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 ordered takeaway from this restaurant for the first time & it indeed did not disappoint. The spring rolls were very nicely fried & fillings delicious. The large beef pho soup was aromatic & noodles plentiful. Only feedback is that I ordered the beef, tripe & tendon but only received one tripe & tendon which was a little disappointment. Unsure if this was a once off or standard portion. If it's standard portion, I would not bother with the tripe & tendon option. Hopefully, it's a once off oversight
Un super bon service Une décoration & ambiance normale Un pho avec un bouillon vraiment délicieux, toutefois le pho végétarien est fait avec des légumes pas vraiment goûtu, je ne le recommanderais pas A revenir toutefois pour se refaire un avis !
We liked our food very much. The interior is modest. But the plates were delicious. Full of taste. The prices are very reasonable for the centre ville. Thank you very much

Pho is soooo good ! Really flavourful, tasty, & a reasonable price. The vibes of the restaurant aren't too romantic or anything but still comfortable, cozy & well decorated. Service was okay, they got everything out fast but it was hard to get a glass of water. Probably my favourite pho place in Montreal thus far!
AMAZING pho & super sweet servers! I always order the same thing (number 25 XL with regular pho noodles) & it always hits! Very fresh & consistent food quality. I love to bring my friends here & so far everyone has loved it too! I've tried many different pho places in Montreal & this is by far the BEST. Highly recommend! (these pictures are all taken different times throughout the past 2 months)
Probably one of the best phos i've had. I always stop by for lunch whenever i'm studying nearby. They are very generous with the portions for that price. I find that the extra meat they give is a lot more than other places. The service is also very quick & responsive. Not to mention very nice too
