Small space, but the bahn mi is terrific & me & my friends got the bahn mi jambon deal two days in a row. The pho was also great & would recommend for anyone looking for affordable & authentic Vietnamese food

Food is so good. Bun bo hue is so tasty. Very authentic. Banh mi is also good. Price is very affordable. If you have cash it's better but they do accept credit cards except for Amex. Owners are also very kind.

You know the food is about to be good when it's a small place. Amazing food, very kind staff & quick service. A nice selection of authentic homemade meals. Very good prices too, especially for the portion & quality of the food. Overall, a hidden gem 10/10 would recommend.

As a real pho connaisseur (I was born & raised in Vietnam) I must try the crystal special pho. So worth it! The broth is really delicious, lots of high quality various beef meat & the star of the pho was the beef rib, which is very rare to find anywhere in a pho restaurant in Montreal. Their cha giò too is authentic (made with rice leaf) & tasty.
I bought 2 Banh Mi to go & they too were fabulous! For sure I will come back the next time I visit Montreal!

Pho was really good & very reasonable price! I really liked that they gave real chilli pieces to add to the broth as it's more authentic & the spicy hits much better than siracha
