This spot is amazing! Great prices, classic Vietnamese selection including pho, authentic, fresh, delicious! Cash only but they also have an atm. I got the vermicelli noodles with shrimp and beef. Good portion and only 15 dollars with tax included! My wife loved their dish as well: minced pork and grilled chicken vermicelli. 100 percent coming back here as much as I can! read more

Pho Bang New York - Vermicelli w/ shrimp and beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

tucked away in montreal's chinatown, this feels like one of those old school neighbourhood spots where you come for a straightforward vietnamese meal, not a polished dining experience. we stopped by for a late monday lunch as a party of four, and the vibe was exactly what you'd expect from a no frills chinatown restaurant: casual, functional, and busy enough to make you feel like the locals know something you don't. the service, on the other hand, was very much on the "you'll be fine" side of things. once we were seated, we were pretty much left to our own devices. the staff took our order, brought out the food, and that was about it. we asked for four bowls and were given only two. one of our drinks was also wrong, and it took a bit of explaining to get the correct one. she never took the wrong drink away, and we thought they had forgotten the order, by the time it finally arrived, we had already finished eating. so, definitely not the place to go if you're looking for attentive, doting service. but honestly, it also feels like part of the character here. there's no fuss, no drawn out meal, and no one hovering around wondering if you'd like another glass of water. you come in, eat, and get on with your day. i started with the vietnamese iced coffee, which came already mixed rather than with the traditional slow drip. it was cold, sweet, strong, and exactly what i needed to wake me up for a late lunch. no complaints there. we also shared a shrimp and pork salad roll to start. nothing fancy, just a straightforward take on the classic that worked nicely as a light appetizer with two dipping sauces before the mains. the highlight was the extra large bowl of pho. the broth was on the lighter side, with a delicate flavour that wasn't overly rich, salty, or heavy. we also ordered some kind of minced meat and rice dish, which was equally simple and satisfying. and i think that's really the appeal here. vietnamese comfort food, generous portions, a casual setting, and very little fuss. the food does most of the talking, and everything else is pretty much background noise. one thing to know before you go: it's cash only. luckily, there's an atm inside the restaurant, so if you show up cashless, you won't have to go wandering around chinatown looking for an atm. overall, this is the kind of place that feels much more local than polished. a late monday lunch in chinatown, a giant bowl of pho, minimal service, cash only, and absolutely no frills. sometimes that's exactly the vibe you're looking for. read more

Came around the dinner rush. All the seats were taken so we waited for a few minutes for someone to leave before they cleared a table for us (and the next party). Service was ok. Prompt to order and brought out our food. The party next to us shared their hoison and sriracha with us since it was available and a bit hard to flag someone down. The pho had multiple size options. I didn't get the biggest one. And my partner got a vermicelli bowl with spring rolls and bbq pork. The pho was good and the served it with the sprouts, basil and lime on the side. Good size and warm for the cold night! The vermicelli bowl was also good. Spring rolls were nice and fried, the pork had a good grilled flavor and the size was fair. Inside was just rows of tables and it was a bit chaotic and busy and a little loud from all the chatter. As others have noted, this place is CASH only! read more

I just loce this place. Small but food is serve fast and people don't stay an hour. Eat and leave, very efficient. There is a big variety of food.

Either small or large, it's cheap for the size. read more

Delicious Vietnamese food! Very nice ambiance with well appointed furnishings. Service was fast, polite and very efficient. I highly recommend this place. They serve shrimp! Which for me was my first time in a Vietnamese restaurant in north America. Normally I would have to get it in Vietnam. Finding this place was so fortunate for us. Remember to bring your cash as this is a cash only restaurant. Understandable to keep administrative costs down and deliver good quality food. Smart business practice. read more

