Reviews of Pho Rachel describe a captivating broth in vegan pho and generous portions that make bowls feel substantial. Tofu summer rolls, imperial rolls, and other menu items are praised for flavor and freshness, with the grilled meats plate and a grilled chicken sandwich noted as tasty. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with staff going the extra mile and prices described as very reasonable. Takeout is convenient, with broth served on the side and ample food, and the papaya salad is recommended for spice lovers. On the occasional visit a chicken pho containing chewy tendon pieces is cited as a flaw and a reason some patrons may not return. Overall Pho Rachel is seen by many as offering strong pho, good value, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages repeat visits in Montreal.
At some point while eating the vegan pho I looked up & realized that for the last 10 minutes I haven't thought about anything other than eating. A very captivating broth. The tofu summer roll was tasty also, & chunky!

I have gotten pho soup often before & it was pretty good. But today I am not sure what happened. My chicken pho was full of weird chicken pieces, full of tendons, really chewy. It's like they scraped leg meat as opposed to the usual chicken thighs. $20 for that is really ridiculous. I won't come back.
I've been going to this place for almost 2 years now & they never stopped surprising me with their pho soups. In my humble opinion I can say that it is the best pho soup in Montreal hands down. The service is very good & the music is always there to accompany this unique experience.
wow our server was so friendly! we came in about 30 minutes before close (i know i know) but he was so happy to serve us. the pho was AMAZING with huge portions - broth was perfectly seasoned, veggies were crisp, & the tofu was very flavourful. excellent price as well.

The young man who served me & my family was very attentive. It made for an all around pleasant experience. We had imperial rolls, chicken soup & the grilled meats plate- all of the food definitely tastes like it's made with love! If you like spicy food I recommend the papaya salad it was excellent
je suis abonnée à la soupe wonton repas! C'est plein de légumes & les dumplings sont parfaits. Ils mettent le bouillon à part pour le takeout & il y a en toujours plus qu'assez
Just the nicest people, with great food at a great price. They litterally offered me tea on the house on a cold february day while waiting for my take out :)
Today my friends & I came to try & appreciate the quality of this place. It was the first time we saw such a neat & attractive bowl of Pho. The young female staff was cute, enthusiastic & quick, I saw her serve many tables & smile when bringing the food. The price is very reasonable - can be said to be cheap compared to other places. We will come back.😋

I've been here before & liked it. That said, I recently went at 8:10 pm & their Google Business Page stated they were open until 9 pm. When I asked for a table for one the person abruptly said no, we are closed. I was confused as people were eating & it does not take long to serve nor consume pho. I was offered take out it declined & I'll go elsewhere for now as that was a rude & awkward experience.
I went in at around 2:30pm on a Monday for lunch. I was the only one in the restaurant. The server was cordial & attentive. I ordered the beef pho noodle soup, medium sized & it was ready within 5 minutes. The broth was absolutely delicious. Best broth I've had in a while. The serving of meat was pretty good too. It was served with a plentiful amount of bean sprouts, coriandre & lime on the side. I'd definitely recommend for a quick meal.
Cozy, clean, & relaxing inside with a family atmosphere. Service is always fast. Had the pho with chicken & vegetables, the broth was rich & well seasoned. Great place to come by yourself or with your family. I come & eat here once a month or so, I never leave disappointed. A few steps away from busy St.Laurent.
