Oddly enough, I've never had Vietnamese food in Montreal. I've been meaning to give Pho Tay Ho a try so I met up with E on an early Wednesday evening and we were able to snag a seat on the terrasse right out front.
Service is spotty as once we ordered and got our food, they never came back to check on us. I like that they have a sheet for you to mark your order. Keep it because you'll need it to pay after. Note: you can pay with debit.
- Bo tai chanh (#3) ($10.00) - interestingly, this rare beef salad comes with shrimp chips. Not the best that I've had; I would have liked a little more acidity and brightness to it.
- Pho ga, long ga, tai (#15) ($10.00 large) - mix of gizzard, liver, heart of chicken and rare beef. Rarely order chicken pho but the broth was very clean tasting and lemongrass was at the forefront.
- Pho tom voi rau (#20) ($10.00 large) - shrimp and vegetables. Broth was a little more sweeter but the shrimp was tasty (you only get four though).
Cheap, tasty and filling; can't really ask for anything else.
Very famous pho restaurant which sells chicken pho. Not many places have chicken pho. The soup is light but flavorful. There were more protein than carbs in D's soup which is rare. D likes it :D However, the chicken is crunchy. If you don't have that in mind before you try it, it might a surprise. In D&G's case, it is a not so positive surprise :/
In general, it is worth a try but not D&G's favorite pho place.
Pho has always been my fave to eat. I have been to a lot of different Pho restaurants. This one definitely ranks high on my list. Their soup is thick and rich, and they give you a lot of meat. I recommend to ask them to switch the thick regular noodle to the Moon if you order the soup ones. I love the combination.