Disappointing experience at a restaurant in Montréal Chinatown. On my first visit (March 17, 2026), my bill was CAD 35. Since I didn't have cash, I was asked to send CAD 40 via e-transfer, described as a "service fee." At the time, I understood this as a payment-related charge, but later realized it was actually treated as a tip. No receipt was provided. On my second visit (March 19, 2026), after paying CAD 41, I left a small tip in coins. A staff member then told me I should leave around CAD 4-5. When I refused and explained that tipping is optional, his attitude became rude and he told me to leave ("get out", "don't come again"). There was also no clear notice before ordering that the restaurant only accepts cash or e-transfer. In my view, the payment process lacked transparency, the "service fee" was misleading, and the pressure to tip was inappropriate. I have submitted a complaint to the Québec Consumer Protection Office (OPC). Expérience décevante dans ce restaurant du Chinatown de Montréal. Lors de ma première visite (17 mars 2026), mon addition était de 35 CAD. Comme je n'avais pas d'argent comptant, on m'a demandé de payer 40 CAD par virement électronique, en indiquant qu'il s'agissait de " frais de service ". À ce moment-là, je pensais qu'il s'agissait de frais liés au paiement. J'ai ensuite compris que ce montant était en réalité traité comme un pourboire. Aucun reçu ne m'a été fourni. Lors de ma deuxième visite (19 mars 2026), après avoir payé 41 CAD, j'ai laissé un petit pourboire en monnaie. Un employé m'a alors dit que je devais laisser environ 4 à 5 CAD. Lorsque j'ai refusé en expliquant que le pourboire est facultatif, son attitude est devenue désagréable et il m'a demandé de quitter (" get out ", " don't come again "). De plus, il n'est pas clairement indiqué avant la commande que le restaurant accepte uniquement l'argent comptant ou le virement électronique. Je considère que le processus de paiement manque de transparence, que la description des frais est trompeuse et que la pression exercée concernant le pourboire est inappropriée. J'ai déjà soumis une plainte auprès de l'Office de la protection du consommateur (OPC). 在蒙特利尔唐人街一家餐厅的两次消费体验都不太好。 第一次（3月17日）账单是35加元，因为没有现金，被要求通过e-transfer支付40加元，对方称是"service fee"。当时我理解为支付相关费用，后来才意识到实际上被当作小费处理，而且没有提供任何收据。 第二次（3月19日）支付41加元后，我给了一些硬币作为小费，店员却要求我必须给4到5加元。我说明小费是自愿的之后，对方态度明显变差，并让我离开（"get out""don't come again"）。 另外，进店前并没有明确说明只接受现金或e-transfer。 整体来看，收费过程缺乏透明度，"service fee"的说法具有误导性，同时对小费存在不当施压。我已向魁北克消费者保护机构（OPC）提交投诉。 read more

Rude and terrible attitude staff. Cash only and does not display it on the outside. We were the first to sit down and everyone around us ordered and was served tea 30 minutes before us. Basic drinks like tea or water did not come till 30 minutes later and we had to remind them that we did not get our tea. Then another 30 minutes to order and when asked questions about their menu, the staff gave us an attitude. After seeing how others came after us and received their food, we asked the waiter for our Coke that we ordered in advance and he gave us an attitude. When the Coke cake, it exploded on us and he did not care. We also asked him for a refill in tea and he never brought the pot back. We spoke to the owner of the situation in which he was siding with his staff . They truly did not understand that the customer comes first. For the food - do not get the grilled chicken pho - ridiculous, broth was not strong, and food was not good. They pride themself with New York in their name but it does not live up to the expectation. Table and floor was wet and sticky. Not the cleanest. read more

It was lunch time on a Sunday and craving for some authentic pho. Most of the nearby restaurants had long lineups and we settled for Pho Bang New York with no lineup, and it was getting pretty late. We ordered 2 identical medium size rare beef Pho, the bare basic and nothing sophisticated in order that we can get our order fast. What is basic for one is not basic for others as it took a long time to get just 2 bowls of Pho. The soup was hot but not boiling hot as I would have expected. Taste was just OK, and the amount of meat was satisfactory. I was sitting at the end table facing the kitchen entrance and I can tell you that the sight was not a good one. I can tell when hygiene is not on the top priority list. I dread to visualize how the interior kitchen would look like. We finished our lunch and went to the cashier to foot the bill and a sign " Cash Only" took me by total surprise. I do not always carry cash on me but luckily I had just enough to settle the bill. I subsequently read the reviews and crystal clear that I was not the only one caught with the Cash Only situation. This teaches me a lesson of not reading the reviews before stepping in a restaurant or business. read more

