My three kids & two parents ate here after AURA at the Basilica Notre Dame. The space is super cozy & clean & the food was excellent. We tried the Pho, Pad Pho, & Bun. We were very happy with the choice. The prices are much better than the bar-food options nearby & the food is better! The server also was very tolerant & helpful when we had an allergy question.

Bonne bouffe, super choix de repas. De grosse assiette. Seule bémol: j'ai eu très froid toute le temps du repas avec la porte d'entrée qui ouvrait & fermait & l'air climatisé était aussi allumé

DANGER. BEWARE. This is the THIRD time I find a foreign material in my food. The first time was a metal washer. I advised for SAFETY concerns they didn't seem to care & offered me a refund which I didn't accept, ridiculous I found metal in my soup! I thought they ask to see it, they explained where they thought it came from & that's about it.
Stopped going for a while then started again, not many options around there.
A few more times I would find chicken bits in a vegetable meal!
BUT Again in two meals we found some kind of wood/ceramic pieces that are NOT food. & of course the wood was at the bottom of the soup so ate two full meals with wood/ceramic at bottom! Pretty sharp edges. THAT'S THE LAST TIME. DISGUSTED.
& guess what else, someone in the kitchen must be sick because after two meals yesterday I'm sick like a dog.
This place is not safe & I have no idea if this only happens to me or if others choose not to advise. At this point it's a SERIOUS safety concern.

Vraiment mon restaurant préféré à Montréal. Les nems + bol de l'île des soeurs = meilleur combo 😍
Vraiment c'est un régal, les portions sont généreuses. Une chance je n'habite pas le quartier sinon je mangerai là chaque jour 😅

A lovely lunch spot with super friendly & helpful staff. They helped me choose - without pushing the bigger sizes. I had a small grilled chicken pho, a grill tofu fresh roll, & a small bottle of beer. CA$35 (with tip included)
Yet - the star of my lunch was their house made SATE! An unforgettable condiment!

🥢🇻🇳 Le Petit Sao - un vent de fraîcheur vietnamienne à Montréal
Entre authenticité & ambiance conviviale, Le Petit Sao est une adresse où l'on vient bien manger, partager & sourire, fidèle à leur philosophie familiale 💚
👉 Ce qu'on a goûté :?Mini soupe pho au poulet: légère, savoureuse & bien équilibrée, parfaite en entrée?Bol bún au tofu: portions généreuses, un plat complet & gourmand (même si j'aurais aimé un peu plus de légumes 🥒 par rapport au vermicelle)
✅ Points forts :?• Service rapide, attentionné & chaleureux?• Prix abordable (~25$ par personne entree+plat) 💰?• Parfait pour un lunch ou un dîner sans prise de tête
⚠? Petit conseil : arrivez dès midi, le restaurant se remplit vite
💬 Verdict : un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour un vietnamien moderne, resto rapide.

Was a decent Pho experience, most of the menu is chicken or tofu. I had grilled chicken pho & spring rolls, the chicken was grilled well. The pho broth was fine, the drink menu is good not anything special.
