Pho Moderne in Saint-Laurent

This beautiful gem of a restaurant is hospitable, friendly, clean, and has wonderful service and great food - full of flavor and freshness (and super generous portions). Its the sort of place you can go with people or alone and feel comfortable and welcome - its modern but from another era (like the 70s ). Highly recommend.

Great Pho! Vegetarian options: Yes Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Warm welcome, delicious meal, fast service and very reasonable prices. The portions are generous.

I ordered today through uber then when I received the soup It was super bad, the meat had pure fat, you could tell it was the worst quality meat as well as the noodles. I will never order again

My boyfriend and I were yesterday August 24, 2024! It was excellent!!

Great food! Great service! Food : 5/5

Good portion size for the price paid (ate at the restaurant), gave bottled water which was nice.

This Vietnamese restaurant is incredible! The ingredients are fresh and the soup is fragrant and delicious. The service is excellent and the dishes are magnificent and tasty. My children love this place, a real treat for the whole family!

It was very fresh, delicious and the environment was very clean

Great food, great service, and the iced Vietnamese coffee is always on point. Highly recommend this place.

Very generous portion, affordable price, very good service and super clean place!!!

First impression, the owner speaks and seems to operate like a robot. First order with this restaurant. We got sick, me first, I vomited. Strongly not recommended

Great place for takeout or dining in.

Excellent Bún bò Hu soup (Spicy beef and pork soup). The portions are huge, the dishes are tasty and the service is fast. I will go back!

I ordered via Uber eat, after 45 minutes it was still in preparation . So I called the restaurant, they told me there was a two-hour wait and that I had to cancel my order on the app. In fact it allows them to collect payment without having to deliver to you. Restaurant to avoid

Modern Pho now ranks in my top 3 ph soup restaurants. Their soup is so good and the ingredients are fresh. The portion is very generous and the prices are low. Very good table service too. I will go back!

Good Pho!

Very good soup!

DISGUSTING FOOD

No soup and no imperial roll with a chicken and beef combo (#31 on the menu).

My family arrived when there were 4 others in the establishment. We made the seemingly mortal sin of asking for a hardcopy menu as we had the QR code pointed out to us repeatedly, something that irks me as it assumes many things about cellphones, plans and the like. When we got it we realized it was difficult to use without a magnifying glass. Order was made with maybe 3 additional customers in the property. There were 5 of us but we did not order anything extremely unusual. The waiter seemed friendly enough and everything seemed good. That was until more than thirty minutes had passed and we had not even received the wonton soup we had ordered as starters. They turned up and after some time the food did begin coming to the table bit by bit. Unfortunately it was so slow for some things we began wondering what was happening and eating what had arrived. In fact it was only just before my wife had told me she had had her fill that my dish arrived. The bizarre aspect to this is one of my daughters had the pork version of the dish and I had the beef yet apparently the beef one takes almost thirty minutes longer to prepare. I know that is not the case as I overheard the waiter explaining to the kitchen staff that they had missed my order. It was reinforced by his showing them the order and explaining, 21 AND 22 before leaving the kitchen area. Many people came in, ordered, ate and left. They may have had good service but we definitely did not and when we heard the excuse that it was because it was busy when we ordered that was the icing on the cake for me. To be repeatedly told the food is on its way when it apparently was not even cooked is ridiculous and to sit and watch others around you eat their meals while you have nothing makes for a very bad experience. It is an experience we do not anticipate repeating.

So I went with my Mom, Dad and my Sisters. Honestly god awful experience. Other people came in later then us and they got there meals and went. Meanwhile one of my sisters and my dad were waiting for there wonton. Like people got full meals and left in the time it took for my dad and sister to get there wonton. They eventually got it. However when our mains came we all got our food except for my dad. He literally ordered the same thing as my sister but in beef. Apparently they forgot about his meal . The food was good but it was not worth the wait.

I only had a snack, but Ill go back.

Very good restaurant but the waitresses rarely speak French. Just learning a few words might make the experience more enjoyable. In the age of waste reduction, it is impossible to obtain a jug of water. The owner distributes plastic bottles for free.

First of all, I would not recommend. Nasty food with no flavour whatsoever. Mind you, the food is over priced for low quality food and ingredients. They force you to tip, like huh? As a customer if I feel the need to tip then I will tip but don t be greedy for it. 2/10

Its too bad that Uber and Doordarsh and all deliveries come before dine in or take out. You can wait 30 minutes at the table or like us, 45 for a pick up,that they only started to make when I got there.. they didnt care. New owners dont care about you just the money. Its sad, it used to be great.

Infamous. Not fresh, poor quality meat. I do not recommend at all !

Noodles are overdone 2 times out of 2.

Excellent!

