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...
not bad! Service could've been better, we ran out of water mid meal & then they were confused when we went to get water ourselves as they didn't check on us whatsoever during the meal. Also server didn't ask about the meal or if everything was alright so not a big deal I guess but overall but if a cold experience with service. Food itself was fine & a good portion for 18$
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.
J'y suis arrêtée pour souper & j'ai pris l'assiette de nouilles croustillantes au poulet & légumes. L'assiette était tellement généreuse, que j'en ai même rapporté la moitié à la maison (le bouillon n'étaitpas trèsgouteux, mais mais l'ensemble était très bien. Beau restaurant esthétiquement, il y a un magnifique arbre de fleurs roses majestueux à l'entrée. La serveuse, une française je crois, était gentille mais très timide. J'ai été très bien servie. Pour le stationnement, c'était pas compliqué puisque ce n'est pas une rue passante & il y avait quelques parcomètres disponibles (la borne est toutefois au coin Sainte-Catherine.

Un bon resto pour le Pho 🍜!
Le soupe est très authentique!
On a goûté le banh mi chao aussi! Il faut le manger tout chaud chaud chaud!! 😋
Le view est cool, mais peut-être plus accessible aux transports en commun, que en voiture !
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.
Tres mauvais service & excellente nourriture.
0 attente pour la nourriture mais aucun enthousiasme présent chez les serveurs, au moment de payer la facture l'attente a été surprenament longue
D'autres clients present tout aussi choqués du service en venant chercher leurs commandes
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.
The food was good but not great - not as fresh as other Pho places in the area. However, the atmosphere was certainly better (more cozy) than most pho places in the city altogether. The service was very friendly & efficient enough to squeeze a meal over a lunch break.
Overall, I would visit again with a group due to the atmosphere & menu variety, but if I was alone or looking only for Pho, it would not be my first choice in the area. I expected better since it is somewhat more pricey than places with better pho.
