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 🙏🙏
Food was good l but different from what I'm used to. The flavor in the pho was very light & almost tasted like a poultry based broth instead of beef but it was still good. The summer rolls/cold spring rolls are big in size but the shrimps were small so it was more vegetable than anything.
Huge poop veins in all but one of the shrimps was extremely unappetizing. I must have ordered at least 30 times now & never seen anything like this. 3 stars for the previous good experiences but I wish I could unsee this as it ruined an otherwise delicious dish for me. Please clean the shrimp better.
We came here after the place we initially wanted nearby was full. I was disappointed at first but when we taste the food I was so happy we came. I got the vegetarian gyoza & house curry with shrimp. I usually don't like shrimp but this was so delicious!!! They have so many vegetarian options which surprised me. They had a high hair for my son too which was great. & he loved the food too!
Asian fusion spot with a varied menu & deliciously-made food. They took a bit to bring out our order, but it was definitely worth the wait - particularly the stir-fried noodles with shrimp. Would definitely go back there.
Very friendly staff & very nice food presentation. I ordered the hot dish, salmons with veggies came with a bowl of rice. The sauce was a bit strong, I liked it with rice, but alone was a bit strong for me. As an appetizer we ordered the spring rolls, it tasted really good but it wasn't the spring rolls I knew, it wasn't fried. The roll was veggies with shrimps wrapped in rice wraps! Also the place was a bit cold, it seemed they were something wrong with the door!

The house curry with shrimp was very good. The portion was great & the price reasonable. I appreciated the 9 oz glass of wine. I will definitively return.
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.
This wonderful cozy restaurant just made our Saturday night!!
We had the shrimp tempura, fresh spring rolls, vegan Vietnamese clay pot & the grilled beef crispy egg noodles with a bottle of sake to share. All of it was amazing! Packed with flavours & textures to die for!! On top of that, the staff was very warm & welcoming which made our experience even better. If you’re looking for great food & service, then I highly recommend this place.
This was our first time here, but it will not be our last.

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
The decor is lovely. The service was prompt & courteous, & the food was fresh. However, there was something missing. The staff could have been more friendly & forthcoming in their recommendations of food, when asked. The food was also ok, nothing memorable. I had a shrimp spring roll that was quite bland (sauce was good), & a papaya salad that could have done with being tossed in the sauce a little earlier to let it penetrate properly.
