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.
It was a little tricky getting service & finding a spot to sit, but the food made me forget all of that. Definitely recommend for a quick, causal lunch.

Restaurant Review: Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal As a visitor with limited knowledge of French, I was delighted to find that Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal offers both French & English menus. This thoughtful touch made the dining experience more accessible & enjoyable, while I waited for my order. Dishes Ordered: Mama Thi Nems: These crispy Vietnamese spring rolls were a perfect start to the meal. They were filled with a flavorful mixture of ingredients, providing a delightful crunch with every bite. Chicken Bun Bowls: This dish was a delightful mix of grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, & vermicelli noodles, all brought together with a light & tangy sauce. The flavors were well-balanced, making each bite a refreshing experience. Grilled Chicken Pho Soup: Known for being tricky to execute as take-out, Le Petit Sao's Pho was a pleasant surprise. The broth was rich & aromatic, & the grilled chicken added a lovely depth of flavor. Packaging & Take-Out Experience: Le Petit Sao deserves high praise for their take-out service. The packaging was exceptionally well-thought-out & maintained the quality of the food. The Pho, in particular, was packaged to preserve the integrity of the broth, noodles, & fresh herbs, ensuring that it tasted as good as it would if served in the restaurant. Overall, Le Petit Sao in Old Montreal excels in providing delicious Vietnamese cuisine with a take-out service that truly stands out. For those who are not fluent in French, the availability of an English menu is a significant plus. This restaurant is a must-visit for both locals & tourists seeking a great Vietnamese dining experience.

Que ce soit pour la pause lunch ou juste de visite du coin, cette nouvelle petite chaîne Vietnamienne ne déçoit pas ! On y retrouve tous les mets que l'on connaît réalisés avec splendeur. J'ai pris le panier pique-nique avec le Banh-mi poulet accompagné de chips aux crevettes & d'une petite salade, un délice. N'hésitez pas !
Établissement très joli. J'ai l'habitude d'aller très souvent à la succursale de Pointe-St-Charles. J'avais l'impression de déranger. Le Banh Mi qu'on m'a servi avait plus l'air d'une salade dans une tranche de baguette que le sandwich auquel je suis habituée. Il y avait trois petites rondelles de porc en tout. Très sec & déçevant. Plus jamais ici.
we had a great time eating here! really delicious, fresh food & friendly staff. we went here on a whim & were extremely happy with the food we got! if we're ever back in montréal we will definitely come back!
Excellent tout en étant très santé & exotique!! Personnel sympathique & ambiance relax! Il y a du thé de pandan, chose que je n'avais retrouvé qu'en Asie du Sud Est auparavant. J'y retournerai sans aucun doute lorsque je serai dans le coin!

On a mangé avec des amis pour découvrir le petit Sao, ça fait plaisir de manger des plats vietnamiens avec autant de goûts & de saveurs, surtout le pad pho, un melange entre le pad thaï & les saveurs du pho ! Je vous recommande également leur banh mi. Je vous conseille vraiment la place au Vieux Montréal. Les employées étaient à l'écoute & fort sympathiques :-) Le café glacé au panda est également un must à essayer. 🤩🤩🤩
Si vous êtes de passage dans le Vieux Montréal c'est la halte parfaite pour un petit lunch rapide ou un drink en terrasse , nous y avons mangé ce midi service impeccable & les plats super savoureux : banh mi cha & bol curry coco . On recommande à 100%
Super découverte dans le vieux Montréal. J'ai adoré les saveurs, le serveur était sympathique & les prix sont abordables. J'ai testé le nouveau thé Yuzu pandan, sur la terrasse, un must!
