Review Summary

Pho Anh is described across reviews as a standout Northern Vietnamese spot with a warm, homey vibe and a broth that is deeply flavorful and often said to be days in the making; diners note generous portions, fresh ingredients, and a range of dishes from pho and bun cha to vermicelli dishes, all complemented by homemade sauces and a memorable charred meat option. The service and ambiance are repeatedly highlighted as friendly and attentive, with staff guiding guests on how to enjoy the dishes and the owner engaging with tables, though a few experiences mention slower service during busy times or occasional mis-timed courses. A recurring theme is authenticity and heart in the cooking, with praise for the egg in the pho, customizable flavors, and the quality of coffee and side items like crispy spring rolls; many readers call Pho Anh a hidden gem and among the best pho in town, while a few note room for improvement in consistency and portion balance. Overall, Pho Anh is portrayed as affordable, welcoming, and genuinely Vietnamese, delivering a memorable dining experience that keeps people coming back.

This was our third visit, & once again, we had such a lovely experience. Besides the delicious food, we especially came back to see Ms. Ngoc - a truly friendly, warm, & lovely server - who often worked in dayshift. Her kindness & positive energy really make a difference & are hard to find elsewhere. We hope to see her back again soon. Such a great team!

Really good food. Full of flavour. Very friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommend. Extra ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the men's room being a Michael Jackson shrine.

Called about 20 minutes ahead for a group of 4. When we arrived, the place was packed - full house - & yet we were seated immediately with no wait. That alone deserves a mention.

This was actually my fourth visit, & it continues to deliver. Ordering was quick, the menu is simple & straight to the point, & the real star here is the food.

There was a new item on the menu: Mì Bò Kho - braised beef with egg noodles. Even with the restaurant being slammed, the food quality was solid & consistent. Their condiment tray is really good & honestly sets them apart from other pho spots - it elevates everything on the table.

One hiccup: one dish for our group of four was forgotten. After a quick reminder, it came out, & they kindly added a complimentary chè thanh nhi?t, which was a nice gesture & appreciated.

Yes, service was on the slower side - but given how busy it was, it was completely understandable.

The bill? Under $30 per person, taxes & tip included. Hard to beat.

Will I come back? Yes.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.

My go-to recommendations:

Bún Bò Hu? (BBH)

Their tamarind spicy paste - don't skip it.

Solid spot, good value, & consistent food even under pressure.

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 :(

The pho is good, but the extra boiled egg suggested by the restaurant to add to your order is just alright, nothing out of this world. One drawback: waiting time. The service is slow, kitchen quite slow.

My favourite restaurant in Montreal. The staff is always sweet & welcoming.

The restaurant isn't big, & seating is limited, but its popularity is undeniable. During peak dining hours, it's packed with people.

The beef bone broth is incredibly flavorful, not oily or greasy at all, & gets better with every sip! The noodles are also wonderfully smooth & delicious.

The owners make their own condiments: pickled chili peppers, pickled garlic, Sichuan peppercorn chili oil, etc. As long as you can handle spicy & salty flavors, the owner won't stop you from adding as much as you like!

I'll definitely go again!

Ambiance & food is fantastic. Customer service sublime, staff came by to check on us, promote the homemade broth, & explain that we should eat the egg as soon as possible. Plus the restaurant was full & had a nice vibe. Could have gotten better pictures of the pho but I was too busy devouring it.
Happy to say my friend & I have become regulars :)

Plats sans goût . Les aliments avaient pas le goût des aliments ( porc avait le goût du poisson), j'ai crue avoir la Covid tellement c'était aps ça . La serveuse ne levait jamais la tête voir si les clients avaient besoin d'aide ou autre . Mon amie devait aller la chercher que ce soir pour commander ou pour les factures. Bref belle déception les portions sont petites pour les prix & pour ce que la concurrence propose
