Asian Sandwiches Soups

Review Summary

Reviews highlight a very good Pad thai that is tasty and generous with meat and considered the best among several tried in Montreal. The cashier is nice and the chef will perform a cooking demonstration. Takeaway is recommended for those who want to avoid issues with spice levels. Food is a little spicy but not crazy spicy, and heat can be adjusted to taste. Budget-friendly with late hours in downtown Montreal, the place offers good value and generally impeccable service even when busy. The dining area seems shared with two other vendors and the floors can be a bit unkempt, but the price and quality hold up. A noted downside includes spring rolls arriving in a bag with sauce leaking, and the banh mi vegetables being overcooked. The fried rice with chicken is tasty, the pad thai tom yum has a unique flavor, and the stir fry udon is flawless though sometimes a bit saucy. Overall, this is a reliable budget option with generous portions and a mix of spicy dishes that suit different tastes.View restaurant profile
