Pho Ngon doesn’t bother with frills—it focuses on what matters: deeply fragrant broth, thinly sliced meats, and bowls of pho that easily rank among the best in the city. Tucked into a stretch of Crémazie in Saint-Michel, this Vietnamese spot has built a quiet cult following thanks to its consistency, value, and flavour. The name literally means “delicious pho,” and it delivers.
Expect a no-nonsense setting—basic tables, quick turnover, and a line at lunch—but the payoff is generous portions and a broth that tastes like someone’s been tending it since sunrise. Alongside the signature soups, you’ll find spring rolls, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates that are equally solid. It’s cash-only, the service can be brisk, and you may have to wait—but no one leaves disappointed. If you’re anywhere near Saint-Michel and craving Vietnamese comfort food, this is the place to know.
