Sadly, I have to update my review. The quality has really gone down lately, the herbs aren't as fresh as before, & the broth has become greasy & bad-tasting. When we complained, instead of replacing it properly, they just dumped out the old broth & poured the new one on top, leaving bits of bone marrow stuck around the rim.

It also feels like they're understaffed now, service is slower, they forget small things, & I was even charged extra for something that used to be included. It's a shame, because this used to be my favorite pho spot with fresh food, fair prices, & a great ambiance. I truly hope they bring back the quality they once had.

The pho was quite good & I notice that all the dishes have very generous portions!

Ma deuxième fois= insatisfaisante. La dame demande nos commandes ... sans avoir de l'eau & verres à bières avant tout. Ma fille reçoit un général sao farineux, mon autre fille mon conjoint & moi avons des soupes pho dont j'ai dû demander l'accompagnement lime, fèves germes... 15 minutes après avoir reçu nos 3 soupes avec un boeuf cuit.. non saignant. À 2 reprises je dois demander de l'eau en faisant signes a un serveur. J'ai dû demander 3 fois sur une entrée que je voulais en même temps que le souper & que j'ai reçu a la fin du repas. Jamais personne est venue valider si tout est ok pour notre table de 5 personnes. Bref avisons de notre insatisfaction & avons reçu 3 desserts. Mais malgré tout je reste incertaine de payer 130$ encore & être aussi insatisfaite du service & des repas...

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.

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.

I wanted to like this place, I really did. MC pho is my Brossard go-to pho restaurant but it's closed today, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I'd try a new place, Sao Sao was jumping to my face, however it didn't stand up to my expectation...at all. The restaurant is actually well decorated. The server was nice & cute, too. BUT, the spicy beef rice noodles, also known as bun bow hue, were a big miss to me. First of all, the noodles were way too undercooked. When it comes to cook these kind of thick rice noodles , you have to soak them into hot water for a couple of hours ( at least 30 minutes), then you can cook them into perfection, however, I don't think the cook here knows this technique like every other pho restaurants out there. The rice noodles are too hard to chew. Even bending them is difficult. Second, the broth was not even hot, not tasty at all. This lemongrass flavor was missing, due to the lemongrass chunck that they use was sitting in the fridge too long, I assume. & the meat was nearly fresh, for spicy beef soup , I don't expect lots of flavorless prok stew in there. Big disappointment. The curry chicken bowl (p4)was pretty standard. That was the only reason that I rate this place 3 stars. Oh, one last thing, they don't have basil ...
