Loved this place. The veg tofu pho was DELICIOUS & the waitress taught us how to order in Vietnamese. She was so friendly. Easy to accommodate my allergies.
I normally don't like Pho but my husband suggested we try, & this place totally changed my mind, its the best Pho of my life & now I like Pho! But only from this place :D
La pho au boeuf est incroyablement bonne! Le bouillon est excellent! Attention : seulement cash ou virement interac (ahahaha original, mais mieux que rien!)
Excellent through & through. The pho broth was the best I've ever had in North America. The service was also exceptional. So glad we found this gem during our visit.

The food was amazing, very tasty, felt homemade ❤️ The owners were very friendly & didn't forget anything despite the place being PACKED at Friday night. Let me say, it was LOUD 😁 But it was worth it. Will come back again & bring friends. Prices are very good as well. We had Pho & Pad Thai, & two portions of appetizer rolls & paid 50$. Finished everything even though portions were gigantic 😁 All in all, very happy with the visit!
I ordered takeout the lady seemed annoyed & I clearly asked for chicken pho soup & got home it was raw beef. I had to go back & then they did not have boiled chicken only grilled. I did not get anything to compensate for my wasted time. Not going back. Expensive & small portions.
Friendly efficient service. Imperial rolls were good. BYOW with a SAQ not far. Pho was alright. The beef in it was tasteless. Unfortunately it's cash only, though I suppose that keeps the prices reasonable. Bright with white walls & no music, doesn't really have much ambience, but it's a good spot for a quick bite.
Entrée de soupe au crabe délicieuse & soupe aigre & piquante aussi excellente & différente des soupes aigres & piquantes de d'autres restaurants asiatique (style chinois).
Le rouleau printanier était bon.
Le Sizzling impérial délicieux avec des fruits de mer, du poulet & du boeuf au gout impeccable, les viandes super tendres.
Le saumon caramélisé servi dans un bouillon délicieux servi avec des nouilles avec un peu d'huile de sésame.
On nous a offert un dessert gratuitement étant donné que c'était notre première visite, le service était parfait.
C'est un restos apportez votre vin en plus je le recommande fortement.
Je suis allée souper au Pho Viet sous recommandation. La nourriture était généralement bonne, l'ambiance agréable, les prix abordables & le service correct. J'ai adoré la soupe tonkinoise. Toutefois, j'ai trouvé que l'assiette que j'ai prise n'avait rien d'exceptionnelle. Bien que l'assiette en forme de coeur était mignonne, le contenu était plutôt décevant.
Je recommande ce restaurant à tous. Totalement transporté au Vietnam lors de mon expérience au Pho Viet. Définitivement la meilleure soupe tonkinoise & de loin. Service exceptionnel, prix plus qu'abordable & apportez votre vin. J'y retournerai définitivement sur une base régulière, merci Pho Viet!
