I ordered the Les Poke Ozen & I would highly recommend. Good quantity of meat, the egg & crispy onions paired well with the white sauce. Overall a pretty good dish. Service was good & I received my order within 10-15 minutes. I would definitely come back.
Don't understand how this place can have a 4.8 rating.
Place has the vibes of a fast food, I guess since meals are cheap/decently priced that aligns.
Service was fast & staff was nice.
Now for the food, we had:
Tom Yum soup, broth was off. This isn't a real tom yum. Felt watery.
Won ton soup, the broth was good, like mentioned in other reviews the won tons were fried which is very odd.
Udon noodles, the peanut sauce was a risky choice & it's usually hit or miss & sadly this time it was a miss, it tasted somewhat bitter. The chicken that came with it was good. Poke bowl, it was decent, probably the best thing we ordered.
We also ordered the viet coffee, it was good!
All meals looked aesthetically pleasing.
Overall not terrible & fine if you want some cheap food. Though if you usually eat thai or vietnamese you most likely won't like this place. Maybe the other dishes are better.

Very delicious halal food. I love the beef pho, the crispy chicken with sweet & sour sauce, my friend got the poke. All were so amazing I got the sushi to go. Really amazing experience no waiting time food came less than 8 minutes
Visiting some family in town & had come across this restaurant. Did not disappoint! Service was great & server was friendly. Sushi was 10/10 & so was the food! Try R6 & R7 for sushi & their best seller is Les POKEs Ozen, le beouf
The one on the street de montagne is advertised with outside seatings on online but when we came it clearly wasn't, so I asked the cashier If there is a terrace cuz some places have it inside. The girl tells me no & starts telling me about how the restaurants close by have it. Then we started ordering & she asked of it's to go, I said no for here & she made a face. Clearly she did not want to work. Her mood was not understandable since there was only 2 clients that already got their food. Then I asked for a chicken poke bowl, I pointed at the chicken (the one below was beef). Then when my food comes I see it's beef & I also got charged for beef. I didn't just point but I also said chicken. When I went back to the girl, she wasn't disrespectful yet her face showed her annoyance. However she made the change & came back with chicken. I don't know how long it takes to make the chicken since it's thinly slice but the food came back fast so suspect they didn't redo it & just replaced the beef with chicken. I personally didn't care but for those who have allergies, cross contamination MIGHT happen. Then I went to the girls bathroom & the floor is so sticky & while at it, there was a woman sleeping on the chair near the bathroom. Lastly, the service is more fast food since you have to order at cash. There are cups near the cash but we were not offered water or just other restaurant things. They only bring the food to you when you're seated. The food is good but I will not come back due to the bad service because it ruined the vibe.
I love this restaurant. Took my friends there many times & they all enjoyed it. Their bowls are amazing & poke (especially beef poke) is delicious! They have a wide range of spring rolls which are also very yummy. Plus they have authentic Vietnamese coffee for coffee lovers. Overall, great experience for a very reasonable price. Will definitely keep coming back!
I've been to Ozen twice, so now it's time to review! I ordered the bird's nest, a poke bowl & spring rolls (all vegetarian version).
Service: great, responsive & informative staff. They recognized the dietary preference & followed up with all items on the menu that can be substitute to be made vegetarian which was greatly appreciated! Both time i did take out but was greated with kindness, patience & zeal - great way to start as a new spot in the area
Food: i normally have spring rolls (fried) with a sweet plum sauce or they are served with the fish sauce. I appreciate that they made a vegetarian soy sauce dip - but it's a seasoned soy sauce that is absolutely delicious & created a craving from the first time i ordered to bring me back.
The poke bowl was really good, but loved the added pickled daikon & carrots that balances with the creamy dressing sauce. excellent portions (next time, if they have it, I would add avocado)
Birds nest is very well seasoned & delicious, the only thing i'd point out would a bit more sauce to the stir fry to better submerged the noodles once pour on top
The space looks festively decorated, have sat an eat just yet, maybe in better weather as you walk the neighbourhood that'll be the time!
Wishing you success & stay consistent because you are on the right path!
I recently dined at Ozen Restaurant in Montreal & was thoroughly impressed. The Vietnamese fusion cuisine was both innovative & flavorful, with dishes like the Ozen beef poke bowl, crispy noodles, & salmon rolls standing out for their freshness & taste. The ambiance was inviting, & the staff provided exceptional service, making the experience even more enjoyable. For anyone seeking a delightful dining experience in Montreal, OZen is a must-visit.
Nous avons pris un Bol Ozen, un PokeOzen & des won ton, à emporter, le tout était vraiment excellent. Un super service aussi, très accueillant & souriant ! J'ai vraiment adoré !
