Review Summary

Pho Cristal MTL is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Chinatown, consistently praised for serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine such as high quality pho, flavorful bun bo hue, and what many describe as the best banh mi in the city. Visitors frequently highlight the fresh bread, generous portion sizes, and competitive pricing as major draws for both locals and travelers alike. The establishment is noted for its cozy, intimate atmosphere and welcoming, hardworking staff who provide efficient and friendly service. While the vast majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive, citing the restaurant as a go to comfort food spot, a small minority of patrons have reported occasional inconsistencies with specific dishes or service pacing. Overall, it remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking a delicious, traditional, and affordable Vietnamese dining experience.

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

If you leave 5 stars, you get a free drink!

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
