Overall, Pho Cristal MTL is seen as a reliable affordable option for tasty, comforting Vietnamese fare with strong banh mi and pho that encourage return visits.
Excellent spot with great Pho, rice noodles are gluten free for all soups. Banh Mi was excellent,my friend got 2! The spicy level was great, & the chili was actually spicy (unlike most other spots nearby). The Ban Bo Hue was delicious with a lot of meat. Service was a bit slow but food came quickly.
Small space, but the bahn mi is terrific & me & my friends got the bahn mi jambon deal two days in a row. The pho was also great & would recommend for anyone looking for affordable & authentic Vietnamese food
Anyway, this place is a small little shop in a corner in chinatown & serves some nice hot pho on a snowy day (if it's cold out for you when you visit).
Food was okay! Decent but not mind blowing, standard for what you'd find. Staff is alright, more or less friendly, but the area can be a bit small & crammed. That's fine!
Amazing!!!! We ordered pho tai, pho tai nam & sandwich number 9 to share & all of those were incredible. The broth was super delicious, good amount of meet, we preferred size large & it was very good since we algo had half of the sandwich each.
We paid $42 total!!
They are so nice also.
We will definitely go back to try more things.
Couldn't take a picture because I was so hungry that I forgot! Haha
Delicious pho. Our server was very sweet & attentive. They provide complementary tea & fortune cookies. We took a sandwich to go. Great value overall! Also, the old reviews saying they only accept cash are no longer correct. I paid using credit card with no problem.
Ce soir, j' ai mangé Cristal Pho Spécial , c' était délicieux, un sandwich Banh Mi ( notre ami Nana) au boeuf avec un smoothie aux 🥑🥑 avocat étaient super Bons. Un sandwich jambon Banh Mi coûte seulement $ 6,49 + TX..... vraiment pas cher & tellement délicieux. Excellent service & les propriétaires sont très Gentils & généreux. C' est à recommander & ça vaut le déplacement.
