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.
I'd say this is a must try restaurant when you are in Montreal. We went here on the first day we visited Montreal, it's kinda suprised me.
When we first saw the entrance, we were kind of hesitate as we confused if we went to the wrong place. However, after we enter the door, it's cozy & warm inside.
We ordered Saigon Crispy Wings in Savory Fish Sauce, Saigon Beef Meatball Noodle Soup, Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli. Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos as I couldn't wait to eat, I was starving...
Saigon Beef Meatball is tasty, can feel that's homemade meatballs. Charbroiled pork chop & charbroiled chicken for Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice were soft & juicy, but the rice was not enough for us. You might need to add rice if you have a good appetite. Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli was really good, the taste was something new to me.
I would recommend you to order Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli if you visit them.
Délicieuse Pho, le service est très courtois. Une des dames a pris le temps de me montrer son mix perso de sauce à faire pour la soupe que j'ai choisi & a fait de même pour la personne avec moi.

Attention, si tu manges ici, tu ne voudras plus jamais manger dans un autre restaurant vietnamien que celui là.
Déjà l'équipe nous ont accueilli tellement gentiment. Ils ont pris le temps de nous expliquer que c'était un peu différent des autres restaurants vietnamiens (différent dans le très bon sens).
On est allés le midi, donc il y avait un combo spécial : un breuvage, un rouleau de printemps & une soupe pho au poulet pour 20 $, ce qui est vraiment excellent. Finalement, on n'a pas eu juste un rouleau de printemps… on en avait deux. Dans le mien, c'était simple mais super bien exécuté : une crevette frite, enroulée dans une panure, avec une des meilleures sauces que j'ai mangées de ma vie. (On a demandé d'acheter un pot d'ailleurs)
Après ça, on a pris les ailes de poulet parce que c'était indiqué must try sur le menu, puis encore une fois, zéro déception. Elles étaient super croustillantes, très bonnes, puis le prix aussi valait vraiment la peine. La sauce, incroyable. D'ailleurs, comme vous le savez déjà, j'en ai même acheté un pot à part.
Ensuite, on a goûté aux soupes. Mon ami a pris la soupe tonkinoise avec les boulettes, puis le proprio nous a même préparé le mélange de sauces approprié pour l'accompagner. Gros point important : toutes les sauces étaient faites maison, & ça paraît. Honnêtement, c'est vraiment une place où il faut commander des plats avec des sauces, parce qu'elles sont tellement bonnes. Même la sauce hoisin est faite maison. (Mon ami a acheté 2 pots)
Ils servent aussi des petits condiments sur la table, puis tout est beau, propre, bien pensé. Le proprio nous expliquait aussi que la cuisine est faite dans la tradition du nord & on goûtait vraiment la différence.
La soupe était d'une fraîcheur incroyable : le bouillon, les herbes, tout était délicat & bien balancé . Mon poulet était cuit sous vide, puis on devait le tremper dans une autre petite sauce qui était tellement bonne que j'aurais pu la boire. Une sauce simple, avec des feuilles de citron, du poivre, du sel.
Franchement, Pho Anh vient de surclasser de loin, tous les autres restaurants vietnamiens dans lesquels je suis allé & ils méritent sincèrement cette note.
Quality is excellent, flavor is unique to the northern region of Vietnam! Noodles, meat & broth are on point! Sauce & sides are amazing & home made as well. Unreal service!
Most unique flavoured Pho I've ever had! Northern style soup, the owner explained to us how to prepare the soup (mix it) before we started eating it. Homemade fermented hot sauce, pickled chilis & garlic. Bonafide Vietnamese, this is my spot
Wow, this is so good!! Everything is so flavourful & fresh. Highlights included the shrimp papaya salad (so fresh & crunchy!), the 3-day pho broth, the homemade fermented hot sauce & the broken rice. You can feel the heart. I can't wait to be back!

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!
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!

Perfect soups , refreshing herbs, quality meat , & the dipping sauces & spicy sauces are very authentic made with Vietnamese ingredients. Refreshing flavours . Also when the owners cares & make sure to give great recommends when you are ordering, it shows that they care!
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.
So, I was in a mood: specifically, a mood for Vietnamese food. My taste buds were chanting "pho ga, pho ga!" So off we went in search of that magical chicken soup. They gave us a choice: clear rice noodles or "regular." Staff suggested the clear noodles, saying that's the traditional way they roll in Vietnam, & who am I to argue with noodle wisdom? So, my partner & I went for it, & let me tell you: chef's kiss. Tasty, delicious, & had me wondering if I could buy a lifetime supply. Oh, & there was a dipping sauce for the chicken-delightful little bonus. Plus, free water! Because hydration is important, kids. & get this: the bathroom had Michael Jackson album covers plastered all over. As an MJ fan, I might've done a little moonwalk right then & there. Total damage? About $37 with tip, & for two people? Total bargain 😉
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!

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 :)
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
