Le très bon point du restaurant c'est la cuisine, mon poulet au curry jaune était très bon ! Un peu sucré & ultra croustillant ☺️ Service professionnel & attentionné, à la fin du repas vous aurez droit à vos fortune cookies 😋 Le seul point négatif que je vois est la salle du restaurant, très froide & sans charme, heureusement les lumières sont tamisées ! & n'oubliez pas d'amener votre vin si vous avez envie d'un bon verre pour accompagner le repas.
I live near this place. Never in my life have I had such consistency on what became my expectations from them. Top to bottom, this place is a gem! The flavors & texture of the foods will floor you. Atmosphere is cute & cozy if you eat in. BYO makes it that much better & they will cater to your BYO the moment you pull it out. Staff are top notch! You will never leave this place disappointed.

Very weird vibes walking into this restaurant. Staff were friendly. Ordered the small noodle bowl, didn't realize how small it would be....Not worth it.
Nous avons très bien mangé dans ce petit restaurant à deux pas de notre hôtel. L'ambiance est tamisée, nous avons même eu des petits biscuits à la fin de notre repas. Le curry est délicieux !
It is a simple but super solid place to have dinner. I had the Shrimp Pad Thai, & it was excellent. It was not too expensive, & the service was attentive & polite. I will definitely go back. When I read the reviews about poor authenticity, I roll my eyes. This is not Vietnam. My date & I were happy with tasty fresh food at a very reasonable price & polite service with a smile.

Not really authentic enough for my taste. We ordered the small vermicelli noodle, & a roll, that was enough to realize that I am glad I didn't order the large bowl. The broth did not have enough lemongrass flavor, barely any noodle & the beef was the tiniest piece. Atmosphere was meh, did remind me of a restaurant in Vietnam, but that's as close as authentic you get.
Meilleur resto à vie que j'ai fréquenté quand je travaillais à Montreal pendant plus de 8 ans presque 2 fois semaine. Je m'ennuie tellement de ne pas l'avoir près de chez moi maintenant ou qu'il existe des copies mais non c'est endroit est unique pour tout.
