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.
Service is slow, restaurant is super hot. $20 for a bowl of pho that barely has any meat & noodles. Ordered a strawberry smoothie, & it was practically like water & got the smoothie right as we were ready to leave & pay rather than at the beginning when we first ordered it. The food here is nothing special nor is the place. Definitely would suggest trying other pho places.

I guess growing up in Vancouver I got spoiled on good pho. If you're from Vancouver or Toronto, don't bother with this place as you'll be disappointed. If you're from Nunavut, sure this could be a nice pho place. On a side note, the place really needs AC in 30 degree weather.
Quaint spot. I feel they could add a bit more meat for the pho but it was tasty & otherwise fair amount for the price. Enjoyed the pickled garlic & peppers!
Délicieuse pho végétarien & café glacé viet. Le personnel est très gentil & accueillant & les commandes à emporter sont rapides & efficaces. Je recommande fortement
Me & my wife passing by, we discovered this wonderful restaurant. The ambience very calming, service is good & food is the main highlight unlike regular Pho that you go most of the time. They serve the meal in classy dishes with unique egg roll. They also provide us special egg tiny soup which to take as a shot which was very interesting. Also the washroom is extremely clean. I would recommend this Pho if want to try something unique Pho.

Taste of Vietnam in Montreal, especially if you are looking for legitimate Broken Rice, this place has it, other places serve you jasmine rice or regular rice, which isn't Vietnamese version of Com Tam.
Also, they serve different broths for each type of protein such as Beef Pho, Chicken Pho, or Vegetables Pho. Usually one broth for all in other places, so kudos to the dedication of serving the Pho broths distinctively here!
We came in a big group so there was a bit of wait time for the food due to large orders, so that's totally normal.
Their BBH also amazing, hit the spot! You have extra sate & fried chilies flakes on the side for added kick!
After refining our orders & a quick lesson on the best ways to enjoy the variety of discrete components presented, we enjoyed our meals immensely. The food was presented beautifully - bowls of home-made broth with several kinds of pork, meatballs, eggs, fried rolls, pickles, noodles & copious amounts of fresh coriander, mint & lettuce. The owner & staff were very informative, lively & helpful. Vegetarian options are available & although none at our table sampled them, I can well imagine they are also wonderful. I will definitely be back for the spectacular combination of flavours & textures at Pho Anh.
Best pho in town! Trust the waiters they know what they are talking about.
My GF & I tried two dishes & both were amazing. Super fresh ingredients & good quality meat. I appreciate that they don't cater to the Canadian palate.
I will be back for sure!

Phenomenal pho. The broth is super flavorful & good amount of meat. Spring rolls with the fish sauce is excellent. Despite being a seasoned pho consumer, I learned some new techniques from the owner. He prepared a dipping sauce on our table (hoisin + fresh garlic + pickled jalapeno + chili oil) which was perfect to dip the meat in before each bite. Also my wife got an egg with her pho & the owner walked us through his preferred method in devouring it in one shot haha. Overall fantastic & we will be back!
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!
Best Pho ever! (You have to try the homemade meatballs!!) The staff/owners are so welcoming & kind. I'm visiting from Australia & this was such a lovely place to find.
Had an interesting & overall positive experience at this pho restaurant. Despite only having two people managing the front of house, the service was reasonable & we felt accommodated throughout our visit. Just a heads-up - if you're coming with a big group, the food may not arrive all at once, so expect some staggered timing.
The owner, who seems to be an older gentleman, was quite hands-on - he even showed us how to properly enjoy the dishes according to his culture. It came across as a bit abrupt at times, but you can tell it comes from a place of pride & passion for the food.
Speaking of which, the food was genuinely unique compared to other pho spots. We ordered five different dishes & not a single one disappointed - everything was flavorful & well-prepared.
The washrooms were clean, & they also had a high chair available, which was great for our little one. All in all, it's a place with character, good food, & a memorable dining experience.
Tbh the best pho I've ever had!!! Love this place & will definitely come back again. Rare beef pho & summer rolls are amazing. The pickled garlic & chilli oil are so good too❤?
