Pho Rachel is described as a welcoming spot with attentive service and good value, offering a wide pho menu and tasty sides like tofu summer rolls and vegan pho; the broth is often praised as rich and flavorful, portions are generally generous, and the overall vibe is warm and bustling, though some visits note inconsistency such as bland chicken pho with undercooked noodles or chewy pieces, while other reviews emphasize superb service, family friendly hospitality, and affordable prices.
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.
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).
Meilleur Pho à Montréal! Service adorable, efficace & rapide, it's a gift to live close by! Authentique & savoureux, je recommande les soupes Pho classique!
