Pho Ly Quoc Su draws mixed but largely positive feedback for its authentic Vietnamese Pho and lively, attractive setting. Reviewers repeatedly praise the broth as rich and flavorful and the portions as generous, with chicken pho, beef pho and vermicelli dishes earning praise for taste and authenticity. The interior is described as clean, bright, and cozy with a vibrant decor and a pleasant terrace, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Service is noted as friendly and attentive in many visits, though several diners report occasions of slower service, water not being refilled, or missteps during meals. Some guests mention higher prices and occasional inconsistency compared with other pho places, while others feel the quality justifies the cost and location. A number of reviewers highlight halal options and careful preparation to accommodate dietary needs, and many appreciate the freshness of ingredients and the traditional flavors that recall Hanoi and other Vietnamese kitchens. A few reviews describe less favorable experiences, citing bland broth or clumpy noodles, but these are outweighed by praise for the overall experience and the variety of menu choices, including banh mi and other Vietnamese dishes.
I went with a group of friends & settled with this place because they could accommodate a group of 12. The atmosphere was very pleasant & they had a cosy decor.
Unfortunately, the pho was very bland. The soup felt like it was diluted & was lukewarm. The noodles were in a clump & were overcooked. The meat was chewy & sparingly given. Overall, it's probably the worst pho I've ever had. Most of my friends also agreed the pho was bland compared to other small pho businesses. At least, the spring rolls were delicious. I really hope they improve their pho recipe...
The broth is extremely bland & is definitely not real ph?. I've been to Pho Ly Quoc Su in Vietnam & expected something similar, but this tasted like a poor imitation.
The noodles were unusually short, making them awkward & frustrating to eat with chopsticks.
Overall, this was a major letdown & not worth the money at all.

I was sitting on the terrace around 12:00. The food was amazing-the pho was savoureux & the skewers were delicious. Unfortunately, the server kept forgetting my chopsticks even after I asked several times, & by the time I got them, my noodles were cold. Another server (the one with the scarf) kindly checked in & apologized, even though it wasn't her table. Overall, great food but the service needs a bit of improvement.
The ph? was disappointing, noodles clumped together like paste, & even the meat came in a rubbery lump. Nothing about it felt fresh or properly prepared.
Amazing experience at Ph? Lý Qu?c S?!
The h? ti?u here is absolutely delicious - rich flavor & perfectly cooked noodles. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. The restaurant has a nice, comfortable atmosphere, great for both locals & tourists. Special thanks to Aya & Mia for their excellent service - super friendly & attentive. Definitely coming back!👍👍👍😍😍😍
Definitely not authentic Pho & overpriced for the quality. I ordered a grilled chicken Pho soup & was greatly disappointed. The noodles were really overcooked. By the end of my meal they were too soggy to eat. The grilled chicken was fine & the broth lacked flavour. I won't be returning :(

We just had their pho & it was really good the broth was clear but flavorful & the beef was tender the noodles were cooked well & the fresh herbs added a nice touch we also had their fresh spring rolls which were light & tasty we tried the mango smoothie (100% you must try) & you can actually taste the real mango it wasn't too sweet just refreshing overall a solid meal & we'd come back again
Phở Lý Quốc Sư offers authentic Vietnamese flavors with standout phở & bánh mì. The phở features a rich, aromatic broth simmered for hours, with tender beef & fresh, springy noodles. A side of herbs, lime, & chili adds brightness & spice. The bánh mì is equally impressive, with a crispy, yet soft baguette filled with well-seasoned meats, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, & a hint of pâté & mayo for extra richness. Both dishes reflect traditional flavors & high-quality ingredients, making Phở Lý Quốc Sư a must-visit for Vietnamese food enthusiasts.
It's ok pho. Broth was OK. It didn't have that Kapow that hooks you. Noodles were the flat wide ones... Not my particular favorite. Rare beef pho was $18. There was no choice of sizes & I thought it was on the medium to small size where the price would've normally warranted, a gigantic bowl. All in all, not bad, but not a knockout. Staff were nice, food came quick, interior was quite nice.
A beautiful place, well decorated, clean, spacious & so welcoming. You have indoor seating & outdoor. Very comfortable & family friendly. The service is excellent & the managers take pride in keeping all their clients happy & super well fed. The menu is compact but it is so delicious & so well prepared & presented. The portions are generous & healthier than most asian restaurants. Thumbs up for the cooks. We come from Waterloo, On & I can attest that nothing in our town comes close to this family run business. I commend the owners for their integrity & hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a hearty, healthy Pho or a noodle dish. Enjoy!

Stormy night in Montreal & I've decided to spice things up with some Bún bò Huế. Nothing says'cozy' like sweating through your shirt while the rain pours outside! 🌧️🔥 #StormySpice #NoodleNirvana
Pretty descent pho 🍜 place in downtown Montreal. We arrived at Montreal late & this is one of the few places that were open at the time. The staff was very friendly & spoke excellent English. We ordered vermicelli & spicy beef noodles. Both came pretty quickly after we ordered & we thought were excellent! The only thing that made me not giving a five star is there were no condiments (fish sauce & spicy sauce) at the table like you would expect. Overall pretty descent place.
Everything was great! From service to food to the decorations. We were so happy to have a noodles that isnt so so heavy in msg or sweet & salty. The Bun bo hue was spicy & so delicious!! Special pho had great broth. Both had so much meat in them🩷 & lots of basils, green onions, cilantro added a lot to the flavour👍🏼
Worthy of a 5-stars review. The staff has been cheerful & attentive throughout my lunch. The food was served very quickly & it has truly been delicious, not to mention the large portions. I ended up paying 36.36 CAD (taxes & tips included) for noodles with beef & veggies, plus some plain rice & a good Chinese beer. I shouldn't have ordered the rice, to be honest, because I wasn't able to finish the food anyway. Keep up the great work, you guys!
