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.
I've had pho my whole life in many many places in Montréal & Toronto & thought I knew what pho was......until I stumbled on this gem. Everything is homemade down to the sauces & is hands down the best pho I've ever had. The broth is rich the meat is never frozen therefore tender & the homemade sauces are exquisite. This place is so good that it ruined all my other favorite places I thought I loved. On top of it all the waitress & the owner are absolute sweethearts & attentive. My wife & I will be back...many times. Thank you!

I went there for the first time today & let me say this: this place is HIDDEN GEM. From the food to the restaurant itself, i loved everything about this restaurant. the person who served us (who i am assuming is the owner) was very passionate & gave us some recommendations. he also told us how everything there is fresh & homemade. the washrooms were also spotless & smelled good. this was overall a great experience & i WILL be coming back for more yummy pho. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Currently visiting Montreal & stumbled upon this restaurant. It did not disappoint! The bun cha was so authentic, it reminded me of the food in Hanoi! The flavors were perfect & the egg roll was nice & crispy. The pho ga was delicious as well, very clean & simple but you could taste how fresh the ingredients were. There was also a lemon pepper sauce that you could dip the chicken in for more flavor. Would definitely come here again :)
True northern style Pho, I liked everything from the vintage decoration to the beef noodle soup, rare egg in soup & coconut ice creams for desserts. Owner & staff were very friendly too
Wow....very clean, courteous service & exceptional pho. The broth that's perfectly seasoned & full of flavours, not like those salty & full of MSG like many places I have been to. This place is the keeper.
We sought out Pho Anh on a rainy miserable night, & were not disappointed. Service was excellent, the single server running hither & yon to look after everybody. She was cheerful, friendly, professional & so very sweet & kind. Our dinner was fantastic, & the pho took us back to our visits to Vietnam. Pho differs from region to region in Vietnam, so this pho is different than what we have in Vancouver, but it was fantastic! Very flavourful, courtesy of the high quality ingredients & the broth that cooks for three days. The pork & chicken & rice dish was equally excellent. One of the best Vietnamese restaurant experiences we have ever had, & we'd heartily recommend Pho Anh if you are in Montreal.

This place came highly recommended by my son who lives across the street as well as two complete strangers we met at a pub a few doors down. It would've been easy to miss as it's on a lower level on the busy street of St. Denis but it should not be overlooked. The service was excellent, so much pride in the food & space. We had a selection of dishes, all which were so delicious & fresh. The beef salad appetizer, which I almost forgot to order then I remembered that the strangers at the pub raved about, did not disappoint. I could've eaten buckets of it. Every bite was fragrant & flavourful. The owner even came over to tell us it was his own creation so not available anywhere else. Every time I come back here I will order it without fail. Loved everything about this hidden gem. Sorry no photos...we were too excited to eat!

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.
The owner / cook was very proud of his pho broth, & for good reason! He made sure to check in with us & let us know that we were having the "real pho, so no bean sprouts, etc." & came again later on to ask how it was. Our answer: delicious! We also enjoyed the I highly recommend this place dessert, which reminded me a lot of Filipino halo-halo. Service was great, & the food was served fast. Would come here again.
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 !
Unbelievable Pho!! The amount of work the chef puts into the execution of the food & its quality shows!! Such a wild blend of flavors & textures that compliment each other so perfectly. The chef came to our table & took the time to educate us on traditional cooking methods. The Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is a MUST TRY! 12/10
This has to be my favourite restaurant ever. The chef always comes to talk to you to reel you about the dish & how to eat it. It is the perfect balance between feeling like you having dinner at a friends house & having a fine dining experience. You can tell that a great amount of care was put in to their dishes. Put simply their vegetarian pho was the probably the best dinner I have ever had. I would highly recommend this amazing place!!
Best pho 🍜 ever. Best shrimp spring rolls ever- so crisp & fresh. Service, excellent & genuine; the owner/cook Anh came out & blessed us with his presence & quick share of his authentic recipes. Tommy our server was kind, gentle soul. Thank you Pho Anh 🙏
