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.
J'avais toujours apprécié la qualité des soupes de ce resto! Ce soir, j'ai reçu une soupe & un bol avec des poulets grillés complètement brûlés! En principe, on aurait dû jamais envoyer ou mettre devant un client! C'est vraiment décevant!
L'odeur des égouts nous prend directement en entrant, par le fait même je constate que ce n'est pas très propre, c'est même très sale. J'ai tout de même commander une soupe Pho aux légumes en me disant de ne pas me fier aux apparences mais malheureusement très décevant. Le bouillon de poulet manque de goût & les légumes n'étaient pas frais, morceaux de coriandre moisie & laitue brune. Je n'y retournerai pas
Très bon Banh mi dans le Vieux-Port ! Je le recommande, aussi les soupes Pho, super bonnes & à bons prix! D'habitude il a l'option boeuf mais cette fois-ci elle n'était pas sur le menu? Super bonne bouffe, pas un super service malheureusement:(
Première fois au restaurant "le petit sao" & certainement pas la dernière. L'ambiance est trés chill, le service rapide & le personnel ultra sympathique. J'ai eu l'occasion de gouter aux Nems & au bol de l'île qui étaient tous deux excellents. De plus c'est trés agréable d'avoir plusieurs options végé !

Amazing. Service was great, super cute atmosphere. Chicken was the best chicken I have ever tasted. Everything was so flavourful, hot, & arrived quickly. Pho broth was also amazing. We ordered the pho & the vermicelli salad & they were equally fantastic
I'm vegan, my friend is gluten free with many intolerances & our waitress was really sweet about it & made sure everything was ok for us ! She was able to suggest 2 personalized bowls with vegan sauce & she made sure all ingredients were ok according to our diets. Really good experience & the food was tasty:) I'd really like to taste the pho but they use chicken broth tho🥲 so not possible. I'd suggest using veggie broth so the veggie one would actually be vegan:) thanks !
Extraordinaire. J'ai eu l'impression de me retrouver à nouveau dans un resto de HCM ville . M'a donné envie de retourner visiter le Viêt Nam. La cuisine était top (Bol Bûn miam! Le Pho génial) & les serveuses étaient super gentilles.
This is a hidden gem in Montreal, espcially in the Old-Port. They are serving traditionnal vietnamese dishes, with a modern twist, & that is exactly why I'm going back for more! Only 7 min walk from Place-d'Armes metro station, the place is beautiful, nice decor & color. Love the staff! Super friendly & helpful. I took : Pandan Ca Phe Sua Da (vietnamese iced coffee with Pandan) Minty Limo (non alchoholic Mojito) Nems from Mama Thi (10/10!!) Grilled Chicken Pho Curry Coco chicken bowl (10/10!) I had a smile on my face for each bite. I can't wait to go back & try their Banh Mis & Bun bowls. P.S. If possible, go there during lunch time (including the weekends), you'll have a spot to seat & fast & quality service!
Trendy place, service was very fast, but just average, one waitress was very friendly & the other didn't seem to care much. Food is good, although I wouldn't say it's very authentic. But the price are steep for the sizes of the portions. Even by adding an appetizer, the small portion of the pho would leave any normal adult hungry & the large size there would be a medium at best at any other pho restaurant. You are 100% paying for the location. The papaya salad is great tho.
