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 can during lunch on a Monday & it was so chill! The ambience was nice! Food came out fast & was yummy! I also tried their vietnamese coffee which was so good!
I agree with others - sometimes it's best to just let people eat their food the way they enjoy it. I understand the desire to share culture & regional traditions, but refusing things like bean sprouts or basil when someone asks for them feels a bit odd.
I've had pho many times, prepared in many different ways. I respect the idea of experiencing it'authentically,' but a lot of us already know what pho tastes like - especially those of us who grew up eating it regularly & around Vietnamese communities.
I know my preferences, & I always sip the broth first before adding anything, out of respect for the work & care that went into it. After that, how someone finishes their bowl should really be up to them.

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
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! 👌🌟🌟🌟🙏
Expensive for under average food (I got the Bun Cha Hanoi) when compared to other vietnamese places I've eaten at in Montreal. Furthermore I left a bit hungry there were very little rice vermicelli, wouldn't hurt to double the amount or propose to give some more if someone feels like they are lacking.
Great tasting authentic Vietnamese food! Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants we've tried. The porkchop with rice, pho brisket & wings were delicious! We enjoyed everything we ate. The staff are super friendly & accommodating. Highly recommended if you're visiting Montreal.

We are out-of-towners craving Vietnamese food. The ambience felt warm & cozy. The service was great, very friendly. The food, amazing! The bun bo hue, nem ran, & che were flavorful & portions good...delicious!
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!
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!
If you're visiting Montreal… this is one Vietnamese restaurant you need to try. It's on a strip with many choices & this is one for you. Small place what looks like family owned & operated & it's busy so you know food is good yet no waiting time.
Very friendly staff & quick to served. Food is tasty & very fresh. Priced more reasonable than most similar places elsewhere. No matter what you order you will be happy.
This is a genuine Vietnamese place, the food is excellent! I'll come again when I'm in Montreal- it's worth the detour
It is somewhat difficult to find as sign is small & just next to hotel at below ground level

Hidden gem! So lucky i found this place. It tastes just like in Vietnam. Best service, perfect portion. This is the place i will come to when i'm craving for real Vietnamese food!
Taste of Vietnam in Montreal, especially if you are looking for legitimate Broken Rice, this place has it, other places serve you jasmine rice or regular rice, which isn't Vietnamese version of Com Tam.
Also, they serve different broths for each type of protein such as Beef Pho, Chicken Pho, or Vegetables Pho. Usually one broth for all in other places, so kudos to the dedication of serving the Pho broths distinctively here!
We came in a big group so there was a bit of wait time for the food due to large orders, so that's totally normal.
Their BBH also amazing, hit the spot! You have extra sate & fried chilies flakes on the side for added kick!
100% traditional Vietnamese flavors. The owner is polite & provides excellent, attentive service. Centrally located, yet the prices are very affordable. The best Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal.
100 % de saveurs vietnamiennes traditionnelles. Le propriétaire est courtois & offre un service attentionné & chaleureux. Situé en plein centre-ville, mais les prix restent très abordables. Le meilleur restaurant vietnamien à Montréal.
Authentic Vietnamese experience with great service! We felt like welcomed guests at the house of a cook who is passionate about his family recipes. Highly recommend!
