Reviews describe Thé Perlé Banh Mi as a standout in Montreal for authentic, flavorful banh mi, with bread that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, juicy meat, fresh pickled vegetables, and generous portions that many call great value. Chicken and pork banh mi are especially praised, with the spicy chicken and savory pork among the favorites, and options including beef and a popular vegetarian version. Bubble tea is frequently highlighted as a strong companion to the sandwiches, with flavors such as taro, rose, mango, and lychee noted as tasty and reasonably priced. Staff are consistently described as friendly, attentive, and welcoming, contributing to a cozy, family-like atmosphere, and the move to a bigger location near Saint Denis is mentioned as making visits more comfortable. Pricing is repeatedly praised as affordable, and many reviewers say it is one of the best banh mi spots in Montreal. A few comments point to occasional fatty meat or MSG concerns and one note about the new space, but overall the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.
Found this place out of the blue looking for good banh mi snack/treat, I chose the chicken one it was delicious! Happy to fjnd a new spot in Plateau with some good boba & banh mi, can't wait to try more of their options!
We happened to pass by this place in the mood for some drinks & decided to check it out. We were very positively surprised! The owner greeted us very warmly & guided us through the menu. The honey melon & taro boba were delicious & priced very reasonably in comparison to other similar places in the area. Highly recommend giving this place a boost!

The lady was super sweet, really funny & bubbly. My friend & I ordered the pork & chicken banh mi. BEST in Montreal!! We then ordered bobas to go & wow I absolutely love this place. Definitely going back with more friends. If you're ever in the Plateau, stop by & visit :)
All I can say is that this place deserves every part of the rating I give it. The owners were some of the sweetest people I had met in Montreal, & were extremely welcoming & friendly. She had recommendations for me each time I visited (3 times within 4 days). I don't speak any French, & I felt very comfortable speaking English there. The atmosphere of their shop was also amazing. You can tell they spent a lot of time & effort on making it cozy & warm inside. I don't have pictures, but there are neon lights, old wine bottle decorations, & more. Oh right, the food was incredible too. I got two different kinds of fruit tea, & one brown sugar boba. I also tried the pork bahn mi, as well as the beef. 10/10, I recommend stopping here for a cold drink & a warm sandwich.

The woman serving me today was so kind & helped me so much (lowkey I always fail at ordering correctly the first time)! Delicious boba & great service! Thank you!!!
One of the best boba spots I've got the chance to find!! Their brown sugar is homemade & it was so delicious!! The staff is so kind & welcoming as well. I'm definitely going back
Best banh mi place in Montreal! I've gone back 5 times & each time it's just as delicious. Recently tried the boba & also a big fan of it as well. Bonus: the kind lady who works there makes every visit even better!!
The boba at this place is delicious, I always take the Coulis de fraise & it never disappoints. This is my favourite bubble tea place in Montréal. The sandwiches are extremely good too
I had been wanting to try this place for a while so I decided to come in while I was passing by. The staff were so nice & helped me pick a flavour as it was my first time! The brown sugar Boba was very delicious! The atmosphere is also great, & has very cute decor! I will definitely be coming back again :)
Tout était parfait. Le staff est accueillant, drôle & gentil. Les rapport qualité prix est incroyable. Vraiment, je ne pense pas qu'un meilleur endroit existe pour boire du boba!
