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.

Yum!

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 !!

I really like hole in the walls restaurant & this one was just that. We got there between 4:30 & 5:00 pm & it was almost empty, so there were no lines. The staff spoke both English & French. The waitress was really helpful with recommandations. We loved everything. It was all delicious!! I really recommend the Mama thi nems. Crunchy outside & the filling just delicious.

We arrived here quite early on a Tuesday evening & there was no other customers leaving us a bit hesitant at first, however we were pleasantly surprised!

We ordered the chicken bun bowl & the banh Tom poutine. The chicken bun bowl was slightly light for our preference but still delicious. The poutine was so good! Perfect amount of vinegary & savoury the perfect viet/Montreal blend, they used yam fries which help keep it light & everything blended so well together :)

The portions were also quite generous, my husband barely managed to finish the chicken bun bowl, & I got very full 1/2 way through the poutine.

Nice hole in the wall spot in old Montreal!
