    Oh god, no more poutine.  I feel so heavy, but I'm really hungry.  Why is everything closed on Sunday?  WHY why?  It's s... s... so cold, can't feel my feet.  Oh!? It's open!  One large bowl with everything on it please.  (eating pause)  Let's go to the top of Mount Royal guys!

    A bowl of pho can really lift your mood, even after pounding your body into submission with beer and poutine for three straight days.  It is right on par with almost every other pho restaurant I've been to.  This one just happened to be open on Sunday and in the direction we were walking.  For that, I am a fan.

    My friend and I were walking on St. Catherine Street looking for a place to stop by for a bite before we head out to the club and we saw this place. The food pictured looked awesome and it was getting late, so we decided to just give it a try. OMG. I was sooo happy we came here! Their was a picture on the menu of a heaping plate of vermicelli, a huge portion of beef, a long piece of fried goodness (aka an imperial roll) and a skewer of grilled shrimp! And it also came with soup, salad, and tea (or soda) for only CAD$12!!! I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it all, but it just looked so good! The fatty in me totally took over and I ordered it.

    I can't even tell you how amazing it was. After one bite I went straight to fatty heaven. Everything was delicious and I would totally come back if I had more time to spend in Montreal!

    Everyone has their special spot for this type of dish.  But work with me here:  Let's say you find yourself walking around a city labeled as the "second largest in Canada" and after around an hour you have passed about 20 closed (!) restaurants on a Saturday afternoon, and it's really cold out, your hunger will always outweigh your standard rational thinking.

    Pho2000 is one of those places.  It was open! (+1), there were people eating in it (+1), the portions looked good (+1), the prices seemed reasonable.  So the restaurant itself is pretty dingy, and the staff is your classic Asian mom+pop who are a little grumpy, but i like that.  we tried the Imperial rolls, and i had the Spicy Thai Beef Pho.  The food didn't come out in 30 seconds, so they must have been prepping something, and when it did come out, it was super tasty, full of nice veggies and slices of beef which cooked some more in the broth, and was especially fiery with some added hot sauce.

    Check it out once, at least.

    The pho is really good here. The broth has those layers of richness and subtle flavors that make a great soup base. I have been several times and have tried all the various varieties. The satay beef (spicy) is my favorite. Imperial rolls were so-so. I haven't tried any of the other dishes, and really, why bother?

    For the life of me, I don't know why they couldn't put a tiny bit more effort into cleaning and updating the interior. But, it doesn't bother me that the place feels like you are actually IN Vietnam. I think that is charming. Prices aren't bad. An extra large pho is about $10, and you will be stuffed if you can manage to finish all the broth.

    Montreal is cold in the winter time, and this pho hits the spot, leaving you warm and satiated for the rest of the day.

    saw the pictures of their combo dishes posted by the window; attracted inside.

    had the jazz 2 combo which includes a clear broth soup, grilled beef and shrimps on skewer over vermicelli, and a soda, at $11.99. bf had a seafood fried noodle ($9-10?) that didn't look half as good as mine. "should have tried to pho (under $10) like everybody else", he said. i agree.

    service is good; waiter (boss?) was polite and pleasant. they have a bar w/a good amount of liquors on the shelves, but we didn't have any drink from it. as many asian eateries, they prefer cash. seems like they either have a surcharge for using credit card, or was it debit only? have to ask the person who took care of the bill to verify that.
