About

Pho Lien serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine centered on traditional noodle soup preparations. The menu highlights bowls of aromatic broth simmered with star anise, cinnamon, and ginger, served alongside fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and thinly sliced proteins. Diners select from varied rice noodle thicknesses and cuts of meat to customize individual bowls. Beyond the signature soups, the kitchen prepares classic rolls wrapped in translucent rice paper with dipping sauces. The setting emphasizes a functional and straightforward approach to Asian culinary staples. Ingredients are prepared daily to ensure consistent flavor profiles in every serving of the steaming broth. This establishment focuses on delivering standardized bowls that reflect established techniques for crafting complex, savory liquids combined with tender ingredients for a cohesive meal.

Review Summary

Pho Lien is widely regarded as a top destination for authentic and flavorful pho in Montreal, with many diners praising the rich, high quality broth and generous portions. Guests often highlight the friendly and efficient service, noting that the restaurant provides a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a moment of comfort. While the majority of feedback is glowing, with some patrons visiting for over a decade, there are occasional critiques regarding the crowded seating, the lack of modern payment options as the business is cash only, and some mixed experiences with consistency. Despite these minor drawbacks and the need to plan ahead for cash payments, the consistently busy environment and strong local following suggest that it remains a favorite for many seeking a delicious and satisfying meal.

Très cher pour des brochettes minces comme 2 feuilles de papier. On accepte que l'argent comptant (il y a un guichet voleur sur place). Service moyen. Bref, je fus très déçu & je n'y retournerai plus c'est certain. NB. Le restaurant Nguyen Phi offre une qualité supérieure & des prix beaucoup plus doux. J'arrive du Vietnam & ce restaurant sert une cuisine beaucoup plus authentique. C'est là qu'il faut aller.

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🙂

Been dining to this restaurant from time to time for many years when I have a craving for Vietnamese chicken soup or grilled beef lime with side dish of imperial rolls. Small restaurant with Jo reservation so you might have some lineups depending on time & day. Note that cash only is accepted but a ATM machine is inside for cash.

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).
