Pho Bang New York is a bustling Chinatown staple where reviews consistently praise fresh, comforting pho with generous portions and affordable prices; the broth is often described as clear, aromatic, and well balanced, with beef cuts and noodles held to a high standard. The atmosphere is busy and casual, with fast service that keeps up with the crowds, though a few diners report rushed or brusque staff and a cash only policy with an on-site ATM. Many guests call it reliable and authentic Vietnamese fare, sometimes highlighting weekend specials and a strong emphasis on pho that makes it a go-to choice for repeat visits. Some notes warn that space can be tight and the decor simple, but overall the experience is solid, and the food consistently earns strong praise despite the occasional service hiccup.
We were there on a Sunday for lunch, it was crowded & very busy, the portions were actually quite large, but the taste of the food was not impressive at all & it was rather average. A very serious disadvantage is the possibility of paying only in cash. Overall - in my opinion, the place is overrated.

We loved this place a lot. Came every day during our vacation & always had a good time. Friendly & fast service, great food quality & nice prices! We really enjoyed this place. Totally recommend 👍🏽 P.s. take cash with you, they don't accept cards. (There is atm right inside the restaurant)
Our go-to Vietnamese restaurant every time in Montreal. The pho is very tasty, the spring roll is also nice & fresh!! There are 6 of us & they vacant a reserved table for us! Very nice service!!
The best pho I have ever eaten! The place is full of people but the service takes care of clients' rotation well, so there is always a chance to find a spot. Portions are big, filling, full of taste &, compared to other places, cheap. I recommend the drink with beans & coconut milk - it's simply the best! I can honestly say that's my favorite Vietnamese restaurant & will pay a visit during my next trip to Montreal!
OMG!! J'adore cet endroit ; rapide délicieux & service courtois!!! J'y vais surtout en hiver facilement deux fois par semaine tellement je suis IN LOVE avec leur soupe généreuse en goût & une portion qui te permet de sortir de cet endroit bien remplie !!! Prévoyez de l'argent liquide pour payer & les taxes sont déjà incluses alors ne pas oublier le pourboire!! 😉✨ Bon appétit à vous & merci à Pho bang New York pour votre constance face à la qualité de votre nourriture!! 🙏✨
