flavorful broth & fresh ingredients. The portions were generous & the service was friendly. It's a cozy place & perfect when you're craving a comforting bowl of pho. I'll definitely be back! 🍜
Wow, this is so good!! Everything is so flavourful & fresh. Highlights included the shrimp papaya salad (so fresh & crunchy!), the 3-day pho broth, the homemade fermented hot sauce & the broken rice. You can feel the heart. I can't wait to be back!
