Globalement, les avis convergent sur Pho Tay Ho comme une petite adresse vietnamienne à Montréal où le bouillon et le pho au poulet sont mis en valeur: le pho au poulet est souvent cité comme l'un des meilleurs, léger et aromatique, tandis que le pho boeuf et le tartare de boeuf sont aussi applaudis pour leur fraîcheur et leur saveur. Le menu est restreint mais les plats restent frais et savoureux, les portions généreuses et les prix raisonnables. L'authenticité et la qualité priment; l'ambiance est conviviale et efficace et les clients apprécient la rapidité du service, l'absence de réservation n'étant pas un problème majeur mais pouvant causer des files d'attente. Quelques critiques mentionnent des variations selon le moment de la journée, avec un bouillon parfois moins relevé ou une viande un peu plus maigre, et certains trouvent le service inégal. Dans l'ensemble, Pho Tay Ho est perçu comme une excellente option pour une pho vietnamienne authentique et simple, avec des plats phares comme le pho ga et le tartare de boeuf.
The very best Chicken PHO in town. The one with Chiken & Giblets is simply amazing. As good as the best ones found in Vietnam.
Be aware that Chicken Pho is a delicacy. The broth has to be flavorful but also super light & Chicken has to be tasty (mostly the broth has to be made with chicken bones/carcasses, the chicken meat is pour in just to be cooked).
Because Chicken Pho is far less in demand & it is so difficult to make it right, than even in Vietnam, only few Pho restaurants has Chicken Pho on their menu.
For more standard taste & heavier flavors, Beef Pho is the way to go.
Their Vietnamese beef tartare is also best in town. It is tasty, fresh & smooth. I only took it to share the dish around a table of 3-4
The menu is not large. You won't have much choice, but each dish is tasty & fresh !
People want more & more choices, but that tendency has a strong & wrong impact on quality. To have fresh meal dishes, it would request a lot of manpower, fresh raw products ready & waste (none fresh items discarded).
But with price spiking all over the place, price has to be increase dramatically or products has to be lower quality, or even frozen (frozen products reduce waste, cooking time & cooking staff).
At Pho Tay Ho, fresh & flavorful ingredients are highly valued, so they keep their menu relatively tiny.
All in all, it's a nice small place which deliver high quality, fresh & authentic dishes at the friendly price. Don't have to take the plane to Vietnam for an amazing Chicken Pho, just go there.
Though the broth was FANTASTIC, I think I ordered the wrong thing. I got #14 with beef & was disappointed. Low quantity & quality of beef & overloaded with freezer bag veggies. My girlfriend's chicken version had the same problems.
Still glad I went to experience the broth, but I would get something else. I look forward to going back to try their vermicelli.
Good service (fast as balls) & cute ambiance.
As it stands, Pho Nguyen downtown is still my fave!
The pho broth was seriously lacking flavor. Like for real... it tasted like it was made from some instant broth concentrate. This pho house can't be compared to the quality & taste of pho Bang or Pho Hao.
The only bright side of the Pho was the noodles. The Noodles were an easier texture to slurp 😜.
I probably wouldn't come back here again, unless I found out; that the later in the day you come, the better the broth, than I might just stop by right before they close.
Service was AMAZING & the atmosphere even more, I just wished the Pho would be amazing as well...
This is easily the best bun cha (bbq pork) I have had in Montreal! This is a dish that we do not always find in Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal & this is without a doubt the place to get it. The pho is also very tasty with a rich meaty broth. The service is fast & Pho stay Ho is the place to go for a warm meal during a cold winter night. I cannot wait to come back!
Pho Tay Ho offers a unique dining experience with its efficient & organized service. Upon arriving, you're handed a menu with a checklist where you can customize your order-it's a straightforward & fun way to ensure you get exactly what you want. The service was attentive & quick, with staff frequently checking in to ensure everything was satisfactory. The pho itself was outstanding-rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles & fresh toppings. The ingredients were noticeably high quality, & the portion sizes were generous. It's clear the kitchen takes pride in crafting each bowl. For those looking for a well-run, delicious pho spot, Pho Tay Ho is definitely worth a visit.
One of the best vietnamese restaurant in the city. The pho broth is too rich for me but my girlfriend swears by it. I come here for the house specialties. Big portion, abundant in vegetables & herbs, great taste

Usually pretty good but today the chicken was extremely overcooked & very dry, like shoe leather. 3 years later & the beef is dry & tough. Broth is good, & LOTS of veggies!
Peaceful place with kind & quick service in a side street of the Mile End. The pho dac biet was a large portion, & while super delicious, the broth tasted more of chicken than a traditional & authentic pho broth. Generous amounts of meat & herbs elevated the dish & kept it fresh & light. Pork & shrimp fresh rolls were herby & homemade, the perfect texture of the wrap & noodles indicating it was freshly wrapped. I would come back!
Very good broth very generous portion of meat & veggies in the large soups. I could tell on the phone when I ordered the atmosphere was not going to disappoint, & it didn't. The take out packaging is done with great attention to detail & care for the produce. The reusable bag is a great feature; I will be using it to come back in the future! Staff is very professional & kind 10/10 make sure to call & pickup or dine-in to support the business directly.

Cozy place for a hearty bowl of Pho! The bowls are generous & the broth is delicious. Service is very quick but our appetizers were forgotten & we had to remind them. I would come back again!
They used to be known for the best chicken pho in town. I haven't been there for years. I recently got takeout for supper. I ordered the chicken pho, the grilled pork vermicelli, & bun cha Hanoi. Also got the chicken salad & the beed salad. The pho is still as generous as before, but the chicken & the broth were lacking flavour. The grilled pork was dried & hard to chew. I used to love their chicken salad, but this time, the mixture was missing something. Maybe not enough lime or msg. The beef salad was ok, but I find it weird that they put canh chu leaves inside. The food was ok but kinda miss the old flavors.
🌟Best Vietnamese Restaurant in Montréal! 📌Tonkinese Beef Noodle Soup The broth is delicious & extraordinary. The best pho I had in life❤️ 📌Pork Chops with Rice A defiantly must order from Pho Tay Ho.
Went for lunch a couple of times & tried the beef Pho, sometimes the broth was somewhat tasty & other times quite watery lacking flavour. Will not return, there are better restaurants in Montreal that are more consistent in the flavor of their Pho.
