Nice cozy place, we really loved this restaurant. We tried the chicken rolls, fried rice & the curry & one dish that comes in 8 balls which was delicious, the chicken rolls was also very good
First time trying pho, & I loved it! The Pho Boeuf was delicious, & the owner was very welcoming. He even gave us 4 complimentary spring rolls, which were amazing. Watching the FIFA match while enjoying such great food made the experience even better. Highly recommend, & I'll definitely be back! 🍜⚽
I love this restaurant, the first time I ordered Pho it was soooo goood , the atmosphere was so nice , the customer service so kind & such nice food , next time I came I ordered pho again because I mean why not , still as good no inconsistencies , then the next time I came I ordered Ban Mi , It was amazing omg I loved it , it was so fresh I was lowkey smiling eating it , the chicken roll was amazing , then after the next time I took takeout for Haleem for that I have critics , the taste wasn't bad but it was soooo watery , so it didn't feel nice eating it , I would suggest maybe making it more thicker by evaporating the water or shredding the beef like traditional haleem & evaporating it , I came home & evaporated the Haleem tasted much better , so it's not a matter of taste but texture so that needs improving & I really wished the chicken rolls had more chicken since 2 were 10$ mostly filled with veggies less chicken but either way I highly recommend this place based on the dishes I tried .

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 !
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.
I went there today with my friend, we had the beef pho, chicken pho & the entry for two that contained skewers of beef/chicken/shrimp & lamb, imperial rolls, chicken wings & fried potatoes. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! The broth of the pho is so flavourful it hits perfectly, the seasonings of the skewers & its meat are so flavourful & tender it melted on our tongues. The food was a big 10/10, I've NEVER tasted such a delicious meal, I was in a flow state with my friend. The service was extremely fast, we didn't even wait long, the lady was incredibly charming & sweet, she made sure we were comfortable & didn't need anything. It was a fair amount that we paid too which is rare to see in Montreal, for such tender meat & flavourful food it definitely deserved its price! So so so perfect, we will DEFINITELY come back!! ❤?❤?❤?❤?