The portions of Pho are generous. Lots of broth and veggies. Unfortunately the flavour is lacking. Had the beef, and also tried the chicken. Staff was nice, but a bit awkward. For example when I was there the staff started watching the news on the TVs quite loudly. Place is clean but could use some updates. Bottom line it s alright, but there are so many other better choices out there.

Worst food experience in my life, it took more than 45 mins for the food to arrive and on top of that the food was cold also the knifes we got were very very dirty. We were 4 and we all ordered the same thing and we didn t even get the food at the same time.

The atmosphere is good despite the busy lunch hour. The Pho is exquisite (which surprised me!) The smells of grilling from neighboring tables make me want to eat again :) friendly service. I recommend this restaurant so you dont have to travel too much downtown! The car park is accessible with parking meters and the streets next to it.

Good soups to enjoy

One of the best pho restaurant! Excellent service and the food is priced reasonably. Ive been there maybe five to ten times and I love each of my visits.

Very good pho, the broth is delicious and the dumplings with peanut sauce too! I will go back there

Lunch on site. Generous and tasty portions. Very good service.

Nice place!Yummy food, good service!

Great all around. Owner was very accommodating to children!

Very bad experience with a waiter who thought he was the boss. Home: Zero Smile: zero Kindness: zero Service: zero Listening to the customer: zero We are passing through Montreal, friends recommended this restaurant to me, I will never come to this restaurant again. We wanted to place an order but this waiter was extremely arrogant, with an aggressive look, a very audacious attitude and we had the misfortune of asking a question about a dish, he answered us with such insolence, that we decided to leave immediately. This incompetent, incapable and extremely rude waiter will be responsible for the bankruptcy of this restaurant before long. I strongly advise against this restaurant, customers and especially passing tourists are not welcome, they have no sense of business at all. FLEE this restaurant urgently. For everyone who reads all my reviews, Im not in the habit of giving very negative reviews, but this restaurant breaks all records. ABSOLUTELY AVOID GOING THERE, you will suffer and above all waste your time by ruining your day. I would have warned you!!!

Nice and generous portions

I really like eating in this restaurant. The food is tasty and the prices very reasonable. I love Tonkinese soup! A suggestion: start offering tea again; before the pandemic, you gave it away. Now you only offer bottled water.

The price is affordable considering the generous portion they provide.

I love the Pho ! Great food and service.

One of the best soup in St Laurent area, Prices are great! I would Highly recommend

Very mediocre. The meat lacked all of the delicious flavours that make Pho & vermicelli bowls so popular around the world. Wheres the lemongrass!!!!

Too much batter on the food

The broth could have had more flavor.

I dont know if you hired a new cook. But the food was horrible. Completely overcooked and tasteless.

The service is very pleasant but in terms of the quality of the food, for my part, the Thai style noodles that I ordered were disappointing.. non-fresh products and the noodles overcooked and dry.. A Thai express tasted best...

Went there tonight and EVERYTHING we ordered was PERFECT it was sooo good !!! And also the waiter gave us more than a good service ! Will definitely go back

Serve very slow and the most disappointed thing is they refused to provide even one water even after I asked (they served water to all other tables but us), maybe because I have two kids with me, but I ordered 3 plates, I just left without leaving tips to show my disappointment! ! The food was served extremely slowly and we were refused water, even after I asked for it! As an immigrant who has lived in Montreal for more than ten years, I have never left a small tip no matter whether it is a Chinese restaurant or a Western restaurant, but today I feel like every penny is too much! !

very bad service, not kids friendly. do not recommend.

Ball of hair in my soup!!!!!!!!!!

Placed a takeout order. Broccoli was overcooked. Couldn t taste anything in the meat.

My wife really enjoys the shrimp pho and I love the crispy noodles with beef and veggies.

good service, I love the peanut sauce they give for the spring rolls but I would prefer it if they had a processed sauce using fish sauce and chili

I read the other favorable reviews and must conclude that today must have been an off day. I ordered the lunch special red curry chicken, soup and imperial roll. The roll was burnt and contained almost nothing. An empty wrapper, basically. I filled-up on the white rice and couldnt bring myself to eat the actual main dish, which was bland, starch-thickened goo. Blech.

Good service and great food

The food was amazing

The vietnamese ice coffee is amazing.

Excellent

Very good food!

The taste is good, but there is no service at all. They even ask for a tip, which makes people feel bad. I will not go there again.

Great place for Pho, good quality and awesome price. Highly recommend.

Good food, good price.

Delicious food Good service and pleasant atmosphere

I love this place, the price is decent, the food is good and quick. I dont know what more to say. They even have lunch specials! Decarie BLVD is full of hidden gems. Obviously you dont go here to be seen, you go here to eat/chill and enjoy. plus the water bottle is awesome.

