About

Pho Bac focuses on the preparation of authentic Vietnamese soups and traditional rice noodle bowls. The menu highlights slow-simmered beef and chicken bone broths infused with star anise, cinnamon, and ginger. Patrons customize their bowls with fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapenos, and lime wedges provided at every table. Beyond the signature noodle soups, the offerings include crispy spring rolls and grilled meat vermicelli plates served with pungent fish sauce. The dining environment maintains a functional, high-turnover layout designed for efficient service of hot meals. Stainless steel tables and minimalist seating emphasize the practicality of the culinary experience. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for individuals seeking classic, broth-based comfort food prepared according to established regional standards without unnecessary garnish or complex culinary embellishments.

Place assez normal! Ne vous attendez pas a un restaurant high end! Choix de menu varié pas chère & très bon. Pour un combo a 22$ c'est assez généreux.

The positive side: the food is fresh & tastes good . The service is ok. It can be cultural, but it is not welcoming that a waiter shuts you from the back where to sit. The place does not feel clean. Not dirty to avoid eating, but not enough clean to come back.

This is one of my favorite places to eat ever! I come almost every time I go to yhe city. The pho soup is so good, it's crazy. I always get the number 7, I think it's the best thing on yhe menu. If you've never had this soup, your life is incomplete. You NEED to go here & get some. Fairly cheap, massive bowls, & fast service. Even if you don't love the food, yoy can't complain about anything else, this place is literally perfect. They also serve you tea the second you sit down & it's really good. I love it so much.

Top 3 Pho in Montreal. Staff is nice & as for the atmosphere it is not a five star restaurant setting, nor should it be, but everyone in the place is happy to be there because it is top quality Pho
