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 is described as a cozy welcoming spot offering authentic Northern Vietnamese flavors with a focus on house made broths and sauces where dishes such as pho, bun cha, broken rice and crispy wings stand out. Reviewers highlight rich flavorful broths, fresh ingredients, and generous portions at a good value, with many calling the pho the best they have had in Montreal or even in Canada. The service and atmosphere are frequently praised, with experienced staff and a warm family feel, though a few comments note slower service during busy times and occasional delays or mix ups. Vegetarian options are available and the broth is prepared separately to accommodate meat free dining, which many diners appreciate. Overall, Pho Anh is seen as a standout for authentic Vietnamese cooking, a reliable go to when craving comforting bowls and distinctive homemade sauces, and a place many plan to revisit.
One of the best pho experiences I have had. Authentic flavors, exquisite textures, & friendly service. I wish the business all the success in the future.

Superbe restaurant! Belle ambiance, la nourriture est délicieuse, surtout le spring roll (frit) & le summer roll (feuille de riz). Les prix sont abordables! À découvrir!
We had excellent crispy wings (a little sweet, delicious), bun cha (incredible, smoky meat & sweet broth with crisp vegetables), & the famous four colour steamed broken rice. I would've normally included a picture of all this but we were hungry, it was delicious & forgot to take pictures. Will definitely be back for delicious food & kind, friendly service. Very highly recommended, thank you!

Well I must say this was BEST PHO I've ever had. I'd like to think I've had a lot of pho in my life & to my surprise I've never had this type of authentic Pho from Hanoi. Pho will never be the same!!! Our server shared with us the history & how it takes three days to make the broth. Truly a thing of beauty!!!!!!! You may not even notice this place when you're walking on Rue St-Denis because it's hidden behind construction & in a basement, but trust me you must go.
I got a bowl of chicken vermicelli & it was the most bizarre chicken I've ever had. I'm not sure if it was badly butchered & chewy yet super tough for that reason, or if the meat itself was on its way to expiring but it was not the most pleasant experience. It also was criminally underseasoned lol
The soup is unique &'clean', the meats super tender & the homemade sauces on the table are very tasty. Nice variation to some of the more'westernized' pho in the city. The fried pork belly was a nice start to the meal as well. Ignore the renos & boarded up signs outside, go down the steps & try this spot. You will not regret it.
The food was good overall decent broth (7/10), but very mid meat (fatty/tough). The noodles are thick if you are used to the thinner ones - not a negative, just a note. They also don't provide chop suey or thai basil (update: the style pho that they serve does not usually have those condiments) but they do provide rarer condiments which is interesting (picked garlic, lemongrass sauce, etc). Their'fresh' chilis are frozen & not very spicy (they only bring one even when you ask for more).
Fast service, but not very friendly (not unfriendly though). The atmosphere is nice & quiet, with good spacing in between tables.

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.
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!
