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.
Straightforward Vietnamese & south east Asian fare served fast without much fanfare. A welcoming joint for a quick or more elaborate meal. We were a large group of 6 adults & a toddler. They were very helpful & took good care of us.
en plus surprise il offre un tire bouchon pour NOUS ouvrir la bouteille & il nous charge 2.50$ plus taxe plus pourboire c est de l arnaque en plus la bouffe assez ordinaire
Located in the heart of Plateau Mont Royal, Bun Mam Ninh Kieu offers a large variety of vietnamese dishes.
The Banh Xeo (egg crepe with shrimp & bacon) was crispy & taste delicious when dipped into the fish sauce.
Grilled pork Bum Bao was my fav. The pork was grilled to perfection.
The Bun Bo Hue was ok, but acceptable.

Quaint Vietnamese restaurant off busy St Denis. The place is all about the food. Tried the Bun Mam & Bun Hoi with beef wrapped in betel leaf. The food is on per to any stall Saigon. Great place to try the dishes as it meant to be.
As always, wonderful food! My Vietnamese partner & I have to come here every time we visit Montreal. It's one of the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Canada.
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.
A staple go to of the area! Great portion size, price, & tasty food. I always get a rare beef pho, it hits the spot especially in the fall/winter time! the interior is nice & in winter has curtains to stop cold air from coming in which is very appreciated when dinning in.
L'un des meilleurs restaurant vietnamien de cuisine vietnamienne réellement authentique, à mon avis de Vietnamienne. Du moins en ce qui concerne les plats régionaux.
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.
