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.
Officially my favorite spot for Pho in Montreal. Just found this little gem today, & so happy I did. The pho was authentic like the one from Hanoi. Do yourself a favour & try this spot!! Little extra : service is A++++. So cozy & welcoming
northern plates, the pho ga is extremely good. the noodles pho are quality. beef salad is very good as well, it has a personal touch. bun chan meats are better than in hanoi. my only ask is to give more herbs!! Vietnamese food is all about herbs!
Finally A U T H E N T I C North Vietnam Pho. The best one ever so happy I discovered this place. The broth is fantastic & the chef made me a delicious bowl even I showed at closing time. So nice to see someone taking pride in his cooking. This is my new favorite place 🍜💛
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 😉
We had a craving for Pho on a chilly fall day in Montreal. This place does not disappoint. The owner personally came up to us & explained that the pho he serves here is true to what a traditional pho in Vietnam would be like. He explained the difference in flavor & serving preparations between what you normally find in western style pho restaurants & what you find in Vietnam. The quality speak for itself, everything was delicious, fresh, & prepared with care. If you are anywhere in central Montreal, this place is worth coming to.

C'était très bon & le bol de pho était pas mal gros. Mon seul bémol est peut-être pour ce qui est de la viande utilisée dans le pho : tantôt un morceau contenant trop de gras, tantôt une tranche de ce qui semble être du baloney à la dinde. Peut-être un autre bémol sur le fait que la personne nous ayant reçu ne parlait pas du tout français & a dû appeler une autre employée à sa rescousse. Sinon, je n'ai rien à redire d'autre de mauvais. Ce fut une belle expérience que je n'hésiterais pas à répéter, surtout là où c'est situé à quelques pas du cégep du vieux.
Vegetarian pho! It can be so hard to find a vegetarian pho, & this one is truly a gem. An impeccable balance of salt & umami flavor with diverse textures & perfect freshness melding together in one bowl. It's one of those dishes that leave you feeling not just full, but nourished. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & inviting; perfect for that important business meeting or very special date. Next time I'm back in Montreal, this place will be on my short list.
Great authentic Vietnamese restaurant with authentic Pho soup. Best Pho in Montreal! Service was good even though the restaurant was busy. I highly recommend it!
