Pho Anni is repeatedly praised for generous portions and good value, with bowls described as hearty and satisfying, and the grilled plates and sides like spring rolls and shrimp tempura earning steady compliments. The broth is a common highlight for warmth and balance, though a number of reviews note that it can feel a bit bland or lacking depth on some visits and that consistency can vary, especially when the kitchen is busy. Service is often described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, but a few reviews mention slow or uneven service and long waits, sometimes tied to being short staffed. The ambiance is frequently called cozy, clean, and welcoming, with a pleasant vibe and a family run feel that many return to for the reliable lunch specials and generous meat portions. Overall, Pho Anni is regarded as a solid Montreal option for pho and Vietnamese favorites, offering affordable prices, a wide menu, and flavors that satisfy a craving while leaving some days with room for improvement in broth depth and front of house consistency.
I've had the pho three times now & I won't be returning. For some reason, the rice noodles are always cut short & overcooked. The broth isn't very flavourful or rich - it requires a lot of hoisin & Sriracha to give it a good flavour. Nice clean resto & fast service but the pho just doesn't cut it.

After reading the exciting reviews, I decided to go & try their Pho soup. I ended up trying the soup, imperial roll & shrimp tempura. The food was good...I will probably not go again, the broth was a bit bland.
I also found the waiter to be surprisingly standoffish.... & the service was a bit slow in my opinion since there was only one other table awaiting for their food.
I've been back here a few times now, & honestly, it's become one of my go-to spots in Montréal when the pho craving hits. Each visit has its own little story - here's the breakdown:
👨?🍳 Food Highlights:
• Shrimp tempura = crispy perfection 🦐🔥.
• Spring rolls + dumplings = crunchy, flavorful, & totally addictive 🥟🥢.
• Pho = not the absolute best broth in the city, but solid & generous with the meat 🍲🐂. Would've loved a squeeze of lime for brightness 🍋, but hey - house rules.
• Shrimp dish (Letter H) - fresh, tasty, & my fave from one of my visits.
• Combo deals (pho + imperial roll, or spring roll + beef) are great value 💸👌.
🏠 Ambiance:
• Clean, peaceful, & plenty of seating. Comfortably spaced, not crammed in.
• Even when it's quiet (like Monday afternoons), the vibe is chill & relaxing - perfect for catching up with friends.
🤝 Service:
• Usually friendly & helpful, especially with bigger groups (we were 8 people midweek, & everyone left happy ✨).
• That said, service can be a little inconsistent - once I had to wait to be seated even though it was nearly empty, & ended up grabbing my own menu. Not the end of the world, but a small detail they could polish.
🚗 Practical Notes:
• Prices? Affordable & fair - especially the lunch combos 🥢💵.
• Parking? Classic Montréal headache 🅿?🤦, so plan ahead.
?
👉 Verdict: A solid pho spot with tasty sides, friendly staff, & wallet-friendly combos. Not Michelin-level broth, but you'll leave full, happy, & without breaking the bank. For me, it's a repeat place - & that says a lot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fast & courteous service. The food is delicious. We had an extra large Pho & their lunch special with a small soup, drink & a bahn-mi. Very reasonably priced. I will be back & I highly recommend you try this place❤?

The warm bowl of pho & steak on rice were such a welcome meal on the rainy evening that we visited this nice restaurant. The server was a polite young man who was a delight to talk to. We had a wonderfulr experience & will be sure to come back if ever in the mood for excellent food. Well done, Pho Anni!
A really good place to get phò, the serving is nice & the price is quite good. I would not say it's the best broth I've ever had, but it is really good. Note that their vegetarian phò is actually really vegetarian, broth & all. I'll have to go back to try the other items on the menu next time. The service is also excellent, very friendly & attentive.
Everything was great, loved the sauces & the shrimp tempura. Spring rolls & dumplings were excellent as well. Would've liked some lime juice in my pho but I can respect the house rules. Great value, especially with the lunch combo. Extra points for the friendly service. Keep in mind that like everywhere else in Montréal, the parking situation was a bit of a hassle.
Amazing Pho. The ambiance is very peaceful, there is lots of seating & seating is comfortable. Very nice service, highly recommend for an authentic Pho. We had the combo A chicken spring roll & beouf. & also tried the shrimp tempura. Also very affordable prices!
One of the best pho restaurants in Montreal, offering top-notch service & excellent hospitality. The portions are generous, & the flavor is outstanding. After eating, you won't feel thirsty, which means, unlike other places, they don't use MSG.
We were surprised by the number of 5 star reviews, so we went to try it. Here is another 5 star review x)
Service was very good. Friendly staff. Pho very delicious with thick meat slices (although I found some of them a bit fat, but my partner liked it).
We took a dessert of the day: the Pandan cake, it was also very much delicious.
Pros: Nice family owned business with kind hearted people who run the show. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely & you can bring your own wine. The service is very friendly & warm. Overall delicious food (but the pho is mediocre, hit or miss depending on the day).
Cons: The service however is very slow & staggered. For example, it takes time to even get a menu after being seated, getting a server to take our order is long, we get our water after we begin our meals, & we get the pho accoutrements when we are nearly finished eating our meals. The pho is hit or miss. Sometimes the broth is perfect, most times I've been it hasn't been cooked long enough & has a slightly watery taste. It lacks consistency. The bun bo hue lacks lemongrass flavor & spice.
The restaurant has a lot going for them, but they need to step up their game with the front of house service.
This new Vietnamese joint is a blessing. Portions are larger than expected for its prices; $15 lunch special with pho & large imperial roll is unbeatable in Montreal. They make their own cakes, carrot one was one of the best I've ever had. I'm a regular now.
Great flavor. Simple, nice presentation. Friendly staff. I had a combo meal; the freshly fried imperial roll was flavorful & perfectly prepared, the shrimp & beef of the bun vermicelli were nicely grilled, & the mini pho was a highlight. The meal exceeded our expectations!
