Pho Lien is a Vietnamese restaurant that offers great quality food for the whole family at an affordable price. The menu features lots of soups, some noodle-based dishes, spring rolls and grilled mains flavoured with lemongrass and sesame.
Pho Lien is widely praised as a top pho spot in Montreal, with a rich aromatic broth, well balanced toppings and noodles with good bite, and many diners say the beef pho is superb and among the best in the city; portions are generous, prices affordable, and service is typically fast and friendly, with extra bowls and fresh chilies available on request, though the cash only policy and an on site ATM are noted; the atmosphere ranges from cozy and welcoming to busy and cold depending on seating and renovations, and some reviews mention a return after a fire that was celebrated; while concerns include flavors leaning toward MSG, inconsistent quality, small meat portions, higher prices, slow or disorganized service, cold rooms, or lack of card payments, many longtime visitors still consider Pho Lien a favorite for both dine-in and takeout.
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

I stopped by with my family last week while visiting Montreal. "Pho" is great. Both of my picky wife & mother love the soup. Service is fast & friendly.
We came from Toronto, expecting great food. The PHO was good, but the BUN was a total disappointment. The rice noodle were clump together & cold. The shrimps were cold & tasted off. The spring rolls is indescribably bad. The customer service was terrible. The server ignored us & seemed more interested in wandering around aimlessly than serving customers. Will not return !!!

Un lieu que je fréquente depuis plus de 20 ans avec une ambiance familiale. Le meilleur bouillon du quartier Côte des Neiges & probablement au delà. Bien sûr je parle de soupe Pho🙂
Best Pho restaurant in town. The broth is amazing. However, very small meat portion. Really small & crowded place, but friendly staff. The service is quite fast. They don't accept debit/credit cards, which is really annoying nowadays. Also, the price has drastically increased over the past 5 years (passing from 11$ to 18$ for the x-large).
Food is good! Waiter was rude & made sure to show me it was a problem that i was alone to eat telling me numerous time that he would have to move me if 2 people ore more came in.. he seated me to a 4 person table himself... i mean i understand but while im eating you dont move me. The pho was good tho! Portion are small & prices high

Best pho I've tasted in Montreal. We usually order in (frequently!!) but for once we went there. Reasonable price. Killer broth. Wish you were open every day but I'm happy everyone takes at least one day off!
The best pho in town! The best egg rolls & meat! Whichever plate u get, will be delicious!😍 my only complaint would be that they dont accept card! Cash only! But love the whole business 💕 dont order from ubereats as the business does not profit from it & they deserve the coins❤️
