Pho Lien

Pho Lien remains a classic Côte-des-Neiges institution since I was a kid living in Montréal many years ago. The staff here are incredibly nice, & the overall service is fast & good. The food consistently delivers on flavour & portion size. A lot of meat & they are considerate of senior's needs. However, the dining experience could use a few minor improvements when it comes to basic table setup. During my visit, several essential items were missing from the table, including dipping saucers, napkins, automatic water, & even the lid for the phin coffee filter. Strictly cash-only...mabe hiding from the taxmen? Just hope 100% of tips go to their hard-working staff. Overall, highly recommended.

Best pho I've had anywhere in the world (including Vietnam). Definitely a place to go for any meal on a cold day, but great during the summer as well. All the soups are similar, just with different toppings. They also serve dishes as well if that's what you're looking for.

The staff are very friendly & serve food quickly & efficiently. The soup sizes are great, & very cheap for a meal in Montreal. They also can give extra bowls as well as fresh chillies if requested. One thing to remember is that it is CASH ONLY (they do have an ATM).

The reason only con for atmosphere is depending on where you are seated, sometimes cold air rushes in when people enter/exit in the winter (which is pretty often), but the smell as you walk in makes you instantly crave pho.

The best pho in mtl. Even though I'm mostly vegan, I often make the exception at this restaurant & get the rare beef & extra veggies when just veggies won't cut it on those days. These are the rare times (pun unintended) i eat red meat. Just don't try to show up on a tuesday because they're closed
2026: I had the weekend special soup that has a spicy broth, beef & pork & round slurpy noodles & I really enjoyed it. The place has been renovated to look more modern & the service is really human, polite & chill
I got the large veggie pho but I think it's enough to get the S/M because they give a lot of broth if you get the large but not more of the other stuff. Good soup :)
I came back & got the L chicken pho & it tasted great but I found it has so many noodles & not much chicken or broth.. I don't think more broth than the small, just more noodles. If you're hoping to get more broth instead of noodles, it's best to ask for it when placing your order. It's kind of annoying that they struggle to get the ratio right or stay consistent so you know what to expect lol. This day I wanted broth so I got large because the last time they gave a lot of broth for large.. I don't know why they changed, haha

The best pho around. I have always loved it, the broth is so delicious & everything is fresh. Lately I have been eating there more often since a loved one is staying at the nearby hospital. They treated us so well when we stopped in to pick up food, I felt like they not only were providing food, but they knew they were giving people a moment of comfort.

Favourite pho place! Even after moving to Ontario, every time I visit Quebec I come here. I especially love the dessert. Always have to get more!🥰
