Pho Ngon is widely regarded as a top spot for pho in Montreal, with reviews praising a rich, flavorful broth, generous portions and good value, and dishes such as beef pho, grilled meat over rice, spring rolls and fresh herbs that feel authentic. Service is described as fast and efficient, though experiences vary with some customers noting rude or uneven service at times. The restaurant is cash only, with an on site ATM, and parking is available but can be tight during busy hours. A recurring note from diners is that post pandemic some aspects have changed, with some describing the broth as less deep or the portions smaller, while others still consider it among the best in the city. One critique mentions a strong cleaning product odor near the tables at lunch, which can overpower the flavors. Despite mixed points, many see Pho Ngon as a reliable, comforting choice that delivers solid flavors and quick service for takeout or dine in.
The service at this restaurant was unsatisfactory. I was required to sit between two tables, even though many other seats were available. The staff were discourteous & provided no assistance. In addition, a mandatory tip was enforced, & only cash payments were accepted. Diners should consider these factors before visiting.

Meilleure pho ever !
Fait 20ans que je fréquente l'endroit & suis tout simplement in looooooove avec leurs soupes. Cash only avec un esti de machine a 4$ de frais. Arriver avec votre argent content.
This is a classic pho restaurant that's been around for years. They always provide good value for the price you pay. We had the crispy noodles & it was tasty. However it was a bit on the salty side for me. We also had the grilled chicken & beef rice. The quality of the meat was good. This dish wasn't too spicy & it came with a vegetable spring roll. It was good overall. The service is fast & friendly. Take note that they are CASH ONLY. There's an ATM inside the restaurant though. They also have free parking but it fills up pretty quickly during busy hours.
Food was alright. Lacked a bit of flavor but nothing a couple of spices & sauces can't fix.
That being said, i really didn't liked the cashier's attitude toward me absolutely putting a tip & the fact that he raised his tone as if i was leaving without paying my tab. I don't mind tipping a good meal & service, not tipping you doing basic services like just taking my order & just serve the food I'm paying for.
& I was about to tip anyway since a friend of mine recommended the place, but that cashier's attitude left a bad taste in my mouth & I will not come back. Not worth it.
Had a grilled chicken pho soup. No veggies in the soup, not so tasty broth. Service is fast. Staff talks loudly, not a great ambience if you want to enjoy a quiet meall. Cash only.
Tried few pho soup in the neighborhood & it's the best i found so far.
The staffs are friendly & super fast. I rarely eat in the restaurant, I usually call & pick up in less than 15/20 mn & it's always ready. As stated in the other reviews its cash only but there's an atm
