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.

Je viens manger ici quelque fois par mois, & c'est toujours un délice! Le riz à la vapeur, avec la viande & leur fameux rouleau c'est un plat incontournable de montréal! Pour le prix de 13$ les portions sont plus que généreuse. Je reviendrais c'est certain!

I'm incredibly sentimental about this place as I used to come here as a student in 2003-4. I still order the same thing & it's still fab (Bun sa or number #41). Best spring rolls ever. Unpretentious & hope it stays that way.

Je vais dans ce restaurant depuis plus de 20 ans à chacune de mes visites à Montréal. C'est LA meilleure place pour la soupe-repas & les rouleaux impériaux !

Nous sommes des habitués depuis presque de 30 ans. Nourriture toujours aussi bonne. Le neveu a repris la business suite à la retraite des propriétaires initiaux. Il a su consever & même améliorer le goût tipique des mets vietnamiens. Nous avons commander des combos. La soupe d'entrée est copieuse & délicieuse. On y retournera. 🥢🍜

Très déçu, cela fesait plusieurs années que je n'y étais pas allé & la qualité a beaucoup descendu , mon rouleau impériaux était vide, juste un peu de chou, pas de viande. Comme si je mangeais que de la pâte frite. Le plat était correct mais 18$ pour un simple plat sans à côté, le midi, je trouve ça vraiment décevant, je n'y reviendrais pas.
