Amazing family-run restaurant! Best pho in town, with owners who are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

We have been going to Nguyen Phi for 20 years. Best pho in town!

We arrived before closing, so we still had plenty of time to order and eat, but the staff acted like we were bothering them. They served burnt spring rolls and raw grilled beef, and the apology we got was hardly sincere. He didn’t charge us for the undercooked grilled beef, but he remained rude the entire time. Just as we were about to start eating, a worker even reminded us to eat faster. She mentioned it many times, which it was unnecessary and disrespectful. Seriously!? If you hate customers this much, why even bother opening the restaurant!

REPLIED: 98%? Are you sure? It was actually closer to 75%. If I had noticed right away that it was raw, I would have told the waiter immediately. But since I only saw it at the very end when I flipped the meat, it was still bloody. Imagine if I had eaten the whole thing without noticing, it was basically raw, and I could’ve gotten sick.
The only concerns I want to address are the service, when the waitress told us to eat faster in a rude way, and the fact that the meat was undercooked. I hope you understand, and I do accept the apology. I don’t mean to be rude, I just wanted to express and share the experience me and my friends had. Thank you

Not bad. I thought the broth was ok but on the sweet side. Just my preference, I prefer less sweet.

Been going here since I was 13. My favourite pho restaurant ever. Even after moving cities I always come back for a taste. The owner is awesome and so chill. Definitely recommend

The bun bo hue and lemongrass condiment was great, though too sweet for my liking.

The com ba mao pork chop was microwaved. Call Gordon Ramsey, who precooks pork chops then microwave to order?

But the biggest no no was that I got food poisoning from the smoothie: they hand washed the mixer in the sink and didn’t do a good job, the health inspector better not get them on that?

My go-to pho soup place, whenever I'm in the area. Been going there for close to 20 years, and never been disappointed. One of the best soups in the city, friendly service, and great value.

Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Authentic, delicious, good value and friendly service. Lots of menu choices as well. I go often.

The Pho I had was great. The soup base is good. The atmosphere is comfortable. Would definitely eat here again

You know, this is probably my first time leaving a review on a restaurant ever. I’ve been going here for maybe 4-5 years. I love pho, Montreal has a very active viet community, I make my own pho quite often. And yet, I’m the definition of a regular at this restaurant.

You come here for the pho. Once you’ve found your order, you never switch. Ever. The price is decent, but the portions are generous, the beef broth is one of my favs broths in the city, and the fatty beef cuts especially are without a doubt the best I’ve had.

It’s probably a little unhinged of me to say this, but though I don’t eat out much, I’ve gone to this restaurant over 100 times, without exaggeration. If my review seems overly positive, it’s because this review feels long overdue. Love this restaurant; probably my favourite restaurant in Montreal.

P.S. the service is INCREDIBLY fast. Like shockingly so.

Beautiful little authentic place. Welcoming and lightning-fast service.

The grilled chicken and vegetable Pho was very good. Good portion. The meat was well seasoned! Yum. The broth was good! Less my style (a little more on the fat than on the flavors.)

Great experience. I recommend. Little ambient music as a bonus.
