Pho Nguyen draws broad praise for flavorful, comforting pho, generous portions, fast and friendly service, and very affordable prices, with many reviewers calling it among the best Vietnamese spots in Montreal; repeat visits and consistent quality are common themes, and the kitchen is praised for fresh herbs, balanced broth, and solid noodle dishes, though a few notes of caution appear about bowls being switched to melamine or plastic and concerns about cleaning and safety; a handful mention a cozy, tucked away setting, while many highlight the grilled chicken, imperial rolls, and other offerings as reliable options for a quick, satisfying meal.
This place is overrated. The broth is overly sweet, & the flavor of the Vietnamese pho has been too heavily adjusted to suit Montreal tastes. That said, the ingredients were fresh, but it's still hard to give it a high rating.
First time ever trying Vietnamese food & it did not disappoint! The portions are very big i got a small pho & was not able to finish it! The food was not overly salty & tasted really fresh & the price was worth the quantity! Food also came very fast & workers were nice! 10/10 would recommend

My only spot for Pho. Im from southern Vietnam & this restaurant is the closest to authentic taste of my home town. Im sure other provinces they make Pho slightly different. When i go to a resto, i only consider the taste not the price or how pretty the resto is.
The both is super tasty & flavorful , tho you would drink a lot of water after a Pho 😂 its considered normal to me because whats good without Msg - the god of viet food. If you want a healthy diet, go eat your white chicken & vegies lol
Wonderful phô, fantastically tasty broth, great noodles & other ingredients. Friendly, efficient & helpful waitstaff. I'm glad it's chilly today & I came in. Looking forward to many great meals to come.

The absolute best pho soup I have ever had no joke! We have been there at least 100 times & it is still amazing every time!! Very kind & welcoming staff❤️
The school is near here. I often pass by it after school. Today, my mother & I specially found this Vietnamese pho restaurant in a friend's recommendation. It tastes very good! The main thing is that the meat & soup are very fresh & cost-effective! The portion is also very large. Basically, if you are not particularly hungry, just start a large portion. In addition, you can also try coconut juice!
I've never tried pho before so I asked my waitress for her recommendation & she chose rare beef & flank, it was phenomenal, really really good, I'll definitely be eating there again. The price was SO cheap & the portions are huge, you can definitely leave here feeling full on just a few dollars, a blessing in this economy, I was full full after ordering just a small & I can eat. The food came very fast, just a couple minutes at most which helped because I didn't have a lot of time, staff are very friendly & working hard. Make sure to leave a good tip, they deserve it, this place is a gem. The aesthetic of the restaurant leaves a lot to the imagination but honestly that doesn't even matter, 10/10 would recommend!

Le pho a été bon. Mon mari a mangé un Bún Chả & il l'a bien aimé. Le service était très gentil & rapide. Le dessert de tapioca était aussi bon. Le prix est très raisonnable. Je recommande hautement ce restaurant 👍
Food was great. Easily one of my favorite pho places. The portions are huge & the flavor is amazing. I recommend the special bowl as it comes with every thing you could want or need in it. Ie tripe, meat balls, rare & well done beef, & tendons. You can ask for extra also if you choose. Service is fast & friendly even when the woman working is overwhelmed she still does her best to be friendly. I love how the tax is built into the prices on the menu. Theres 3 sizes medium large & extra large. Most people myself included will be full with the large. Extra large is huge but if your hungry you're hungry.. It's one of the few places in Montréal I can go & be completely full for less then $20 for good quality & delicious food aswell.
