Review from Matthew A.

It is my opinion that this is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in greater Montreal.
The first night we went, we were excited by the flavors and freshness of the selections.
The restaurant is casual, bring your own wine, and family owned.
If you do not see exactly what you want, just ask the owner woman or her daughter and they are so happy to go out of their way to make something just for you.
The beef pho is AMAZING with rich flavor. The fresh rolls with shrimps, mint, and noodles with peanut dipping sauce are a tease. So good that you can not wait for the entree to come.
Pho Viet is now a must stop for Dennis and I when we visit Montreal.
We came here TWICE in one week as it was so good!!

Came here because Pica Pica was closed and we didn't really have a plan b. Other reviews are not kidding about slow service. There were only a couple of other tables occupied, but only one server who took her sweet time with everything. Lemonade came after the pho and spring roll app, even though everything was ordered at the same time? And tasted like Country Time powder mix. Maybe that's why it's apportez votre vin?
Pho was okay but had too much cinnamon in it (?) and was pre-flavored (did not come with the customary basil leaves, sprouts, fish sauce, and lime to make it to your taste).
Disappointing to say the least. Next time I want pho in Montreal, I'll go back to Pho Bac 97. Or anywhere else. -

We came here because we wanted to go to a BYOB (o "Apportez Votre Vin") restaurant in Montreal. After hearing about Pho Viet, we decided to go give it a try.
The place is small and gives this homey ambience, which was a plus for me. I got a combo of grilled shrimp on skewer and grilled beef with vermicelli. The grilled beef was delicious...cooked very nicely. The shrimp was meh...I had a lot better tasting shrimps than that.
The dining experience was a disappointment. First, the food took a while to come out, and then the waitress got the order wrong. My friend order a beef with lemongrass, and she got grilled chicken instead. When she did get the beef lemongrass, the beef had no essence of lemongrass. She was very disappointed. My other friend got chicken with vegetables, which she said was nothing extraordinary.
After dinner, the waitress didn't come give us the check until an hour after we finished our food. The place was busy but not that busy to 'ignore' us for an hour.
Other than the beef and the BYO, there is nothing great about this place. Perhaps it is their pho that I should have tried. Oh well... -

Just ate at Pho Viet based on the first review on Yelp and its 1-block distance from my lodgings. Great pho! Very rich broth with a unique, complex flavor, and the beef was incredibly tender, without the bit of gristle that is common in more hole-in-the-wall places. I missed the plate of spouts, chilis, basil, and cilantro that I have become accustomed to in the States, but this may be a regional thing. A huge bowl of Pho Ba and a homemade lemonade (beh, not the greatest but not bad) was only $10!
