If 'sao' means portion you've named yourselves perfectly, & the food is crazy overpriced for what you're getting.

Highly recommend the Chicken Curry Coco. The cool vegetables complement the hot rice & Curry chicken wonderfully. Good portion sizes. The Fried Wontons are also recommended.

The server was attentive & polite. A great experience.

The decor & colour scheme is bright without assaulting the eyes & sets it apart from many other locations.

I am a resident of Pointe St-Charles for some time now & while I love to encourage local establishments, when I can, I don't always think of writing a review. That is, till now.

Today, I had the pleasure of dining with out of town guests at Le Petit Sao. I never had grilled chicken in a soup until today & I loved it. The whole soup from broth/meat to noodles was delicious. The soup & presentation of my friends' orders enticed me to try their Imperial rolls, which of course were also delicious.

But what equally impressed me is the highly professional, courteous service from the staff & incidentally Troy who made it a great experience. I will be returning for other items on the menu & for the monetary & savory value of the meal.

Excellent restaurant & service, you certainly won't regret it.
