Review Summary

Pho Lien is widely praised for its rich broth, fast service, and generous bowls that many call the best pho in Montreal, with some reviewers claiming it is the best pho they have ever had. The menu covers beef and chicken pho and assorted combos, plus fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and extra chilies, all served quickly in a casual, busy setting with small tables and a straightforward atmosphere. A recurring caveat is that the place is cash only and an ATM on site can charge fees, which deters some customers who would prefer credit cards, especially since portions and prices are debated and some find it expensive for a pho place. Occasional notes mention August closures and the hope that a reopening will bring refreshed quality, while others look forward to returning after a break. Environmental minded patrons note that bringing their own containers to reduce waste is appreciated. Overall the reviews describe Pho Lien as a reliable option for pho when in the area, with a strong aroma and broth that earn high marks.

I was so happy to see that you guys were open on thanksgiving! Ordered tonight & I don't know what happened but I paid for two XL pho tai gau & it just wasn't like usual. Less noodles & meat, less bean sprouts (which had browned some already), it was greasier than usual too & the broth wasn't as flavourful... Not impressed at all, & I hope it was just an off day today because this is my favourite pho restaurants.

The best, most authentic pho outside of Vietnam! this is really an institution. the service is speedy, friendly & warm & the food is so so excellent. The broth is rich, deep & perfectly seasoned & full of flavour. The noodles are fresh & bouncy & the beef is excellent quality. Hands down the best pho I've had!

Fermé les mardi. Ils n'acceptent que les paiements en espèces & comme c'est mon moyen préféré, cela a parfaitement marché. Guichet sur place $. C'est le seul restaurant Pho des environs, avec une quarantaine de tables, dont une petite terrasse encore ouverte début octobre 24. Ce fut une agréable surprise de les découvrir aujourd'hui. Leur spécialité est la traditionnelle soupe tonkinoise, qui rivalise en qualité avec une autre excellente soupe boul. St-Laurent près du quartier chinois (mes autres commentaires). Consommé bien assaisonné, bon arôme d'espèces non envahissantes au palais. Délicieux avec des pousses de soja. Des quantités honnêtes de viande. Tailles : moyenne, grande & très grande. La soupe boeuf moyenne avec tendons & tripes coûte 15,22 $ & suffisent pour être satisfaits. L'assiette poulet ananas, également délicieux pour $15.66. Service diligent & sympathique. J'ai donc une nouvelle place sur ma liste de Phos.

Ordered stir fried beef & grilled chicken vermicelli bowls to enjoy. Service was friendly, quick, & enjoyed our meal on patio. Each bowl currently priced at $18 CDN when we dined there in September 2024. I would recommend this place to family & friends. Cash payment taken, no cards unless it's debit.

I've loved this restaurant for years. The food is great & the service used to be amazing. Recently though the wait staff have been disappointing. Rude, short with customers & no water refills.

The soup is delicious also the grill beef & pork we very well cook. The neighbourhood Côté des Neiges where is located is very trendy.

Had a chance to try their number 1 pho dac biet special & shrimp fresh rolls. Although the items had good flavour, I would say it's good in general & a decent spot for a pho craving. Outside of that, would recommend only if your around the area. Service is awesome!
