Bof.... La soupe régulière est en fait une petite. Le bouillon est sans particularité, il n'y a que peu d'agrément dans le bol de soupe & aucunes herbes en accompagnement... il manque toute la base. Les rouleaux commerciaux sont 🤷🏼♂️ Je n'y retournerais pas.
Every time I try something new, I ask myself, "Does it taste good? Will I order next time? Will I come back here?" - Yes, I will order it, it is very tasty.🤤😍✅ DoorDash delivery was fast👍
Pros: Decent portion of food for the price. They served ice cold water. Cons: Grilled pork wasn't tender. Their Imperial Roll isn't homemade. Their General Viet chicken was soft; not crispy. I can taste bite-sized flower batter with no chicken. Overall: It's not a bad place. The food is okay. It's just that I've had much better elsewhere for the same price.

I've been there many times over the years. The food is usually delicious. They do a really yummy grilled pork rice plate! Or grilled pork & vermicelli :)
I was so impressed with my lunch today! Delicious Spicy Sour With Coconut Milk, Srimp & Vermicelli soup, fantastic Vietnamese hot coffee & Fried Ice Cream! I'm still in heaven 🙂
Never seen such bad Pho in Montreal till I came here. I ordered pho with raw beef & tendon. Did not see any tendons, & the beef was already cooked, thick & tough, & had no flavour. The soup tasted like it had sweetner in it. The imperial rolls were the thinnest I have seen, & saw carrots & some beige stuffing only instead of the regular ingredients. It reminded me of the frozen ones you get at Asian grocery stores. The waitresses were no where to be seen. The payment terminal calculates tip after taxes. I will not come back. It's too bad as I was hoping to find a good Vietnamese restaurant in this area as there are none.

Un peu long avant que les employées viennent nous voir pour prendre notre commande & bruit de ce que nous pensons être un malaxeur, plutôt dérangeant bien que ce ne fut pas super long. Nourriture très bonne, employés souriants & agréables. Dans l'ensemble ce fut un très bon repas & une très bonne soirée.
