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.
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!

We were getting a tickle in our throats & craved some hot soup. We picked the grilled chicken pho noodle. I chose the large size & asked if they had some spicy peppers for it. At first she said no but another girl said yes. A couple of small, red, very hot & spicy peppers came on the side with my soup. It was great & really helped my throat. We like it. My wife said she wished it came with a little more broth. Other than that, perfect. After they served us, it became very busy, obviously a popular place for lunch.
Delicious food & great service! Que demander de plus? This is one of my favs for lunch around the office as part of my regular rotation, go check it out for yourself.
Super place pour lunch ou souper, staff très accueillant, la nourriture était délicieuse & les produits très frais! Nous avons mangé des grosses portions pour 25$-30$ chaque, super abordable!
It was a little tricky getting service & finding a spot to sit, but the food made me forget all of that. Definitely recommend for a quick, causal lunch.
Que ce soit pour la pause lunch ou juste de visite du coin, cette nouvelle petite chaîne Vietnamienne ne déçoit pas ! On y retrouve tous les mets que l'on connaît réalisés avec splendeur. J'ai pris le panier pique-nique avec le Banh-mi poulet accompagné de chips aux crevettes & d'une petite salade, un délice. N'hésitez pas !
Si vous êtes de passage dans le Vieux Montréal c'est la halte parfaite pour un petit lunch rapide ou un drink en terrasse , nous y avons mangé ce midi service impeccable & les plats super savoureux : banh mi cha & bol curry coco . On recommande à 100%

My wife & I were prowling the streets for lunch during a weekday & what pulled my wife towards this place was the neon pink sign that said "Bún Vibes". The place is cozy & very vibrant. You have to order at the counter & then sit. My wife & I ordered the chicken vermicelli bowl & the shredded pork poutine with lemonade & the pandan Jade lemonade. The chicken vermicelli was refreshing. Chicken was savory & everything from the vermicelli, fresh greens, & the fixings complemented each other. The winner was the poutine! It was so good. I'm Chinese Viet & I was honestly impressed by how well this dish was constructed. Right amount of vinegary taste. I don't know how to describe this dish, other than that it was deliciously delightful. A must try. The drinks were a nice palette cleanser & nice end to our meal.
Bright, cheery, very busy spot for a quick lunch. Staff were lovely. (You order at counter & they deliver to table.) Food was good. Not the tastiest Vietnamese I've had, but pretty good & certainly quick. The iced coffee is nice & strong - really hit the spot.
Tried Le Petit Sao for lunch The interior is super cute! Very colorful We tried many items & everything was delicious. The perfect lunch. I Im so in love with their bowls. The chicken is very tasty. They use high quality & fresh ingredients. Very Friendly staff ! Fair prices! I can't wait to go back!!! I highly recommend this place. Follow @ayahayek_ for more on instagram
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!