So... I have eaten at the NY chapters often and this one mostly reflects the original. The noodle and meats are well seasoned. BUT skip the spring rolls. SAD reflection of what is customary. It was mostly cabbage which traditionally isn't even an ingredient. Another ding is my male waiter who used my table as a serving station. Once is understandable, but not throughout my meal. CASH ONLY read more

Delicious pho broth. Soooo much meat in my soup. They have bun bo hue on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Line out the door for a reason. This place is always busy and after eating here twice I understand why. Looking at everyone's dishes I wanted to try so many things because everything looked so good. I liked the soup. It was light and meaty with good seasoning. It was unique and not overpowering at all. Perfect amount of meat and noodle ratio. And I can honestly say I had meat with every bite until I finished my bowl. The bun bo hue was delicious but I liked the classic pho dac biet. It was so delicious. And I am extremely picky with my vietnaemse soups bc my boyfriend is vietnamese. A must in montreal chinatown. If you only eat in one place in chinatown in montreal. This is the place to go. read more

Pho Bang New York - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I'm from New York so I've been to the Pho Bang there. I visited Montreal over New Years weekend and lots of shops were closed on New Year's Day. However, you can always rely on Chinatown to be open. I was looking forward to some comfort food since I've had lots of pastries and poutine over the past few days anyway. It was packed inside but thankfully, we didn't have to wait for a table (however, there were multiple parties waiting when we left). The menu is smaller than the ones in New York but still had the classic rice and noodle dishes. We ended up getting the pork summer rolls, grilled pork + crab patty + shredded pork rice plate, and the classic pho. The pork summer rolls were disappointing. It had the same shredded pork as the rice plate but it was bland and had no flavor. The fish sauce was also pretty strong / smelly. The rice plate was delicious, a classic. Their crab patty was one of the best things on the plate. It was warm and had imitation crab. The grilled pork was decent, a bit dry. The shredded pork, again, had very little flavor but we used the fish sauce to help. The pho dac biet was very warming on a cold winter day. It had brisket, tripe, and raw meat added on top which was basically just brisket too. So basically, it was just brisket and tripe. I wished it had more ingredients like the ones in New York. It was also an XL but it really didn't seem like there was more noodles / ingredients. It was just a bigger bowl with more soup. The noodles were the perfect texture though! If you're looking for a simple, affordable, comforting meal, this is it. If you're looking for impeccable service and high quality food, this probably isn't it. I enjoyed it but it's a lower tier than the one in New York. read more

***WARNING THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS*** CASH ONLY So, because I have been paying everything with a credit card, I did not check the exchange rate until I departed the restaurant. My meal was $35.72 Canadien and the cashier told me 31.00 USA. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN $27.30. He added in a tip, plus I gave $35.00 because I always tip. The food was tasty, just be aware that you may pay more money than you plan to pay. Also, I didn't see a sign out front that said CASH ONLY, WHICH WOULD HAVE PROMPTED ME TO CHECK THE EXCHANGE RATE. *** AVERTISSEMENT ILS NE PRENENT PAS LES CARTES DE CRÉDIT *** UNIQUEMENT EN ESPÈCES. Ainsi, comme j'ai tout payé avec une carte de crédit, je n'ai vérifié le taux de change qu'après avoir quitté le restaurant. Mon repas coûtait 35,72 $ canadiens et le caissier m'a indiqué 31,00 USA. ÇA aurait dû coûter 27,30 $. Il a ajouté un pourboire et j'ai donné 35 $. 00 parce que je donne toujours un pourboire. La nourriture était bonne, sachez simplement que vous risquez de payer plus que ce que vous envisagez de payer. De plus, je n'ai pas vu de panneau devant la porte indiquant CASH UNIQUEMENT, CE QUI M'AURAIT INVITÉ À VÉRIFIER LE TAUX DE CHANGE. *** CẢNH BÁO HỌ KHÔNG NHẬN THẺ TÍN DỤNG *** CHỈ CÓ TIỀN MẶT Vì vậy, vì tôi đã thanh toán mọi thứ bằng thẻ tín dụng nên tôi đã không kiểm tra tỷ giá hối đoái cho đến khi rời nhà hàng.

