Le Petit Sao draws praise for a cozy, welcoming vibe, generous portions and affordable prices, with menu highlights like pho, bun bowls and banh mi that readers find fresh, flavorful and satisfying. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere is often noted as charming and well suited for a casual meal or lunch with friends. The food quality is widely regarded as strong, with standout items such as chicken pho, grilled chicken banh mi, fresh spring rolls and a creamy pandan dessert, and gluten free options are appreciated by those who need them. On the other hand, some reviews point to service hiccups like missing drinks, notes not appearing on tickets, and occasional miscommunications about toppings. A few diners also mention temperature issues in the dining room when doors open and the air conditioning runs. Still, the overall impression is solid value, friendly service, and a reliable, enjoyable Vietnamese meal in a lively setting, with many reviewers indicating they would return.

Très bon Banh mi dans le Vieux-Port ! Je le recommande, aussi les soupes Pho, super bonnes & à bons prix! D'habitude il a l'option boeuf mais cette fois-ci elle n'était pas sur le menu? Super bonne bouffe, pas un super service malheureusement:(

This is a hidden gem in Montreal, espcially in the Old-Port. They are serving traditionnal vietnamese dishes, with a modern twist, & that is exactly why I'm going back for more! Only 7 min walk from Place-d'Armes metro station, the place is beautiful, nice decor & color. Love the staff! Super friendly & helpful. I took : Pandan Ca Phe Sua Da (vietnamese iced coffee with Pandan) Minty Limo (non alchoholic Mojito) Nems from Mama Thi (10/10!!) Grilled Chicken Pho Curry Coco chicken bowl (10/10!) I had a smile on my face for each bite. I can't wait to go back & try their Banh Mis & Bun bowls. P.S. If possible, go there during lunch time (including the weekends), you'll have a spot to seat & fast & quality service!

I changed my review to 4 stars,
I went back with another friend cause she really want to try this restaurant.
& surprisingly, this time, service, cocktails & food were very good.
Staffs are super friendly. Everything came at the right timing. I would come back with other friends next time.

(Three stars review): Heard about this place from a influencer on instagram. So I went to this restaurant with a friend. & the food was not bad. (But I got a bit of stomachache & diarrhea when I got home). & I didn't eat anything before going to this restaurant. So I'm not sure if it was the salad which wasn't very fresh, other condiments or the grilled chicken with the curry sauce...
The cocktails, I would say it wasn't very constant. The first sangria that I ordered was very tasty & then I ordered a second one (it tasted very strong alcohol in it). I don't know if they were using a measuring tool or not.
My friend got a banh mi sandwich. She said it was tasty.
Not sure if I would like to come back.
