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.
Update : I have add some pictures

I was here 3 years ago & their quality was superb & food was so delicious & unforgettable! I would said it beated most of the Pho in Toronto 3 years ago! I will never forget the taste & quality of their food! Unfortunately three years later in 2025, I am so disappointed! It just become a regular pho, nothing special about this place anymore! The taste is different & the portion is smaller! Any pho in Toronto can match it's quality.... It's just go from a superb pho to a regular pho restaurant! I have to find a different place when I am in Montreal next time!
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...
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.
The pho was really good, love the quality of beef as well. however the service was HORRIBLE. The waiter was sideyeing us & we asked a bowl of pho without onions & green onions, but we got one with onions. We kindly asked them to take out the onion, but the soup came back with no topping at all (they took out the cilantro too)...
