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.

Charmant, plats savoureux, service attentionné. Par contre, le format du restaurant mélangé à l'achalandage du resto rend moins propice à la détente.

J'ai pris le banh mi au poulet grillé, vraiment très bon !! J'aurai préféré plus de pickles & une option pimenté 😉.
Mais pour le prix, 14.89 taxes inclus, ça vaut vraiment le coup.
N'hésitez pas !!
