Review Summary

Pho Lien is widely praised as a long standing Montreal favorite, with many describing its broth as incredibly flavorful and its pho among the best they have had, a comforting go to on cold days with generous toppings and fast service. The dining room vibe receives mixed notes, ranging from a lively authentic atmosphere and friendly staff to a colder, louder space with slower, disorganized service and sometimes a sterile feel. Cash only is a frequent gripe, though some reviewers mention an ATM on site or nearby, while others say the policy dampens the experience compared to places that take cards. Portions and value are often praised, fresh herbs and chilies are highlighted, and the idea of a reliable, nostalgic staple persists, though a few reviews describe issues like thin noodles, small meat portions, or broth that can taste flat or MSG heavy. Overall the reviews converge on a beloved institution that inspires strong loyalty and memories, with a hope that consistency and reopening stays true to its character.

Je mange la soupe depuis plusieus annees . Une 10- ne de visites.
Tres bonne!!! Le reste est mediocre.
Alors si vous cherchez des plats, viandes, rouleaux - pas par ici. La soupe seulement.
La terasse en ete difficile avoire place. Jusq'a fermeture.
Interieur - mangez les yeux fermes, lol.
Service- ils fonctionnent tres rapidement' mais pas d'ambiance amicale ou familiale. ( faute trop de clientelle ?)

on mange très bien, la meilleur soupe tonkinoise en ville. Le resto vraiment trop tassé car c'est très petit. Le service est très vite, les serveurs ne parle pas tous en français, mais globalement ça vaut le détour.
Mais prenez jamais de café, ils le serve avec du lait concentré,bizarre.
