About

Pho Nguyen specializes in authentic Vietnamese cuisine with a primary focus on deeply aromatic, slow-simmered beef and chicken soups. These traditional broths serve as the foundation for signature bowls served with an extensive variety of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime wedges. The menu emphasizes classic culinary techniques by incorporating high-quality rice noodles alongside thinly sliced meats and essential Southeast Asian aromatics. Diners experience a straightforward atmosphere that centers on the preparation and presentation of iconic noodle soups. Each bowl reflects a disciplined approach to balancing savory, sweet, and herbal flavor profiles without unnecessary embellishment. This establishment maintains a consistent commitment to regional recipes that prioritize clarity of flavor and traditional preparation methods throughout every serving. The culinary offerings remain firmly rooted in foundational Vietnamese cooking styles that celebrate the complexity of long-simmered stocks.

Visitors consistently praise the flavorful and fresh broth, noting that the restaurant offers some of the best pho and bun bo hue in the city. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy and welcoming, providing a relaxed environment despite the intimate and compact space. Beyond the food, the establishment is highly valued for its exceptionally competitive pricing, with many noting that tax is already included, which adds to its appeal as an affordable, high-quality dining destination.

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.

We definitely recommend !

Waitress was MIA after I received my food. No water refills, or checking to see if I needed anything.

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

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.
