Restaurant Phnom Penh

This place is small, but their food was flavorful. The pork bone broth was so good, I had the dry noodles, I clean that bowl up quick. Don't make the mistake I did, ask for the bone in the soup.

Line up can get really crazy & nothing is worth hours of waiting. Especially when it goes out the door & you have to stand in the staircase going up. Parking is a little difficult to find. They specialize in a Vietnamese dish called Hu Tieu & you can have it either dry with soup on the side or noodles in the soup. It is typically simple & easy to make with lots of cheap ingredients. But if you aren't cooking this for a lot of people, this is a quick easy way to get your Hu Tieu fix. Dough fritters are really good too. If you are in Montreal, I would recommend this as cheap eats but excellent value & taste for the price. Ate here a few times & it has been consistent which I also look for when handing out 5/5 stars.

If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese hu tieu in Montreal, this is hands down one of the best spots. It's the closest taste you'll get to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).

I've been here many times, & the quality has always been consistent. The hu tieu is the highlight, & I highly recommend trying different variations to find your favorite. You can choose between the soup or dry version, & also between tapioca noodles, egg noodles, or a mix of both. Personally, I like mixing the two-it gives a great balance between softness & a bit of chew/crunch.

Service is quick & efficient-no fluff, just good service. The owner & staff are friendly & have a great sense of humor, which adds to the experience.

The only downside is that it gets very busy, especially on weekends. On Saturdays, it's best to arrive before 11am, otherwise you might be waiting around 30 minutes. That said, the wait is absolutely worth it.

Overall, highly recommend. A must-try if you love Vietnamese food.

A hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has been around for many years & continues to offer great value for the price. Tucked away up a small staircase in an unassuming building in CDN, this humble eatery is our go-to spot for Phnom Penh noodles. We usually order the dry version, though they also serve a smaller soup bowl on the side.

It operates on a first-come, first-served basis. We visited during Saturday lunch & there was already a queue, but we were seated within about 20 minutes. This is a no-frills spot - no fancy décor, just simple & modest seating arrangements. It is also cash-only.

Despite its simplicity, the service from the owner remains as friendly & welcoming as ever after all these years.

The restaurant is on the second floor. Cash only. 13$ for one large bowl of Cambodian noodles (with soup or dry). 3$ for one fried donut.

The portions are small with very few pieces of meat. The shrimp was mushy.

The clientele mostly consist of Cambodian/vietnamese & the place is small so there is a small queue.

We had the beef soup, Phnom Penh dry noodles, fried donuts, & spring rolls & everything was super good! Totally worth the 15-minute wait & really affordable. One of the servers was kinda banging things around, but honestly the food made up for it. Still one of the best spots around!
