Update July 2026
The beef Bahn mi quality has dropped, not just the quality of meat but the amount. Still pretty good but not nearly as delicious as when they first opened. Sometimes I still get a good sandwich but more often now it's not as good. A bit tough. Maybe something about who's cooking that day? Not sure.
Additionally they changed the combo to have spring rolls instead of a drink & made it more expensive. I don't really want spring rolls but they don't seem to sell the sandwich by itself. I preferred the drink if anything.
The staff continues to be friendly. It's still 4 stars just not wowing me with 5 stars like before

Original review-Good Bahn mi! I stopped by here on a walk & decided to try it out. Sandwich was fresh & tasty & really filling. They were very friendly & nice. The place is new & clean, brightly lit cafeteria vibes, seems like a good place for lunch. I'll be back glad to see something new in the neighborhood

I'm so happy to find a halal pho restaurant in Montreal. I ordered the Beef Pho, Chicken Spring Rolls, & Chicken Fried Rice.

The chicken fried rice was absolutely delicious, & the seasoning was perfect. It tasted just like authentic Indonesian fried rice. The chicken spring rolls were crispy & flavorful, & the Beef Pho was also excellent, with a generous amount of tender beef.

The restaurant staff were very friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

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! 🍜⚽
