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.

Très bon Pho, juste à point. Le bouillon est excellent. Le service est très amical & souriant, la serveuse a su répondre aux exigences de ses clients. nouveau resto & même la sauce Hoisin est neuf: le plastic y reste encore mais on comprend que ça commence! avec le Banh Mi on reçoit un bubble tea gratuit pour l'ouverture. L'ambiance est petite mais bon pour une espace au Chinatown ! On en demande pas trop! bonne continuation !

Their Banh Mí is a must try! I tried their grilled chicken Banh Mí & they did not skip out on any of the ingredients. It was PACKED with flavours & meat & if you can handle the spice, try going for the spicy option as they have a complimentary bubble tea with every Banh Mí. It's a great place to try out good Vietnamese food in the city of Montreal.

Un vrai restaurant vietnamien. Le seul je crois à servir du piment rouge frais par défaut, comme il se doit contrairement aux autres restaurants de Pho de la rue. Les phos sont parfaits en quantité & en goût!
