Pho Cristal seems to be highly appreciated for its pho and bánh mì, with frequent comments about freshness, generous portions, and great flavor. The service is often described as fast, warm, and welcoming, with good value for money. A few reviews do mention slower periods, busy times, or order mistakes. Overall, it’s a solid option if you’re looking for tasty and affordable Vietnamese food in Montreal.
A light yet fragrant pho broth, the raw beef is good quality and beef balls were delicious. A great local vietnamese pho restaurant for your noodle fix.
Banana ice cream was excellent
The food here suits my taste perfectly, and this banana ice cream is delicious too, you should definitely try it.
As you walk in, you are greeted with a warm welcome from Nana. His smile and his vibe are amazing. The sandwiches are amazing, cheap prices and made in front of you and with care, I am came all the way from Brossard for this sandwich!!!
Very good and fast service
A crazy person walked in the restaurant and tried to fight me. But besides that, the food was impeccable and reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back.
Wow
If you looking for a snack they go great sandwich!
Their standards have dropped from the least time we visited Montréal in November 2025. They messed up my daughter's pad thai and put shrimp in it; she's is highly allergic to shrimp, then they brought out chicken in the pad thai when it was just supposed to be a vegetable pad Thai that she ordered. After the third attempt, the brocolli was still frozen and the tofu was very salty.
Cheap and good
The best pho near my house. I will be here every week from now on.
Great service and bowls!
Very nice affordable spot with high quality pho
This place is one of the hidden gems of Montreal food scene. The pho soup has amazing traditional flavour (i'm a Vietnamese) and I got a large size bowl full of tender beef for $13! Banh mi sandwich is also good and the staff takes time to reheat for max crispiness. Will definitely come back
Lovely little business here in Montreal. Excellent Banh Mi for an even better price. Plus the staff is so nice and friendly
Well priced and tasty!
We travelled from Australia. The Pho here is good with lots of beefs and noodles. The taste is close with those restaurants in Hanoi. This restaurant is better than any Pho restaurant I could find in the Aus. The owners are very friendly, nice chatting with them and they suggested us places to visit around Montreal.
Love this place, beef pho is amazing 😍
Super
If you’re in a rush, this is probably not the place for you. It’s a small spot, so it gets crowded, and you’ll likely be waiting a while for your order. Service can be slow, and there may be some miscommunication at times. But if you come in with patience, it’s actually a really special experience. There’s this sweet lady taking care of everything, which gives the whole place a warm, homey feel. The menu is simple. The pho comes with beef only but it’s very authentic. I personally enjoyed the pho more than the vermicelli.
Cannot say enough good things about the place, their Bahn mi was so delicious as was the pad Thai. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices
It really deserves the 5 stars! It was delicious, excellent service! Copieux and very nice flavors.
Great bánh mì - fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and good balance. Worth coming back.
Good service and it provided me lots of veg when I take away
Super nice place for banh mi I will always comeback great service !
