Tout simplement délicieux service très agréable, personnel accueillant, on manquait de rien. Le jeune homme n'a même pas attendu qu'on soit assis pour déboucher la bouteille de vin & nous servire une coupe, tout simplement parfait comme soirée. Je recommande à tout les gens qui apprécient une belle soirée avec la famille ou des amis.
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
To answer the owner: Yes this is the right restaurant. No problem with any servers, they were very friendly. The service was just very slow & the food extremely bland & tasteless.
Great Viet place in Montreal. The beef roll appetizer is not commonly found in other Viet places I've been to & very authentic. The server was very nice & walked us through the menu & gave his recommendations. The English menu is on their website.
Excellent restaurant pour des réservations de gorupe. Hier nous avions un service funéraire pour un ami de longue date, j,ai réservé pour 20 & le jour même une quinzaine de personnes se sont ajoutés, les employés nous ont accomodés à tous les niveaux. On a eu une section complète du resto, le service & la nourriture étaient impéccable. L'atmosphère chaleurex & comfortable. Staff efficace , courtois & super service ! : )

Je n'étais jamais retournée chez Lien depuis son départ de la rue Mont-Royal il y a plusieurs années! Ce n'était pas mauvais mais, j'apprécie moins la cuisine asiatique "américanisée"... Je préfère de loin les endroits où il y a des plats plus traditionnels sur le menu.... Mais tout de même, les cuissons étaients bien & les aliments frais... Mention spéciale au général Tao pas trop sucré que mon ami a gentillement voulu me faire goûter... On a passé un beau moment car l'ambiance est bien elle aussi malgré le service plutôt impersonnel...
Des serveurs & propriétaires très gentils & accueillants. Ils nous ont même servi du thé pendant qu'on attendait une commande pour emporter. La bouffe était vraiment très satisfaisante & santé !
Toute la famille adore leur cuisine. Nous commandons pour emporter pratiquement chaque semaine à cet endroit, car ils offres des repas de grandes qualités pour un prix raisonnable. L'entré de won ton frits est pour nous un incontournable. Je ne peux donc faire autrement que de recommander fortement ce restaurant.
