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.

It might be a family owned restaurant BUT the food went down so much! When the two sisters were on their own it was great but since the brother (or maybe cousin) is there, it has become quite bad. The food quality is very poor. Even the lettuce is pale yellow with brown ends. The Nuoc man sauce is mostly water and sugar. Same with the peanut sauce. The meat is extremely greasy. I will never go back there. Sad.

Family-owned restaurant, right in the heart of Chinatown. We've been eating their pho for years now and it's still excellent (especially their grilled chicken pho). Although the place looks kinda old, the service makes up in niceness and efficiency. You'll be in for a good meal for a very reasonable price. Recommended!
