Found by accident. Saw a Yelp likes us sticker, so we went in. I had the Pho and the Mrs. had the shrimp pad thai. My pho was just okay and the pad thai was also just okay. Not sure if it was an off day for the chef and the owner/manager/server. When we arrived there were 4 other tables chatting and enjoying their meals, I should have asked what they were eating. read more

A family restaurant where i have been going for over 20 years. The old lady made the best Pho broth. She used to make a new broth every Wednesday so the best Pho was in Tuesday as the flavors refined with time. I miss the tendons which added flavor and a nice gelatinous texture The successors expanded the menu with very flavorful dishes I tried, for the first time the Vietnamese filter coffee with a chocolate aroma. Once it filters thru tou pour in a glass full of ice ! The coffee is already sweetened with concentrated milk. With trying ! read more

Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience here. My and my group were craving some Vietnamese food and the other restaurants in the area were closed. We stopped by here to eat since it was out last option. First impressions were not the best. Inside was pretty empty and it was a super dark lighting. Ambiance was a little bit off-putting but I've learned in all my restaurant trying to never judge a book by it's cover. We sat down and prepared to order. Next, the food. The food was quite poor here. The pho broth had a weird, sweet taste that is very different than normal pho broth. It had a super artificial taste that was a telltale sign that it was absolutely filled with MSG. I'm not against MSG in any means and I believe it can add a lot of depth to food. However, this was very extreme and made it overall unpleasant. The other thing I had eaten was the bun rieu ( a tomato and crab broth ). The broth was better in this case. It had a nice balance of tomato and crab, However, once I started eating the food, I noticed that it was about 50% bean sprout. It made it nearly impossible to get a full bite of noodles without crunching on some bean sprouts. Finally, the service. Also a super poor experience with the service here. First thing, they got our order wrong. Small mistake and excusable. It happens to the best of restaurants. It was the mannerisms of the boss that made this service so bad. We had finished our meal and was asking for our check. We called him several times but he was in a sleeping position staring at his phone, Very poor showing of service. Unfortunately, this place was simple not good. Do not try and just bet on the other pho restaurants in the area. read more

Highly rated for previous owner, the new management knows nothing about tempura. Hands down, the worst I've ever had. Tempura is not deep fried panko crumbs.... Geez, just freaking awful. Should have known better- 50 seat restaurant with one person at 7 PM. No one there, and we certainly will not be back. Really, really bad food.... read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. I really didn't expect it to be anything out of ordinary at first, but it was a nice dinner experience. The service was friendly and quick. Their menu has more to offer than just your regular Pho and I've ordered their crispy noodles to try. The portions are generous, simple and delicious and very cheap considering quality/price ratio. It's worth going there for lunch or dinner. read more

Pho Maisonneuve - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I was the only guest at 8pm on a Tue - but when the food came out 5 mins after ordering, it was excellent. Other points: 1. My entree was $12 but they wanted cash - bring cash 2. These people are great cooks first - if the reception seems cold at first when you walk in speaking English, ignore it. They're not really selling - they're just real. 3. This is the first time I opened a fortune cookie to find it empty. That freaked me out. My gf says it means I now get to write my own fortune. I don't know, sounds like something Jules would tell Vince in that breakfast scene in Pulp Fiction. read more

This is not a fancy place but this is a tasty place ! The service was quick and friendly. The menu has the traditional Vietnamese favourites including Bun Bo Hue... Yes I must be back for the Bun Bo Hue! This time around I had the beef pho and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was fragrant and right up there with the bettor pho's in town. This could quickly become one of my faves for lunch since it is walking distance from my work. read more

Tasty, simple food. Quick service, good price, nice little place. And Yelp is ridiculous in that it won't let me post a short review. If I don't want to write a long winded review I should not be forced to! read more

Pho Maisonneuve - #23 - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My Beau dragged me to this little restaurant that seemed to be tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Ok~ maybe it's not in the middle of nowhere and I'm just saying that because he dragged me there at night. We had just landed in from Toronto and needed a place to eat and it was getting late and thank goodness this place was still open! It's really shady in the area at night as we passed a few zombies (if you know what I mean) to get to this restaurant. The streets aren't that brightly lit around the area either. Inside behind the double doors of this restaurant was a night get away from the chill of the winter. The place seemed clean and well kept. There wasn't anyone else but us in the restaurant but it was around 9pm, an odd hour to eat dinner. They didn't serve the three bean drink at this restaurant - I always get at Pho places. Maybe they do have it but I just didn't order it right. But the server did apologize and say that didn't have it. The Pho here was so good! Better that some I tried in Chinatown. Boyfriend really enjoyed the chicken pho and feels this place had the best chicken pho broth he had ever had. The server was quiet, but was nice and pretty keen on making sure we had enough tea. I left very happy after dinner here ~ even if I didn't get my rainbow coconut drink. read more

Dropped by in the middle of a hot afternoon and it was empty. But that's no excuse for the subpar service - oops I meant complete lack of service we received. The one server was clearly more interested in singing his karaoke than serving his customers, with his face plastered to his phone's YouTube all the way. Food wise tasted average at best, though their selection of noodles wasn't that bad. read more

