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.

Endroit trouvé par hasard. Service du propriétaire excellent. Il est venu nous montrer comment manger notre soupe & avec quels ingrédients. Il fait tout maison. Cetait ma première fois & je reviendrai ici. La place en vaut le détour. Tout était parfait !
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.
Le bouillon était bon, mais j'ai été déçue du service & du reste du plat. Après nous avoir donné le menu & de l'eau, personne n'est revenu nous voir, nous avons dû aller à la caisse pour commander. Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de clients donc je ne comprends pas. Au moins, nous avons reçu nos plats rapidement. J'ai pris une soupe avec du boeuf saignant & de la poitrine de boeuf; j'ai trouvé la coupe du boeuf saignant assez épaisse & en petite quantité, & le boeuf sous vide avait beaucoup de gras. J'aurais aussi apprécié des fèves germées, mais on m'a dit que ce n'était pas possible puisque ça allait changer le goût (?), & que seulement certaines soupes en avaient. Dans tous les autres restaurants de Pho, je prends une commande similaire (boeuf saignant) & j'en ai toujours eu. Sur demande, j'aurais apprécié pouvoir en avoir, mais on m'a refusé. Je ne reviendrai pas :(
Tout était délicieux! Le bouillon de la soupe pho était extraordinaire! Doux, savoureux & qui réchauffe l'âme! Délicieux!! Je vais y retourner c'est certain!! Bravo!
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

Je comprend pas la bonne note. J'y suis allé hier & notre expérience était vraiment nulle. La localisation est bonne mais c'est tout. Nous avons reçu nos plats après plusieurs autres client qui sont arrivés après nous. Nous avons failli partir tellement c'était long (plus de 45 min) La soupe Tonki était correct mais sans plus mais à 19$ il y a vraiment meilleur ailleurs. La salade de papaye dégueulasse on la retourné. Il ont essayé de nous le charger malgré que nous avons specifié qu'on a vraiment pas aimé & qu'il allait pas nous charger .. les serveurs ne parlaient pas vraiment français (ça me dérange pas tant normalement) mais la c'est une accumulation de mauvaise expérience. Il manque peut être de temps & d'expérience au staff mais honnêtement pour 50$ pour une pho & une entrée & tips, allez ailleurs.
Il est rare de trouver une soupe pho qui se démarque véritablement, mais l'expérience vécue au restaurant Pho Anh a été une révélation. J'ai eu la chance de déguster un bol de pho d'une qualité exceptionnelle, comme j'en ai rarement rencontré dans d'autres établissements.
? Ce plat, véritablement mémorable, est offert à un prix très abordable, ce qui rend cette adresse d'autant plus précieuse.
?En somme, si vous recherchez un' pho' qui sort de l'ordinaire, un véritable festin pour les papilles, le tout servi avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix, ne cherchez plus. Pho Anh est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine vietnamienne. Un vrai coup de coeur !
Delicieusement vôtre !👌🌟🌟🌟🙏
It's rare to find a pho soup that really stands out, but the experience at Pho Anh restaurant was a revelation. I've been lucky enough to taste a bowl of pho of exceptional quality, as I've rarely seen in other establishments.
This truly memorable dish is offered at a very affordable price, which makes this address all the more valuable.
In short, if you are looking for a'pho' that is out of the ordinary, a real feast for the taste buds, all served with excellent value for money, look no further. Pho Anh is a must-see for Vietnamese food lovers. A real crush!
Please yours! 👌🌟🌟🌟🙏
Cozy restaurant located on Saint-Denis street. Probably family owned. You are welcomed by the fragrance of warm broth as soon as you enter the restaurant. The staff was quick & responsive to our needs. They also give some condiments & seasonings on the side. Its a big bowl of clear flavourful soup, perfect for a cold evening :)
We had a wonderful time at this Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant. We tried the pho soup & a dish of rice noodles with meat & vegetables - everything was absolutely delicious, well-prepared, & generous in portion.
What impressed us the most, besides the food, was the kindness of the owner & his family. Since it was raining outside, the daughter gave us plastic bags to protect our belongings, & the owner even offered us one of his umbrellas. We politely declined, but we were truly touched by such thoughtfulness.
A warm & welcoming place, with genuinely kind people. Highly recommended to everyone!

La soupe est excellente! De loin, il s'agit de la meilleure soupe phô que j'ai eu la chance de déguster! J'ai pris la phô au boeuf saignant & wow!!!! L'ambiance est calme, voire sereine & le service est impeccable.
I am not usually one to write reviews. But after deeper thoughts, our experience at Pho Anh was so pleasant that it made the talk of our drive home & our family dinner today.
We came on a Sunday night with grumpy faces & sore feet as our original reservation at another Pho restaurant was cancelled upon short notice. We looked online & saw Pho Anh had the best ratings in all montreal so this was our last resort. It was very busy when we came in & we weren't expecting much but BOY was i wrong!
Anh! I dont know what magic goes in that kitchen but you've got to tell me the secret. I got the meatball soup. Let me tell you: the first sip made my mood turn a whole 180 degree! The taste brought me back to my old days in vietnam. I haven't seen this dish in such a long time that I had completely forgotten how good it is. We also got the crispy wings as starter. Though I must say, for such a busy night, me & my family were more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service! Despite the busy crowd, our waitress took the time to guide us with the menu. See, I have vietnamese roots but after moving here I have forgotten most of my mother language. My wife as for her, is only fluent in french & my mother came here for a short visit so she only speaks vietnamese. Regardless of the language barrier among us, Vyvy was kind enough to help us understand every dishes & even took the time to go back & forth between three different languages!! JUST to ensure that we could enjoy our meal the best way possible. It always amazes me how talented these youngsters are. She had such genuine positivity & excitement that her joy might have been the secret ingredient.
But I have to say: Anh, your daughter has very promising sales skills. From the poached egg to the coffee, best part: they arent just trying to sell but care deeply about your experience. She gave very honest yet effective advertising ( the poached egg is a must get). Anyways enough blabla, this place is a true gem for vietnamese cuisine fanatics although i must be honest it gets busy FAST & there seems to be very little staff. I don't want to seem nosy yet seeing a little girl running an entirely filled restaurant while her colleagues were almost no where to be seen does get concerning. Management might need a little improvement but aside from that, the service & the food made it all worthwhile! Will definitely recommend to all my friends!
Le service était excellent & les soupes étaient délicieuses & authentiques. Les prix sont raisonnables considérant l'emplacement. La version végane est savoureuse.
Me & my wife passing by, we discovered this wonderful restaurant. The ambience very calming, service is good & food is the main highlight unlike regular Pho that you go most of the time. They serve the meal in classy dishes with unique egg roll. They also provide us special egg tiny soup which to take as a shot which was very interesting. Also the washroom is extremely clean. I would recommend this Pho if want to try something unique Pho.

The pho here is AMAZING! BEST PHO I have had so far. The soup was so deep in flavor & it was perfect after eating a heavy meal for several days. Very comforting. 🥰
My husband got the bon bo hue which was good too! We also had a shrimp papaya salad (there are other options for meat). The owner was super nice & explained how to eat to have the best experience. We asked how the pho tastes so good & he said that the soup takes 3 DAYS to prepare.🤯 He definitely works hard & I hope this palce gets more recognition.
The only thing was that the seats on the corners were tilted because the restaurant is half underground & the flooring can get uneven. However, the store is very cute. I have to recommend it because the food & the owner were so nice.
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
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!
