I recently tried this spot with a friend after wanting to check it out for a while, & I'm really glad we ended up going.
I'll be honest, the service was quite slow at the start. We went on a Monday & the place was absolutely slammed, & it looked like there was only one server working. It took about 40 minutes for us to have our order taken. We did get water fairly quickly, but there was definitely a wait. That said, it felt more like a staffing issue than anything else, & the waiter was still kind & doing their best the whole time.
We almost left, but decided to stay since we really wanted to try the food, & I'm very happy we did. Once we ordered, everything came out pretty fast, & the food completely made up for the wait.
I got a Vietnamese iced coffee, which is always a go to for me, & it was absolutely delicious. My friend tried one of their signature cocktails with a hint of Tabasco & coriander, & it was super unique & surprisingly really good.
For food, we shared shrimp spring rolls that were beautifully presented & easy to split. The clams in lemongrass sauce were honestly incredible, I would love to know how they make that sauce. We also had marinated beef skewers that were cooked perfectly. For my main, I got the pork chop with rice & it was amazing, super flavorful & cooked just right. My friend had the chicken vermicelli bowl & loved it just as much. We both finished everything.
I also really appreciated how clearly the menu labels gluten free options, allergens, spice levels, & dietary preferences. As someone with celiac disease, that made me feel a lot safer eating there, & I had no issues after.
It's maybe slightly on the pricier side, but the portions are generous & the quality is there. I'll definitely be back.

My review is from having made an online order for the first time not by eating in.
I made an order at this restaurant from a previous La Presse review.
The web site order stayed 10-20min delivery time. My order came to my order one hour long!! Food was good.
Morale of the story…go eat at the restaurant & totally avoid making an online order.
Belle place. Belle ambiance. C'est mieux de réserver pour venir. Le service a été super rapide. Mais il y a eu une erreur car qui a rendu l'expérience moins agréable. Je recommande le pad thai qui est un peu assiette à prix a abordable. Les autres plats en mode tapas sont un peu cher à mon goût. Point positif il y a un menu enfant. C'est cool. Bref c'est bon mais l'erreur a gâché un peu le repas.
J'ai decouvert ce restaurant récemment & j'y suis allée 2 fois dans le dernier mois. J'ai pu goûter à 4 plats différents, tous excellents ! Les portions sont généreuses, les prix sont très raisonnables, & le service est impeccable. Je vais revenir avec plaisir !
Très belle découverte. Les cocktails, la nourriture étaient incroyables. Coup de coeur pour les crevettes panko & la salade de papaye. Merci Jayden pour le très bon service!
Une place a y retourner! Nourriture excellente, bon service. Seul point negatif de notre experience fut qu'ils n'avaient pas notre reservation, meme si elle avait été confirmé. Par contre ils avaient encore de la place, donc tout était bien.
Petit restaurant vietnamien situe sur Jarry entre St Denis & St Laurent. Joli décoration exotiques & élégant. Le service est amicale & personnels gentil. La nourriture était bonne sans plus. Le prix est correct aussi.
Faites attention au serveur un plus vieux asiatique anglophone qui était au comptoir ce soir. Il a essayé de me voler 15$ en TIP en prétendant qu'il n'avait pas de change pour 60$ sur une commande de 45$.
Souper très agréable! Il faisait un peu frais dans le resto mais on nous avait averti par cell.
Le serveur était très patient & gentil. C'était très bon.
Merci!