Pho Bang New York - Exchange rate for 06/13/2024. - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Out of all the pho places in Montreal Chinatown, we decided to come back here as i recall the food being quite good in the past. And after several days of eating pasta and sandwiches, I needed some asian food in my stomach. One thing that was noticeably different this time compared the the last time we were here (a few years ago) was that it was pretty empty inside. Last time it was packed full! I chalked it up to maybe it was still early for dinner, just after 5p. We ordered the #1 special XL pho, grilled chicken and minced pork dry noodle (bun), and a grilled pork, ground pork and layered egg broken rice. The food came very quickly as food normally does at any pho restaurant. However the food was mediocre at best this time. the flavours were not quite there. the pho came in a large bowl, was mostly soup, some brisket, some flank and some raw beef. I didn't see any meat balls, or tripe. the pork for the broken rice dish was tough. The only dish that was better wasn't the bun. Next time i'll likely check out the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area if the craving hits. read more

Friends told us about this restaurant. They loved it, but our experience was totally different. When we arrived place was packed and nobody spoke French or English. They took us to a table for 4 and then got upset because we were a party of 2. Moved us to another table. Everybody was having soup so one ordered soup and other another dish. Well we both were not impressed and made us sick on our stomachs. Just our experience, but we won't go back. read more

First time trying pho. It all started as we were walking in Chinatown and now ticked this place had a line up out the door, was kinda odd in my opinion but figured it had to have something special. Decided to try it, like moved fast and we got seated. Decided to try their "7" on the menu, I would tell you what it's named but I have no idea haha. All I know is it came decently fast, very well seasoned and all flavours. Server offered chopsticks a fork and a soup spoon/scooper. The quality of the meat in the pho soup was really good. I would highly recommend this place for efficiency and taste read more

Fast service. Pay at front desk / cashier. Ordered the safest choice special pho. I ordered the extra large as I were starving after skipping lunch on my train ride into Montreal. As the first meal in Montreal, it is great. Definitely a family restaurant. Lots of kids around. The find is slightly above average, though it is not to find a good bowl of similar pho else where in other places. The decor is special and definitely show old style Vietnamese which I love. I don't think I will miss that food, but definitely a place to try if you are new into town and trying to find a great eat with family. read more

Had Vietnamese food after quite some time and i must say I am impressed. We had two different kinds of vermicelli dishes and it was sooo good. The beef and the chicken were perfectly cooked and they were so juicy. The portion was way more than what I would say generous and the staffs were so friendly and cordial. We finished it off with Vietnamese coffee which was also great. Would definitely recommend anyone to try this place. Given the COVID situation it might be scary to go out for eating but this place is very cautious and maintain the numbers of people who can be inside at a time read more

Food was delish, best vegetarian imperial rolls I've ever had. Served me free tea. I got the grilled chicken. And vegetable pho. The carrots are whole baby carrots which is weird but the broth and chicken were awesome so I can't complain about that. I can however complain that when I asked for a 10 back they tried to just give me a 5 and they don't accept cards, simply cash with an atm in there that has a 3$ withdraw charge. The tables are quite close to one another which makes it a bit crowded and impeaches on private conversations but overall the food is yummy enough and priced well enough that I would go back read more

Food is above average. Service is absolutely terrible. The young kid with L elbow/ forearm tattoo was extremely rude and unprofessional, took my order wrong and yet still argued he had it right. I specified to have my raw beef to be on the side for my pho. When my pho came, the raw beef were in my pho. I clarified with him that this was not what I ordered, he was not receptive and became very argumentative and states that "that is on the side" when clearly the raw beef were all in the broth in the pho and was the same as the other pho my friends had ordered. read more

Almost got scammed for lunch today. The price on the hand written receipt was a lot more expensive compared to the printed receipt.

Also unapologetic afterwards read more

Extremely poor service. Don't know where the hype coming from. Spoiled soup on my backpack but no staff wanted to clean up or apologize.

