Pho Bac est décrit comme un spot de pho incontournable à Montréal, avec un bouillon savoureux, des portions généreuses et un service rapide et chaleureux à des prix raisonnables. Les avis saluent une nourriture réconfortante et des options variées, notamment des bowls XL et des plats vietnamiens authentiques, servis dans une ambiance conviviale qui reste populaire malgré une décoration datée. Cependant une odeur persistante rappelant l'urine ou les égouts et des questions d'hygiène reviennent dans plusieurs commentaires et peuvent rendre l'accueil moins agréable. Le service est parfois fluide et sympathique, parfois perçu comme moins attentif lors des périodes de forte affluence. Globalement Pho Bac est souvent mentionné comme l'un des meilleurs pho de la ville par les clients fidèles, même si l'aspect olfactif et l'entretien du lieu restent des points à améliorer.
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
It was not the greatest in my opinion, the beef was very chewy. But the tea that they gave me was very nice. I sat there for around an hour & played some chess on my mobile phone.
the food was around 16-19 dollars I think.
6.7/10 for me. I would love to have some garlic chili vinegar in it next time.

Definitely would recommend this place if you're in downtown montreal. Food was fantastic, quick service, & very nice people. Came here during a hockey tournament & half the team came by & the workers were so happy. Did not get the lady's name but she was so amazing & nice. 😊
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.
Great flavour broth, not salty, just right.
Friendly, quick service, third time here.
Got the medium Chicken Pho this time.
Complimentary tea every time.
Way better than pho bang new york across the street.

Restaurant with around 30 tables on bld. St Laurent since 27 years. The little details count to maintain a loyal & satisfied clientele in these crisis times, knowing that I have tried ALL the tonkinoise restaurants in St Laurent (in the surroundings of the quartier chinois) & this is my prefered spot. There is also a big variety of other Vietnamese dishes. This is one of the rare places that includes tea, which is more than enough for one person. It can be repeated as needed. But also each table has its own napkin dispenser, without being stingy & having to ask for another one every time, as is the habit everywhere in these days of economic restrictions. & since the specialty is tonkinoise & my favorite dish (a medium beef is $16), it is abundant, tasty & well seasoned bouillon. With large portions of meat, dressings, according to specialty, in a pleasant, bright & clean place. By now, the parking spots are very rare, for the street reparations. I have always been lucky because the waiters have been diligents, helpful & available. For all this, I return every time I visit Old Montreal... !
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.
Tight little restaurant. Very nice people. I went for take out & the lady told me to "sit my bum" then she poured me a pot of tea to warm me up she said. So kind. The food was alright too! So I went back the second night. Take what out of this. I'll be going back tomorrow for some more beef soup.
I went there over a friend's recommendation. What a horrible mistake that was. The food is below par. The Restaurant is incredibly dirty, wet floors are covered in cardboard & you can "feel" the scam like nature of the restaurant. It's shady & ugly. Only recommended for people who are currently taking penicillin or for the biggest cheapskate you know. Dirt cheap dirty restaurant.
