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.
The only thing bad about this store is that it's not big eneugh & it's jam packed all the time. The food is amazing, can't recommend eneugh. Ive been going regularly as a regular for almost a year now & it never stops blowing me away all the time. It's genuinly amazing.

Went out of the way to pay visit to this place again after visiting over a year ago. Fortunately, the food, ok service, price was just as good as the first time however won't be returning due to dishes/ bowls having been switched to melamine. Either this is complete ignorance on the owner's behalf or shows that they don't care. Serving hot beverages in melamine can cause the plastic to break down, leaching chemical compounds like melamine & formaldehyde into the liquid.

One of the best Vietnamese places I've been to downtown Montreal. Ordered some Pho, grilled chicken & spring rolls, everything was so fresh & tasted amazing. The service was extremely fast, was in & out in 5 minutes & their prices are extremely competitive. Definitely recommend this place if you want good comforting traditional Vietnamese dishes
The food was chef kiss!! I went with my aunt & we got a soup & a combo & i felt like my tongue was meeting good for a second! I had the combo of porc & beef & they had this tangy goodness that pairs super well with the salad & rice portions that it comes with! The portions are super huge & are at a good price. I really love this place & the food choices are amazing.

very fast service took 2 min of wait. The broth was very light & authentic (the best part), Coming from someone who usually don't like to drink pho broth because of how artifical & heavy it feels. Their Sriracha is spicier than usual, a bonus for me. Their beef is a bit different they use leaner & slighlty thicker piece, I have a neutral opinion, but it does make the dish lighte
Great service, very cozy feeling. The pho was very good & the broth was wonderful. I had an amazing coconut milk drink with red bean.
Fried chicken is amazing & the noodles with chicken are delicious
I've ordered from here a few times through Uber Eats & takeout. Waitress was really nice. The food is always excellent. I've only tried their spicy beef pho & grilled chicken vermicelli plates.
Today it was boneless chicken thigh with the later however the last time it was chicken breast. I much prefer thighs.

My boyfriend & I came here randomly & it turned out to be the best pho we've ever had. The broth is just amazing, the meat is super tender. Everything about it was so amazing. We didn't talk the entire time & just savoured every bite hahaha
My favourite pho restaurant in the city! It helps that it's convenient but I love it here. Food is always great as well as the service! It also feels tucked away because of the walk-down. I will always recommend here!
