Unassuming and casual spot that will surprise you with how flavourful the food offerings are. Everything is very authentic, served with homemade sauces and toppings. Definitely recommend if you're looking for traditional vietnamese in a cozy environment.

Chicken pho was really bad, tasteless boiled chicken and insane spicy toppings. Sorry but maybe the worst pho I’ve ever had…

Hello Pinkrton, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to kindly mention that there may have been a mix-up, as there is another restaurant with a similar name on the same street. Our restaurant is located at 1765 R. Saint-Denis, on the corner of Ontario. At Phở Anh, our chicken phở is not broiled, but sous-vide and not spicy, and we do not serve it with spicy toppings by default. The chicken is prepared fresh and gently seasoned in a traditional Northern-style broth focused on clean and delicate flavors. If your visit was indeed at our location, we would truly appreciate it if you could share more details with us so we can better understand the situation and improve your experience the way you would expect. Thank you again for your feedback.

We had excellent crispy wings (a little sweet, delicious), bun cha (incredible, smoky meat and sweet broth with crisp vegetables), and the famous four colour steamed broken rice. I would’ve normally included a picture of all this but we were hungry, it was delicious and forgot to take pictures. Will definitely be back for delicious food and kind, friendly service. Very highly recommended, thank you!

Well I must say this was BEST PHO I’ve ever had. I’d like to think I’ve had a lot of pho in my life and to my surprise I’ve never had this type of authentic Pho from Hanoi. Pho will never be the same!!! Our server shared with us the history and how it takes three days to make the broth. Truly a thing of beauty!!!!!!! You may not even notice this place when you’re walking on Rue St-Denis because it’s hidden behind construction and in a basement, but trust me you must go.

I got a bowl of chicken vermicelli and it was the most bizarre chicken I’ve ever had. I’m not sure if it was badly butchered and chewy yet super tough for that reason, or if the meat itself was on its way to expiring but it was not the most pleasant experience. It also was criminally underseasoned lol

Hello L F, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to kindly mention that there may have been a mix-up, as there is another restaurant with a similar name on the same street. Our location is at 1765 R. Saint-Denis, on the corner of Ontario. At Phở Anh, our grilled chicken vermicelli is served on a plate (not in a bowl), and our chicken is always fresh Halal, marinated with our traditional recipe, and cooked to order not pre-cooked and reheated. Because of this process, the texture you described (dry, tough, or unpleasant) would be very unusual for our kitchen. If your visit was indeed at our location, we would truly appreciate it if you could share more details with us so we can better understand and address the situation the way you would like. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to clarify this with you.

The soup is unique and "clean", the meats super tender and the homemade sauces on the table are very tasty. Nice variation to some of the more "westernized" pho in the city. The fried pork belly was a nice start to the meal as well. Ignore the renos and boarded up signs outside, go down the steps and try this spot. You will not regret it.

The food was good overall decent broth (7/10), but very mid meat (fatty/tough). The noodles are thick if you are used to the thinner ones - not a negative, just a note. They also don't provide chop suey or thai basil (update: the style pho that they serve does not usually have those condiments) but they do provide rarer condiments which is interesting (picked garlic, lemongrass sauce, etc). Their "fresh" chilis are frozen and not very spicy (they only bring one even when you ask for more). Fast service, but not very friendly (not unfriendly though). The atmosphere is nice and quiet, with good spacing in between tables.

Hello Eli, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate it. First, we sincerely apologize for not bringing more chili when you asked. That should not have happened. Just to clarify, our chili is imported from Vietnam and kept frozen (not fresh), which can affect the level of spiciness, but we should absolutely have provided more upon request. Regarding the style of our phở, we follow a traditional Northern (Nam Định) approach, where bean sprouts and Thai basil are not part of the dish. This is clearly noted on our menu and website, as we aim to stay true to the original style. Our broth is intentionally clean and not oily. We simmer it for up to 3 days to develop a natural depth of flavor, focusing on the essence of the broth itself rather than a strong spice-forward aroma. As for the beef belly, we prepare it sous vide to keep it well-seasoned while maintaining its texture, rather than making it overly soft. We also appreciate your comments on service and will continue working on improving the overall experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback—we hope to have the chance to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time.

I'd say this is a must try restaurant when you are in Montreal. We went here on the first day we visited Montreal, it's kinda suprised me. When we first saw the entrance, we were kind of hesitate as we confused if we went to the wrong place. However, after we enter the door, it's cozy and warm inside. We ordered Saigon Crispy Wings in Savory Fish Sauce, Saigon Beef Meatball Noodle Soup, Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice and Hà Nội Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli. Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos as I couldn't wait to eat, I was starving... Saigon Beef Meatball is tasty, can feel that's homemade meatballs. Charbroiled pork chop and charbroiled chicken for Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice were soft and juicy, but the rice was not enough for us. You might need to add rice if you have a good appetite. Hà Nội Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli was really good, the taste was something new to me. I would recommend you to order Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice and Hà Nội Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli if you visit them.

A man, who I assume was the restaurant’s owner, was incredibly kind, informative, and clearly passionate about his place.He came over to give us a little history about pho and its different varieties as well as welcoming us.I’ve never tried pho before because it’s been hard to find vegetarian-friendly options. The owner let us know that not only did they have vegetarian choices, but the broth is also made completely separate from anything containing meats.I really appreciated that! It was delicious, satisfying, and definitely something I’ll enjoy again.

If your looking for a truly authentic food experience, look no further. The food was delicious and very authentic. It’s not your typical pho flavours you are use too. It is very good, do not get me wrong, just not your typical pho taste. This is a million times better than. Highly recommend the chicken wings and Shrimp rolls.
