A cozy little restaurant with great food that comes in good portions & nice staff
The food was great & the portion size is good. What disappointed us was the service. When me & my friend politely asked for a small bowl to share we were answered very impatiently & in a disrespectful tone that'We don't give bowls & that's how it is here'. The woman serving us was clearly impatient & annoyed which is very unprofessional & made us feel extremely uncomfortable.
Clearly there's a lack of basic costumer service. It was our first & last visit.
Endroit réconfortant ! J'y suis allée seule en espérant un bon plat réconfortant & j'ai été servie.
Years of trying different restaurants around downtown Montreal, & I will still find myself coming back here to get a good, affordable bowl of Pho or Bun Bo Hue. Small but clean restaurant, quick service, consistent flavour. Can't complain.
Affordable spot with good service overall. The chicken wings were actually really good & stood out. Unfortunately, the pho broth was missing depth, & the meat seemed a bit old, which was disappointing. Still, the service was friendly & attentive, & the prices are reasonable.
Cozy place with great service. Accommodated celiac gluten free diet great!
This is hands down the best pho I've had across Canada or the US. I've been many times now. Delicious.
I've lived in Montreal for over a year, & this was by far the most unpleasant restaurant experience I've had.
To start, my order was incorrect. I clearly asked for a large size, but I was served a small. After it was replaced, I confirmed with the server that it was the special beef pho I ordered, & she responded in an impatient & dismissive tone, which was uncomfortable.
The most unacceptable part happened at checkout. The server did not ask whether we wanted separate bills & automatically combined them. When my friend politely asked to split the bill, the server rolled her eyes at her. This behavior was unprofessional & disrespectful.
We did nothing wrong - we were paying customers & deserved basic courtesy.
This was my first & last visit. Definitely never coming back.
This place was phoking tasty.
Some customers can't figure out the sliding door at the entrance. Have the human decency to close it when you leave to not freeze the rest of the patrons.
Soupe Pho taí, tonkinoise, vraiment excellente! Le personnel est très gentil & le service est rapide. C'est tout petit, mais on réussit toujours à trouver un bout de table. Pour avoir un bon repas. Ma soupe Pho taì préférée, à Montréal.
Pleasantly surprised. As mentioned in other reviews prices are extremely hard to beat. For those with electric vehicles down the street below St Catherine's there are 4 level 2 chargers so you can charge your car while enjoying this restaurant for 1 dollar an hour charge rate. Hostess & staff are friendly. Lots of students here but I cannot blame them because the price is the best bang for the buck. I took an extra large number 5 with one imperial roll. Next time I will take 2 rolls as they were very good. All prices on the menu are tax in. So basically cheaper than the other Vietnamese restaurants I've reviewed. Now that I've read other reviews of this restaurant & have been I'd tm rather come here than the other locations I've reviewed in Brossard.
Fresh food, fast service, not expensive at all. I discovered the place & came 3 nights in a row. Definitely recommend.
Pho is southing on a cold day! The lady's that work here are kind & hard working! Love the atmosphere. They bring everything fast & it is quite adorable! Also recommend the BUN #46!
