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 got a bowl of chicken vermicelli & it was the most bizarre chicken I've ever had. I'm not sure if it was badly butchered & chewy yet super tough for that reason, or if the meat itself was on its way to expiring but it was not the most pleasant experience. It also was criminally underseasoned lol

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.
If your looking for a truly authentic food experience, look no further. The food was delicious & very authentic. It's not your typical pho flavours you are use too. It is very good, do not get me wrong, just not your typical pho taste. This is a million times better than. Highly recommend the chicken wings & Shrimp rolls.
This place was a pleasant surprise.
The grilled chicken really stood out - the flavor was quite unique & the doneness was just right. It came with a salad & some lightly pickled carrots, which paired beautifully with the chicken & added a nice, refreshing contrast.
I'd highly recommend the grilled chicken rice - very well balanced & satisfying.
We also tried the noodle, which was more on the classic side. It was good & solid.
Exceptional customer service. The atmosphere is nice!
The food is amazing! I ordered the bun cha & it was fantastic! I reminded me of the one that i had in viet nam. The meat is moist & tender but still has the charred flavour from the grill. Their spring roll is crispy from the outside & soft on the inside. Also had a both of chicken broth. Best broth ever.
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!
Love this place! The Special Pho is huge & delicious. Very good broth. The pork chop is also great too. Nice flavor & very nice texturally, with a good sear & meat/fat ratio. We also loved their crispy chicken wings & shrimp spring rolls! The crispy chicken wings had an awesome breading (similar to Korean fried chicken) & the toasted peanuts gave it an extra crunch. The service here was also amazing. The woman serving the floor & tending to the back was a superstar. She was extremely helpful in explaining all the different dishes & helping us choose the right ones for us. This restaurant is worth your time! I would definitely come here again the next time I am in Montréal.
Edit: I had came back two days later & had the Bún bò Hu?. I highly recommend! It's the same consistency as the Special Pho broth but it has a much richer, deeper, meatier flavor. This would be good for you if you like to put a lot of condiments/flavors in your pho, as it is slightly spicier. I also had the Chè Thanh Nhi?t dessert & it was soooo good! I love the textures of the jellies & mung beans. It was a lovely end to my meal. I then got shrimp spring rolls to go just in case I had a midnight craving. I know they were good from last time.
