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.
La Pho ne déception jamais. Si vous êtes amateur de restaurant vietnamien ou de tout type de soupe, vous ne pouvez pas vous en passer. Un jour de semaine comme de fin de semaine c'est toujours un bon moment pour passer. Un service impeccable, demander & vous serez servi.
**i'd highly recommend pho nam which is 2 min of walk right across the street!! I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but today's visit was really disappointing. I come to this place often, & I've never experienced service like this. The server was rude & unprofessional from the start.
We told one of the staff members that we were ready to order, & she said our waiter would be right with us. Even after we waved at him, he ignored us. When he finally came over, he had an attitude & responded in a very unprofessional & irrelevant way. We made a simple request, something I've swapped many times before, & instead of explaining why it supposedly couldn't be done, he gave us attitude again.
He told us he would be back, but instead he took other people's orders, cleaned tables, set up new ones, & even stopped to chat with other customers. It was clear he chose to make us wait & feel uncomfortable. After waiting another 10 minutes & realizing it wasn't an accident, my friend & I decided to leave. The whole experience was extremely unprofessional & disappointing.
Ce restaurant de soupe tonkinoise est une véritable pépite à Montréal. J'y vais depuis plus d'une décennie & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Le bouillon est fabuleux, la soupe délicieuse. Le rapport qualité-prix est exceptionnel. Je prends toujours le numéro 18 (Dac Biet) mon préféré, & je me régale à chaque fois. Le service est toujours super rapide. Mention spéciale également pour leur dessert trois couleurs & leur café vietnamien, un vrai délice !
Yan nous as super bien reçu , accueilli , je le remercie infiniment pour son attention . Ces clients son sa priorité , c'est la raison pour laquelle je vais revenir. 😘
