We went for dinner.
I was surprised with the comments since I felt it was very overpriced.
Meal was ok, portion size ok.
We were served very quick though.
Won't be returning since there are better vietnamese restaurants around.

Restaurant avec une belle décoration & avec un service très attentionné & sympathique.
Il y a un bon choix de soupes & de plats à des prix raisonnables.
I decided to try this restaurant named Gaia based on the great google score it has. I never been so disappointed in my life. The pho soup tasted nothing at all, the meat was over over-cooked, the meatballs tasted funny…
I had to ask for service since they assigned us a place but weren't eager to offer water or anything really. The food was brought rapidly I must say, but the taste deterred me.
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.
Nous sommes arrivés un peu tôt en fin d'après-midi car nous ne voulions pas manquer la finale de l'Omnium international de tennis. Le service était impeccable & la nourriture à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le PadThai était simplement délicieux & épicée juste à point. C'est un endroit idéal à cause de ses heures d'ouverture pour les amateurs de tennis, ce n'est qu'à 13 minutes de marche du stade IGA.
