Pho Bang New York est largement considéré comme une véritable institution du quartier chinois de Montréal, régulièrement salué pour sa cuisine vietnamienne authentique, fraîche et savoureuse, notamment pour son vaste choix de soupes phô et d'assiettes grillées. De nombreux clients apprécient la générosité des portions et les prix abordables, faisant souvent de cet établissement une destination de choix pour une cuisine réconfortante. Bien que le service soit fréquemment décrit comme rapide et efficace, les expériences peuvent varier, certains clients rapportant des interactions brusques ou des politiques rigides concernant le partage des repas et le pourboire. Les visiteurs doivent garder à l'esprit que le restaurant n'accepte que l'argent comptant et qu'il est souvent bondé, ce qui nécessite parfois de la patience pour profiter d'une expérience culinaire animée et sans prétention.
The food is fresh & delicious, but the service was terrible. The staff were rude & made the experience uncomfortable. What bothered me the most was being pressured to pay a tip of over 15% in a cash-only restaurant.
I recently visited this establishment & had an extremely unpleasant experience regarding their tipping practices. After paying at the counter, I left a $1 tip, which is a standard courtesy for counter service. Shockingly, the staff member followed me to my table, returned the money, & explicitly told me that a'dollar is too cheap.'
This level of tip-shaming & aggressive entitlement is completely unacceptable. It is deeply disappointing to experience this kind of unprofessional behavior, which not only ruins the reputation of this specific restaurant but also leaves a terrible impression of the hospitality culture in Quebec & Canada as a whole. Harassing a customer over a voluntary counter tip is simply pathetic. I will not be returning, & I strongly advise others to be aware of this attitude before visiting.
Your typical Asian restaurant in the heart of china town in Montreal. Very reasonable prices. They serve you green tea on arrival, which is a welcomed gesture in the cold winter of MTL. Be careful, it's cash only . They do have an ATM inside the restaurant though.
We've been waiting in line for a long time, the two of us. & when the next table became available, they sited 4 people who were way behind us. 10-15 minutes later another table became available vand they did exactly the same thing - sitter another group of four instead of 2 & 2 or 2 & 1 which were planty including us & people behind. I understand when they have only 2 sits available & they let 2 people going ahead of others but not the other way around. I'm very disappointed.
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.
The busboy guy with the savage tatoo on right hand has the attitude ultra aggressive & violent, he is definitely low educated, low mental & high probability of Psycho sign:
He had yelled in midle resto'I CLEAN HERE!' when customers would like to seat at certain table.
This guy must be chased off from this resto immediately.
This resto is reputable of a lot of aggressive s waiters & busboys, & a lot of these complaints have been just ignored .
The foods are so much salty & causing danger to kidneys.
Terrible experience, 1st: they only accept cash. 2nd: they don't give you a receipt. 3rd: There's an atm machine charging fees for the withdrawal.
I asked the cashier to add a $2 tip on the bill for a total of $33.5. But then the waiter came again with the tray yelling at me asking for 5 dollars more in tips, as I didn't have a receipt I couldn't show him, so I left $2.50 more & not the 5 he was asking for, I had him on my back yelling things at me & he didn't believe me I had left a tip already... so in total they wanted to force me pay $7.50 in tips! Never coming back to this restaurant, it's overcrowded & food is also average
