One of the Best Ph? Experiences in Montreal Chinatown
Pho Bang New York never disappoints. I ordered the ph? ??c bi?t (large), & it was outstanding from the first sip to the last bite.
The broth is crystal clear, deeply aromatic, & perfectly balanced-rich without being heavy. The bowl was generously loaded with a variety of tender beef cuts, silky rice noodles, & topped with fresh onions, cilantro, & green onions. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & prepared with care. The large size is truly satisfying & great value for the price.
Served piping hot with a fresh plate of basil & bean sprouts, the ph? arrived quickly despite the restaurant being busy. Service was efficient & professional, exactly what you want when you're craving real Vietnamese comfort food.
If you're in Montreal's Chinatown & want authentic, no-frills, high-quality ph?, this is the place. The ph? ??c bi?t l?n here is a must-order.
Highly recommended.
The critics are haters.
Pho had the best ratio of beef/noodles/broth I've had at any pho restaurant that's well known in toronto/abroad.
Broth was delicious & service was fast, efficient & they checked on me even though it was busy. & a solid tea in the pot 👌 handily 5 stars.
Best pho in the city! Good & fast service. Servers are kind, quick, & helpful. Their pho with grilled chicken is too good. Chicken is grilled to perfect, so flavorful & soft. Veggie spring rolls are also really good. I loved their grilled beef & chicken with rice & salad. The quality is always the same & they never miss! Highly recommend if you're looking best pho in the city.
Tried their No.1 signature raw beef & tripe pho with beef balls - absolutely spot on. The dry pho with marinated beef is also a must-try, packed with flavor. This place is always busy (which is a good sign!) & it's cash only, so come prepared.
The taste is authentic & satisfying, but the service could be friendlier. Still, for the quality of the food, it's worth a visit if you're in Montreal's Chinatown.
Walked in, held up fingers for how many in our party, & we were seated right away. Tables are two-tops pushed together depending on group size-efficient, no-nonsense setup.
The beef in the pho was excellent-tender, well-cooked-but the broth was forgettable. Not bad, just didn't stand out. My son's chicken & rice plate was clean & filling, but so neutral it could've come from half a dozen different places. No standout seasoning, no distinct flavor.
Cash only, but they did take U.S. dollars & even gave a small discount-so that was a pleasant surprise.
Fast service, decent prices, no big complaints-but nothing special either. If you're nearby & hungry, it'll do. But if you're chasing top-tier pho in Montréal, this isn't the destination.
Slow service. The special which is suppose to have beef balls is missing. The noodle soup arrived luke warm, not enough to cook the sliced raw beef.
It ain't what it used to be… the quality of the grilled porc was extremely disappointing today!! If you decide to eat here, ('cause it's still a Montreal institution) I suggest you go for the soup with the raw beef & the spring rolls.
So far, the best Vietnamese food I had in Montreal! Their noodle grilled chicken 🍲 soup is 👌 👍. Their grilled beef + chicken +rice is a MUST try 🤪. Give it a try 👌.
Prices are fairly well.
All in all: Quality 👍, price 👍.
This is my spot & will be in my monthly to go list!
Just keep in mind: no credit card, no debit, only Cash!
I've been to Pho Bang NY 5 times in total & I'll say this, their Pho is off the charts. It's amazing when it's fresh. It has all the perfect blends of flavors & you get it right quick, which means it's piping hot, just the way I like it!
Now the last 3 times a went I wanted the spicy noodle soup, Bun Bo Hu, something I've always wanted to try. Every time I went, until yesterday, they ran out because it's a weekly special. So you can imagine how excited I was when he said they still had some.
Well let me tell you it was the exact opposite of what I would normally get.
They essentially gave me a HUGE BOWL OF TEPID BATHWATER. It was the most bland beef broth with oxtail & flank steak. There was barely any seasoning & no coriander. But the worst part is it's suppose to be SPICY NOODLE SOUP. There was no chili in it at all.
It virtually tasted like eating warm canned consume. I just can't see myself going back after getting served that. It was like they decided to serve me anything because they just wanted my business that day. Normally I'd consider it a one off thing & talk to the server about it but he just disappeared after serving us.
It's really sad because it was really a nice thing to look forward to every second week. I love Pho & now I have to find a new spot.
Delicious, delicious soup with very generous serving of tender beef!! Will return
Fresh & flavourful. Beef was delicious i the other soups we had. Imperial rolls were very good.
Great pho restaurant that isnt too expenisve & a great flavor. Highly reccomend the beef pho.
Was debating between this spot & a pub nearby. So glad we went with Pho Bang New York. Was super busy when we showed up & knew it was gonna be amazing right away. Got the grilled chicken & beef & it came in less than 15 minutes. Server was friendly & vibes were up. 10/10 recommend & would come back if i'm ever in MTL again
Best pho in town no doubt I have been coming here for more than 15 years this place existed since 1996 & have been serving the best pho prices extremely low & affordable cash only tho but you need to try their oxtail beef & shrimp soup
It was lunch time on a Sunday & craving for some authentic pho. Most of the nearby restaurants have long lineups & we traded for Pho Bang New York with no line up, & it was getting late. We ordered 2 identical medium Size rare beef Pho, nothing sophisticated & basic in order that we can get our order fast. What is basic for one is not basic for others as it took a long time to get just 2 bowls of Pho. The soup was hot but not boiling hot as I would have expected. Taste was just OK, & the amount of meat was satisfactory. I was sitting at the end table facing the kitchen entrance & I can tell you that the sight was not a good one. I can tell when hygiene is not on the top priority list. I hate to visualize how the interior kitchen would look like. We finished our lunch & went to the cashier to foot the bill & a sign " Cash Only" took me by total surprise. I do not always carry cash on me but luckily I had just enough to settle the bill. I subsequently read the reviews & crystal clear that I am not the only one caught with the Cash Only situation. This teaches me a lesson of not reading the reviews before going in a restaurant or business.
Food is always amazing. Tried all the meats (beef, chicken, pork & shrimp) & loved all of them. The noodles are also very good. You don't come here for the atmosphere but for the amazing food. I have to admin that at least, they try to have a good atmosphere but this place is always full. Can't wait to come back!
I used to come here often but my recent trip was somewhat disappointing. Food came out super fast which was great. However, I found the pho broth salty & my partner's rice was overcooked (mushy). The flavour of the lemongrass beef was amazing though & the imperial rolls were good too. We had to signal several times for water & cutlery & got a hand dismissing us at one point. If you're in the area & want good Vietnamese I would come here but do not go out of your way when there are so many other places around the city.
Came here multiple times to eat! Very great place for phõ, one of the best in the city. I always order the #9, rare beef & tripe. Although the soup is delicious, the service isn't the best. We waited around 20 mins for our water & my friend never got his soda. Overall, it's a great place for delicious phõ!
I am from NYC & love this restaurant. More importantly, my kids love this restaurant. This restaurant introduced my kids to Vietnamese food. We went two years in a row. I had #15 Grilled beef, my son #14 Beef & Chicken, my wife the Pho, daughter noodles & broth. All was good.
