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.
Atmosphere & service were great. Pho had a slightly gamey aroma, salad roll relied too much on the sauce. The menu is conservative compared to other Vietnamese places. I will try more items & update my review. Staff were fantastic.
This place is conveniently located & ambience is charming. We had veggies pho & chicken pho. The broth was good & went well with the well-cooked chicken. The attentive & friendly staff made the dining experience pleasant. Overall, a great spot for good Vietnamese food with excellent service.

We checked this place out before going to the HABS-LEAFS game & we all were so so happy we did!! First of all, we are picky eaters when talking about Vietnamese foods, as we can cook well & we know well what authentic northen Vietnamese foods mean. This place meets our high expectation, one of us even said "Tô phở ngon chuẩn vị nhất từng an ở Ca!" (The most delicious & authentic Pho I've ever eaten in Canada!") Kudo to the Chef! Second - great great location & views! Right in the middle of the busy downtown shopping St. Catherine Str., with a stunning view over the square from the 2nd floor window. Million dollar view no doubt!! Third - the restaurant decor was super cool, a lots of adorable corners to check in. We loved every details of the decoration, very impressive!! & last but not least - excellent services. I hope there are more stars to give to Pho Ly Quoc Su, should be the best 5 star review I have given so far. Thank you!
Had an excellent meal & most helpful service from Nam. The beef on the Mi Xao Goin Bo (his suggestion) was delicious, & I liked the taste & texture of the crispy noodles. My colleague enjoyed her Bun BYO Vermicelli. We split a Cha Gio appetizer. Both of us were delighted & could not eat another bite. It's not a fancy place but we enjoyed the decorations & the window view. Overall a delightful experience & I would certainly come back to sample more of the menu. See menu in posted pics. Recommended!
Délicieux! J'ai commandé à emporter le midi Pho (boeuf saignant). La dame à la caisse a été très polie & aidante! J'ai passé vers 12:20 pm à ce jour. Elle m'a donné en verre, le dessert surprise! Très bon! Merci! À la prochaine!
Glad to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant downtown. My pho with rare beef was served with cooked beef. I wonder if there was a lack of synchronization between front & back of house. If it sits too long in the pass, the the thinly sliced beef cooks. The service was ok , but definitely needs work. As a lone diner, I do not need 2 waiters watching me eat, whether they were looking at me or behind me, they needed to be more discreet. & where were they when I was trying to get my bill to pay & leave? I am of average height, the booth side of the table is too high so one has to bend a little too much over to eat. The other diners around me were in the same predicament. The spa-like covers of popular songs was a bit loud with only 6 people in the restaurant & also set a weird atmosphere: is it a spa or a vibrant new restaurant? Also, English-speaking staff only? That's why I'm writing my review in English to make sure my review is understood. With these small adjustments, things should pick up.
