Reviews describe Resto Cali as a clean, welcoming spot serving healthy, fresh Vietnamese food with no fuss and fast, friendly service on Saint Denis. The beef and chicken pho tonkinoise are repeatedly praised for depth and balance, and dishes like imperial rolls and vermicelli with shrimp and pork get solid marks, with portions described as generous and prices as reasonable. Several notes emphasize a traditional, no nonsense dining vibe and an atmosphere that is both casual and pleasant, with decor and staff receiving compliments. Some comments mention that banh mi is no longer offered and a few diners feel some Vietnamese places focus more on profit, but overall the restaurant is often cited as among the cleanest in Montreal and well worth a visit. Loyal customers, including students, express strong enthusiasm, calling it the best tonkinoise pho they have had and praising its freshness and flavor.
One of the few places that does BBH well & this one does. I asked for fresh chilis & they actually brought them. The pho special was very good & chicken fresh rolls are very good. I think they could be more generous with the meat. The accompanying dipping sauce was good.
Si vous voulez déguster des mets vietnamiens, c'est ici que ça se passe!! Cuisine savoureuse & authentique, service impeccable & rapide. Je recommande vivement !
Average for Montreal. Low for other better cities. Price on high side. Cooking & ingredients on the lower side. I would come back if i have no better choices.

Excellente Pho & super service ! C'est un restaurant vietnamien typique & parfait pour les soirées de semaine ou pour une bonne Pho un dimanche pluvieux. Je recommande si vous avez envie de manger Vietnamien & que vous êtes autour de l'UQAM.
Cuisine authentique, c'était délicieux. Nous avons pris le #47, le poulet était tellement bon avec une belle variété de légumes sautés dans une petite sauce parfaite. J'irais tous les semaines! Merci beaucoup pour ce délicieux repas.
Came in mid-day when it seemed like they had a busy lunch rush & got turned away, told they weren't doing banh mi for take out :/ no indication in google or their website that this had changed
Came here for lunch on a cold weekday, they served us with a big pot of hot tea, we all enjoyed the hot tea to start. Ordered the special small pho. The quantity was indeed small. The soup was delicious & fresh. Would come again.
Bien belle accueil // rouleau de printemps très décevant,vermicelles goûte rien salade iceberg un peu de coriandre & 3 crevettes...aucune saveur & sauce arachide très peu goûteuse & aucun banmi
Fair price for the food & location Large menu of classic viet dishes! Food is served quickly,comes with a tea The grilled pork was flavourful & paired really well with the rice. The few veggies weren't the best but for the price I really canot complain