My friend and I ordered the grilled chicken pho soup! AMAZING! 10/10. I absolutely loved it, i couldnt finish mine, but I enjoyed every bit of it!! I love this place, service was great, and so close to everything! We will definitely go back!

Value for money, its a TOP place.

Cozy local haunt with clear, rich, broth and sizeable portions. Their Bun Bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup) which is served only on weekends is a must try if you like spicy food.

They had a buy one get one free on uber eats and i decided why not, i got the shanghia noodles and wonton soup. And needless to say the only edible thing was the soup and not even the dumplings inside. The noodles felt like water with zero flavor, super undercooked and under seasoned. And that is coming from a noodles obsessed person. Never getting again from them

My favorite place to get pho. This is a great place to get a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai dishes. The options are very generous and the service is quick and efficient. The process are reasonable and you can easily get a main dish in the $15 range. Pictured is the pho with raw beef and meat balls.

I would not recommend the Orange beef, its what I ordered here today and I feel like I was chipped out of my money. The beef was literally paper thin and the meal was mostly batter and greasy sauce. I have not been to this restaurant in a few years and I will not return.

Simply Wow! The service was very good the two times I was there with my wife. As for food... I recommend the Pho Tai! The broth is rich in flavor! Lots of noodles and meats. Plus, the meat is extremely tender and fresh! This is my number 1 so far!

It was really good and delicious!!! Even cheaper than other restaurants

The pho is the best one that I eat in Montreal. But I wait very long time for they served it every time.

The rare beef pho at this place is one of the best meals on this planet earth. I Highly recommend on a cold day. The atmosphere is also very relaxed there

I always used to go to Pho Moderne after my classes and usually got the lunch spécial or the XL bowl of pho. Depending on the day service can be a bit slow but its definitely worth the wait. Everytime I have a reason to to Saint-Laurent I make sure to grab a bite here. Food is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Its a part of my favourite pho places to eat and I will always be back for more.

Very good dish, beautiful presentation, reasonable price, good service, a little slow and prioritizes take outs.

Best pho I have ever had! I ate a lot of pho in my life, and this is one of the best! Beef is so tender, broth is clear, pungent, and so flavorful. Will come back one more time before I leave Montreal for sure.

I had a small Pho- Special. Great service. Thank you Simon

Okay

Very good combination! Imperial roll and grilled chicken on vermicelli and salad. I recommend this restaurant.

The grilled pork is amazing

Good foods, good service, clean and warm. Big portion.

They have pretty good food. I go there often because I live in the area. I ve tried a few other places in China town so this place gets 4 stars.

Very good, large volume, best pho in Montreal

So happy I found this place! Good price, good portions and excellent food. Very fresh. Can t give the 5th star since I can t comment about eating in due to COVID.

Good service and quality from a family operated restaurant.

Personally, one of the best Viet restaurant in mtl! Food was super yummy and the service was good!! The waitress was super sweet:)

Nice place to eat Cantonese

Tasty pho, good portion and service. The only reason why I dont give 5 stars is because they dont serve tap water so that forces you to buy bottled water or any other beverage, which youll likely have to do with salty food...

Still very good. I always take a #14 large. Excellent.

The food is delicious and I recommend it!!

I liked it! I found their food Im the past 3-4 years too salty, but theyve changed it for the better Kudos! Oh and its one of the rare place that I can find ban dap thit nuong

Their Pho broth is a bit bland and theres not a lot of condiments. Service is not very good either.

Do not order General Tao !!!!!!!! It was repulsive and definately not fresh. Stay as far away as possible.

Food is always delicious. This place has never let me down. Good prices and good portion.

Not even worth a star. Will never buy from here. This restaurant has really bad quality problem. I placed a takeout order, when I got home, this is what I got: A burnt plate of beef rice, mostly black and burnt and tastes disgusting. I called the restaurant to see if they will do something. I can t believe that they told me to tell the counter next time not to overcook. Paid this for 15$ and went to garbage. Quality of the food and the service is terrible. Do not buy!

Home delivery. The grilled chicken on both dishes was POOR!! Its scandalous. The egg rolls were ultra fried, bordering on burnt. Probably to hide that they werent fresh that day. I called, the manager never took the call leaving his cashier to fend for himself. What poor customer service!! Everything was thrown away it was inedible!!

Excellent Tonquinoise soup!

My most FAVORITE restaurant, food is always good everytime !!!

Terrible food and terrible service

Every time I walk out of Pho Moderne, I wish I could go back in time a bit to eat there again

I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THERE WAS A FAT WOMAN WHO WAS VERY IMPOLITE. The food was not that bad, but seriously, the woman was horrible. Other waiters are very good tho.

