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.
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.
A cute gem ✨? located a few minutes from downtown. They start you up with green tea that sets tone & cleanses your palate. We order the vermicelli grilled chicken🍲 & the Beef Pho 🍜
Everything was yummy but the dish that truly shined through was the Beef Pho🍜
The broth was rich & deep in flavor.
- Probably one of the few halal Pho options in MTL
Le poulet était assaisonné comme il faut, les légumes marinés avaient de l'acide vraie, & le pain baguette avait de la mâche. Ils ont pas cheapé sur rien.
Nothing pretentious. No gentrification reflected in the price you pay for your cravings.
Daughter & I picked up a quick banh mi yesterday. Very fresh & delicious. Came with rolls which hit the spot. Service was very pleasant. Thank you we will be back !

Very generous portions for such a low price & the food is AMAZING! We ordered pho, skewers, & the fried chicken & they were all full of flavour & delicious. The staff is also super kind & accommodating. & did I mention that it's completely halal?! A must for all Montrealers & people visiting.
The customer service was great, & the food was very very tasty! Amazing chicken spring rolls. Restaurant has a great vibe too. Great place to come with friends.
