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.
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.
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!!

Ahn (owner) was great! So kind & friendly & showed us the best ways to enjoy the authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The food was an excellent price & even more excellent quality! Pictured is the Obama meal (yes, that Obama) which was amazing & the spring rolls were divine. Also great was the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk - cannot recommend enough!
Such a great find!! Pho broth was clear & packed with flavor. Not pictured but the egg yolk on the side eaten in the pho broth was divine!! Bot chien was also standout. Very crisp with a creamy center. Bun cha Hanoi was also delicious. Highly recommend this place!!
Incroyable soupe pho avec un service hors pair! Si je pouvais donner plus que 5 étoiles je le ferais. Owner très gentil & attentif, t'explique comment manger la soupe pho & certains fait historiques de ce met vietnamien :) je recommande fortement
We had a great experience at Pho Anh! I went with a group of 8 people, & they were super accommodating & fast. The servers were very kind & took the time to explain each dish. Everyone LOVED their meal. Amazing food & service, I highly recommend!!

This is a hidden gem that deserves a lot more visits. Had dinner here right before the closing hour. I ordered B3, beef pho with brisket, beef slices, & the gelatinous connective tissues. With condiments at your hand, the pho is both bursting with flavors & fun to experiment with depending on your palette. According to the owner, who explained to me with great enthusiasm, the pho they make is of the north Vietnamese, notably Hanoi style. They make their broth 3 days in advance, with a lot of filtration such that the broth stays clear during the entire dining experience, & doesn't get muddy from the starch of the rice noodles. The different tissues & cuts of beef together with the broth will make you forget every "fake" pho you had in the past & be genuinely entertained by this bowl right in front of you. Will recommend to anyone visiting Montreal, especially on a rainy & exhausting day.
Some of the best Vietnamese food we've had outside of Vietnam. The beef salad was exceptional. All of the dishes were very flavourful, lots of fresh ingredients used in the preparation. Highly recommended.
Our first stop in Montreal. Delicious Vietnamese & some of the best I've had outside of Vietnam. Had Phở Tái Nạm & Bún Chả - Hà Nội. The owner talked to us about how he cooks everything fresh & made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend.
Pho Anh is in my neighbourhood & I go regularly for the pho, which is by far the best I have been able to find in the city. It h really is exceptional & the owner will give you a social history of pho. His rich broth takesthree days to prepare. Highly recommended

It's absolutely authentic place with awesome food. We do like Pho & tried it in different places before. So I am absolutely sure- this place is awesome ! highly recommend to visit. Host was very friendly. Also you have to try A7 - it's unique beef salad by chief's recipe!
I cannot recommend this Vietnamese restaurant enough! We ordered our usual dishes, B1 - Rare Beef & RC - Steamed Broken Rice Charbroiled Chicken, & they were absolutely amazing. The broth was incredibly clean & flavorful, & for the first time ever, we didn't feel sluggish after indulging in pho. The meats were tender & deliciously chewy. What sets this place apart is their commitment to quality. The owner shared with us that they use only fresh meat & onion to enhance the soup, omitting bean sprouts. Additionally, they provide hot pepper sauce, sliced ginger, & sliced pepper, which added even more depth to our pho experience. We're only staying in Montreal for two days, but we're already planning to revisit this gem. My only wish is for them to offer larger portions for us big foodies! :P
