Review Summary

Baan Lao is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering a unique fusion of Bangladeshi and Vietnamese cuisine that is completely halal. Customers frequently praise the depth of flavor in dishes like the beef pho, banh mi, and various grilled skewers, often highlighting the freshness of ingredients and generous portion sizes. While the restaurant is noted for its cozy, family-operated atmosphere and exceptionally welcoming service, some diners mention that wait times can occasionally be longer during peak hours. Overall, the combination of affordable pricing, attentive hospitality, and a menu that successfully blends diverse flavors makes it a highly recommended destination for both local residents and visitors.

Picture included of entire order - hadn't taken a bite yet.

This order was around $40 of food, & nothing like the pictures provided on their site. As an example, one of the skewers came with two small pieces of chicken instead.

After ordering, the order took around an hour to come in, then the delivery said it was delivered 10 minutes prior to it actually being delivered cold.

The food was delicious, though I'd suggest ordering more if it's within your price range. The fish bhuna (top right) was flavourful & tender but multiple bites came with a bone included. The chicken skewers were tender & crispy, & the dal puri (top left) was flaky & pleasant.

Also important to note I ordered an hour before close & they had warned me they were extremely busy, so this could explain the wait.

The owner is really nice & loves to get to know the customers. I came all the way from New Jersey, USA to try Halal Pho for the first time & it was amazing! Flavorful with loads of toppings to add on the side. I got some complimentary green tea with my meal too. Nice Bangladeshi/Vietnamese fusion. 🇧🇩🇻🇳

Excellent service à la clientèle avec un accueil chaleureux. Le riz frit était très bon, je recommande ! Le poulet dans le pho est très bon aussi.

Quelle magnifique découverte dans le quartier. Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux & l'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse.

La présentation des plats sur les planches en bois est superbe. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le riz frit servi dans son bol en bois rustique, c'était vraiment savoureux. Tout était frais & parfaitement préparé.

Nous reviendrons sans aucune hésitation pour tester le reste de la carte. C'est devenu une de nos adresses favorites à Montréal.

Had the pho with beef & the chicken banh mi, & both were really good. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, & everything was full of flavor. The service was excellent as well, friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Overall, a great experience & I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
