J'ai adoré leur banh mi au poulet c'était très savoureux ainsi que leur matcha latte glacé.
Pour le service, la serveuse était très aimable & très serviable. Elle a rendu le tous très facile sachant que c'était ma première fois sur les lieux.
Je recommande fortement leur succursale sur Jean-Talon !!
I came there because I saw a girl I follow on Instagram post about on Instagram, but after seeing the reviews I wanted to say my honest opinion.
Apparently, the Instagrammed girl & her boyfriend went there & got a bowl & a sandwich. After looking at the not-so-cheap prices, I opted for a bowl because it would keep me full for longer.
I was honnestly disappointed with my experience... The bowl was not worth the money in my opinion.. I mean when I eat a bowl or go to a restaurant I look for freshness of ingredients, but the corn & several other ingredients felts like they came from a can or were frozen before hand. So right there a big no-no. They also don't have options like shrimp or sea food that are often found in Vietnamese cuisine & are often found in bowls. It's basically either meat or tofu as options.
I saw that several people in the reviews opted for a delivery, which makes sense because the space is super small & is split with a pizzeria. You heard me right: the location has one counter for sky bird & & another for a pizzeria, no wall or anything in between & one employee to cover both restaurants.
Another thing is, the place is supposed to be a Vietnamese restaurant but the meat is halal, why? At first I thought that I was uneducated, but no upon googling I learned that Vietnam has only 0.1% Muslims which begs the question why the halal meat? I find that it removes from the'authentic experience'
Pretty sure they just paid a bunch of influencers to make videos & leave good reviews.
This restaurant space opened a few years ago -- a good Italian sandwich/pizza place (Pizza Al Taglio) with a bakery cafe section in front. I guess maybe it was two seperate businesses in one enclosed space with a common seating area. Then they shut down, a sign said'closed for renovations' & they shut down for over a year! So I thought it was over. Well they reopened, out of the blue. The pizza place is still there, but the front of the place (where the cafe/bakery was) is now Rio Skybird Asian Grill. A franchise with only one other location: Pierrefonds. Against my better instincts, I ordered a bahn mi sandwich with lemongrass beef. Now if this were the Pierrefonds locations i might be more generous with my reviews. But seeing as were this place is located within steps of multiple legit good Vietnamese bahn mi places, I cannot recommend this sandwich. It didn't taste like anything except artificial lemongrass. The bread was crusty, but the way they heated up in a oven before making the sandwich just made the :whole experience feel Subwayesque. Other points against them: their menu is on flatscreen TVs; no one associated the place is asian.
Superbe découverte ! L'endroit est magnifique avec une ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante. Le service était au top, & en plus, ils nous ont offert des biscuits gratuits juste avant la fermeture, une belle attention qui fait toute la différence. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !
