Reviews celebrate La Belle Tonki for a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, creative fusion dishes and generous portions, with flavors ranging from pho and ramen to poutine and carpaccio, plus tasty dumplings and desserts, while noting that the place can be busy and walk ins may face a wait, yet the overall experience comes across as delicious, lively and worth the visit.
This a great unpretentious restaurant with vibrant south east asian vibe. Beef carpaccio was awesome, one the the best dishes in a while. Price are super reasonable, what's not to like about this place?
I tried the Ramen & Poutine DAC Biet at La Belle Tonki, & both completely blew me away. The Ramen Laksa was rich, creamy, & packed with flavor a perfect balance of spice & coconut that warmed me up in the very cold night instantly.
The Poutine DAC Biet was another highlight, classic Quebec comfort food with a fun twist. Crispy fries, melty cheese curds, & that savory gravy that ties everything together. You can tell they put real care into combining Asian & Montreal street food Fusion in a way that totally works.
Ending everything with their Creme Brulee Cafe Viet & Amaretto.
The vibe of the place was super chill & welcoming, & the staff were friendly & attentive.
Not to mention the Manga/Old School/Gaming vibe that you get from the decoration!
Definitely we'll be back for more from this spot.

All around solid meal! We got a variety of dishes: poutine with meatballs/fried chicken, noodles with shrimp paste, papaya salad - all of which were highly delicious. I like that they had a good mix of traditional Southeast Asian dishes & those with a Montreal twist. Vibes were also excellent inside the restaurant.
A super hip place that is always full when I pass by so today was my chance - it was 5:30 pm & I found a spot, yay! Their mocktails are great - tried the guava Eat Me. Also had the kimcheesy poutine & its only problem was that it wasn't hot enough (temperature-wise) so the cheese curds would melt. Otherwise, it was the perfect Asian fusion comfort food!
It was my first time trying an asian fusion restaurant. The food was good. I liked the poutine kimcheesy, just enough spicy. They don't have any paper menu, so must scan QR code. That might be an issue for some. The service was great. The decoration is nice. I like their wall covered with manga. At the entrance they have a cool one piece bounty collection cards. One of their bathroom doors is covered with rappers.
Asian approved 🫰🏼Came here to celebrate a birthday & everything from drinks (Tofu Fa,Kakashi) to food (Dac Biêt Poutine, Cod Amok, Drip Tonki Roch Burger, Pandan Crème Brûlée) to service (busy Friday night but still balanced between leaving us to talk vs helping us with orders) was perfect. We come from an island city where the national pastime is eating & if La Belle Tonki set up there, it would thrive. Thanks again for a great birthday date night!

I was craving Asian food but wanted to have some quintessential "Montreal" food & this ticked all the boxes. We ordered the dac biet poutine & the mee kola. This may sound blasphemous to poutine purists but the poutine with the pho-infused gravy was hands down the best poutine we have ever had. My only regret is that the serving sizes were too large & there were only 2 of us so we weren't able to try more dishes!
Groovy hole in the wall Asian fusion restaurant. Has a short menu of excellent dishes. Great service, even with the chaos of a jam packed restaurant. Best make reservations.
Okay, so we came here the same day after experiencing the magnificence of Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood, because we found out that this place was the sister restaurant & it was that damn good. Best choice ever. Asian fusion at its finest. Immaculate vibes, just like their other restaurant -full of hip hop, anime, & Asian pop culture. The lemonade smacked so hard we had to get another one to go. Their Tonki Burger, was an innovatively delicious take on a crispy chicken sandwich, which also hella smacked -pickled veggies & toppings on lock. The pho was just chef's kiss all around. They had in house hot sauce that was a tasteful step up from chili garlic & went so so well with the dish -&, super cool for people like my partner who eat less, they had a petit pho option. The creme brulee dessert was also top tier -perfect crust on top, leading to a pudding of sheer decadence. It tasted to me like there were hints of matcha -but either way, an amazing rendition. The service & our waitress were super chill, welcoming, & just so sweet. We can't wait to come back & try everything else on the menu. A shiny gem -for real.
Good modern asian fusion (asia + qc wink wink poutine wink wink cheese curd wink wink burgers) Service is great, although best fitted for younger people. I recommend the poutine keemcheesy. The cheesy ramen was good, but too spicy unfortunately (& I'm usually a fan of spiciness)

Always a line up! But you can give your name & go get a drink at the bar a Vin not too far!
Great Asian fusion food! Great atmosphere & decor! & cute drinks!
So yummy & unique & good! Just what we were looking for. Got some hip hop, Asian mama kitchen, underground artsy - vibes. Reminds me of the bay area! We will definitely be back for round 2!
