Phở Nam Quan

Great pho! Didn't take long for it to arrive to our table. Perfect place to stop by and eat lunch, it's a walking distance from Kimphat so you can also go there. It was really hard to find parking though

Me and my friend had the pleasure of dropping by last week as the regular Vietnamese restaurant I usually frequent was full and this one was just a few minutes drive away. To my surprise, they had an extra large bowl of Bun Bo Hue. Compared to other similar Vietnamese restaurants I found that I greatly enjoyed their version more. The meat was lean with very little fat and the broth was not as oily like the other restaurant. My friend ordered a rice dish with pork chops. He also had the same impression that his pork chops were lean as well. The portions were also plentiful as well. The prices were similar to other restaurants, but the quality of the food was very good. The decor and atmosphere were average, and service was adequate and not rushed. We were served cold glasses of tea which hit the spot becuse the day was hot and humid. The restaurant had no private parking lot, but there was plenty of free parking on the streets around it Would I go back there, YES!

Really good Bún bò Huế. 🥰 everything was really tasty! Will order again.

Whenever I order from them they don’t disappoint, the broth is nice, warm and full of flavor. They’re also accommodating when I requested an extra broth they didn’t forget to add it to my order and Im pretty sure they put a lil extra protein in my order. 🤭Customer service is 💯!

Pho Nam Quan is an absolute gem! The pho here is some of the best I’ve ever had—rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh ingredients. The portions are generous, so you leave feeling fully satisfied. One of the best parts is the price—so affordable for the quality and quantity of food you get. It’s hard to find such a great meal at such a reasonable cost these days. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is quick and friendly. Whether you’re a pho lover or trying it for the first time, Pho Nam Quan is a must-visit. Highly recommended! This should work well for highlighting the key aspects of the restaurant!

This place is a go-to for my family. We’ve always loved their pho! They offer two sizes: L and XL The broth is always so tasty and well prepared, and the portions are worth the price honestly. They also give us tea and there are chili and hot sauce as well as hoisin on each table! i got the bun bo hue and the noodles are thicker than i prefer but that is usually how bun bo hue is prepared! my father is a FAN of the beef tendons here Parking is difficult when u go on a busy day:/

Very good Pho and rolls. The broth was comforting and tasty, and the meat was high quality and fresh🍜 I also appreciatw that they serve ice tea 🧊

My favourite Bún Bô Huê in town. 5 stars for the taste. Less star for the service… The price is still reasonable with today’s inflation.

Very good pho soup and by far the best price I had for a big ass soup will cost you 10$ tax in don't know how something that cost so little and still be this good. Really doesn't look like much from the outside and the decor inside ugly looking but give it a chance and don't judge this book by the cover

First time back in 3 years and i was pleasantly surprised! This time, the bun bo hue was quite tasty. The portions were good, the prices were fair and the service was good as well. Still hard to find parking but if you're really craving bun bo hue like I was, you find parking!

2.5 Star Nam Quan looks like a perfect hole in the wall restaurant in middle of no where (at least for out of town people like me) with promising of amazing Vietnamese food. Arriving late at 8:30 pm on a weekday and the place was packed! We ended up waiting for around 15 minute for a table to open up. A wait for table?! This was really promising. Imperial Rolls (Ch giò)? Small little spring rolls bite size for the "imperial" family? Not even made with rice paper wrapping. I would not recommend that. Summer Roll was refreshing and quite decent. Pho broth has a good herb flavour and love the subtle taste. However my Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) was just disappointing. Everything was a little off but this maybe my personal preference. I am glad that I did not make a special trip coming here by transit as we had a rental car for the day. PS Cleanliness maybe an issue but what I did not see I guess I don't really know. My friends were trying to tell me something about the red chili.. I kind of tuned them out....

