I'm surprised at the rating here. Ordered from uber eats & was thinking of finding it on google maps to start it so I can go in person cause that's how much I liked my order. I had the satay pho with roast beef & the pad thai with chicken. Both were so good & portions were huge. They included a lot of condiments.

Hi so I've never visited the restaurant, I always order from Uber Eats. I see a lot of bad reviews about sandwiches which I've never tried. Pho is all I order because the noodles are the BEST in town. They are thick & sticky, everywhere else is so thin. They really nail their flavour of pho & I love that they have a filet mignon beef too. EDIT: They changed the thick noodles to thin 😢 such a loss..

Ordered the pho soup, they only had rare beef as the meat option. Not the best place to get pho; there's better neighborhood pho around. It's more of fast food type of spot. There are plenty seats for eat in.

My craving for a savory Banh Mì sandwich led me to the doors of Banh Mì 79, conveniently located in a bustling yet accessible part of the town. The ease of finding a parking spot set a positive tone for the experience ahead.

The interior of the restaurant exudes a subtle charm, with a warm & inviting ambiance complimented by the courtesy of the staff. My order, a spicy lemongrass beef Banh Mì, was delivered with efficiency, & its size hinted at a satisfying meal. The first bite into the warm, crispy, yet soft bun set the stage for high expectations.

However, the unfolding experience did not fully align with the initial promise. The distinct flavor of lemongrass was absent, a notable omission that made the sandwich fall short of authenticity. The coriander, although fresh, was poorly presented, hanging untidily out of the sandwich. The toppings were sparse, & the beef was chewy, not offering the tender, succulent bite one would hope for.

The request for a spicy kick was inconsistently met; the spice was concentrated on one end of the sandwich, leaving the other bereft of the desired heat. Each bite presented a fluctuation between the contrasting worlds of spice & blandness.

In conclusion, my visit to Banh Mì 79 was a journey through highs & lows. The restaurant delivered on speed, service, & the quality of the bun, yet faltered on flavor consistency, presentation, & meat quality. The experience, although not entirely unpleasant, was ultimately unremarkable – satisfying the immediate hunger but leaving the deeper craving for a truly exceptional Banh Mì unmet.

We’ve been here a few times & have eaten inside. It’s more of a fast food style sit down over a restaurant. They have high tables & stools to sit on. This time we ordered the beef pot Thai & the barbeque chicken vermicelli with two imperial rolls. The imperial rolls Were not as crunchy as expected, kind of felt like they weren’t made fresh on the spot. The dipping sauce was enjoyable. Even though you’re ordering to eat in, they serve your food in a box, not sure how I feel about that. I guess it could be a good thing if you can’t finish your meal & would like to take it home with you. You have chopsticks option & they do also have forks if you’re unable to use chopsticks. The barbeque chicken was good. They offer either fish sauce or soya sauce as a dressing. The beef pad, Thai, however, was slightly more flavorful. It’s best if you’re walking to this restaurant since parking can be difficult to find on Saint Catherine Street, it’s also possible to find a parking garage nearby to enjoy the area on foot.
