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 is described as a cozy welcoming spot offering authentic Northern Vietnamese flavors with a focus on house made broths and sauces where dishes such as pho, bun cha, broken rice and crispy wings stand out. Reviewers highlight rich flavorful broths, fresh ingredients, and generous portions at a good value, with many calling the pho the best they have had in Montreal or even in Canada. The service and atmosphere are frequently praised, with experienced staff and a warm family feel, though a few comments note slower service during busy times and occasional delays or mix ups. Vegetarian options are available and the broth is prepared separately to accommodate meat free dining, which many diners appreciate. Overall, Pho Anh is seen as a standout for authentic Vietnamese cooking, a reliable go to when craving comforting bowls and distinctive homemade sauces, and a place many plan to revisit.
Excellente soupe Phô. Nous avons été choyés, le proprietaire a pris le temps de nous expliquer concept de la soupe, recommandations & même un historique de l'endroit! J'ai adoré merci encore
What a lovely place! The food was delicious but the service was even better!
The owner took the time to show me the Vietnamese way to experience the dish, customising my pho to make it super traditional & was so proud of his food, which was delightful.
Told me i shouldn't need to add any condiments to my pho because he already seasons it well & it was absolutely true…best beef broth i've had so far.

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!
We ordered fried egg rolls & rare beef pho. The egg rolls were very crispy, & the pho soup was excellent. The shop owner is very friendly, & the food is worth the price. I definitely recommend it.
It is delicious, it is different from other Pho places because you don't get here the bean sprouts & basil, but they say that it is because this is authentic pho. It tastes amazing, we ordered some shrimp rolls, pho nam & bun bo hue. The service was also very good, they explained us how to eat everything. The washroom is so clean & appropriate. Definitely coming back soon.
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. :-)
My friends & I enjoyed a delicious meal here while visiting Montreal. When we first entered, it seemed that there would be no seating available, until the owner quickly put together group seating for all six of us. From that moment, we knew we were in for a great experience. The restaurant was very busy when we went, & as such, it did take some time for us to get our food. However, the atmosphere was both fun & comfortable, giving us quality time to talk to one anotherr. Even better, the food more than made up for any wait. I ordered the chicken vermicelli, & most of my friends had the beef pho. The owner came out & gave us excellent advice on how to mix & enjoy our respective dishes, along with great conversation. Each dish was made fresh with real care & dedication; it's clear that everyone who works there puts love into the meals they create, ensuring diners will enjoy them too. To top it off, the Vietnamese iced coffee they served was the best I'd ever had. It was an incredible experience overall. If you're looking for a good meal in a great place, go to Pho Anh.

Best pho I've had in a long time. The flavours in the broth are just awesome. & the owner came & mixed a special spicy sauce on the side. It was just delicious.
As a member of the table from New York mentioned in Kyrie's review, from the moment we entered this restaurant, my four friends & I knew we were in for a treat. Seeing this family owned business run with such incredibly excellent service gave us much confidence in the meal we were about to enjoy. As we sat down, we were met by the owner of the restaurant, who not only gave excellent advice on how to properly enjoy each dish, but was additionally incredibly personable & made our experience unbelievably fun. The food was out of this world. After enjoying the richest, most complex & enjoyable broth ever served with pho, we then rounded out our meal with the most immaculate, soothing iced Vietnamese coffee we had ever tasted. The food & drinks did not only taste delicious, but were additionally good for the soul. To top it all off, the ambiance was beautiful, & it was clear how much love was put into every meal. I truly can not recommend this place enough.
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.
The BEST pho vegetarian broth we've had & the only veggie pho my husband cares to try again. We've been to many pho places around the world & this place blows it out of the water. The gentleman who served us is super passionate about his cooking & we taste the unique blend of flavors in his food.
My friends from out of town are also amazed & so is the table from New York next to us. Highly recommended!

Great place to have a pho! Ahn the owner is a great host! Service is great, the food is really good too! If you want to have a good welcoming pho come to this place
I had the vegetarian special, the broth was really good, overall very good pho, & tasted fresh & satifying. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu
Ne pas avoir peur de l'aspect extérieur. Le propriétaire est super sympa il vous expliquera avec passion la recette & les façons de manger votre soupe Pho. Une belle découverte ! Beaucoup de goûts, bien équilibré, les différents condiments à côté sont appréciés. Une pause très agréable dans un cadre typique vieux continent.
