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.
Restaurant Vietnamien bien caché dans le vieux Montréal. L'endroit est petit mais sympathique. Le personnel est très gentil, l'on parle français. Les plats sont gouteux & généreux. Une entrée & une petite soupe nous ont rempli amplement, nous avons du rapporté notre plat principal.

Rly good price for the pho special. We got a big bowl of chicken pho & fried dumplings for 20$. The ambiance of the restaurant was cute & homey, lots of handwritten & homemade posters/decorations. The food tasted good although the soup was pretty salty (to be expected for pho & restaurant foods). There were also options of zucchini noodles instead of rice noodles.

J'ai commandé un café vietnamien avec moins de glace & ils l'ont top up avec de l'eau. Dès lors, c'était rendu du café à l'eau. Par chance, ils me l'ont refait mais avec une certaine attitude.
Definitely the decor is by a genZ. A short menu but this means the food is fresh. However, nothing Vietnamese came out of that restaurant. This is a viet restaurant with Westerners adjustments. P.s. small bowl is literally a small baby bowl of noodles.
Vraiment une belle découverte, une jolie place offrant plusieurs options végétariennes & des option sans gluten. Nous avons pris simplement une collation & une boisson mais clairement je compte y retourner pour manger leur plat qui on l'air 😋.
I think the vibe of this place plays way too in to the "squiggly candle" aesthetic, to the point where the chopsticks are pastel. Am I the key demo? Probably not. The food was mediocre at best. I personally didn't really like the my Bun bowl, the pork meatball patties were strange & had a weird pickled green onion(?) I think on them. Not really a fan. The papaya salad was good, the dressing was nice & tasted fresh. The pho was decent.
This might be the worst tasting restaurant I have ever tried in Montreal. The chicken pho soup is way too salty, & it even tastes bitter. The summer drink "limo jade" tastes like rotten coconut. & they don't have AC inside. It's not authentic Vietnamese food.
Très très bon !!! Combinant originalité & efficacité ce restaurant est incroyable . Nous avons été servis très rapidement & avons pus gouter de bon met . Je conseille le Bo Bun des iles , qui avec sa sauce mangue pimentée rend le plat incroyable 🤩.
Très très bon. Trouvé au hasard. Je ne regrette pas. Les plats sont tops 😎😎😎 la grande salade excellente. Le service rapide & l'ambiance sympa avec de la musique zen pas forte. Recommandé à 200%
