Review Summary

La Tonkinoise is widely praised for rich, flavorful soups and generous portions that make dining in or taking out feel comforting, with the beef Tonkinoise and pho often highlighted as standouts and the broth described as magical or deeply satisfying. The menu features staples like spring rolls, crispy noodles, pad thai, dumplings, and other Asian favorites, and overall the dishes are regarded as authentic and well prepared, with many noting strong value for the price. Service is described as fast, polite, and efficient when the place is not crowded, though a few visits mention a rushed pace or slower service during peak times and occasional miscommunications. The atmosphere is generally friendly and family oriented, sometimes with a limited seating area or lines at opening, and some reviews mention a large veranda for outdoor dining in nicer weather. While a minority express concerns about wine prices, portion sizes of some items, or the pace of service, the overall sentiment is positive and many patrons consider La Tonkinoise one of the best options in the area for Tonkinoise style bowls and other Vietnamese inspired dishes. Repeat visitors emphasize consistency and a welcoming staff, with several noting that the restaurant remains a reliable choice that does not disappoint.

We've been coming here for the last 4 years about 6-7 times a year, & our dining experience has never been less than 5/5 on any visit. Although here in Saint-Sauveur there are plenty of fabulous dining spots to dine & share a meal at, this one perticularly will not break the bank nor disappoint!

Tonight my wife ordered crispy noodles with chicken, I on the other hand had Soup Beef Tonkinoise.

Last, the entire staff is like a well oiled machine, they are quick, polite, efficient & they hussel!

For dinner make sure you come early as there is almost always a line-up when the doors are opened.

My personnel favourite is the Beef Soup Tonkinoise whick like everything else we've tasted here is exceptionally tasty, secret; the menu only displays small & large size however they do have extra-Large size soup available.

I could go on about most of their menu items however strongly urge to come & try the dishes yourself, after all you are reading these reviews for reccomemdations.

Last, in the summer time they have a fairly large veranda with tables if you wish to enjoy truly dining out.

ENJOY!!!

Long time clients, food always very good. No MSGs. Inside & outside possible. Teriyaki sizzling plate with lots of vegetables plus beef, chicken or shrimps. A delightful meal...

⭐?⭐? Two stars

One star for the quick service, & one star because the food had slightly more flavor than average. But I still can't help feeling ripped off after paying $20 for a vermicelli bowl.
Sure, $20 could be fair - but as you can see from the photos, the portion was mini, as they say in La Belle Province - petite, that is. The spring roll was filled with a bland, nondescript veggies (?) - definitely not meat - & the chicken? Maybe half a thigh. Possibly dark meat, but honestly, I couldn't tell.
I wouldn't recommend it. I left unsatisfied.

⭐?⭐? Deux étoiles

Une étoile pour le service rapide, & une étoile parce que les saveurs étaient légèrement au-dessus de la moyenne. Mais je ne peux pas m'empêcher de me sentir arnaqué après avoir payé 20 $ (avant taxes) pour un bol de vermicelles.
D'accord, 20 $, ça pourrait être raisonnable - mais comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos, la portion était « mint », comme on dit dans la Belle Province - c'est-à-dire minuscule. Le rouleau de printemps était rempli d'une pâte fade & sans saveur - certainement pas de la viande - & le poulet ? Peut-être une demi-cuisse. Possiblement de la viande brune, mais honnêtement, je ne pourrais pas le dire.
Je ne le recommanderais pas. Je suis reparti le ventre vide.

We have dined here before but were very disappointed on Saturday, April 12th. We went early & the place was very crowded. Terrace was closed. Tables & chairs are very near each other. The waiter misunderstood. I ordered soup. He offered extra veggies but didn't mention a charge. He brought a plate but I thought he meant extra veggies in the soup. Wouldn't take it back. The General Tao chicken was dry. The dumplings were good, but small. When we paid the bill, we realized that they also overcharged on the tip. They calculated the percentage on the total including including taxes, which they are not supposed to do. Will not return.

First time I went over a year ago, I was not wowed. Returned to their new location & I really enjoyed it! The soup was simple yet flavourful. I got the grilled chicken which was so much more tasty then the regular. It is a very small space inside just so you know! But I would go back for sure!
