Sushi Poke Bowl Japanese Fried Chicken

Review Summary

Comptoir Shoji is described as a casual spot with fresh, flavorful sushi and popular poke bowls and chirashi don, with the salmon mango poke singled out by several as outstanding and portions often praised for being generous yet reasonably priced. The atmosphere is generally pleasant and the décor is noted as attractive, with staff described as friendly on some visits and the overall vibe feeling like a street food counter in Japan.

Le Bay Ca Phe

(219)

Mile-End

Vietnamese Café

Review Summary

Le Bay Ca Phe receives strong praise for authentic Vietnamese flavors, especially a rich, aromatic pho and a standout banh mi, with many reviewers noting generous portions, tasty sauces, and fresh ingredients. The broth and beef, including brisket options, are repeatedly described as excellent, and the lunch specials offer good value with a choice of entree and starter. The vibe is described as cozy, modern and zen, with fast, attentive service. However, a few comments mention the space being a bit small and noisy, making conversation a bit challenging, and some dishes or salads being a bit salty or portions smaller than expected. Parking on a busy street can be tricky and the place can fill up quickly on busy days. Overall, the reviews converge on Le Bay Ca Phe as one of the best places for pho in the city, delivering fresh, flavorful dishes at reasonable prices and inviting, reliable service, encouraging repeat visits.View restaurant profile

Salaberry-de-Valleyfield

Pasta Italian

Review Summary

Across the reviews for Mia Pasta, the dining experience is described as having tasty food at a reasonable price but inconsistent service and frequent order errors. Several diners report disorganized and inattentive staff, long waits, and problems with orders such as missing toppings, wrong pasta shapes, or items charged as extras they did not receive. A number of observations mention a double charge or being charged for parmesan they did not want, as well as a dirty table and a sense that the service lacked warmth or professionalism. Safety and professionalism concerns are raised about staff appearing unfocused near the kitchen and the manager or senior staff making disrespectful comments about customers. There are also notes about discrepancies between digital menus and printed menus, and even items like a pizza that was not fully cooked. On the brighter side, some reviews praise the food quality, reasonable prices, and a few visits note a pleasant or quick service, plus kid friendly features like game stations, making the overall impression mixed but with room for improvement.View restaurant profile
