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.
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
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!
Just discovered this hidden gem; delicious home cooked nourishing, YUM!!! Generous portions, very affordable. & I got to re-experience the party in my mouth the following day with leftovers for lunch💕
It is run by a mom & 2 sisters Anni & Thy. Thy is a pastry chef, every week (around Tues, Wednesday?) she comes up with a new dessert of the week. She made a fabulous looking carrot cake for Valentine's Day that I was so excited to try..it must have been delicious because after a flavor explosion of
2. g?i cu?n tôm gà rau (shrimp & chicken spring rolls),
3. G?i khô Bò (papaya salad with beef)
4. tôm l?n b?t (shrimp tempura)
12.Ph? Bò Tái rau, (rare beef noodle soup with veggies) 😝🤪💕, I left the room for 2 minutes, come back to find that my 6year old & hubby had devoured the entire cake & I didn't get to taste🙃 Now I must go back every week until Thy decides to make that carrot cake again😅 I look forward to tasting all the other sweet creations in between! Thank you for nourishing us Ph? Anni!!

Today my friends & I had dinner here & we were a big group of eight people. It is the middle of the week. All of us enjoyed our food. This is the third time I've been back to this place. Each time I tried a different dish. I had the shrimp Letter H on the menu. This place is clean. The service is very good & the waiters are friendly. I would recommend this place for good value & good food.
3 of us shared combo f & combo g. We had fried chicken dumplings & shrimp spring rolls as well. All the food was delicious & portions are huge! The pho soup (mini was part of combo) was the best we've ever had & next visit I'm ordering a full sized one! Finished off with the most yummy Vietnamese iced coffee! Friendly service as well.
Stumbled upon this place during a trip. Atmosphere was just typical, nothing fancy . Clean enough. I ordered lunch special combo pho with imperial roll. The roll was good, nice & crispy & good filling. The dipping sauce that came with it was just ok. Pho: meat was tender, taste of it overall was good. The only thing is the broth is a bit oily for what I'm used to. The shrimp crispy noodle with veggie was good. If you're hungry for some quick & good food, not care about ambiance , then this could be something of your liking.
This is the best Pho restaurant in the west end. The soup broth has a wonderful aroma & a savoury, beefy flavour. The meat was cooked perfectly & the side dish of the shrimp spring roll with the peanut sauce was fresh & complemented the pho nicely. Definitely will be a regular here.