So finally gave this restaurant a try which was hanging in my bookmarks forever now. Nothing much to say; it's a smallish humble Vietnamese restaurant in a basement offering pho besides other usual dishes.... I think. I say I think because I barely look at other stuff on the menu simply because I'm a pho addict. Specially in the middle of the winter, it's hard to look at the other choices. Pho is calling, no time to fuss around. I better reply and warm my insides fast. So this quick review is based on that soup only. I usually take pho Dac Biet. Same this time also. Meat slices and meatball were good, tripe was ok also but a tiny notch more rubbery than usual. All in all no funky smell or other issues to report with the food. The only two areas that fell short were the broth and the portion. Broth was a little watered down in my opinion, a bit deficient in beef flavour and star anise taste. Ordered an X-large but bowl looked and felt like the large size I usually take at other places. 4 star is fair, it's still a decent pho if you're in the hood. $10 tax in for their X-large, you get a good bang for your buck. I sure will be back if nearby and this time hopefully it'll be for something else other than the pho. Time for me to stick my neck out a little and see life through other dishes at these joints :)

Really quick serving pho. Loved it. Very tasty!! I had the special / pho dac biet with extra meat balls on the side.

I drove from downtown to this out of no where Pho. This place was packed and it's located like everyone said, hole in a wall... Out of nowhere. The imperial roll is a bit soft in the inside compares to other pho places, it's like biting on an empty crispy fried roll. That one, I'll skip next time. The main focus, PHO. I must say it is one of the best and by far from all the pho I've been in Montreal. It's super tasty, the beef are tendered. I drove 20 minutes from Downtown to here and it's totally worth it. Service wise.. Well look, I get that they are busy, but it also questionable when I see people came in after start eating their pho when my order of imperial has not arrived yet. I waited minimum 15 minutes before the first dish arrive (spring roll, shrimp rolled with rice paper). Will I go? Absolutely, just for the pho but I won't go back every month though... It's a bit far...

I had Pho Tai Nam extra large and it wasn't that great. I'm a big eater so this opinion will not affect everyone, because it felt like a medium bowl to me and I could've eaten a couple of more of these bowls. The bowl is filled with a lot of broth, with a handful of noodles and meat. Noodles were on the firmer side. The rare beef was really thin and small, gave about 6 pieces. The beef flank was a bit overdone, in which it melts in your mouth too easily. Not my type of beef flank, but was given a decent amount. The broth was more on the traditional side, but it had a bit of a sharp sour taste to it. But when mixed with the sauces (Hoisin and Sriracha) it made the broth a bit more tolerable. Experience on service is nothing more than mediocre. Given ice tea and order when you're ready.

Beef in a ginger sauce ...yummy but not stellar...small humble restaurant... wondering where my coffee I order has gone to?!?

A small hole in the wall, selling inexpensive Vietnamese food. I ordered fried spring rolls, an iced coffee, and an all dressed pho, with an extra meatballs on the side. The spring rolls sucked. Not wrapped in rice paper, the spring roll had a weird filling. It was severely lacking meat. The iced coffee tasted weirdly chocolatey and was not strong enough. Wouldn't order again. The pho was solid tho. Deep rich beef broth full of spices, tasty meat cuts and very good, smooth, noodles. Would go back just for the pho.

Best ever bun bo hue in montreal ! Should try gio cuon, this is the best in town too The price is so cheap. Should try !!!

You should come here for one thing: Bun Bo Hue. Savoury, sweet, sour, and spicy at its best. You won't find a better hangover cure. I promise you.

I give this place a 5 star because, although it looks like a hole in the wall, you will not find better Pho in Montreal. I always order the Pho that's served with soft tendon, tripe and rare beef. It's to die for. Their savoury broth is one like no other. I'm slurping it by the bowl by the end of my meal. They have very good selection of other Vietnamese dishes besides the soup. Their shrimp tempura is some of my favourites! They offer take-out so you could always call in advance and it will be ready for you when you arrive. It's also cheap. The largest bowl is 9$.

All the dishes are good, that one of my fav Vietnamese restaurant all the staff is really nice.

