Review Summary

Le Petit Sao is widely regarded as a charming, cozy, and vibrant destination in Old Montreal, popular for its fresh and modern take on traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Many diners praise the flavorful pho, satisfying banh mi, and refreshing house-made lemonades, frequently highlighting the generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing that make it a standout choice for a quick, healthy lunch. While the atmosphere is consistently described as welcoming and the staff as exceptionally friendly and helpful, some guests have noted occasional inconsistencies with order accuracy, dietary labeling, or temperature control within the dining area. Despite these minor points of feedback, the restaurant maintains a strong reputation for its vibrant aesthetic and overall quality, with many patrons becoming regulars who value the blend of authentic flavors and a relaxed, contemporary environment.

Dans l'ensemble le repas est correct sans plus. Le Banh Mi manquait de douceur je pense que la garniture est « déséquilibrée » dans la composition.
Certaines crudités n'ont pas été très apprécié dû à leur goût. C'est dommage nous ne reviendrons pas.

Bon endroit pour des classiques vietnamiens. Rien d'exceptionnel, mais c'était bon.

Première fois que nous y allons & franchement nous y retournerons à 100% !
C'était délicieux, le service était excellent & rapide.
Ça revient à environ 20$ par personne, ce qui est abordable.
Je vous conseille d'arriver pour 12h si vous voulez y dîner.
Bref, nous avons ADORÉ !

J'ai pris un menu pour emporter. Il y avait longtemps que je n'avais pas fait des petits sons de contentement en mangeant! Eh bien oui, ce banh mi & la salade de papaye vertes étaient tout simplement délicieux! À refaire
