Review Summary

Baan Lao is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering a unique fusion of Bangladeshi and Vietnamese cuisine that is completely halal. Customers frequently praise the depth of flavor in dishes like the beef pho, banh mi, and various grilled skewers, often highlighting the freshness of ingredients and generous portion sizes. While the restaurant is noted for its cozy, family-operated atmosphere and exceptionally welcoming service, some diners mention that wait times can occasionally be longer during peak hours. Overall, the combination of affordable pricing, attentive hospitality, and a menu that successfully blends diverse flavors makes it a highly recommended destination for both local residents and visitors.

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

Delicious food. I was confused about the combination but the 2 types of cuisine: Viet (I think also thai) & Bangladesh, reflect the 2 owners.

I only tried food that was Bangladesh as that was different for me & it did not disappoint! The food was so good I actually forgot to take a picture. Some items weren't available when we went Sunday at around 8pm. We had entrees of Fuchka which ws so interesting to eat. It was light, crispy on the outside I couldn't make sense of what it would taste like or if I'd like it based on reading the description but it's delicious & full of flavor & feels light & texturally, works.

For my main I had the chicken Bhuna, never having tried it before. It's not a heavy rich curry but that doesn't mean it lacks flavor. It feels lighter in some ways than a Japanese curry or Indian curry I've had but it had some familiar tones. Also really good.

We dined in & tea was included which was nice as so many places charge for this. Highly recommend, good prices, will go back.

Tous les plats étaient délicieux, avec un accueil chaleureux. Quel plaisir de pouvoir goûter la fusion de la cuisine vietnamienne & bangladaise & tout est halal! Le tout à un prix abordable.
