" If you love Vietnamese food, you have to visit Pho Bac! The pho is outstanding. I tried the bun bo hue during my last visit, and it packed a punch of flavors. The service was quick, which is perfect for lunch breaks. I truly enjoyed my meal, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served. Highly recommend this place for anyone needing a great meal in Chinatown! " (*Curated Review*)

" With so many Vietnamese options in the city, Pho Bac holds its own. The pho broth has a comforting depth, although on my last visit, it was teetering on bland. I do appreciate how quickly they serve—the food comes at lightning speed! However, the atmosphere can get a bit chaotic during peak lunch hours. I’ll likely return for another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! Every visit feels like coming home. The team is warm and welcoming, and the pho is always on point. I usually order the beef brisket, which is tender and flavourful. The wait time is quick, even during rush hours. It’s always packed, a sign that they are doing something right. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Vietnamese! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the heart of Chinatown! The pho here is exceptional; it reminds me of the ones I had when I traveled through Vietnam. The broth has a deep, aromatic flavor, and the portion sizes left me completely satisfied. Staff were upbeat and quick, keeping the vibe lively. I will definitely be returning to sample more of the menu! This place is definitely worth a visit if you love Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I consider Pho Bac an institution in Montreal! The pho is consistently flavorful, and they provide hearty portion sizes that leave you satisfied. The restaurant atmosphere isn’t fancy, but the charm lies in its simplicity. The service can vary—mostly efficient but sometimes a bit rushed when busy. Still, I return here often for my pho fixes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was looking forward to my visit but ended up slightly disappointed. The pho had potential, but the broth was milder than I like. Service was fast, but I wished the staff would have been more engaging. Still, the place has a good vibe and the prices are reasonable, so I might give it another chance on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pho Bac is alright. I ordered the special beef pho, and while it was decent, it didn’t live up to the hype. Service was friendly but slow. The place was busy which made it feel quite cramped. I might give it another chance, but I’m not in a rush to return. Overall, it was an okay experience for me. " (*Curated Review*)
