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.

The menu has a great variety of traditional dishes. I ordered the Ph? ??c bi?t (Special Beef Noodle Soup), & it was one of the best I've had outside of Vietnam. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy & welcoming, with beautiful Vietnamese-inspired decor. The staff was friendly, attentive, & happy to recommend dishes for first-time visitors.

5.0

The service was amazing! They had English menus & the wait staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome & explained everything on the menu. They even threw in a free spring roll which was so generous & thoughtful of them. The appetizer which was the beef wrapped in leaves was very unique & unlike anything I've tried before. I would get it again! The grilled meats were tasty too. I liked the chicken & the beef. They tasted like your typical Vietnamese meats. The soup was interesting because of the vegetables but it had good amount of depth! I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend coming here for your Vietnamese cravings! Even as a tourist I appreciated the atmosphere & the warm welcome we received. Love the couple from Vancouver :3
