Review Summary

Chez Lien is widely celebrated for its delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine, featuring fresh ingredients and generous portions at reasonable prices. The restaurant is frequently praised for its consistently excellent, friendly service and warm atmosphere, making it a popular choice for both regulars and first-time visitors. While the establishment is often described as a top-tier dining destination, guests should note that it operates as a bring-your-own-wine venue and accepts cash or debit only, and while parking can be limited, the overall quality of the food and the welcoming staff make it a highly recommended spot in Montreal.

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Sherbrooke Est. Tout était absolument délicieux & préparé avec soin.

J'ai particulièrement apprécié la fraîcheur des ingrédients. Les rouleaux étaient croustillants à souhait, servis avec une petite sauce qui rehausse parfaitement le goût. Le mélange de légumes croquants & les herbes fraîches ajoutent une belle touche de couleur & de saveur à chaque assiette.

L'expérience était très agréable du début à la fin. C'est une adresse que je recommande vivement pour ceux qui recherchent une cuisine authentique dans une ambiance sympathique. J'y retournerai sans hésiter.

Great prices, delicious food, & generous portions! We absolutely loved the service-everyone was so attentive & made us feel very welcome. 🤌🏻

They took the time to explain to us the menu, they came pretty often to our table to see if everything was okay.

I definitely recommend this place & will for sure be coming back!

Ça fait plusieurs fois que nous allons chez Lien. Le service est excellent & la cuisine est délicieuse & de santé. J'aurais bien aimé prendre la banane frite avec crème glacé mais...pus de place. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit.

Bonne nourriture vietnamienne, fine cuisine.
La soupe est la meilleure toujours fraîche.
Les prix sont raisonnables & le service bien courtois (comparé à d'autre « Lien »)
Ils ne prennent pas de cartes de crédits faut faire attention à cela, à part ça c'est bon.
Je recommande
