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

Just want to say thank you to the staff! My kid had to use the washroom, the staff in the restaurant were kind enough to let my kid use it even though they have closed for the day! Will try the food next time when I'm in the area

Wow! Les banh mi au porc & végé étaient savoureux & frais, & le café pandan était délicieux & rafraîchissant.
Je recommande 100% ce restaurant. J'y retourne moi-même constamment.

When I first tried this place two years ago I thought the food was average.

Since then I have returned a few times & every time I go I have been more & more impressed.

I have had the chicken pho & I love the quality & freshness of the chicken.

The banh mi, especially the pork is super flavorful with fresh crispy bread & tender pork. The only thing I can possibly say is I wish it was a tad spicier but I will ask for that next time.

I will be back the next time I am in the area.
