PHO Jean-Talon

Authentic Vietnamese dishes with slight Canadian twist. Entrance is a bit difficult to find. Credit card is accepted.

The pho *is* in fact phonomenal! Among the best I've had & I've had many of the best of Seoul & even Hanoi. Pho is great, but their Bun Bo Hue is also exceptional. The wait staff is so friendly & helpful. It is a hidden gem you should NOT miss if you like Vietnamese.

Second time eating here: previously enjoyed their pho & this time we had grilled beef & pork over vermicelli. The food is good, the service was a bit unequal. The young man who first served us did not do much of a follow-up once the food was served. Water glasses remained empty for quite a while, & when we were clearly finished & just waiting, we had to finally signal to the woman server in order to get doggy bags. Watch out for the additional fee if you want to take home any food you don't finish! Although I rarely experience this at other restaurants, here they charge $1.50 per person to take home any leftovers. I don't mind paying a small charge to over the cost of the take-home box, but $1.50 felt excessive. I checked at Costco & the take-home containers cost $.25 a piece. It's a bit cheeky to make a profit off of the doggy bags when already the prices are a bit higher than other Vietnamese restaurants of similar quality in the neighborhood. I'd hesitate before going back since there are so many other options for good Vietnamese food in the neighborhood, & without the additional fees...

We had a group of 16 visiting Montreal. We visited the Jean-Talon market & wanted some good homecooked Vietnamese food. My husband's cousin lives in Montreal & said he wanted to try Pho Jean-Talon. So, off we went! The owners welcomed our group & was able to seat us quickly. The owners are very friendly & answered our questions about the menu. The group had various dietary restrictions (vegetarian, do not eat beef, do not eat cilantro) & the owners were able to accommodate each request without any issues. We ordered the spring rolls, fried wontons, pho filet mignon, pho dac biet, bun bo hue (spicy soup with beef shank), & pho rau cai dau hu (vegetarian fried tofu & vegetable soup). The portion size for each dish is very generous. The food was delicious. Everyone finished their meals & gave a thumbs up. It is not always easy to satisfy everyone in a big group. I ordered the bun bo hue (spicy soup with beef shank) & the soup delivered on the spice level & flavor. I do not like cilantro. The owner made sure it was omitted from my dish. It was the perfect meal for a rainy day. If you are in the area, go to Pho Jean-Talon restaurant. You will not be disappointed. The restaurant has a card that will give you a free bowl of pho for every 10 bowls you purchase. This is a bonus. We will dine at this restaurant when we visit my husband's cousin again.

I am so glad I tried Pho Jean-Talon a few months ago, since then it is my go to Vietnamese place in Montréal. No other place has compared! Food is hot, fresh & delicious every time. The portions & prices are great & the staff is always friendly. This is my go to take out place. Merci Pho Jean-Talon you're the best :)
