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.
(post COVID)
For many good years this restaurant served my favorite phó in Montreal. Like with many other restaurants, they seem to have chosen to decrease the portions instead of raising the prices accordingly, but worst of all their soup is not even good anymore. The broth is now very blend & tastes like it is made from concentrate. & the noodles?... The lowest of the lowest quality.
Been there three times over the past 8 months & sadly.. the quality has not recovered after COVID.

Piano covers of the top most romantic hits playing & one of the best pho I've had in the city brought tears to my eyes.

It's a popular restaurant. There's a parking lot just outside of the restaurant. The service is quick, the vegetables are fresh, & good price, too. Overall it's not bad.
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.

Located along TransCanada near Jarry, it's a tiny family-run Vietnamese Pho House that serves authentic Vietnamese cuisines, from beef pho to vermicelli to Lemongrass marinated pork chop rice plates, all very yummy. Moreover, the prices are quite reasonable, especially in today's ever escalating inflation, their EXTRA Large bowls of Beef Phos are $15.75CDN. Our party of 10 ordered #8 (Rare brisket, tripes, etc) were delicious, the cold with pork chops were excellent as well
The service was on the spot, considering folks were coming in constantly. I highly recommend it ??
Ate there regularly while working on the road.pho is as good as I've had elsewhere.prices are very reasonable.we now will go out of our way to eat there or get takeout.i would confidently recommend.
Food was pretty good, service is kinda horrible. We waited a while before ordering. Food prepare really fast though. My friend had to go up to the desk to ask for water. They don't accept card which completely sucks. The atmosphere is okay the lights are pretty bright in my opinion. Good price too.
Best Pho I had in Montreal. The broth is rich & exceptionnal. Beef is tasty & super fresh. Prices are super resonable. If you like strong coffee, try their ice coffee but it's only available in a small format. Would have buyed 2 big ones instead.
Best place to have a Pho in the East end. Authentic & priced right. The service is really good. The plates arrived within 6 minutes. So if you want to eat & run this is the place to eat.
My soup #7 grilled chicken was very good! 10/10. My husband took F comb. He expected more meat for the price.. I aggre. But if you feel like having great soups, you should try it!
