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.
Honestly good service & good food! I too. The spring roll with chicken & I liked it - found the peanut butter sauce was tasty:) I'd like to come back & try more items on the menu.
Very easy going spot, stepped in for a quick bite & was not disappointed. Bao, banh mi & the pho were fresh & brought out in generous portions. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was also delicious
Best pho in town at this no-nonsense & authentic Vietnamese restaurant on the Plateau. The raw beef pho tay stands out because of a fragrant broth; good quality beef; Al dente noodles & five alarm fire chile oil. Run by a mother & her two sons, this place has a homey vibe (aquariums & a television perpetually turned on). Equally impressive are the spicy papaya salad & the bao, or steamed buns. This has become my go-to neighborhood restaurant & I'm never disappointed.
Ce petit resto tire son nom d'un met vietnamien peu connu: la soupe bun mam. Composé de nouilles de riz avec légumes, porc, calmar & poisson, dans un bouillon fermenté riche & épicé. C'était un vrai délice & une heureuse découverte. Décor sobre. Serveur sympathique. Prix raisonnable.

En cette journée pluvieuse, nous avions trouver ce petit resto à dix pas de notre rb&nb. Nous avions apprécier la nourriture qui d'où les portions sont généreuses & savoureuse. J'ai prix une soupe dont les saveur n'était pas du tout décevante. Le petit décore avec ces aquariums me fait penser les restaurant asiatique montréalais de mon enfance. Service rapide avec un sourire. J'y retourne 🍜🥟🍤

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 :)
We were excited about it but then we couldn't finished it. The bouillon was quite dull. Lacked of that yummy pho thing. The ingredients looked sad. Big bowl but not much in it. We walked out rather disappointed. Service is ok, location is great cuz if you can't finish your food either, you can walk easily get a poutine not too fa
Such a wide variety 0f Vietnamese dishes. Really a great place if you want to venture out of the usual grillades, pho & Bahn Mi. Really worth a try. Also very good. I've been out of the restaurant for almost an hour & I'm still thinking about how great a meal I had

You'll find specialties here that you won't easily find at other Vietnamese places. Be adventurous & try something other than pho / banh mi even though those are delicious here, too.
J'ai pris un banh mi traditionnel pour emporter & j'ai été plus que satisfaite. Le pain était chaud & frais. En plus, il m'a été servi avec le sourire & rapidement.
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!
