Pho Bac se concentre sur la préparation de soupes vietnamiennes authentiques et de bols de nouilles de riz traditionnels. Le menu met en valeur des bouillons d os de bœuf et de poulet mijotés lentement avec de l anis étoilé, de la cannelle et du gingembre. Les clients personnalisent leurs bols avec des pousses de soja fraîches, du basilic thaï, des tranches de piment jalapeno et des quartiers de citron vert fournis à chaque table. Au-delà des soupes de nouilles emblématiques, l offre comprend des rouleaux de printemps croustillants et des assiettes de vermicelles à la viande grillée servis avec une sauce de poisson relevée. L aménagement intérieur privilégie une approche fonctionnelle conçue pour le service rapide de plats chauds. Les tables en acier inoxydable et les assises minimalistes soulignent la nature pragmatique de l expérience culinaire proposée aux clients.
Pho Bac est largement considéré comme une institution du quartier chinois pour sa cuisine vietnamienne traditionnelle, authentique et réconfortante, de nombreux clients louant la richesse du bouillon et la générosité des portions. Le restaurant est souvent apprécié pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et familiale ainsi que pour son service rapide et efficace, ce qui en fait une destination prisée des habitués comme des voyageurs. Bien que la nourriture soit régulièrement mise en avant pour sa qualité, certains clients ont exprimé des préoccupations concernant l'entretien des lieux, notamment en raison d'odeurs désagréables et d'un décor vieillissant. Malgré quelques expériences de service inégales et des avis partagés sur l'évolution de la qualité des plats, la majorité des visiteurs apprécient cet établissement pour son excellent rapport qualité-prix, ses soupes savoureuses et son accueil authentique.
My family have enjoyed Vietnamese cuisine across a number of US cities. Our favorite has always been bowls of hot, steaming pho. While visiting MTL, we stopped in & Pho Bac 97 truly serbes the best pho we've ever had. The pho broth comes from hours of simmering beef bones -- the old fashioned time-honored method to make the best stock. It has a depth & unctiousness which no one else's pho stock every had. Stop by & treat yourself to our gold standard of pho at Pho Bac 97.
Today I ordered grilled chicken RICE bowl & I even re-confirmed with the cashier lady that I'm ordering grilled chicken'RICE' bowl, the cashier lady said.. yes okay. It was a take out.. so when I came home & opened my food, they gave me GRILLED CHICKEN NOODLES BOWL. I'm soo upset, I didn't get what I originally ordered & paid for! 0 zero they don't carefully listen to customers when ordering!
service was so excellent we were seated promptly & there was hot tea on the table. i got the beef vermicelli bowl & the beef was very tender & well seasoned. overall great experience! duck in from the snow & get some great hot food

Pho Bac 97 has always been one of my favorite spots whenever I visit Montreal. It is right in Chinatown, which made it really easy to get to since our hotel was only a few minutes away.
The people here are honestly the best part. The owner, the male staff, & Hannah were so sweet & welcoming. They made us feel at home right away & it's clear they can connect with anyone because they switch so easily between English, French, Vietnamese, Chinese, & probably even more languages. That kind of warmth really makes a difference.
We ordered two Pho Dac Biet XL bowls & one Bi Cuon roll, & with taxes & tip it came to around $50 for the two of us. The food was comforting, flavorful, & authentic. As someone who is part Vietnamese, I really appreciate when a restaurant captures those traditional flavors, & this one absolutely does. At the end they even gave us fortune cookies, which was such a simple but thoughtful little touch.
I'll be honest, there is a strong smell around the bathroom area that can be a bit distracting, maybe from the age of the building or cleaning issues, but it didn't take away from how kindly we were treated.
I still want to give five stars because this place feels special to me & the staff treat you like family. Thank you again for such a lovely experience. Sending love from Candy & family from Toronto. 😋🍜
Eating there is now a depressing experience. The old team is still there holding the fort. The decor needs major love. The bowl sizes have shrunk & the meat got dry, business is booming regardless, but I've lost hope.
Places like these show that a good bowl of pho can't be found in c-town anymore.
I ordered a small bowl but it was more than enough to fill me up. They served me tea at the beginning, which was really nice & comforting. The service was friendly, & overall I had a pleasant experience. The only thing I'd mention is that the side salad seemed a bit carelessly presented, but everything else was great.
I grew up going to an incredible authentic Vietnamese place called Pho Barclay, when I was 15 they closed shop & moved away. For almost 6 year I have been looking for a bowl of Pho which compares to their level of excellence. Pho Bac has done it, what an outstanding bowl of pho accompanied by such a lively & familiar feeling atmosphere of tight seating & rich smells coming from the kitchen. If I had one night in Montréal City, this is where I would have dinner 100 out of 100 times over.
Authentic pho 100%. I'm from the west coast, visited in 2019, had a bowl that made me want to come back for round two. Finally got a chance to visit in Oct 2024. Unlike most places, the broth here is hearty & not overly salty, the meat is tender, & the proportions are extremely generous. An XL bowl size is a good amount of food to share with someone. Hai, one of the people who work there, actually remembered me from five years ago. We had a good chat before we left. I'm writing this review from Vancouver because I'm hungry & thinking about Pho Bac. I can't wait to go back. This is the place for pho. It's just incredible.
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.
