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.
It's a cute little place! The price is very fair, we paid 13$ for the medium bowl, & 14$ for the large beef pho. Service was also very quick. Taste wise, it's okay, the broth is a little too salty & the meat was a bit chewy. You can also see in the picture that the green veggies are looking a little sad. The noodles were really nice though, & the portions are good for the price!
Cutes restaurant i ever been, the food comes really quick & sooooo yummy. I love the spicy beef noodle, sooo authentic taste & look exactly like my hometown. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend

Nice little restaurant with a handful of vegan & vegetarian options. I started off with some vegé imperial rolls which were tasty & densely packed. For our mains, we got the vegetarian pho (made with veg broth) & tofu crispy noodles. The pho was good & full of tofu & veggies. The crispy noodles itself lacked some flavor but the tofu & veggies were decently flavored. Staff were really nice, good experience overall.
I dont get the high ratings. The chicken in my pho was definitely not fresh (it had the old cooked chicken taste). Clearly leftover meat. The fried banana is half a banana wrapped in a wonton wrapper...not typical & wayyyyy too expensive for what you get. I had viet fried banana before in real batter that came with ice cream for cheaper. The broth does not have much flavor except salt. The noodles are not your typical again (more spaghettini like) but I didn't dislike them. The extra little fried onions sprinkled on top of the pho were nice but this is the only positive thing about it. They also forgot to include the little bag with bean sprouts/sauces/basil in my take out...I think there's way better pho out there if you really want good pho & youre down to travel a bit further (e.g., Chinatown).

My favourite Pho in the city. Always hot, fresh & so flavourful with generous portions. It's also very clean inside & the service is always friendly. I would highly recommend the rare beef soup :)