Vietnamese here. Was craving pho the last day of our Montreal trip. Not worth the extra 30 min drive outside the city. Small place with small portion. The Vietnamese ice coffee was pretty good though.

Their bun bo hue is excellent!! My favorite of all time It's not super spicy for my preference but I like it like that.

This is a family business that is known to the viet community I believe. The broth is very tasty and rich in beef bone and other essential ingredients. the place serves Bun Bo Hue noodle everday instead of only on weekends at most places. I personally prefer the mild original pho broth. One negative remark about the food is that he portion size of noodle fluctuates from time to time. And sometimes the broth can be very greasy if you order a pho containing cooked beef flank. Very busy from Thurs to Sat.

One of the best phos I've had in a long time. Worth the distance and the price. The bowl was full compared to the last pho I had a few months ago in the West Island. The broth was tasty. The other dishes look good too. This busy place is a family run business and sit about 25-30 patrons. I won't hesitate to go back that far to have a good bowl of pho. Fully recommend.

Very disappointing. We waited for 10 minutes in the Hall, but no one welcomed us. We have been ignored eventhough we were the only ones waiting for a table. We decided to leave after 10 minutes without any service.

MMMM, one word to describe their pho....DELICIOUS! Came here on Wednesday evening and it was quite busy. We were seated right away. The restaurant is located in a little basement and it isn't the fanciest place. We ordered and the soups came right away. We ordered the DAC BIET. The broth was so tasty for a small size, it was packed with lots of meat + noodles. I love how they give us a side of chop suey + cilantro + basil. One of the rare restaurants to serve the cilantro on the side. I wouldnt hesitate to come to this place again!

This place has the best pho and best bun Bo hue in the city...good price...the reason I give 4 star...cause the place is not really clean...and the service is so so....but the food is so so good!!

Tasty and aromatic broth. You can really taste all the spices in the broth. I've only had the pho here and it's been delicious every time. I can't comment on any of the other dishes. Prices in the usual range for a pho place. I removed one star for the interior of the restaurant. It's basically in a semi basement, simple tables, not super clean and no ambiance whatsoever. Also the service can leave much to be desired. Waiters/waitresses are hard to flag down after taking the initial order.

Odd location, but it's the best Pho soup I've had in Montreal thus far.

This place is great Pho. I have had Pho all over the world and this was a great hole in the wall location. They only take cash or debit. No credit which is why i only gave the 4 stars. The place was packed and the food still came out really fast. They have a good selection of other Vietnamese items other then Pho and they looked just as good. This made it on my "Get you some of that!".

...Nam Quan is situated in Villeray... in a renovated and rezoned basement apartment to be precise. The first time I visited this place, I thought one thing, "who's living upstairs, and do they know this is going on?" I wouldn't put it past them as billowing cauldrons of simmering beef broth has the ability to permeate not only your clothes for the rest of the day - but I'm convinced through gyprock and particle board to permanently embed itself into the actual soul and entity of the building...

First of all let me start by saying that the soup was delicious, but the service was HORRIBLE! We were a group of 6 people that came in for lunch on Saturday, from the very beginning we told the waiter that 2 of the people in the group were paying together, and that everyone else was paying separately. So we all went up to pay individually and as we paid left the establishment to get into our cars.... the last person to pay was held back and accused our group of not paying for a portion of our food (spring rolls)! Imagine that, you pay your bill and they hold back the last person in your group and accuse them of not paying for their bill completely and trying to make them pay for spring rolls that have already been paid. Now let me be clear spring rolls are not very much ($2-$3) but just the principle of them accusing someone of not paying and then trying to make them pay? So after half an hour they printed off all the receipts and were able to confirm that indeed everyone had paid their bill and that they were at fault. Not one apology was given nor were they apologetic at all. Will never go there again, and anyone that wants to go be careful and vigilant, they might try to get you to pay something that has already been paid.