This place was open today! Great food and the owner was very attentive. I have to say their pho needed to have less noodles and be hotter. They could also improve on their lemongrass chicken, it was just 3 pieces on top of rice. I really like the ambience here and how friendly the staff were. So i would come here again read more

The music that's playing is amazing. I have no idea what's even happening. It sounds like sped up Karaoke. I think the CD they have is scratched. The pho was pretty damn decent, and I'm not even that hungry. Really just killing time. Solid broth. Good all around pho. And the prices were great for what you get. Fun fact: I actually wrote this before I even ate the food. I just had a hunch, then ate, then pressed "continue." When you know, you know. read more

This is a gem! It's quiet, with professional service and very good food. I have been here three times over many years and the quality is still as good as my first visit. read more

Oh no! Is this really the best pho in town? I do like this restaurant! However it's only a 3 star for me. The soup is nice but bland, the noodles are just acceptable. Many lunch combos available. Many rice and non-soup dishes too. I find the food to have a Western taste palette. Wonderful staff!!!!! Great prices. Quick service. read more

Very welcoming staff. Generic, basement atmosphere with fluorescent lighting. Mediocre Pho Ga and spring rolls. Walked all over town to find the best OPEN Pho shop. Yelp reviews let me down. read more

After reading a couple reviews about this place, I decided to give it a try. It was about 12:45 so still lunchtime right? I asked myself why was i the only person there. Shouldn't it be more busy since they are right next to Place Dupuis and other offices. Plus their prices are quote reasonable. Anyways, i always try before I judge. Ok. So this is not the best pho in town but not the worst. Especially around this part of town. So i ordered two lunch specials to go. Sorry no pictures this time. I ordered the rare and well done beef pho that came with two imperial rolls. I also ordered the Hu tieu that came with a spring roll. All that for 20$. Not bad! Here it goes. The both broth were ok since you can taste the msg quite a bit. Not too overwhelming but just enough to know that they went a big overboard! The imperial roll could of been better if they hadn't been fried in old oil. The spring roll was nothing to die for. They were generous with the meat portions in the soups so that's good. Would i return to this restaurant? Maybe. I will need to try some other vietnamese/pho places around here... read more

I've ordered a bowl of Pho for takeout. Not the best but enough for me to enjoy a warm soup during winter. Waited 15 min. for my order...might want to call them beforehand. Overall, it is a decent place. Staff are friendly. If you find yourself in this area and want a warm bowl of soup, give this place a try as this is the only pho place I believe. read more

Delicious traditional Vietnamese food. The tastiest Phô ever! A friendly staff/family that has everything homemade. Absolutely LOVE their springrolls with the peanut sauce! read more

This is the worst pho restaurant I've been to. The broth was disgusting and the noodles were old. Will definitely not recommend. Not sure how this place has a 4 1/2 star rating... I read more

Great food, homey warm vibes, the portions are big! So if you don't very much (like me) take the small sized soup! Great for eating alone or with friends. read more

We loved this place! Excellent food, excellent value. Starter was one of the best pho soups I have ever had, absolutely delicious. Followed that with perfect grilled chicken in a lemongrass sauce over vermicelli, spring roll and salad on the side. Cookie to finish up. All of that for $10.50. And the owner is super nice. The place is actually open to 10pm on weeknights, yelp says 9pm. We were very pleasantly surprised. We just recently moved in across the street and will be back soon and often! Found our new go-to spot in our new neighbourhood :) read more

Afyer reading the reviews, I was expecting food to be great but sadly no. It was Bland at best.

My family and I travelled to Montreal for a week, after reading a couple reviews we decided to grab some dinner at this location. We arrived around 5 PM, and it was not busy. We were not greeted or seated for a good 5-10 minutes after walking into the door. The waiter did not seem to know much about the menu or he did not bother to explain any of it to us, we ordered some appetizers. Most of the food was bland with no flavor. Their spring rolls are not authentic spring rolls, most likely spring rolls catered for non-asian. Let's see, it took about 10 minutes to get seated and the appetizers came out 15 minutes after we ordered, but after finishing out appetizers and waiting approximately 20-30 minutes after our mains had still not arrived. So we asked the waiter how much longer our main courses would take, he looks at us then looks down at his hand which had our orders. He did not put the orders through! This was horrible service and he did not even apologize, he would looked annoyed anytime he looked at our table. Keep in mind that when we walked in there was only 2 occupied tables. It was already getting late and we decided to wait for the main course. The pho had the weakest broth I have ever tasted. Everyone else food was either cold or bland. HORRIBLE food and TERRIBLE service. read more

oh mine... We read Hoang-Khai review, but we were still a bit skeptical about this restaurant, but decided to give it a try. It was a warm family restaurant, definitely not a chic restaurant for sure. The food are DELICIOUS and AWESOME. Ultra fresh ingredient. Not much MSG, but good food. Price is great, under $10 for most on the menu. read more

I loved the pho here! Out of all the restaurants I visited in Montreal this past weekend, this one had the best food. I did not know it was cash only (I used my credit card all weekend) and all I had was a $100 bill american and the guy was nice enough to take it and give me a fair exchange rate. The pho was tasty (I got #26) and the service was great. read more

This restaurant is so good. The food is fresh, almost no msg, and tastes like home cooking. The place is cozy like a home away from home. The owners are very kind as well. I try to bring as many people as I can to discover this place! read more
