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.
It might be a family owned restaurant BUT the food went down so much! When the two sisters were on their own it was great but since the brother (or maybe cousin) is there, it has become quite bad. The food quality is very poor. Even the lettuce is pale yellow with brown ends. The Nuoc man sauce is mostly water & sugar. Same with the peanut sauce. The meat is extremely greasy. I will never go back there. Sad.
J'y vais mangé ce midi, qu'est ce que c'était bon! & les gérants très sympas!
Ça ne paye pas de mine mais ça vaut clairement le détour ! Si j'habitais a Montréal j'y retournerai pour sûr !
Family-owned restaurant, right in the heart of Chinatown. We've been eating their pho for years now & it's still excellent (especially their grilled chicken pho).
Although the place looks kinda old, the service makes up in niceness & efficiency. You'll be in for a good meal for a very reasonable price. Recommended!
This is a very solid pho place in Chinatown. Decently priced, good fast service. The pho is amazing & the combos are also great if you want both pho & a meal. Go to spot for comfy pho when it is pretty bad outside!
The pho is very generous & tasty 100% recommend it but what truly made the experience special was Hannah (Or Anna) she is truly a spectacular hostess & treated us like family I can't stress more how everyone should give this Gem a try. Definitely will come back!
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
After having traveled to 30+ countries, this place remains my favorite pho restaurant in the world ex-Vietnam. Have been here since 2011 (shoutout Yang), & despite that I don't live in Montreal anymore, I keep going here at every single of my visits to the 514. My order is always the same, #5 XL ✌?🍜🍲
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. 😊

Phenomenal Pho, the XL is the way to go, delicious broth, a nice clean well serviced restaurant. The service is great, very nice people & a definite place to go in Chinatown!
A very old Vietnam restaurant, serve for very traditional & delicious Vietnam noodles. Which is also my friend's memory, remind him of the university time more than 20 years ago.
