We’re proud to say we serve only the most authentic Vietnamese dishes! Discover the vibrant flavors of Vietnam at Pho Ly Quoc Su your gateway to authentic Vietnamese dining. Immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam as we bring you a tantalizing blend of fresh ingredients, bold spices, and time-honored recipes passed down through generations.
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.
Bro this place is actually wild & not in a good way. Food was mid already but whatever… then outta nowhere a cockroach literally pulled up on our table like he had a reservation 💀 not on the floor… ON THE TABLE while we were sitting there.
Completely killed the whole vibe & honestly made me question how clean this place even is. If roaches are comfortable chilling where people eat, I don't even wanna know what the kitchen looks like.
Only reason I didn't go full Karen mode & make a huge scene is because the girl I was with has anxiety & I didn't wanna make her uncomfortable. Otherwise trust me this would've gone very differently.
Never coming back & I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are way better Vietnamese spots that don't come with surprise insect guests.
While wandering around Phillips Square in downtown Montreal, we stumbled upon a Vietnamese restaurant. The bò né was amazing, & we'll definitely come back on our next trip to Montreal.

Today is my first time trying Vietnamese food, & it did not disappoint! The chicken pho is a delicious way to warm up on a cold day. The broth was very rich & the chicken has a nice grilled flavour. I ordered takeout & my order was ready in about 20 minutes.
This is my second time at this place & I will say that this is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal! The interior decoration looks authentic & cozy. I love how it was not too crowded also, our server was really friendly & the food was awesome! Recommend to come here & I will come back again!
Nice Vietnamese restaurant at Phillips Square in Montreal. Had a 7 hour stopover & took the bus to the center for nice lunch & I was not disappointed. Took waiters to recognize me (I sneaked to the outdoor patio), but then they were really fast & attentive. Food came fast, had summer rolls & vermicelli, both great as well as the Vietnamese coffee afterwards.
I went to Montreal for the first time & decided to try this Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered the pho with rare beef & meatballs. It was delicious! Very authentic taste for the pho! The venue was also very big with beautiful decor. They have two floors inside & & outdoor patio area.
While in town & staying in the neighborhood, I stumbled upon this place. So glad that I did! As soon as I walked in, the vibes were there! I was immediately acknowledged & sat for lunch. The staff were so attentive & nice!
I ordered the Vietnamese grilled chicken pho & a Pinot Grigio. THE FOOD…DELICIOUS! It was healthy & exactly what I was craving. & for the price point, you can't beat it.
The decor of the spot is so cute & trendy as well. I will definitely be back! 😁

They accomodated the retirement party of our colleague, we are about 50 people but they tried their best to organize how they would serve us. The owner was very kind, servers are patient. Food is 10/10, very tasty, big serving. & the ambiance is great, compared to other Vietnamese restaurant they really made an effort to make their place beautiful!
Beautiful place ! You can feel the warm welcoming as the moment when you walked in . I'm very happy to find a Vietnamese restaurant closes to my work that I can eat "My mother's foods "!
To preface this review, I went at a non-busy time in a group of 2. We had many issues with the service & food: 1. Ordered a rare beef pho & a rare beef & well done beef pho. Received a well done beef pho & a rare beef & well done beef pho. 2. They served the pho lukewarm! The rare meat didn't cook in the slightest!!!!!!! After asking to reheat the pho, they returned it THE SAME TEMPERATURE. 3. I requested fresh chilis from the staff 3 times throughout the meal & never received any. 4. Very minimal sauce included. They give tiny portions of sriracha/hoisin so you have to keep asking. It would be way better to have the bottles at the table like other authentic Vietnamese establishments. 5. Personal opinion - the pho broth was too sweet, missing some acidity. 6. Don't sit anywhere near the door in cold weather, they leave the outer door open sometimes so when the inner door is opened you'll be frozen. On the bright side, they have friendly staff & a great atmosphere (upstairs is super cool too).

my pork rice paper roll was tiny compared to pictures on here. they also switched my order with prawns without telling me. they were nice enough about switching the incorrect order but they should just not serve the item if they dont have pork available. owner also stared at me the entire time i was getting my order switched. weird it wasn't available as well as i ordered pretty early in the day (3pm). my banh mi broth was too salty & oily as well. very average Vietnamese food.
Wonderful Vietnamese in the heart of Montreal serving authentic & considered Vietnamese food like rolls, Bamh Mi, Pho, & incredible Vietnamese ice coffee. Highly recommended, & the service is wonderful from a caring team. Reminds me of their sister shop front in Hanoi. Bravo!
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.
