SAO SAO is a warm and friendly "Bring your own wine" Vietnamese family restaurant that is open for over 10 years in Brossard. Each roll, broth, sauce, skewer is prepared and made with love by our Mama Thi loyal to the traditions and the kitchen for all these years.
Sao Sao is frequently praised for generous portions and fresh, flavorful dishes, with the pho often hailed as excellent and lunch service described as fast; the place also earns compliments for a warm, cozy vibe that suits families and dates, and takeout is available. Overall, the reviews highlight good value, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, though a few readers report cleanliness concerns in the dining area, occasional slower or distracted service, and some dishes that don’t meet expectations, such as greasy broth or less authentic flavors.
I went to eat Wednesday night with my family & the two ladies who served me gave us impeccable service! The food was very good as well. Overall amazing experience!!
Belle découverte cette année. J'ai aimée le rapport quantité/prix. Rien à dire sur le service & l'ambiance, c'était impeccable. La nourriture était à mon goût & j'ai été surprise (positivement) par grosses portions. Je recommande fortement:)

A lovely experience with kind service. The bowls are huge & delicious. Shrimp chips were not what I had expected, but very satisfying. The fried wontons are a great appetizer come with a sweet sauce. Perfect side to a rich bowl of pho! Jasmin iced tea is refreshing & sweet! The limo jade drink has a particular taste, great if you like coconut & grass.
Nourriture très bonne, le service rapide & agréable ainsi que souriant ! On est bien acceuillit & le budget est raisonnable. Super endroit ou mangé je recommande !
Nous avions entendu parler de ce restaurant & nous avons profité d'être en vacances au CANADA pour découvrir ce super endroit!🤩 La nourriture, l'accueil & l'ambiance nous ont ravi. Nous vous le recommandant sans hésiter!😋

j'y suis allé avec ma famille un vendredi soir! Même si le restaurant étais très occupé, le service était digne de mention! Nicolas, notre serveur, est venue plusieurs fois à notre table pour s'assurer que nous étions satisfait & qu'il ne nous manquait de rien! Vraiment une belle découverte ce restaurant! Merci Nicolas!
I came to have lunch & to order a take-out lunch. I liked the food, the grilled chicken with rice vermicelli etc., a bit of water at the bottom of my bowl at the end, the sauce offered is good but sticks a little to the vermicelli etc. The coffee comes with the lunch, but I had to ask for it at the end of my meal & despite having paid for two meals, I only got one coffee. Good coffee though. The salad portion with the meals is a bit bland, I don't know if it's the preparation or if it's put in the fridge well in advance of the service. The pork is good, but be careful for people who don't like strong ginger or lemongrass marinades. The spring rolls are good but have a lot of grated carrot. A bit small too. I think the option of taking or not taking the bean sprouts & lime next to the bowls of soup would be appropriate, to reduce food waste. I liked the somewhat discreet service less, but it may be my style & preferences in terms of customer service or that I am a Millennial. I will go back with my partner, I will try something else, the chicken sandwich is good - even better with an addition of sriracha to consider! Venue pour manger un repas sur l'heure du midi & pour commander un repas midi pour apportez. J'ai aimé la nourriture, le poulet grillé avec vermicelle de riz etc, un peu d'eau au fond de mon bol à la fin, la sauce offerte est bonne mais colle peu au vermicelle etc. Le café vient avec le repas du midi, mais j'ai dû le demander à la fin de mon repas & malgré avoir payé pour deux repas, je n'ai eu qu'un seul café. Bon café cependant. La salade en portion avec les repas est un peu sans goût, je ne sais pas si c'est la préparation ou qu'elle soit mise au frigo très en avance sur le service. Le porc est bon, mais attention aux gens qui n'aiment pas tant les marinades fortes en gingembre ou lemongrass. Les rouleaux impériaux sont bons mais ont beaucoup de carotte râpée. Un peu petits aussi. Je pense que l'option de prendre ou non les fèves germées & lime en accotes des bols de soupe seraient de mise, pour réduire le gaspillage alimentaire. J'ai moins aimé le service un peu effacé, mais c'est peu être mon style & préférences en matière de service à la clientèle ou que je suis une Millenniale. J'y retournerai avec mon partenaire, j'essaierai autre chose, le sandwich au poulet est bon - encore plus avec un ajout de siriracha à noter!
Let's give the compliment where is due. The Place looks great, the menu has great potential. The items looked attractive & well thought out. But for us the most important point is the execution/taste of the food. & somewhat the service. We tried the curry chicken. The beef pho, the bun chicken bowl & the chicken vermicelli soupe/pho. Overall the taste of food was very disappointing. - The curry is too acidic, flavour profile not well balanced & not very complexe. We love Asian curries. Have tried 30+ Asian curry restaurant in Canada, & 50+ asians curries around the world. This is one of the worst. - the bun don't have enough authentic sauce/punch of flavour. It was rather blend. - the soups are good enough. Probably the best item out of what we were able to try at the restaurant. But after trying at least 20+ Vietnamese restaurant around Montreal. I would say it's a little below average. Ingredients are fresh. No problem there. The decors are cute. The service was slow, but the servers are nice & came to apologies a few times as they forgot us a few times & spilled hot soupe almost on my toodler. Overall feels this restaurant has potential, but definitely need a few adjustment in term of flavour execution.
Very slow service. Food is not on par with other Vietnamese restaurants in the Greater Montreal area. I needed to get some extra food after the meal because the portion was small.
Super bon! Ingredients frais! J'apprécie que la majorité des plats peuvent être vegétarien avec l'ajout de tofu. Cocktail très bon. Employées sympathique! Nous reviendrons certainement😊
