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.
Pho Bac 97 is easily one of the best comfort food spots in Verdun. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, & relaxed. The ambiance is simple but cozy, & the whole place feels genuinely authentic & family-run in the best possible way.
The lady serving us was incredibly kind, attentive, & polite the entire time. You can tell they really care about customers & take pride in what they do. Service was also impressively fast - our food came out super quickly even though the restaurant was busy.
Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, & homemade. The broth was rich & comforting, the ingredients were fresh, & portions were generous without being overpriced. You get amazing quality for the price here, which is becoming rare these days. Very affordable & 100% worth it.
This is the kind of local restaurant you want to support because they consistently deliver good food, good service, & a great overall experience. Definitely coming back regularly. Highly recommended if you're in Verdun & craving Vietnamese food.
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.
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.
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. 😋🍜
I support for Vietnamese food as the restaurant keeps the reasonable price. They have veggie dishes if you don't eat meat. The service is quite satisfied, friendly.
A small Vietnamese restaurant located right in Chinatown. I ordered the bun bo hue. It is very authentic & tasted perfect. I highly recommended ordering this dish if you are looking for some good quality Vietnamese cuisine.
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.
