Reviews sketch Bun Mam Ninh Kieu as a neighborhood gem offering hearty, comfort Vietnamese and Southeast Asian dishes at reasonable prices, with large portions and fast, friendly service. The pho, especially the house special, is noted for depth and generous protein, though a few reviews mention occasional underseasoning that can be corrected with a touch of salt. Banh Mi and lemongrass beef bao are frequent favorites, along with other items like Bun Xeo and Bun Mam, praised for crisp textures, flavorful sauces, and menu variety beyond the usual soups. The Mi Lakay noodle soup is recommended for delivery, and strong coffee and vegetarian options also get good mentions. The setting is described as cozy and clean, with attentive staff and a welcoming, no fuss vibe that suits solo meals or larger groups. Some praise calls it one of the best authentic Vietnamese spots in Canada and a reliable go to. A minority report inconsistencies or smaller portions for the price and occasional flavor gaps, but overall the place is seen as versatile and satisfying for casual meals.
The service was amazing. The staff were really kind & explained the menu to us. The Pho & the bahn mi were all really delicious. The star of the show was the Vietnamese Coffee. We had two at dinner & came back the next day for more coffee to go, it was amazing! Highly recommend this place
I you're ordering for delivery, I recommend the Mi Lakay noodle soup. The broth has depth & flavor. The noodles & the topping ingredients were good too at this price point.

The Bun Mam is so good, the most authentic Bun Mam ever among the East-Coast, price is reasonable, fresh highly recommended! Will come back for sure. Hidden Gem in Montreal.
Excellente cuisine & service très agréable!
J'ai toujours pris en take out, donc aucune idée de comment l'ambiance est. Pour la bouffe, je recommande !

The food was really good. I've been ordering delivery for Bun Mam many times before, but then I forgot about the place as I stopped working at my past job. I came back a bit after a year after, also as my first time dining in a couple days ago. The food is top notch, not too much of a waiting time, yet food is still flavourful. Don't really recommend the booths as they are actually quite small, especially if you're tall &/or big, you would have no leg room, nor space between your stomach vs the table. However, there are other tables for you to choose of course.
On y est allé cet après midi. Super bouffe super resto. Il y a beaucoup de choix sur le menu, une variété de tous les plats vietnamiens connus & moins connus. Le serveur était vraiment gentil & offrait un excellent service. Je recommande vivement à tous.
I loved the seasoning, the Tom Yum soup was delicious, the desserts, the starters, everything was to our complete satisfaction, the staff was very friendly & gave us good suggestions, totally recommended.
Cadre assez banal mais excellente cuisine vietnamienne. Les crêpes vietnamiennes (Ban Xeo) sont au menu ce qui est assez rare. Très bon Pho. Je recommande vraiment.

I picked up a banh mi the other day. It was excellent & the service was so friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm & inviting as well, wish I could've stayed. I'll definitely be back! I highly recommend giving this place a try :)
I have been trying banh mi all over Montreal for a while now, trying to find the best ones & so far this one is my favourite! I had the braised pork with hot peppers on it & it was so tasty & flavourful, with the right amount of heat (if you like it spicy) & a truly excellent bun - fresh, soft & warm. Would highly recommend!

On a mangé le boeuf citronnelle au banh mi, très recommandé ! Le pain était frais & le viande était juteux & savoureux! On reviendra pour essayer autres choses. 🥖
Stopped here while on a weekend trip to Montreal. I had the best Banh Mi I've ever had here. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an amazing, quick, fresh, & affordable meal. 😁
I’ve never had Bun Mam before so I can’t tell whether it’s authentic or not but it’s really delicious! I finished everything in my bowl. Definitely recommend the bun Mam here!
