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.

This was our third visit, and once again, we had such a lovely experience. Besides the delicious food, we especially came back to see Ms. Ngoc — a truly friendly, warm, and lovely server - who often worked in dayshift. Her kindness and positive energy really make a difference and are hard to find elsewhere. We hope to see her back again soon. Such a great team!

Called about 20 minutes ahead for a group of 4. When we arrived, the place was packed — full house — and yet we were seated immediately with no wait. That alone deserves a mention. This was actually my fourth visit, and it continues to deliver. Ordering was quick, the menu is simple and straight to the point, and the real star here is the food. There was a new item on the menu: Mì Bò Kho — braised beef with egg noodles. Even with the restaurant being slammed, the food quality was solid and consistent. Their condiment tray is really good and honestly sets them apart from other pho spots — it elevates everything on the table. One hiccup: one dish for our group of four was forgotten. After a quick reminder, it came out, and they kindly added a complimentary chè thanh nhiệt, which was a nice gesture and appreciated. Yes, service was on the slower side — but given how busy it was, it was completely understandable. The bill? Under $30 per person, taxes and tip included. Hard to beat. Will I come back? Yes. Do I recommend it? Absolutely. My go-to recommendations: Bún Bò Huế (BBH) Their tamarind spicy paste — don’t skip it. Solid spot, good value, and consistent food even under pressure.

The pho is good, but the extra boiled egg suggested by the restaurant to add to your order is just alright, nothing out of this world. One drawback: waiting time. The service is slow, kitchen quite slow.

Hello Albert, Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the phở. The boiled egg is indeed an optional add-on—some guests love it, while others find it simply complementary, and we fully respect that. We sincerely apologize for the waiting time. During busy periods, both service and kitchen can be slower than we’d like, and we’re actively working on improving our flow while keeping quality consistent. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you again at Phở Anh. 🍜
