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.

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.
Been coming here 15 years ago, looks like my favourite recipe are still on the menu, lots of fresh herbs, the salad pho tay ho are just the best to me. The staff is lovely.
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!
