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.

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.

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.

When I first tried this place two years ago I thought the food was average.

Since then I have returned a few times & every time I go I have been more & more impressed.

I have had the chicken pho & I love the quality & freshness of the chicken.

The banh mi, especially the pork is super flavorful with fresh crispy bread & tender pork. The only thing I can possibly say is I wish it was a tad spicier but I will ask for that next time.

I will be back the next time I am in the area.

Just OK. Broth is not particularly tasty. Asked for poached chicken with my Pho, got grilled chicken, instead. Fresh spring rolls were so-so; accompanying peanut sauce didn't have much peanut flavor.

Excellente cuisine . Pho savoureux, rouleaux impériaux croustillants, service chaleureux & ambiance agréable. Une très bonne adresse, à refaire sans hésiter !

Rly good price for the pho special. We got a big bowl of chicken pho & fried dumplings for 20$. The ambiance of the restaurant was cute & homey, lots of handwritten & homemade posters/decorations. The food tasted good although the soup was pretty salty (to be expected for pho & restaurant foods). There were also options of zucchini noodles instead of rice noodles.

I think the vibe of this place plays way too in to the "squiggly candle" aesthetic, to the point where the chopsticks are pastel. Am I the key demo? Probably not. The food was mediocre at best. I personally didn't really like the my Bun bowl, the pork meatball patties were strange & had a weird pickled green onion(?) I think on them. Not really a fan. The papaya salad was good, the dressing was nice & tasted fresh. The pho was decent.

This might be the worst tasting restaurant I have ever tried in Montreal. The chicken pho soup is way too salty, & it even tastes bitter. The summer drink "limo jade" tastes like rotten coconut. & they don't have AC inside. It's not authentic Vietnamese food.

Restaurant Review: Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal As a visitor with limited knowledge of French, I was delighted to find that Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal offers both French & English menus. This thoughtful touch made the dining experience more accessible & enjoyable, while I waited for my order. Dishes Ordered: Mama Thi Nems: These crispy Vietnamese spring rolls were a perfect start to the meal. They were filled with a flavorful mixture of ingredients, providing a delightful crunch with every bite. Chicken Bun Bowls: This dish was a delightful mix of grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, & vermicelli noodles, all brought together with a light & tangy sauce. The flavors were well-balanced, making each bite a refreshing experience. Grilled Chicken Pho Soup: Known for being tricky to execute as take-out, Le Petit Sao's Pho was a pleasant surprise. The broth was rich & aromatic, & the grilled chicken added a lovely depth of flavor. Packaging & Take-Out Experience: Le Petit Sao deserves high praise for their take-out service. The packaging was exceptionally well-thought-out & maintained the quality of the food. The Pho, in particular, was packaged to preserve the integrity of the broth, noodles, & fresh herbs, ensuring that it tasted as good as it would if served in the restaurant. Overall, Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal excels in providing delicious Vietnamese cuisine with a take-out service that truly stands out. For those who are not fluent in French, the availability of an English menu is a significant plus. This restaurant is a must-visit for both locals & tourists seeking a great Vietnamese dining experience.

On a mangé avec des amis pour découvrir le petit Sao, ça fait plaisir de manger des plats vietnamiens avec autant de goûts & de saveurs, surtout le pad pho, un melange entre le pad thaï & les saveurs du pho ! Je vous recommande également leur banh mi. Je vous conseille vraiment la place au Vieux Montréal. Les employées étaient à l'écoute & fort sympathiques :-) Le café glacé au panda est également un must à essayer. 🤩🤩🤩

I love this place, the consistency on the food is awesome. Never been disappointed with when ordering Banh Mi or the Pho. The only reason this place is not getting 5 stars is because the self service screen asks for tip. Too bad!

L'odeur des égouts nous prend directement en entrant, par le fait même je constate que ce n'est pas très propre, c'est même très sale. J'ai tout de même commander une soupe Pho aux légumes en me disant de ne pas me fier aux apparences mais malheureusement très décevant. Le bouillon de poulet manque de goût & les légumes n'étaient pas frais, morceaux de coriandre moisie & laitue brune. Je n'y retournerai pas
