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.
I've tried them everywhere & this is the best pho joint in Montreal. The communal seating is kind of funny - you never know who you'll have lunch with lol. It is a good thing, in that if you're just one or two people, you almost never have to wait, which is surprising, since the place is always packed.
Delicious pho. In my opinion ,it's the best pho in montreal. Sometime the new workers forget some of the order ,but the experienced workers are amazing . Sadly ,its cash only but its cheap & delicious & has a atm 🏧
À mon avis, un des meilleur phô ! & les rouleau de printemps sont wow ! & les prix resonnable
Prendre notes que le paiement ne ce fais qu'en argent comptant :)
I've been to Pho Bang New York a couple of times for lunch, & it's always a satisfying stop in Chinatown.
The pho comes out quickly, the broth is flavourful, & the portions are generous enough to keep you full for the rest of the afternoon. Service is efficient even when the restaurant is busy, & the menu has plenty of classic options to choose from. A reliable place for a warm, comforting bowl of pho in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown.
LE meilleur Pho de Montréal sans hésitation! J'ai grandi en allant à ce restaurant & je ne prévois pas arrêter sous peu. La soupe est délicieuse, les saveurs sont riches & le restaurant est simplement réconfortant. Pour le prix plus qu'abordable, je ne pourrais demander mieux!
A classic for Pho. Strongly recommend. Quick service so even if there is lineup, it goes quick.
It gets really busy.
I had a very bad experience here. The service is terrible, well I should say the Boss is terrible. I have had already dinner actually, but we love the Pho, so my son & me went to order one extra large pho for share. After the Pho come on table, I request another bowl so that we can share. Then the waiter (we know at last he is the boss) said that he did not like we share one bowl of Pho. He rejected to bring us another bowl. & furtherly, the restaurant doesn't accept the bank card, they accept only cash. The boss is susceptible to not pay the tax to government that we have paied. maybe I should report this .
1. Pho with bleach like smell.
2. When we ask waiter for some bowls for the kids, he rolled his eyes & said'3 bowls ? we don't have that many'. Attitude are rude & unhelpful. Gave us a very bad impression at the first meal upon arrival in Montreal.
I had an outstanding meal at this pho restaurant! The broth was unbelievably rich & flavorful-comforting, aromatic, & clearly made with care. The noodles were perfectly cooked, & the portions of meat were generous & tender. Every bite tasted fresh & authentic.
Franchement le meilleur pho que j'ai mangé !! J'ai pris la portion large qui était très bien, je pense la prochaine fois, je me laisserai t'en par la version extra large tellement les prix sont raisonnables.
Le bouillon est très bon, le meilleur que j'ai mangé, ce qui permet de sublimer le reste.
Attention, ils ne prennent que argent comptant 🤷🏻.
Prévoyez la monnaie.
Coming from Toronto I was searching for a good pho shop on a cold day. But ordering their pho dac biet had no flavour at all. Lack seasoning for sure. I had high hopes from the reviews. Also note it is CASH ONLY
Pho (grilled chicken & veggies) was really great & waiting time almost none. Next time i'll go for a X-Large for sure !
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.
Went here after a night out. Had to wait a little because it gets soo packed but the service was great & the food came on time. Would've liked the pho spicier as said in the menu but it was alright.
Yesterday, after a 4+ hour event at Palais des Congrès, my two daughters & I - third-time visitors - headed to this restaurant for a quick bite. We've ordered large pho bowls before & couldn't finish them. I'd eaten late lunch, wasn't very hungry, & hate wasting food. So this time: one large bowl, one small bowl, & fresh spring rolls to share.
The older male server immediately asked:
'Are you sharing?'
I thought he was offering an extra empty bowl (standard practice elsewhere), so I said'Yes.'
His response?
'NO SHARING ALLOWED. Everyone must order their own bowl of pho.'
Excuse me? I said I'd eat the spring rolls & help my kids if they couldn't finish. My daughters - who were excited minutes earlier - instantly went quiet, faces dark. I asked:
'Do you still want to eat here?'
Silence. I grabbed my bag & we walked out.
We are PAYING CUSTOMERS. I decide how we eat. Sharing with my own children is not a crime. This isn't a prison cafeteria - it's a restaurant. In Canada. In 2025.
We crossed the street to Henan Huimian - warm service, delicious food, zero attitude. My money is spent happily there.
I told my older daughter:
'We pay for food & service. If it feels wrong, we leave. Power isn't given - it's taken.'
She asked,'Would they say this to white customers?'
I said,'No.' & she knew it was true.
This isn't about pho. It's about respect.
This isn't about portion control. It's about control.
To the owner:
If you don't want families, don't want sharing, don't want kindness - just say you only serve solo diners who pay cash & worship your overpriced broth. Close the doors. The 90s called - they want their outdated policies back.
To everyone else:
You've seen the comments.
You've felt the cold stares.
You've paid $18 for a bowl & left angry.
Stop going.
Your wallet is your vote.
We're done enabling bad service disguised as'policy.'
We had a pho soup & a chicken & rice plate. Both were delish. This place is an institution! It was great in the 1990s & still bustin' now.