I know... why I am I have Pho when I am in Montreal? And I even there twice during my short stay?!! Yes, Pho Bang New York is definitely worth a repeat visit. I suggest just order the Pho... the broth is one of the best I have... or the best I remembered... Great aroma, well seasoned with herbs, rich with beef flavour..... This restaurant is definitely packed! We ended up sharing a table with others and even have to step over people to get out! The washroom is so clean... dare I say smell good?! One of the cleanest washrooms in a Vietnamese Pho joint! Good washroom, excellent food... that really deserves a repeat visit!! read more

We have been coming for 10+ years and the food is always fast and delicious. This last time, there was one server who was rude and refused to take our order because we didn't order enough for the seats we were taking up (note that we ordered 4 dishes for 5 people AND it was 2pm and not busy). Luckily another server came to take our order but that one server really soured our experience and will rethink coming back. read more

Here's a New York perspective (coming from someone who has easy access to Viet food in NYC) of this place. In Montreal's Chinatown where you easily have 5+ Viet restaurants along 1 street, this place surely stands out based on the crowds it attracts (plus above average Yelp reviews). Because there's multiple Pho Bang in NY itself, I'm not sure if this is linked at all. PHO BO VIEN (beef balls) - Excellent clear broth, but the flavor profile isn't as strong, but it can be fixed with sriracha and hoisin sauce. Very mild complaint. I'm not as thirsty afterwards so I'm assuming no MSG was added. SPRING ROLLS - Not as good to what I'm used to. Smaller/ more skinny, wrapped and fried with an egg roll type wrapper instead of a rice paper. Rare occurrence, but Kudos to them offering a vegetarian version for non-meat eaters though. Rice Vermicelli with Grilled Pork (thit nuong) - Wifey ordered it and it was probably the most balanced dish I've had in a while in terms of tender and flavor of the meat. I cant judge this place against the other neighboring restaurants, but this seems to be a solid Montreal standard. Turnover was quick on a crowded Friday evening. Cleanliness is hard to find in traditional Viet restaurants, but this place is relatively clean. CASH ONLY. read more

We were looking for a place to eat one night and were just going to randomly choose a place, and then we walked by here and saw that it was jam-packed, line waiting to be seated and so we all looked at one another and walked in thinking: "Wow, the Pho must be amazing!!" and... it was ok, definitely not the worst Pho I've had but it wasn't the best either. I guess I just don' t get it because the Pho back home is so much more rich and flavorful, this just tasted like slightly flavored water to me. The service was ok, and the seating is tight so be prepared to sit next to someone who you don't know. I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't be a in a hurry to return here. read more

Suck service and especially the owner is very rude and snobbish. They will serve those groups with more people first, even you are coming first, you already sit down at the table, they will ask you to go out just because your group is smaller. And they are trying to evade tax which I will definitely make a claim. read more

It's a busy place for sure, especially during lunch. Expect to eat, finish, and be immediately out if the place is busy. The menu is basic and simple, although they do have some specials on weekends. Don't expect anything out of the ordinary though. I had the large #3, which was the flank and tripe. It was pretty good, though not exceptional per se. I've had better in a few other pho places in Montreal. Prices and portions were reasonable though, and they definitely don't skimp out on greens. Restaurant is very clean, definitely one of the cleanest I've seen from a pho place. For a Chinatown establishment this place does its basics well. If you're looking for something more adventurous with Vietnamese cuisine, you'll have to look elsewhere. read more

Rude staff, poor quality food, no credit cards accepted. Most importantly, the staff are super rude and unfriendly. Stay away from this.

I came here with my sister and we shared an XL pho and spring rolls. The bill was 18$ tax in and we still had half the soup left at the end! The pho was good and spring rolls had both, meat and shrimp. What I enjoyed the most here was how friendly the staff was and of course the prices! read more

This place is always a hit or miss for me. I say this because sometimes the service is excellent and sometimes is meh ... On this particular visit the service was better than the last time I went. Greeted and seated within 2 mins of arriving at the restaurant. Majority of the time you will find yourself seated quite closely to your neighbour (a communal type of seating). I ordered their #5 which is noodle soup with eye of round steak, well done flank and tripe ... which in my opinion is basically the same as their #1 which I usually order (I could not tell the difference). The noodle soup comes with a side of bean sprouts, herbs and lime. The pricing is average, $8 for a small, $9 for a large and $10 for extra large. Note that tax is already included, you just need to tip. Also, they only take cash. If you forget, there is an ATM right beside the cash register at the back. I'd come back again in the near future. read more
