Just being totally honest to warn others that do care about eating REAL authentic Vietnamese food. We were just there couple weeks ago and the food was just really awful and portions were extremely tiny!! They were charging like $30+ on avg for an entree and the bland chicken/beef pieces were cut up in all funny random shapes. The Pho broth lacked flavours and the crispy noodle got weird ketchup flavour.... I highly doubt the owner/chef had any heart in cooking decent meals. I see a lot of Vietnamese names in the reviews calling this place "authentic" but I'm sorry.... I have to call those all lies... I've eaten tons of real Vietnamese food in Toronto/Vancouver and this place is not even close to 10% of the normal quality!! The 3 stars given for service was for the Caucasian lady who was happy to serve us in English. I felt like a complete idiot having to pay over $120 (after tip) over 3 sad dishes...

Authentic Vietnamese Phở, I wish it could be served warmer.

This place is authentic. We really enjoyed our pho options. We got the appetizer plate and loved all that. It was freshly deep fried wonton, shrimp and egg rolls. Quaint place in a small neighborhood that can easily be overlooked. Parking is right next to the house looking entrance.

Looking for Asian food near airport and found this great Vietnamese food. Pho and wanton are good.

5 star, without a doubt one of the best Vietnamese cooking i've tasted, we took the group meal B and with only us 2 we finished it out of gluttony, i had to undo my belt to finish it. 10/10 recommends ! You can still go into their parking through the construction !

Very authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes authentic Vietnamese foods at very reasonable and fair prices. The serving size is fairly large for a good value. As a tourist from Toronto I will definitely return here to eat again.

The beautiful: food is great, very tasty and well served. Price is also very fair. The good: not very busy on Fridays noon, which is great for a calm lunch. The bad: the traditional music is kind of depressing and ambient is pretty dark. The ugly: service and staff could have some major improvement. Did not feel welcome.

First and last time, nothing interesting on the menu, everything is the same the only difference is that one bowl and the other a plate, the prices are exorbitant for the quantity, I come out with a bill of $85 for 2 and have to still hungry, and btw leave your pitcher on the table, come and make me put your elbows in the face every 2 minutes there hey go sit down at our table. No, as I said first and last, if you think about it, look at the menu first and you will quickly lose interest in comparing it to other restaurants which offer lots of cultural variety. Good-bye

Best restaurant in Quebec to find the real taste of Vietnam, especially when youve been there. Meals with large portions and quick service. Beautiful little shops with Asian products found in Vietnam including food. In an instant I felt like I was going back there. Negative points: little parking and slightly expensive prices and not offering a starter and dessert option like other Asian restaurants.

Fast service, fresh made, hot, just enough heat and lots of flavor without it being too busy. There is an air conditioner inside for sure, because you could feel the difference. It was hot outside, but cool inside. Im nervous, but it was just enough that I didnt need a jacket. The lady serving was in a good mood and super friendly both times I went. Thank you again for all ! You have this mixture of flavor and enthusiasm that makes my day every time!

Ill start with the good news. The food is good. Its good and you shouldnt be disappointed. Unfortunately, the bad news is that its not authentic Vietnamese food. I get more authentic vietnamesse food in Yellowknife. The prices are at least 20% higher than any other vietnamesse restaurant Ive ever been to and the service was subpar. The food took much longer to arrive than it should have and I never got my water glass refilled. The place is full of older Caucasian people, so I wouldnt change the menu either. If you dont usually eat ethnic food, youll be quite happy there. Any foodie out there, be warned.
