Was looking for a nice but casual stop to fuel up after a long ride by the river. This place is nestled in the back out of the sight of the main strip mall area. I had the island bowl & the ice tea daiquiri with its pandan flavour. All were delicious. Servings were huge.

Im a self proclaimed pho expert, & this ain't it. No beef, no hot peppers, no basil. Broth was marginal at best. Self serve too. Tiniest small size ive ever seen -i have had tea in larger cups.

I ordered a bowl of vermicelli with grilled pork, & honestly, it was absolutely terrible. I'm Vietnamese, & I couldn't even recognize it as Vietnamese food.

The pork was cut into very large chunks & was marinated far too salty. The rice vermicelli wasn't cooked long enough, so it was still too firm. The fish sauce was extremely sour & tasted like it had way too much lime juice.

The photo on the menu clearly showed that the vermicelli bowl came with spring rolls, but when my grilled pork vermicelli was served, there weren't any spring rolls at all.

Overall, I've traveled all over the world, & as a Vietnamese person, I finished the meal without feeling like I had eaten Vietnamese food. I've honestly never been to any restaurant that cooked Vietnamese food as badly as this one. It was by far the worst Vietnamese meal I've ever had.

I told the server that it was my friend's birthday today, but she didn't even respond. She simply ignored what I said, had a blank, indifferent expression on her face, & didn't seem warm or welcoming at all. Her attitude made us feel completely unappreciated as customers.

Overall, this restaurant made me feel embarrassed for Vietnamese cuisine. As a Vietnamese person, I was genuinely disappointed. The food was nothing like authentic Vietnamese food, & the service was just as disappointing. It was a very unpleasant dining experience from beginning to end.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un véritable coup de coeur pour Le Petit Sao ! L'ambiance y est incroyablement chaleureuse & accueillante, avec un décor soigné & de jolies lanternes suspendues qui créent une atmosphère parfaite pour relaxer. Le service a été impeccable, rapide & attentionné, à l'image de la qualité exceptionnelle de la nourriture & des rafraîchissements. Tout ce que nous avons commandé était savoureux & parfaitement exécuté, des rouleaux de printemps ultra frais & des nems bien croustillants, jusqu'à la soupe de nouilles épicée au bouillon profondément aromatique & les bols de poulet grillé particulièrement tendres, parfumés & généreux. Une expérience 5 étoiles sans faille du début à la fin, nous y retournerons sans hésiter !
