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.
My first experience was amazing, but strangely my second visit was starkly different. I think this change was based on my appearance, as I was ignored from the start. I was even prevented from selecting my own table (unlike the customers after my arrival). With a limited timeframe of less than an hour, I was served only after three other parties who had arrived after me. No clue to why this happened.
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❤️
This spot never disappoints! The spicy beef soup is abundant & so so flavourful! The combo plates are worth it. Lots of food, everything is delicious & fresh. I'd get the beef or shrimp (always cooked perfectly!)
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 👍
