Reviews highlight Lime Griffintown as a vibrant, generous fusion spot for Vietnamese and Thai flavors, with pho and tom yum among the favorites and a growing menu that includes vegan options and poke bowls. The food is praised for depth of flavor, freshness, and large portions, with many dishes such as the Vietnamese claypot salmon and various curries getting especially strong notes for balance and aroma. The atmosphere is described as bright, casual, and modern, while the service is consistently friendly, attentive and efficient. Takeout and delivery are reliable, offering generous portions and good value, though a few diners note prices can run higher than some alternatives. A couple of critiques mention the General Tao being too sweet or some dishes not being as tender as hoped, but these are outweighed by broad satisfaction with the overall quality. Overall Lime Griffintown is seen as a neighborhood gem worth returning to for reliable, flavorful Southeast Asian fusion and a menu that pleases both meat lovers and vegetarians.
A great tiny restaurant in Griffintown that really offers a fusion of Asian food. The restaurant is well lit with beautiful intricate food plates all over the wall :) The staff is super kind, attentive, & hard working & truly care about their customers. I had the Vietnamese Claypot salmon & it just melted in my mouth & was beyond delicious. Thai chicken Curry was just as tasty with the perfect blend of spices. We also ordered General Chicken Tao as an extra & it was crispy & awesome. A 10/10 & I know next time I will be ordering the papaya salad, Mango salad along with shrimp egg noodles. Highly recommend this 11/10 restaurant to everyone ❤?❤? UPDATE: Went back & had Vietnamese Coffee, Shrimp Tempura, Beef Vietnamese Grill, & General Tao & as always fantastic food & service 😇😇 Full compliments to the chef for such a gourmet's delight 🙏🙏
I have tried their general tao twice. While the sauce was good, it was excessively sweet even for me who likes sweet things. Also, the chicken nuggets contain more dough than chicken, which is a big disappointment, I'd like to feel like I'm getting some nourishment here, not just sugar dough. I really like that the chicken is crispy & that they mix in a good amount of veggies though. If they just reduced the sugar & put more chicken in the dough it could be 5 stars.
This restaurant is falsely advertising fraudulent Buy One, Get One (BOGO) deals on Uber Eats. On the restaurant's listing, a General Tao chicken is listed at $21.95 CAD, & the BOGO for the same item is listed at $38.25 CAD. In reality, by taking this'deal' (which literally has BOGO in its name, as photo & video evidence taken by me will show), you are buying two individual General Tao chicken dishes for about 13% less of what buying two at $21.95 CAD would cost you. This is not Buy One, Get One free, rather the restaurant attempting to take advantage of promotional offers around holidays, during a recession, to make more money. In reality, you are saving a whopping 5.65 CAD!
If the restaurant owner wanted to save you money & increase sales, they could use Uber Eats' discount function to make individual items cheaper. Instead, they are eroding the mutually beneficial nature of a real BOGO: customer gets a good deal, restaurant avoids throwing out food.
Dishonesty does not stop at the kitchen door; avoid this restaurant.
Even though the prices are a bit more expensive than the alternative options that serve the same type of food, the price is still reasonable & the portions are good. The food itself was flavourful & tasty. Some parts of the grilled chicken weren't as tender as I would have hoped for it to be but the overall was still great.
Eating at the restaurant had was such a different experience. The waitress was really friendly & polite which made the dining experience even better. The food itself was flavorful & plentiful. The portions were so big for around 19$ a meal. I was a bit deceived by the pictures since the food wasn't as pretty but it was still tasty.
Great place for their house curry chicken dish. I got that several times for takeout & it was certainly the star. I bit spicy, a bit rich, & quite filling. The coconut chicken soup isn't tangy like a tom kha, but it's good on a cold day - even better when you add the rice to it. The grilled chicken plate was alright, but I wish I had asked for some extra sauce. Overall yhey have great food here.
I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the food. Portion size was very large. Staff was friendly. We didn't have a reservation but that wasn't a problem for them. I recommend the general Tao chicken.

We have ordered through Uber Eats numerous times & it is always so delicious! Portion sizes are generous. We love the grilled chicken Pho & the mango salad
The food is delicious, no denying that. However, they screwed up two of my Uber orders. & consecutively. The first time they screwed up, they forgot an item in my order. Following this error, I decided to take a break from ordering from them. I finally decided to order from them again a month later... this time, I received an order that had nothing to do with my original order. I ask for rice & get noodles. I ask for chicken, I get beef... If some items are out of stock, please contact the customer. Not everyone likes surprises

Tasty & fresh food! We ordered house grilled pork with rice & grilled chicken crispy noodle for takeout, the pork was very tasty & delicious. The price range was reasonable!
First time at Lime & definitely won't be our last! Delicious Asian cuisine (fusion of Vietnamese, Korean & Chinese). The chicken curry was flavorful & delicious. The vermicelli bowl was a bit plain but still good. Can't go wrong with Saki ;) Service was quick & friendly. The staff are really nice & want to make sure you're taken care of. Parking is a bit tough so go early & definitely make a reservation! It can get pretty busy. The indoor decor is a bit outdated but the light music was nice. Definitely give Lime a try!
I had house special curry shrimp & Tao chicken both were good I highlight the freshness of the ingredients. The service was very good as well, they were very attentive. I liked the ambiance of the place.

Just ordered on Uber Eats. Hands down the best Uber Eats meal I’ve ever ordered. (Especially since it was my first time trying it out) Can’t wait to eat at the actual restaurant! Grilled chicken plate & coconut soup with shrimp both awesome