I am no Pho-xpert, but this was most definitely the best one I ever had. My wife that loves Pho, also has the same opinion. Very tasty Pho, great service and awesome value. Congratulations

The best Pho Ive had, and they have a lot of other great menu items such as the General Tao, Pad Thai, and Orange Beef. Ive been coming here for 5 years and its one of my favourite restaurants.

The owner is very nice and accommodating! Food is great.

The best pho soup! A stop is essential when we are in the area!

Their grilled pork with vermicelli , along with salad , imperial roll is so delicious. It keeps me coming back to this restaurant again and again.

Great value for money. Good taste. Great variety. Prompt, polite service. 10/10 would recommend. I once visited Montreal for 5 days and went to pho moderne twice because its just that good.

The soup was so warm, when we asked the lady to put it in the microwave she start talking and talking and banging the microwave door. Not a good experience, never go back anymore..

The staff is extremely friendly and truly offers an excellent service. Probably the most affordable pho around town, even though it wouldnt be my go-to! Would go back if around the area.

Very good!

First time going, very delicious

Always very good

Great place New home eat that almost 3 times a week! The owner is great and service is good! The price is cheapest Viet food in the island of Montreal!

The server was angry cause I asked him if there is something vegetarian.. and the answer was NO NOTHING

The pho is good but the highlight of this place is their general tao. For only 9$ you get the lunch special general Tao that tastes amazing and the portion is huge. Great for students attending vanier college or anyone trying to try general Tao.

Worst Pho ever had, worst service! Is not real Pho, is Cantonese Pho. Worst service! The old lady just stand at front desk talk to other people all the time, don t even care about customers. Save your money, go some where else.

$8 Pho!!! Cheep but taste so good! I ordered rare beef pho. I got plenty of beef. Very kind service. Thank you

Best general tao chicken in town

Last Friday night when I went to make my payment. I forgot to add tips so that old lady with glasses made me sign the receipt. I was confused then she s like you didn t add tips I got confused it was already done the payment. I didn t have cash. My friend did his payment and she s like one more time he didn t add tip

Excellent food, service and price. Favourite go to spot :)

I dont ever rate anything but this place has the absolute best pho in the city, full bias. Great service, the staff is so sweet and considerate, and super cheap

Best soup ever.. the shrimp tempura is delicious... I love this place!!

Very nice lady who help me with my order! Plus the food was excellent!

Good place. Nothing outstanding ,and decent pricing.

I love their soup and the very nice staff! Im changing the review because Im not impressed with the delivery twice. Last time I ordered a soup I didnt even have the sprouted beans, not even the noc nam sauce mixed with sriracha and again this time in addition to having had my rolls in a pitiful state! I find it distressing!

I like it,

Food is good and prize is reasonable

One of the best pho in Montreal

I have eaten in and ordered to go many many times pre-covid and it was always delicious. I once finished an entire plate of general tao with my partner and I dont even like general tao that much but it was great. This time as you know everything is to go given tge situation. I was so excited to get home and devour my food. I ordered the squid salt and pepper and a noodle dish. I think #45 with chicken. And i was unfortunately sooo disappointed. There was 0 flavor in both dishes, not even salt.. And the pcs of chicken that i found in #45 I had to spit out as they were all fat. Im hoping this was a one off and i can adjut my review in the future.

For the grilled pork vermicelli. A marvel! Its worth 5 stars on its own

Generous portion for the price and delicious! Will keep coming here and support them!

Good veggie pho and peanut butter dumplings!

Our planned restaurant was closed so we chanced upon Pho Moderne... and what a delight it was! The service was tip top and the food was simply scrumptious! The grilled chicken and beef were so tender and juicy and yet so perfectly and lightly encrusted with the soul-satisfying BBQ umami. The chef specials included giant deep fried noodle nests filled with seafood, as well as beef cubes sautéed to a tender perfection in a summer fresh lime sauce. Had no room left for dessert but if they are as authentic as the main courses are, they will be sure to satisfy the sweetest tooth.

Food is delicious and the servers are all really nice.

Great service, good food and great prices!

Great tasting food and very good value! The waitress was quite friendly. Will definitely go back...

Been here many times, its a diamond in the rough for many reasons. 1. The place is always super clean. 2. The food is freaking amazing and very well priced. 3. The staff here is always happy, friendly and smiley and it makes such a huge difference. The calamari entree is to die for, same for all the pho options and the Singapore noodles yuuuum

Good pho and great service.

This is a very good Asian restaurant. The food there is great. I love their egg rolls and their fried chicken. Overall, this restaurant is one of the best in Saint-Laurent

- Tasty pho, but the soup is warm rather than hot. It gets cold too fast. Also, there are too many noodles which takes up too much real estate in the bowl. - The imperial rolls were good but too oily, I d suggest serving them over some napkins - Service is quick and efficient, but entrees are served at the same time as appetizers, which isn t ideal. 4/5 stars because the broth is tasty.
