Pho Thanh Long is described as a consistently solid Vietnamese spot with fast, friendly service, a bright setting and enjoyable music, and generous portions that pair well with delicious pho and a variety of dishes at good value; while some reviews note portions can be slightly smaller than average for the price and the dining room is not glamorous, the overall experience remains reliable, authentic in feel, and popular for casual meals, late nights and dessert options.
To be honest, nothing really stood out. The food was okay, but not memorable enough to make me want to come back. The customer service was also quite minimal - not bad, but not welcoming either.
What disappointed me the most was the portion of meat. I ordered the curry chicken with rice & vegetables, as well as the fried noodles with chicken & shrimp. Both dishes came with very little protein - only about 3 pieces of shrimp, & the chicken portion was also quite small. It felt like we were mostly paying for vegetables rather than the main ingredients.
I've been to other Vietnamese restaurants, & for a similar price, you can definitely get better portions & more satisfying plates elsewhere.
Overall, it's not terrible, but there's nothing that would make me return.

Excellent, le service est vraiment rapide & tout à fait courtois. C'est toujours stable & constant, ni dans le personnel ni dans le menu. C'est mon restaurant vietnamien préféré depuis des années ! Je suis complètement fou du numéro 27 !
A quaint spot on Sainte Catherine. A bit gritty, ok for a quick meal if you crave a bowl of pho, not the most memorable, just a one off. The portion is slightly smaller than average pho bowls but prices are less, accordingly. The menu has lots of other dishes including dessert. Good location, convenient for patrons staying at one of many hotels one street over on Rene Levesque. Like most food places in Montreal it only opens at 11am onwards. No breakfast hours.
