First time trying Pho on this side of the bridge. While the food was pretty good, I did not find it truly satisfied my pho craving. Feels very westernized and not authentic Pho. May be more popular because of the BYOB. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere is what I would expect from any Pho place, nothing fancy. I must say their Viet iced coffee was top notch though. That was my favorite out of all our order.

The little gem of the town! Food is always fresh and delicious right outta the kitchen. The lemongrass soup and shrimp is to die for! Family restaurant with super friendly and efficient staff and the owners are awesome. Been going for years and NEVER once had a bad meal.

I truly love this place and although the décoré is old the ambiance is always great and the food is exceptional. I hope I get to come here for a good lunch or dinner for a long time. I always recommend this place to everyone I know in the region. Will always keep coming back as long as they maintain this standard of doing things!

A taste of downtown Montreal at our doorstep. What a great restaurant. We moved from NDG close by a couple years ago and one of the things we missed was fine dining, great service at Normal prices. We came here for both lunch and dinner. Fantastic perfectly done dinner with exceptional service. You’d expect to pay a lot more for what you get. Don’t think twice and if you go, say HI to Jimmy for us! He’s the gentleman who will likely be your waiter and will likely become your friend in no time. 5 star service and 5 star food.

Found this gem!!! Absolutely delicious, authentic food. A must-try restaurant if you’re in the area. I definitely recommend. The people are nice, friendly and there’s good service. The food is so good and flavourful. My favourite is the combo grilled chicken and beef, comes with rice, spring roll, salad and fish sauce. It also comes with a soup, I usually switch mine for the tonkonoise beef soup instead, which is also sooo good. I wish I would’ve known about this place before. Now that we do, we go regularly. Cheers!

Almost 2 decades of succulent, fresh, affordable cuisine! Not to mention the warm service and an appreciated intimate atmosphere.

The commercial roller burn. The brown chicken meat has hidden something. The so-called beef meat from flexible plastic. Commercial salad dressing. The noodle soup not cooked properly nor the rice.

Disapointed. Vietnamese food is my go-to food when I want to treat myself and I was expecting a lot when I saw those reviews. Compared to all the vietnamese places Ive tried this one ranks last (both times I tried it). Meats are served with little to no marinade and all the sauces/marinades/broth Ive sampled are extremely bland.

December 23, 2023

Highly disappointed, worst restaurant I ve ever stepped foot in. Don t listen to the positive reviews. I usually love Viet food, and someone recommended this place to me. Regret is what I felt after i left. First of all, the food felt like I was eating plastic, barely any flavor. I literally felt like it was poison. None of my family liked it either. Even the soup I chose (tonkinoise soup) was bad. Undercooked noodles, flavorless meat, simply not edible. My guess is that the cooks are not even Vietnamese. If you plan to go in this restaurant, don t. Trust me on that one.

Proportions were generous! Unfortunately it tasted like the ingredients for the Tonkinoise soup and curry came from a can, and their imperial rolls were chewy/stale? and clearly low quality frozen product.

Wow people who give 5 stars you really dont know anything about Asian food. Cheap, lack of flavor, no traditional Vietnamese soup on the menu, no fresh herbs with the meal, the broth is not fresh, waiter unable to guarantee the ingredients. In addition, the price/quality ratio is a real joke. One wonders if these people have ever eaten authentic Asian food.

I didn t expected much from pho they have because it is not a specialized pho restaurant. Yet, I am still very disappointed with the so called pho they gave me: NO herbs NO thin sliced beef NO lime Soup tasted like the least effort given As a side dish, I also ordered spring roll. It has a weird stink that indicates unfresh ingredient. I have not try any other dishes, but from what I had, I would conclude that this restaurant is a westerner trap. Sorry to friends who recommended Chez Lam to me...

To end it off with a suplimentary Birthday dessert, fried pineapple with honey . They were All delicious and Divine! The hosts were kind and helped us pick the dishes . I would come back here in a heart beat!! When I paid the meal I couldn t believe the deal on the price I paid, because the food is so amazingly tasteful !
