Overall, it is described as reliable authentic Vietnamese comfort food that many regulars consider their go to spot.
The food hit the spot! I ordered an extra large pho dat biet (special) & polished it off in less than 10 mins. I don't live anywhere close to a Vietnamese restaurant hence taking a chance & stopping by for a quick bite was the best decision I made this week!
So being vietnamese, pho is simply a stable in our culture. Montreal does have quite a bit of competition in terms of pho restaurants. That being said, we bought some pho for dinner expecting just another week night meal being checked off. I was proven wrong within the first slurp of their broth. Flavourful, complex & rich. I devoured my bowl within a few minutes, lifting my head every once in a while, only to attend to my basic need of breathing. This place is your quintessential family-run vietnamese restaurant. A must try if you are in the area, & like vietnamese food. We would be happy to add them as part of our restaurant routine going forward.

Went with my 7 year old daughter last weekend. Had the weekend special spicy soup with beef, vietnamese ham & pork (17$, available only on weekends). It was one of the best soups I have ever had. The beef Pho that my daughter ordered was delicious as well, but the spicy soup was the winner by a landslide. I will be back guaranteed.
It’s not 100% authentic pho, but it’s probably the best you will get here on the Montreal island. Definitely a go to pho shop, prices have gotten a bit pricey; but still worth it.
Decent food, but nice service & good viet options. The portions for the pho are a bit small. The bowl in the picture that we ordered was a large, which would normally be a medium.
Apart from that, the food did taste good. The staff were all friendly.
Worth a visit if you’re craving some Vietnamese.
My favourite Pho spot in the West Island. The soup is great, the restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is ok. Overall, highly recommended if you're in the mood for Vietnamese food.
We used to go there very often before covid. However we kind of forgot about this spot recently. Yesterday I had a craving for pho & I went by myself. I couldn’t believe how good it was! The meat was plentiful & delicious & the broth was just perfect! The service was quick & courteous! & the prices are unbeatable!!! Not to mention it is byow!!! I will definitely be back there very often!!!
My favourite place to eat Viet food in MTL !! If you’re looking to taste a new cuisine, definitely go here (p.s. all menu items are good, but definitely get the Bo La lot 😁) I love recommending this to my friends, clients & family!
