Ordered Com Tam (broken rice) & was served regular rice.
Broth for beef pho was a little on the salty side & the broth for the chicken pho was actually beef based & incredebly fatty it was nasty.
I visit Montreal quite often from Toronto & this is my mom's favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I was glad to find that the quality control is there & the quality of the food is comparable to Toronto locations. The pho soup is flavorful & the service is quick.
My only feedback is that I wish my pho tai had actually tai beef (rare). The beef was already mostly cooked by the time the soup arrived to our table. But overall, I still enjoyed my pho!

This is out second experience here at Pho Anh Vu & we definatly recommend this establishment almost at the corners of Atwater & Saint Catherine st.
Atmosphere is a plus, meal experience is fullfiling & very tasty, tonight is Friday & its only 1800 & there lined up at the door 10 deep waitting for a vacancy! Luckily we arrived at 1745 & there was no wait but limited table availability.
We came here in January on a Sunday afternoon & it was 45 minute wait!
I finally tried Pho Anh Vu & honestly, it lives up to the hype. The place itself is really nice, love the space, love the decor.
Service was A1 the whole time, super friendly & on point without being too much. The pho was actually really good, & the portions are huge, so you're definitely not leaving hungry.
It is a bit on the pricier side, which is worth mentioning, but overall the experience was really solid. I had a great time & would definitely go back.
One of the most spacious Vietnamese restaurants in the city...although a chain, it is the only one in Quebec I believe. The portions are larger than average but extremely tasty. Absolutely love the variety of sauces & pickled spicy additions on the table. Just wish they had more of that beef rib pho, often sold out early!

Their pho is amazing & surprisingly their grilled chicken is very juicy. We have been regular customers as of discovering it last year & every grocery visit ends up at Anh Vu to start a broth-fueled week:)
Good food, more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants probably because of the downtown rent.
Service was minimal to none. Only the girl server walks around the room looking for things to do. I had to raise my hand all the time for attention & often it's an adult coming out of the kitchen who notices me.
The grilled meat with noodles dish is served on a paper covered tray. Although stylish & rural tradition, it is not fun to eat on. Other restaurants always give you plates.
I would prefer to go to Ho Guom although service there is equally terrible.
I had the Pho Spécial Aux Côtes De Boeuf / Beef Rib Noodle Soup & it wad sooo goood. I took the large. They have different size, so when you go, pick one that's perfect for you.

Tuesday April 07,2026 I placed an order for item #15 & a large #4 for takeout by phone at 7:51 PM. I arrived at the restaurant to pick it up around 8:10 PM. I paid $38 but didn't receive a receipt. However, when I got home, what I received was a small #4 with spring rolls. What should I do about this order?
The atmosphere was lovely. I enjoyed the food more than the durian smoothie (strong condense milk flavor instead of durian favor) Overall, satisfying meal we had
