Reviewers describe Pho Nguyen as a cozy, small, unpretentious spot offering generous portions and consistently flavorful pho and vermicelli dishes at good prices, with many calling it the best pho in Montreal or among the top in Canada and the US. The broth is frequently praised for depth and warmth, though a few tasters note it can be slightly sweeter or less soulful depending on the batch. Service is commonly described as friendly and fast, with staff accommodating dietary needs and order changes without fuss. The atmosphere and location feel tucked away yet convenient for takeout or dine in, adding to a sense of a hidden gem. Some critiques appear, such as concerns about serving hot soup in plastic bowls, occasional blandness in certain meat dishes, or a less robust broth on some visits. Overall the consensus points to good value, reliable flavor, and a place that regulars are eager to return to and recommend.
We were looking for Phô… turned, saw the sign of the restaurant & enterrés into this rather modest basement restaurant.
Service : we were sat within a second even though the place was quite packed.
The waitress was very polite & friendly & quick to serve us & to help us with any request we had.
Food : came very quickly. Then, phô soup is not a dish you prepare by the minute anyway so this makes sense.
Ordered an extra large phô gà nuong spicy & a large tài chin with rare & well done beef. We added two veggi imperial roles.
Everything tasted very good : the broth, the meat, the noodles, the full dish !
We were full by the time we finished 😁
… & at a very good price.
Decent pho dish for the price. I ordered a large one for a simple dinner. At first, it looked rather smaller than I expected. However, it turned out to be a good soup with plenty of meat. The service was friendly. I would recommend it
Nous nous sommes régalés dans ce restaurant asiatique où les plats étaient plus appétissants les uns que les autres, personnel accueillant, rapidité de notre commande & excellent rapport qualité prix, je recommande !

Best Pho in Montreal in my opinion, most authentic & tastes just like homemade pho. Generous portion of meats & noodles. We always order the chicken wings too. They are always super busy so be patient :)

Tried same styles of pho both here & at their neighbors- pho nguyen is just out of competition, broth is so delicious, refined & not heavy, & the meat quality is also on par.
This has to be one of the best pho places i have been to. I highly recommend it to anyone who l likes pho. The base for the soup is different, & I like it more than other places.
Very fresh & authentic all the price includes the taxes (12.25$ to 14$) They have recently renovated their inside. Worth to give it a try if you are a local & haven't tried 😉
