Pho Bac 97 is easily one of the best comfort food spots in Verdun. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The ambiance is simple but cozy, and the whole place feels genuinely authentic and family-run in the best possible way. The lady serving us was incredibly kind, attentive, and polite the entire time. You can tell they really care about customers and take pride in what they do. Service was also impressively fast — our food came out super quickly even though the restaurant was busy. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and homemade. The broth was rich and comforting, the ingredients were fresh, and portions were generous without being overpriced. You get amazing quality for the price here, which is becoming rare these days. Very affordable and 100% worth it. This is the kind of local restaurant you want to support because they consistently deliver good food, good service, and a great overall experience. Definitely coming back regularly. Highly recommended if you’re in Verdun and craving Vietnamese food.

Disappointed with the experience here. I specifically asked if the sugar cane juice was fresh, and the lady said to me it was. After paying $7, the sugar cane juice is actually from a can. If I wanted canned juice, I could’ve poured it myself. I would’ve appreciated the honesty upfront. The issue isn’t the price — it’s being misled. Transparency goes a long way.

The Phở Bò broth and Phở Gà broth is amazing. Its cooked over hours to get that rich deep flavors out of the bones. Everytime I return to Montreal I alway book my hotel close to the restaurant so I can have this authentic Phở Dặc Biệt which is hard to find these days in North America. It was a shame that this time it was cash only since there card machine is out of service during our whole trip. We hardly carry around cash these days. The price on the menu is tax included already so no need for calculation if your going with a large group.

Had the combo #3 and my friend had one of the other beef dishes. Fantastic food and good prices. My food also came with a mini pho (not pictured) which had some really tasty broth. Overall don't think you can beat this place in terms of value especially if you get one of the combos. The restaurant itself is quiet, the food came out quickly, and the woman serving us was super friendly. Overall a gem.

My family have enjoyed Vietnamese cuisine across a number of US cities. Our favorite has always been bowls of hot, steaming pho. While visiting MTL, we stopped in and Pho Bac 97 truly serbes the best pho we've ever had. The pho broth comes from hours of simmering beef bones -- the old fashioned time-honored method to make the best stock. It has a depth and unctiousness which no one else's pho stock every had. Stop by and treat yourself to our gold standard of pho at Pho Bac 97.

Smelled very bad and food quality was very bad. Definitely not clean or fresh here. Also, watch your bill at the end and verify the price charged matches the menu pricing.

Great place for Pho. I love pho and we have many great places in Toronto/Markham. This place has pho that has great depth and flavour. The grilled chicken has a smoky flavour that lingers even when in the broth. 10/10 - go for the XL grilled chicken pho - you’ll thank me later!

This restaurant used to be good when I went 5 years ago. Now the taste is more bland and ordinary.
