I love pho. If I was stuck on a dessert island & could only bring three meals, authentic pho (with tripe & rare beef) would be one of them. Here, the staff were friendly & kind, seating us even though it was close to their afternoon closing time, as well as very knowledgeable about allergies, specifically what was safe to eat for someone with Celiac disease (the menu is very detailed about this too). & this was the best - the best! - pho I have had in a very, very long time! My partner & I both had the B3, the special pho with rare beef, tendon, pork belly & tripe & it was amazing!! Their broth is cooked for three days & is so fragrant & flavourful, & the meat was tender & delicious. I love savory Northern-style pho & this made all my dreams come true! All their pickles & sauces are made in house & nothing was put on the table that wasn't safe for us to eat. Although not a 100% gluten-free restaurant, I had no qualms about eating here & will make sure to come back (at least twice) every time I visit Montreal.
I simply had the best pho ga in my life. The soup was so delicate, the meat incredibly soft, & I really appreciated the dipping sauce. I will probably think about that dining experience for a long time :)

The pho was amazing , the owner was really nice , he makes all the sauces in the restaurant & it's very authentic pho , i got pork belly appetizer , two large pho soups , a Vietnamese coffee & a mango smoothie for 60$ my girlfriend & I left with a full stomach
I definitely recommend this place for everyone.
Owner yaps a lot about the food quality & authenticity but it's buns. It's not good & most definitely not authentic Vietnamese food at all. The seasoning are way off & the dishes felt more like fusion between Viet cuisine & god knows what.
I got the c?m t?m & he said the right way to eat it was to sip the fish sauce instead of mixing it in the rice. As someone who was born & lived in Vietnam for most of my life, this was the first time someone told me I'm eating my food the wrong way. Maybe I'm not Vietnamese enough for this place lol.
THE BEST dining experience I've had in awhile thanks to the owner Anh!
We were visiting from Alberta & a group of 5 of us walked in after finding this place on a whim.
Anh came up to our table & started cracking jokes & creating conversation with us. He gave suggestions on what to order, talked about his families heritage in Vietnam, how he cooks his food, makes all his condiments from scratch etc.
When the food came out, he gave us an extra calamari no charge, stood table side & made us sauce mixtures from his condiments to dip our pho/meat into.
He was so open & kind saying that if we didn't like his food he would give us something else & take it off our bill. Well that didn't happen…
All the food here is SPECTACULAR. Fresh, hot, delicious. You can truly feel the love Anh puts into his food & the service he offers.
I was so upset leaving home for Alberta knowing I won't be able to eat here for awhile. But the next time I am in Montreal, I will be stopping by!
Les soupes pho sont authentiques à ce qu'on avait à Hanoï. La viande est fraîche (jamais congelée), & les accompagnements de sauces & condiments sont délicieux. Je recommande fortement 🙏🏻
Unassuming & casual spot that will surprise you with how flavourful the food offerings are. Everything is very authentic, served with homemade sauces & toppings. Definitely recommend if you're looking for traditional vietnamese in a cozy environment.
