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.
+++ Excellent selection of pho, bahn mi, & other Vietnamese dishes. +++ Friendly & attentive service. +++ Rapid cooking process. --- Uneven pricing. This place plays the hand it's been dealt with confidence & bravado. Looking like an unassuming corner-shop on the outside, the interior reveals a tastefully decorated little place & a staff that always bears a sunny disposition. Stick to the classics to guarantee a tasty meal at a fair price.
i got the beef flank pho to go. the beef flank was tender & flavorful, the broth not so much. adequate portion size, average overall, but it did its job of fulfilling my need for warm soup & carbs

Had a late lunch here & ordered pho, bun mam, & rice with short ribs. The pho was quite ordinary, nothing too special. The short ribs were a bit chewy, making it challenging for the kids to enjoy. On the positive side, the bun mam was delicious, incredibly flavorful, & loaded with seafood. However, despite ordering an XL portion, I left still feeling hungry. Service was quick & courteous.
I ordered the vegan bao which had tofu inside with veggies. One order came with 2 baos. I did not know, so I ordered 2 & ended up with 4 baos. It was delicious.
As a Vietnamese, I always seek out Viet food wherever I go. We came across this little restaurant after having some mediocre Portuguese chicken from a famous place nearby & were surprised by how good it was. I was so happy to finally see some authentic Viet dishes such as canh bun, bun oc, goi oc, etc. Would definitely come back!
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!
I usually enjoy stoping by here for a quick lunch. The Banh Mi selection is good & affordable. The Bun are a little dry, but big portions.
Tonight I ordered online directly from the website so the restaurant wouldn't have to pay any fees to 3rd party delivery companies. My order was estimated to arrive in 25 minutes. I ended up waiting 90 minutes for two Banh Mi, a lemonade & 2 spring rolls.
I live a 4 minute drive away.
When the delivery driver finally showed up, the Bahn Mi was the incorrect order (I was charged for beef, & was given two traditional rolls that cost less), & my drink was missing.
When I called to ask about my $10 of missing items, the phone was ringing out.
J'ai découvert ce resto par une émission de télé, je n'avais jamais mangé de banh mi ..donc je n'avais aucune référence. C'est absolument délicieux..vraiment pas cher & des produits frais..avec la situation actuelle j'ai dû manger dans l'auto mais j'ai hâte de pouvoir aller manger sur place & essayer d'autre plat..c'est un coup de coeur!
J'ai commandé depuis plus d'une heure et demie. Toujours rien.J'ai beau faire le numéro de téléphone, aucune réponse après 3 essais. J'espère que je serai remboursé. En tout cas, pour moi, c'est -5/5!
