Review Summary

Banh Mi Madame Ly receives broad praise for a diverse menu and consistently tasty, affordable dishes, especially the banh mi, dumplings, tonkinoise chicken soup, spring rolls and pad Thai, with many noting friendly service, cleanliness and a casual, unpretentious vibe. The restaurant is described as a reliable go to with good value and a willingness to accommodate, and some reviews call it the best banh mi in Montreal or a favorite for years. However, several issues appear in the mix: delivery can be slow and the food arrives cold, some soups or sauces are too sweet or over-sauced, and one or two dishes are not as generous or crispy as expected. Vegan options are available and well prepared, and lunch combos offer a good deal. Overall the impression is of a popular, accessible spot that many return to, while enjoying strong flavors and noting occasional inconsistency.

Waited over 1 hour 46 minutes & Paid $83 for takeout that arrived cold & basically inedible. Two chicken wonton soups were flavorless. The sauteed shrimp soup had a strong, unpleasant seafood smell & no flavor - my partner could not eat it. The pad thai was extremely dry with no vegetables, & the extra chicken was dry & cold. The only decent part was the vermicelli noodles on the side, but the overall order was not acceptable. Requested a full refund through uber & they didn't want to because the policies around the merchant.

Ive ordered from here many times in the past & its always pretty tasty but today we ordered a pho & chicken pho & I gotta say it was really underwhelming. Lacked flavour - even salt. The broth was warm at most. Hopefully it was just an isolated incident. Unfortunately I don't think we will ordering again.

Me & my boyfriend go to Madame Ly every chance we get & we just love it so much. The staff is always so nice & the food is so delicious. The ban mai's are super affordable around 10$ & they're the best we've had in town by far. Their spicy chicken soup is also the best thing for cold weather & rainy days. We have now become regulars & always look forward to our next trip there.

Chicken in pad Thai was not cooked enough (still pink in some parts). The shrimp in the pad Thai was over cooked. The noodles in the pad Thai didn't taste very good.

Food was either over cooked or undercooked which is not great when it's chicken...

Portions for takeout is very small. Huge amount of rice instead to fill the box. The genral Tao chicken was so dry & hard. I've never had chicken so hard. I don't recommend this place. The rice was good at least.
