Review Summary

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.

👉 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)

Le banh mi au poulet était sec & pas goûteux. Très normal.

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.

Surprise this place isn't better rated! We really enjoyed our banh mi & gluten-free noodle dish. They have several gluten-free options for those in the market. Good flavors, good portions, good & friendly service.

Asked for as little mayo as possible on my bahn mi. Half the sandwich was what I wanted & the other half was drenched in mayo

Nothing Vietnamese about the food. Very bland. Tasteless. Service was rather slow. The iced coffee tasted like milk mixed with sugar.

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.

Food was great, service was poor. Recommend the tofu & pork banh mi, liked the mango & jade lemonade. Typical'wait to be seated' but waited 5 minutes till anyone noticed & had to go to the counter to get noticed. Server didn't write down our order which is fine if you remember it but they forgot part of it & did nothing to correct it. Was visiting Montreal, so hesitate to come back for another visit in the future
