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.
Delicious banh mi; super fresh ingredients, tangy flavor, soft bread. Also really yummy pearl tea - I had the matcha & brown sugar flavor which was rich yet not too sweet. The environment was nice, clean, & a decent spot for a solo traveler to sit & eat out of the cold.
The food is excellent. The ingredients are fresh & delicious. I highly recommend the vegetarian bánh mì. The staff is also very friendly. Go check it out!
Far & away the best bubble tea we've ever had!!! We didn't get a chance to try the food, but the tea was so good we went twice in one day. The staff were so lovely both times we went in, & the ambience of the shop was very nice, despite the small size. The amount of tapioca included was extremely generous, & they use compostable/recyclable cups, straws, & lids. I got the lychee-mango tea & my girlfriend got peach-mango - both were delicious! They also added a slice of fresh lemon to the teas which really brought out the flavor. We can't recommend this place enough! :)
i felt like having bubble tea so my boyfriend & i just went inside randomly & it ended up being such a good experience! we forgot to take more pictures but he got the mango dream & i got the raspberry rose & they were both delish!!! we then decided to have banh mis while we were there & OH. MY. GOODNESS. we made such a good choice. some of the best ive had! he took the beef one (in the picture) & i took the chicken one slightly spicy & they were so so so so good. the bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, the meat was flavorful, & the veggies were fresh & crunchy. 10/10. service was also amazing. kind, fun & wonderful people. they also have a punch card system 👍🏻! my boyfriend & i will DEFINITELY be back ❤?
Visiting from Boston, MA, & found this gem next to the nail salon. Their drinks are fresh & delicious as well as the amazing banh mi sandwiches. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is fast & friendly too! We'll definitely come back next time.

The service really makes the place, from the moment you enter the sweetest people are there to welcome you! The bubble tea was tasty (litchi is my fave) & the banh mi are always fresh + tasty! I always look forward to going here!!
Banh-Mi was delicious! The pork was very flavourful & the vegetables were very fresh & just pickled enough. Bread was soft & fresh. The workers are so nice, came during a 45° heatwave & she gave me a free orange juice because it was so hot out! 10/10
Best Banh Mi I've had in Montreal so far. I've had the chicken & I've had the pork & they're both amazing. Their Banh mi's are consistently tasty & fresh & the lady who works the cash is so sweet. The size is also very very good & I can't get over the sauce they use for their filling. 10/10 recommend

Best frickin sandwich ive ate in a long while. Meat was tender like a cheek, veggies were fresh out the garden, sauce was more enjoyable than the warmth of someones body. I would recommend this restaurant on my grave. Id run ads on my tomb. Nicest people of the day.
We've been received by the owner with such a joyful attitude. & everything she made was so good. The bubble tea was perfectly balanced & tasteful. & for the banh mi, everything is made on site (except the bread), so it was really fresh, with quality ingredients in quite a generous portion. Would easily recommend it to anyone.
