I tried the pho this morning for breakfast & I'm already ordering it again for dinner. This is officially my new favourite Vietnamese restaurant :) Edit: Beef was way better than chicken
I'd say this is a must try restaurant when you are in Montreal. We went here on the first day we visited Montreal, it's kinda suprised me.
When we first saw the entrance, we were kind of hesitate as we confused if we went to the wrong place. However, after we enter the door, it's cozy & warm inside.
We ordered Saigon Crispy Wings in Savory Fish Sauce, Saigon Beef Meatball Noodle Soup, Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli. Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos as I couldn't wait to eat, I was starving...
Saigon Beef Meatball is tasty, can feel that's homemade meatballs. Charbroiled pork chop & charbroiled chicken for Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice were soft & juicy, but the rice was not enough for us. You might need to add rice if you have a good appetite. Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli was really good, the taste was something new to me.
I would recommend you to order Saigon Four Color Steamed Broken Rice & Hà N?i Charbroiled Pork Vermicelli if you visit them.
Called about 20 minutes ahead for a group of 4. When we arrived, the place was packed - full house - & yet we were seated immediately with no wait. That alone deserves a mention.
This was actually my fourth visit, & it continues to deliver. Ordering was quick, the menu is simple & straight to the point, & the real star here is the food.
There was a new item on the menu: Mì Bò Kho - braised beef with egg noodles. Even with the restaurant being slammed, the food quality was solid & consistent. Their condiment tray is really good & honestly sets them apart from other pho spots - it elevates everything on the table.
One hiccup: one dish for our group of four was forgotten. After a quick reminder, it came out, & they kindly added a complimentary chè thanh nhi?t, which was a nice gesture & appreciated.
Yes, service was on the slower side - but given how busy it was, it was completely understandable.
The bill? Under $30 per person, taxes & tip included. Hard to beat.
Will I come back? Yes.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.
My go-to recommendations:
Bún Bò Hu? (BBH)
Their tamarind spicy paste - don't skip it.
Solid spot, good value, & consistent food even under pressure.

The restaurant isn't big, & seating is limited, but its popularity is undeniable. During peak dining hours, it's packed with people.
The beef bone broth is incredibly flavorful, not oily or greasy at all, & gets better with every sip! The noodles are also wonderfully smooth & delicious.
The owners make their own condiments: pickled chili peppers, pickled garlic, Sichuan peppercorn chili oil, etc. As long as you can handle spicy & salty flavors, the owner won't stop you from adding as much as you like!
Taste of Vietnam in Montreal, especially if you are looking for legitimate Broken Rice, this place has it, other places serve you jasmine rice or regular rice, which isn't Vietnamese version of Com Tam.
Also, they serve different broths for each type of protein such as Beef Pho, Chicken Pho, or Vegetables Pho. Usually one broth for all in other places, so kudos to the dedication of serving the Pho broths distinctively here!
We came in a big group so there was a bit of wait time for the food due to large orders, so that's totally normal.
Their BBH also amazing, hit the spot! You have extra sate & fried chilies flakes on the side for added kick!
