⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hidden gem in Pointe-Saint-Charles!

We had such a wonderful experience at Le Petit Sao. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome & took great care of us throughout our visit.

The food was absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The grilled chicken bowl was generous, packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, & perfectly cooked chicken. Every bite was full of authentic Vietnamese flavors.

What made our visit even more special was how family-friendly the restaurant is. My daughter Sophia loved it! There was a little play & coloring area that kept her happily entertained while we enjoyed our meal, which is every parent's dream. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & relaxed, making it perfect for families.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, bright, & thoughtfully decorated, creating a welcoming space where you instantly feel comfortable.

Thank you to the amazing team for the great food, kind service, & family-friendly environment. We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend Le Petit Sao to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food in Montreal!

Sophia gives it two thumbs up too! 😊 ❤?🍜🇻🇳

They were really careful with my son's food allergies. They took the time to clean the surface of the cooking area, etc. Love the broth! Very refreshing! Will definitely come back 😀

The food is very good. For lunch I like the banh mi, for something heavier, I like the bol bun.
The curry coco is really good but much better at the restaurant. When it's to-go it was missing a humph, I dunno. I still order it from time to time still.
