Review Summary

Baan Lao emerges in these reviews as a warm, affordable halal friendly spot that blends Bangladeshi, Vietnamese and halal options in a cozy, family owned space. Diners praise fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavorful pho and banh mi, with beef pho and skewers singled out as standouts and the broth described as rich and well balanced. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, often with small perks like complimentary tea, and the atmosphere makes it a good spot for families and friends, open late and conveniently near transit. Dishes such as grilled skewers, fuchka, samosas, and vegetarian options appear in strong praise, while a few reviews note slower service during busy times, occasional inconsistency in some orders, and isolated issues like a stray hair or drink quality. Overall, Baan Lao is viewed as a cozy, value driven halal dining option worth trying for those seeking a halal Vietnamese and Bangladeshi fusion.

This spot is in a residential neighborhood & feels like a true hidden gem. It's small, family-owned, & super welcoming. We got the combo for two & a chicken bánh mì, & everything looked amazing - & tasted even better.
The bánh mì was honestly the best I've ever had, & the whole meal was an easy 10/10. Hands down, this place beats a lot of Lao restaurants I've tried. Definitely feels like one of the best restaurants in town. Also, the food was halal.

Great great experience. The customer service was amazing & then lady was very sweet to us & made sure we were comfortable. Complementary tea was provided! The food was unexpectedly delicious.We got the beef pho, shrimp pho, haleem with puri, calamari, beef skewers, & vegetable rolls. This was my first time trying & pho & it was good. I highly recommend this place if your looking for comforting hot delicious food.There is also a small prayer room as well!!

?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresh, fast, Halal, & delicious!
?I had a great experience at Baan Lao. We ordered the grilled skewers & the fried rice, & everything was delicious. You can really taste that the ingredients are fresh-the vegetables were crisp & the meat was tender, not heavy or greasy.
?Another huge plus was the speed. The food came out fast enough for a busy day, making this the perfect spot if you are on a tight schedule but still want a high-quality meal. Highly recommend!

Everything about Baan Lao speaks to the cultural hub that Montreal is. Truly enjoyed the experience & would encourage anyone who wants to better understand what'halal vietnamese' is to check this place out.

To start, the place is extremely clean & neat, tailoring to & exuding professionalism. The kind lady at the reception was exceptionally welcoming, & very tending & interacting.

We ordered some of the chicken & beef skewers, along with some wings & potato wedges, as well as some pho & shrimps. Upon the arrival of the food, we were surprised at the large portions, specially the size of the pho. The food came in warm & fresh, & the meats were extremely tender. My personal favorite was the saucy wings ;)

Noteworthy to mention, but they also had a spot for praying :)
Overall, I would highly recommend anyone looking for an authentic cuisine to give them a drop by. Thanks!
