Resto Cali is praised for authentic Vietnamese cooking in a clean welcoming setting with fast friendly service and solid pho. The beef tonkinoise and chicken pho are commonly highlighted along with spring rolls and vermicelli with shrimp and pork, and portions are generous with prices described as reasonable and XL options for bigger appetites. A note from reviewers mentions that the place stands out for cleanliness, with some calling it the cleanest Vietnamese spot in Montreal. While the experience is reliable for tasty staples, some reviews feel the focus is more on profit than on quality. Banh mi is no longer offered, and staff explain that it has not been available for years, which disappoints some visitors. Overall the tone is that Resto Cali delivers standout tonkinoise soup and dependable favorites, a solid choice for a quick and flavorful Vietnamese meal with fast service on Saint Denis.
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
Just tried Resto Cali for the first time. We were super impressed with this spot - comfy & clean vibe, fast & professional service & very tasty food! We had the #40: Shrimp & pork vermicelli bowl w imperial spring rolls. Mmm - very highly recommend!
This place is perfect 💯 it was a try we were just passing by & decided to stop but I can say this is the best! it's on the top of my list now!! Surely coming back the food is extremely delicious the place is clean that's a plus! Peaceful music is just a vibe
