Fantastic food - everything was super flavorful. We tried the calamari, shrimp tempura, beef pho & chicken wonton pho. Finished every bite! The service was so kind & quick, please support this family-owned restaurant!!

Service was excellent

They were squeezing oranges when we ordered fresh squeezed oj

We had pho with well done beef 4 stars. The noodles were not fresh but made from dried noodles the broth was above average with its own flair

I had grilled beef plate 4.5 stars nicely marinated with lemon grass & etc

The fried calamari was salt & pepper style though made with bell pepper instead of fresh jalapenos 4.5 stars

Had a lovely friends gathering at Gaia. The service & food were great & the price reasonable. Also really like the BYOB concept. Everyone in our group of 9 chose from the combo menu & all were very pleased with their choice - from chicken, shrimp, beef or pork. I would definitely return!

We went to Gaia Restaurant yesterday for our Christmas party, & it was a wonderful experience. We were a group of over 20 people, & the restaurant arranged a small private room for us, which gave us great privacy & made the evening even more enjoyable.

Although I didn't take photos of the food we ordered, everything was beyond expectations-absolutely delicious. I honestly didn't know Gaia had such an excellent Vietnamese menu. We ordered several appetizers & every single one was outstanding. The fried soft-shell crabs were perfectly crispy, the beef sashimi is a must-try, & the fried chicken wings with sweet & sour sauce were incredibly tasty.

Everything-from the food to the service-was just perfect. The staff were friendly, attentive, & the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended for group gatherings & special occasions!

As dedicated Pho-lovers whose old Pho place kinda fell by the wayside, we are actively on the hunt for a new place we can haunt on the regular.

We found Gaia by Googling'best Pho in Montreal'. It popped up in the top 3 results in several searches. The reviews were great & it isn't far from the Jean Talon Market, where we already planning to go anyway, so we decided to hit two birds with one stone.

The restaurant itself is very cute. It's filled with old, gaudy furniture that is strangely charming & adds a little something different to the atmosphere. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly & prompt. We were seated & served immediately.

The menu has a large selection without being excessive. The only thing I didn't like - which I realize is petty on my part - is the fact that doesn't explain what each dish consists of. I don't eat things like cilantro, tripe, etc which many Pho restaurants use so I had to ask to make sure my order didn't contain these items.

I ordered the Soupe Tonkinoise with rare beef. It was spectacular! It came in a huge bowl & the broth was full of flavour & extremely tasty. The server gave us Sriracha & Hoisin sauces but neither were necessary. It was perfect exactly the way it was.

We loved it! Is it the best Pho we've ever had? No. But it's pretty damn good & we would definitely eat here again.

Authentic Vietnamese restaurant with good price! We visited since this restaurant has high rating & not far from the market. The food was really good & I was totally satisfied. We had grilled beef, pho, & fried rice. They were all good. When I come next time, I would like to order more traditional dishes.
