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.
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.
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!
Definitely come back for more.

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.
After refining our orders & a quick lesson on the best ways to enjoy the variety of discrete components presented, we enjoyed our meals immensely. The food was presented beautifully - bowls of home-made broth with several kinds of pork, meatballs, eggs, fried rolls, pickles, noodles & copious amounts of fresh coriander, mint & lettuce. The owner & staff were very informative, lively & helpful. Vegetarian options are available & although none at our table sampled them, I can well imagine they are also wonderful. I will definitely be back for the spectacular combination of flavours & textures at Pho Anh.
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!
Best pho in town! Trust the waiters they know what they are talking about.
My GF & I tried two dishes & both were amazing. Super fresh ingredients & good quality meat. I appreciate that they don't cater to the Canadian palate.
A hidden gem in montreal! My friend recommended this restaurant during my recent trip mtl, & I will definitely come eat here again next time I'm in the city. Staff are very kind, & food is delicious! A nice ambience in the restaurant as well.
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!
A really incredible & authentic northern style pho restaurant!! The owner is so incredibly sweet & you can really tell he loves what he does! Some of the best pho I've had outside of Vietnam!
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!
Best Pho ever! (You have to try the homemade meatballs!!) The staff/owners are so welcoming & kind. I'm visiting from Australia & this was such a lovely place to find.
My wife & I enjoyed this 3x during our stay in Montreal, xl #10. The owner was so friendly & food comes super hot & fast. She even helped us carry our stroller up the staircase.
