Pho Bac in Montreal's Chinatown is widely praised as a solid, reliable pho spot with flavorful broth and generous portions at a good price. Diners note fast, friendly service and a welcoming vibe, with extra attention paid to the grilled chicken pho and other menu staples, and there are veggie options as well. While the food is described as delicious and comforting, some visits are affected by a strong odor and an older looking space, and a few reviews report uneven service or disappointing moments, but the majority keep returning for the consistent quality and value. Overall, Pho Bac is a go-to place for pho in the area, especially for XL bowls and a quick, satisfying meal.
Typical viet place. Eat cheap & good. Bot going there for the views... you there to eat well & not expensive at all. Service is fast & refills nicely. Nothing fancy but clean. Great value place & good soups & spring rolls.
Usually the pho & the Vietnamese food is not bad here & usually I would give 3 stars... But unfortunately I found a fly on my Pho noodles in the soup! Therefore I must remove 1 star. In addition, they still ask me to pay despite I showed them the insect in my food! In addition, the price has gone up & the quantity & quality of the food is the same or worse as before, so I will stop coming.
Les employés étaient très accueillant. On est venue commander pour 2 soupes pour emporter une moyenne & une x large. On a eu 2 de la même grosseur & vraiment pas beaucoup de viande....pour 45$ c'était que des nouilles...
J'étais un habitué de ce resto qui était à proximité de mon travail où on y sert des soupes pho. Malheureusement la qualité de la nourriture a diminué. Le bouilon est moins parfumé & trop salé.
Excellente soupe tonkinoise, vraiment. Mais comme plusieurs l'ont mentionné, il y a une forte odeur d'urine dans le restaurant, & ça rend très difficile de bien apprécier la nourriture. Sans cette odeur nauséabonde, ce serait assurément un 5 étoiles. Excellent rapport qualité-prix pour la nourriture.
Pho Bac has great & delicious menu with a great front desk who are extremely cheerful & happy. Prices are quite good for Pho & soup tastes quite authentic with loads of meat. Great experience.

First time been here & first time trying North Pho noodle. I was not sure if it was the exact taste of North Pho, so gave it a try, the soup was not salted, not too much flavor compared to other Pho I tried. It was ok. Fast service. I ordered a Special Pho (M size) & 1 combo of beef pho + 1 spring roll. I paid cash & was charged without tax, of course I tipped. The price was pretty not bad. Would recommend.
Food was fantastic. Very authentic. They had a few employees who spike English so no issue with communication. Cost with tip was CAD 69 for two pho bowls, a shrimp vermicelli bowl & a pork vermicelli bowl. They have gluten free choices but it's mostly limited to pho or the soup options.
I ate many Pho & Vietnamese food of many different stores. but this store , Pho tasted plain. The portion of beef compared with other store didn't good amount. Too much soup & lack of toppings: noodles, meat.
