Pho Bang New York est un repère animé du quartier chinois où les avis soulignent régulièrement un phô frais et réconfortant, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables; le bouillon est souvent décrit comme clair, parfumé et bien équilibré, avec des viandes et des nouilles de qualité. L'ambiance est active et sans chichis, le service rapide s'accompagne parfois de commentaires sur un personnel brusque ou pressé et d'une politique cash only avec distributeur intégré. De nombreux clients le présentent comme une valeur sûre et une cuisine vietnamienne authentique, avec des plats du week-end et des classiques sans fioritures qui restent fiables. L'espace est parfois étroit et la déco simple, mais l'expérience globale est satisfaisante malgré quelques soucis de service.
Went to the first Pho Bang in NYC which has been open for decades now. Now it's expanding to Montreal. Quality has decreased slightly but overall good. Priced has increased quite a bit.
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.

We choose pho for dinner. It was so good. The broth rich but not too bold suitable with the spices..i will recommend if the weather cold that would be perfect 😄✌️
Nous avons retrouvé les saveurs de notre voyage au Vietnam 😍 Adresse à retenir ! Cependant paiement uniquement par cash, si besoin il y a un ATM dans le resto 🙂
We didnt get our order right, missing items. Had to ask mumtiple times for ingredients, we were moved to a different table in the middle of our visit. Only accepts cash
My family & I have been regulars at this restaurant for years, always leaving a decent tip & never encountering any issues. However, today it was bad. We were seated by a bearded waiter, as usual, & ordered both dine-in & take-out meals. After enjoying our food, we headed to the counter only to realize we were $1 short, + tip. Since the ATM was broken during our last visit, we assumed it still was. The lady at the cash register didn't speak to us, just stared rudely & pointed at the total. We tried to explain that we were short by a dollar, she only uttered a few incomprehensible words & gave us a cold look. Then, a waiter from our table approached us & bluntly said, "Total & plus tip" in a rude manner. It seemed like he didn't understand that we were already trying to figure that out. To make matters worse, I heard him talking about us to the other waiters, which was embarrassing given how frequently we dine there & how polite we always are. Fortunately, the ATM wasn't broken this time, so we withdrew $20 & got change for the tip. Despite this, one of the waiters continued to glare at us angrily. Initially, we left a $4 tip but decided to reduce it to $2 due to the poor customer service & lack of communication. At this point, the waiter told me, "Next time, $2 more tip or don't come back," in an aggressive tone. I asked him to calm down, but he kept following us toward the exit. It was an uncomfortable & strange experience. While this restaurant was once a favorite, the unprofessional & rude behavior from the staff means we won't be returning.
It was a cool October Montreal day & we wanted some Pho to warm us up after several hours of sight seeing. The menu had great selection but 3 of us ordered the #1 (special Pho) & the 4th ordered the #42 (shrimp & vegetable Pho). It was super busy & lined up around lunch but tables turn over quickly & we were seated after about 15 mins. The Pho was pretty average. However the service was a bit below par. One of our group wanted a fork & we had to ask no less than 4 times for one. Also, we wanted a tea pot refill & they took away the pot but never returned it until we skied them twice. Pricing was fair for what you got with most dishes around $15. Note they only accept cash so make sure you bring $ or you can always use the ATM next to the till for an exorbitant fee 😆

It's my favorite pho place in Montreal! The price is so worth it & delicious!! They give a lot of meat as well! I've come here for over 10 years, & it never disappoints. My only disappointment, however, is due to a young staff that has no manners. I don't particularly mind the person not having steady hands to put the bowls down on the table, but they didn't even apologized when they spilled all over my relative's phone. My family & I were served by this young staff for the past 4 visits this year & the behavior only got worse... Being clumsy is one thing, but surely apologizing should be something everyone should do when they make an evident mistake... at the very least, I hope I get served by the older waiters because of this. Take note that they only accept cash here. If you don't have cash, there is an ATM in the restaurant.
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!

They only accept cash, which they don't tell you until you go up to pay. Seriously, who doesn't take cards in 2024? Of course, they have their own no-name ATM right next to the register where you can take out said cash for a service fee of $2.69 (on top of what your own bank charges). The food was pretty good & the service was fast, but in the end I came away feeling like I'd been slightly scammed.
Excellent restaurant Viet-Namien dans le quartier chinois de Montréal. La soupe est la meilleure a mon avis. Le bouillon est riche & rempli de saveur. Les prix sont abordables. J'y vais souvent & je retournerai c'est sûr.
