Small but remarkable, the dining room only has a few tables and the menu only a few items but this Vietnamese Restaurant, Banh Xeo Minh, is popular with the local crowd.
Banh Xeo Minh is described as a true Vietnamese casual spot with generous portions and authentic flavors that recall meals in Vietnam, especially the crispy banh xeo and soft shrimp with shells. The menu covers rice rolls and a standout banh xeo, while pho is frequently praised as excellent and among the best outside Vietnam. The dining room is noted as well lit and cozy with friendly, accommodating service that helps guests navigate unfamiliar dishes, including vegetarian options. Portions are large and value is strong, though some reviews flag higher prices for banh xeo and a spicy soup that can be milder than expected. Overall the consensus points to high quality, consistent results, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a reliable choice for Vietnamese cuisine in Montreal, with the authenticity and preparation standing out.
really cool place where you can banh xeo ( Vietnamese crepe stuffed with pork, shrimp, bean sprout that you rolled in lettuce leaf & dip in nuoc mam sauce) They are delicious & savory.
Resto typique vietnamien. Les pho sont savoureux, les portions génereuses & cest le petit resto qui se rapproche le plus de nos expériences culinaires au Vietnam
For the authenticity of the food, this place deserves more than five stars. It tastes exactly how my family would prepare for it.
I am glad that this restaurant is in my neighbourhood that I could go there often. Parking is forbidden in front of the restaurant. That's the only downside.
We've been looking for some authentic Vietnamese rice rolls in town, but not many still do them anymore. Banh Xeo Minh seems to be mainly specialized in rice rolls & they were excellent.
Their Banh Xeo was also very tasty, at first I found it weird that they cooked the shrimp with the shell but after trying it out, we liked it, they were soft shell shrimps & after pan frying it, the scrambled egg & shrimp were very crispy. Definitely try that out.
The food was good, portion wise, I wish they'd give you a tiny bit more? Value wise, is a 4 stars but tastes wise I ended up scoring Banh Xeo Minh a 5. Their spicy soup is decent, a bit on the mild side, not as flavorful as I expected.
They also sell their homemade (?) Cha Lua (Vietnamese pork roll) & is good. Recommended to try.

Very interesting food (for a non- Vietnamese person, like me). Tasty.
Well-lit & pleasant restaurant.
Waiter was welcoming. My daughter knew how to eat the dishes, but if you're not sure, certainly the waiter could advise you! 😊It was a cool culinary experience!
The food was excellent, with the standout being the banh xeo, which had a perfectly crispy crust. Prices are a bit high ($19 for the regular banh xeo), but worth it if you're craving quality Vietnamese cuisine.
