Customers describe Baan Lao as a welcoming halal fusion spot in Montreal where pho and banh mi along with skewers shine. The menu blends Vietnamese and Bangladeshi flavors with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and fair prices, earning praise for authenticity, lively vibes, and friendly, attentive service. Many reviews note a cozy, clean setting and a variety of dishes that work well for groups or families, with some extras like complimentary tea or a prayer space mentioned. A few experiences mention longer wait times or occasional unevenness in certain dishes, but the overall impression is of a reliable, approachable choice for halal Vietnamese and Bangladeshi cuisine.
La nourriture était délicieuse! & le personnel très amical, je recommande à 1000%, pour une expérience culinaire vous fesant voyager à travers divers saveurs!
Me & my friend came from Ottawa & found this place by pure coincidence, but I am happy that I did. The atmosphere was very hospitable & the food was amazing. Special shoutout to Tawfiq as his recommendation was my introduction to Vietnamese & Bangladeshi fusion cuisine.
The food was incredible & staff was really friendly. Just one little thing that could be better is the door at the entrance that wasn't closing completely each time it was opened by someone, so the cold air could come in. But besides that, I recommend it 100% if you want good food & that is halal.
Truly a hidden gem.
The food is amazing & the staff are great.
We got the appetizer for 2, beef pho & shrimp banh-mi, very delicious & flavorful choices. Good portions too.
Keep up the amazing work tabarakAllah.
We were there with intention of testing out as many items as possible during a Sunday lunch. We ate Fuchkas, Samosas, Daal puri, Haleem, Beef shish & chicken bhuna. All the items were really delicious. Fuchka were very crunchy & mouthfeel, daal puri (3 in a plate) are quite big & delicious, samosas (2 in a plate) are of decent size & taste, beef shish kebab were yummy & of decent portion & chicken bhuna brought us the flavour of back home. A wonderful place to eat!
Delicious food with large portions, relaxed atmosphere with very calming music. Service was pretty fast. Interesting clientele. Point St. Charles has another cool resto on the map.

Le pho j'en ai mangé beaucoup à Paris qui
était halal & c'est vraiment un bon pho le boeuf est super. Le bouillon a vraiment du goût. Rare d'en trouvé des très bons en halal
Point positif également il n'y a pas de boisson du groupe coca cola mais plein d'autre alternatives
Très bonne adresse.
Nous étions 5 à manger sur place, tout était excellent.
L'ambiance y est chaleureuse & le personnel très accueillant & à l'écoute.
Je recommande vivement.
