Two years ago I stayed in Old Mtl. Came here & end up changing other dinner plans just to come back. Everything tasted so good. The Bahn Mi & Pho Soup were SOO flavourful. Writing this review now because I was just thinking about how good it was hah.

Une adresse prisée dans le vieux Montréal pour sa cuisine vietnamienne moderne, fraîche & colorée. C'est un restaurant de type « fast casual » qui revisite les recettes familiales traditionnelles avec une touche contemporaine. Ils proposent une version réconfortante de la soupe tonkinoise, incluant un bouillon de poulet ou végétarien. Ce que j'ai pris.
Leurs limonades maison sont particulièrement réputées pour être rafraîchissantes. J'ai expérimenté celle à la menthe & noix de coco. Une belle expérience. Le service laissait un peu à désirer mais je n'en ai pas tenu compte. Un lieu dans la catégorie instagrammable. Le décor est chaleureux,'cozy' & très coloré (avec des touches de rose & de belles murales). L'atmosphère y est décontractée ce que les propriétaires appellent la « Bún Vibe ». C'est un lieu idéal pour un lunch rapide entre collègues. C'est une excellente option si vous cherchez une cuisine saine, savoureuse dans le secteur historique de la ville.

Le propriétaire & sa famille sont des personnes exceptionnelles qui ont à coeur l'expérience client. La soupe au bouillon de poulet est exceptionnelle & le Tofu est délicieux. Je suggère les croustilles de crevettes en attendant votre commande.

Merci pour votre écoute. ❤?

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.

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.
