Authentic Vietnamese cuisine nestled in the heart of little Italy. I highly recommend Restaurant Gaia for lunch or dinner. The food is very superb & the service is amazing. 10 out of 10!

Had lunch here yesterday . Excellent food , good prices . We got the 30$ combo & some extra appetizers. Only thing I would uld change is we ordered ice-cream with our fried banana dessert they added chocolate sauce & strawberry ice-cream really prefer vanilla ice-cream & no chocolate sauce for.me personally simple is best . Good portions & they have a 15$ lunch special I will go back & try .

Absolutely amazing food, authentic Vietnamese. I went there with my team for lunch & everyone enjoyed it! I had Tonkiniose with chicken & it warmed me on a cold day… We'll be back soon!

4.0

Food is excellent & service is rapid. Had lunch late so it was not busy. Service was efficient but a bit rushed & impersonal. The food compensated for it as it was excellent with a very reasonable price. The decoration & atmosphere is odd. It doesn't fit Vietnamese restaurant & it seems they kept everything from the previous restaurant. Hopefully they will keep improving the inside as their food is excellent.

Great lunch special & quick service. Had the general tao & the portion was generous, not too sweet & not too saucy.

The lunch special is a good deal because you can choose between 10 different options & it costs $15 CAD. I got the Chicken with peanuts sauce which is good portion with rice & vegetables but I think it needs more salt & level up the profile of the dish. It's in a good path but still delivers under what I was expecting. Beyond that, service is nice & place is comfortable. Next time I'll try a different dish just to compare. Good value for your money. I ended up full.
