Pho Thanh Long Restaurant, Montreal (Chinatown)
Le quartier chinois de Montréal | 蒙特利爾唐人街
During our stay in Montreal it was hard not to miss home cooked Asian meals. A bowl of noodles in the order. One of the best things around Montreal was where we stayed, Hyatt Regency Montreal. It is dead center of downtown with accessible underground subways stations that lead from Complexe Deshardins, Place D’ Armes and Palce des Arts metro stations. A brisk walk underground leads us to Saint-Urbain and De La Gauchetière Street – the back roads of Montreal Chinatown (Le quartier chinois de Montréal).
Chinatown in Montreal really isn’t too big and is much smaller than Vancouver’s. In fact, there are more Vietnamese Pho eateries than there are of wonton noodles. I heard lots of good things about the authenticity of the Pho noodles at Pho Thanh Long and we were super excited to try it.
The soup is tasty and not very oily, but the real winner was their Mong dry vermicelli noodles. Lots of chicken slices with prawns. There was a lot of ingredients and they didn’t skimp out. The spring rolls were tasty and wasn’t too oily. Added with some fish sauce mixed with chili oil really made our day!
There isn’t a lot of reviews on Urbanspoon nor Yelp. But if you ever check in with Foursquare you will see a lot of good word of mouth!

Come on Nance. You review Pho Thanh Long here in Montreal, but you have no pictures of the restaurant(except one shot of the food). The rest of the pictures is of Montreal Chinatown. It took me to do a Google Maps search to be sure which Pho restaurant you are actually talking about(I’ve actually eaten there). Pho Thanh Long is actually just a little outside of Montreal Chinatown. Where else did you eat in Montreal?
Awww you didn’t like the pix around Chinatown? We did have pix of the restaurant but we were making silly faces (so its our discretion not to put those up). Feel free to visit their website for a picture of the outside and their menu… We visited a few other restaurants, please explore our blog under Montreal
It’s not that I didn’t like the pix around Chinatown. I’m saying it has no connection to your review of Pho Thanh Long. I’ve seen the picture online of outside of the restaurant(that’s how I recognized the restaurant, as I’ve eaten there before). You’re confusing your regular readers in Vancouver & any readers in Montreal(Pho Thanh Long is not a very well known restaurant in Montreal). I’m guessing you’re based in Vancouver. BTW, now I remember, your other Montreal visit postings when it was originally posted in late-May & June 2012.
