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.
The food was super super delicious & healthy & light. Loved everything about the place. The coziness, the cleanliness, the deliciousness & the prices. Just make sure you have your money on you because they only take cash. Would definitely go back soon!

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.
Bon choix de plats, ingrédients frais. La qualité est la même depuis plusieurs années, ce qui est un excellent point. La rapidité du service est variable selon le moment de la journée & l'achalandage, mais le personnel y travaille fort.
Food was okay but the waiter was not doing any customer service & just gave us our food. Our waiter probably didn't give us good service because we had ethnically mixed group.They also demanded a tip on top of the bad service & didn't let us leave until they got the tip. They literally harassed until we gave them a tip. If you see a short Asian guy serving you ask for another waiter. Don't come anywhere near here. It's a scam.
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.
The service was quick. The Pho was delicious & very filling. The chicken was good too.
The rolls were hot too & not cold. The only inconvenience is that they don't take card. Besides that, I would recommend this place.

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.
Great pho, great price, good portions, fast service. Only reason it didn't receive 5 stars was because there was nothing extraordinarily unforgettable about the place, &, they only took cash which made things a bit annoying. Bottom line, great pho place, would come again without hesitation.
