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.
This place was a pleasant surprise.
The grilled chicken really stood out - the flavor was quite unique & the doneness was just right. It came with a salad & some lightly pickled carrots, which paired beautifully with the chicken & added a nice, refreshing contrast.
I'd highly recommend the grilled chicken rice - very well balanced & satisfying.
We also tried the noodle, which was more on the classic side. It was good & solid.
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.
We had a wonderful time at this Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant. We tried the pho soup & a dish of rice noodles with meat & vegetables - everything was absolutely delicious, well-prepared, & generous in portion.
What impressed us the most, besides the food, was the kindness of the owner & his family. Since it was raining outside, the daughter gave us plastic bags to protect our belongings, & the owner even offered us one of his umbrellas. We politely declined, but we were truly touched by such thoughtfulness.
A warm & welcoming place, with genuinely kind people. Highly recommended to everyone!

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!
We got the A4 Crispy Wings in Savory Fish Sauce. The owner explained that the sauce is his recipe, & it was excellent. Would recommend as a starter for sure!!
I got the V1 Charbroiled Pork as my main & I haven't had anything like it - the spices used in the sauce were delicious & I didn't want it to end. I was so satisfied after my meal. I would highly recommend & will be back next time I'm in Montreal!
Such a fun, cozy spot. Loved the service & the educational tips on how to correctly eat all the food.
Got the beef Pho with the egg on the side, highly recommend the egg. Unique experience & really fun to eat! Seems a bit odd at first but definitely worth it.
Prices are good, resteraunt is clean & cozy & would definitely return.
Absolutely loved this place! The pho was incredible - rich broth, fresh tender meat, & lots of delicious homemade pickled veggies. The spicy chili oil was a real treat too. Our server was so kind & even explained how to properly enjoy pho, which made the experience even better. Cozy, clean, & full of heart - highly recommend

Love this place! The Special Pho is huge & delicious. Very good broth. The pork chop is also great too. Nice flavor & very nice texturally, with a good sear & meat/fat ratio. We also loved their crispy chicken wings & shrimp spring rolls! The crispy chicken wings had an awesome breading (similar to Korean fried chicken) & the toasted peanuts gave it an extra crunch. The service here was also amazing. The woman serving the floor & tending to the back was a superstar. She was extremely helpful in explaining all the different dishes & helping us choose the right ones for us. This restaurant is worth your time! I would definitely come here again the next time I am in Montréal.
Edit: I had came back two days later & had the Bún bò Hu?. I highly recommend! It's the same consistency as the Special Pho broth but it has a much richer, deeper, meatier flavor. This would be good for you if you like to put a lot of condiments/flavors in your pho, as it is slightly spicier. I also had the Chè Thanh Nhi?t dessert & it was soooo good! I love the textures of the jellies & mung beans. It was a lovely end to my meal. I then got shrimp spring rolls to go just in case I had a midnight craving. I know they were good from last time.
I had a bowl of pho bo (with cooked brisket) & I felt like I was sitting in our favourite restaurant back in Vietnam. It was delicious. I highly recommend this place for its authentic pho bo. :-)
As another member of Kyrie's aforementioned'Table from New York,' I can attest to the quality & artistry of this place. It truly is art. From the moment we stepped in, we saw the Owner's selflessness, charisma, & skill on display. My friends & I lovingly dubbed him'the LeBron James of Pho' very soon after we entered the establishment, & he kept one upping himself the entire meal. It would've been one thing to have been blessed with his kindness & charm, it would've been another to have had a nice meal with friends in a beautiful place with nice ambience, but to top all that off, the food (& drink) was incredible. While we spent the most time interacting with the owner, & a little bit with another waitress, an immense amount of credit must also go to everyone else who works there. They all do a fantastic job. Needless to say, I highly recommend.
As per Kyrie's review, I am member of the table from New York who was seated next to her table. We had such a great time at this restaurant. The owner is incredibly passionate & confident about his cooking, & he has every right to be. It was so delicious, & he was such a pleasure to speak to. He made us feel so welcome. When we return to Montreal, we will be returning. What a great place! Highly recommend!!!
