My family made reservations for noon on a Saturday and thankfully so, because the line was out the door upon arrival. We ordered a pho dac biet (#15) and bun bo hue dac biet (#24) . Come hungry, because their large bowls are massive! Their pho was so nourishing and comforting on a rainy day. Each bowl loaded with a hefty serving of meat, tendon and tripe. The herbs were incredibly fresh and even came with culantro! But the star of this meal had to be the bun bo hue; I haven't had such an amazing bun bo hue from a restaurant in a long time. The broth was beefy and loaded with tender pieces of meat, but also finally had enough of the lemongrass essence I crave for in bbh. It packed just the right amount of heat without it being overpowering or mouth-numbing. I practically licked the bowl clean at the end of the meal. My family was ecstatic to have found another spot that hits close to home for them. Flavors are impeccable and portion sizes are very generous. We already decided that we will be regulars. You'll catch us here very often!

T'Ami was the first vietnamese spot I tried in Montreal during my trip here. Located in Little…read moreItaly there was limited street parking but the area is very walkable. My table got the banh cuon mix, bun bo hue, and a mango smoothie. Food was overall good but the banh cuon was pricey and the mango smoothie has a strong yogurt flavor which is traditional but I wouldn't prefer it. The chu who was our server was super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere of the whole restaurant gives off Vietnam and it's super spacious! I would definitely come back again when I visit the area.

This is a decent Vietnamese restaurant near Italian town. When looking at the menu prior to my trip…read moreto Montreal, I was so excited to get here and it was the first stop for our trip. The selection of menu was incredibly special. The offering is Northern Vietnamese food and these special dishes are really hard to find at any different Vietnamese restaurant. Bun Cha Ha Noi - is also called Obama noodle because President Obama had it when he was in Vietnam. Besides the grilled pork, the hardest thing in my opinion is the sauce, which was good here. The only that bothered me is how small the portion is. We had to order extra meat for my daughter. Bun Dau Mam Tom - I have high expectation for a very authentic Vietnamese disk so I was not impressed with their Bun Dau Mam Tom. It normally comes with pork intestine. Where is my pork intestine? Haha Again the portion is also very small. Nem be which is similar to spring roll was also something we called at the end when everyone was still hungry. In my opinion, it is a bit expensive for the food and the portions are small.

All the staff were occupied with other customers, so I had to flag one down to get our order going. I ordered an iced Viet coffee with a Pho Bo Vien, Pho Ga and Pho Dac Biet, all in medium size. The portions were pretty generous and the flavors were really good. My coffee was a great balance between coffee and milk as well. It was the right choice for an in-and-out meal!

Whatever it was Pho Saigon Viet-Nam served me up the best Satay Beef Pho I ever tasted. I started my lunch meal with spring rolls ($5,00). They were good but not the best spring rolls I ever had. The roll I thought was a bit chewy. Next came the Satay Beef ($12) which totally flavored the Pho. It was the best Pho I ever had but mind you I am no expert. They have a strange business model in that a small bowl is $11 and a large bowl is $12. It came out piping hot. I had to let it sit, as well as, blow on the broth to cool it down. The staff was tri-lingual. Imagine that! The food came out quick. It seems a lot of locals dine here. The restaurant is located in Chinatown. The street entrance is below ground level. The restaurant is somewhat dated and upkeep could be improved. The food is a 5 STAR in my opinion.

More of a 3.5, but I'm giving this rating a little more leverage for the service and hospitality…read more We came on Christmas Eve, because all my other usual pho spots were already closing by 5pm. The restaurant was relatively empty. Tabletops had a bit of a stench to it and the menus handed to us were sticky. Not one to judge a book by its cover and these conditions are fairly common in Chinatown. The menu was pretty extensive with all the common dishes. I really wanted some banh cuon or banh uot, but on a frigid night, I felt like some pho would hit the spot instead. The bun bo hue and banh canh were very enticing to me; those would've been great options on a cold night as well. Prices were reasonable ranging from 12-16$ based on size. We ordered a small and medium; instantly regretted not getting a bigger size though because I def could have eaten more. Broth was darker than normal. Nothing stood out about the broth, but it was pretty spice-forward and still very much hit the spot. They surprisingly loaded up on the meat; I've never had this much meat in my bowl of pho at any other restaurants. The noodles were also cooked perfectly! Realistically I probably wouldn't come back here as often if my other usual spots were open, but I'm especially grateful they were welcoming during holiday hours. I noticed that the banh xeo and some other dishes were cheaper than other places though, so maybe I'll return for that. CASH ONLY.

This was a pretty large and clean restaurant located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. They had lots of tables and also a pretty robust takeout service.

Best pho hands down! I love spring rolls and they were tightly packed with lots of shrimp and pork!…read moreAnd they were also mad long lmaooo We came back twice bc it was that good! Bun Bo Hue - 10/10 Super flavorful broth and a perfect super mild spicy! I personally don't like all the pork feet and bones in my noodle soup but authentically I think it should come with it and other people prefer it. But I liked that it only came with the regular viet ham and beef bc I don't like the other things. #44 Pork Chop Rice Plate - 10/10 It may look small on camera but this portion was HUGE. Lots of rice! But the pork chop was decent regular size. Pork chop was perfectly marinated and I love the glaze that comes with it. Cooked perfectly as well not too dry and not tough. Also the fried egg was perfect! A little soft fried sunny side egg yolk! Overall I loved all elements of this place and I had so much rice left over but I was FULL for the whole day. Banh Xeo - 10/10 HUGE portion as well! It's super stuffed with lots of filling and the crepe was cooked soft and crispy! I like this style of appetizer because it's super hands on and you get to wrap it like a little roll. Super fun and yummy appetizer! ALSO pleaseee try the sugar cane drink! It's so refreshing and it's real authentic sugar cane and it literally soothes your soul. The ambience was super welcoming and the restaurant was super big and spacious. Overall, I liked every single dish and everything was super flavorful and made me feel good eating it! Best bun Bo hue I had!

December 13, 2025 - I went on a little weekend trip to Montreal. Honestly I was not very attentive…read morewhen ordering and decided to let him order everything and we all split the dishes so I do not recall the name of every dish that was ordered. But briefly, we got a spring roll (I think it was the sprimp and chicken), a chicken dish (I think we got the half chicken), a pho dish and the grilled chicken and shrimp with salad and vermicelli. The spring rolls were good. Very crunchy wrapping, mixed with a fusion of veges, protein and vermicelli. The half chicken was my least favorite dish. I think it's an acquired taste, but the meat was tough to chew and the sauce was a quite tart. Combining all the factors mentioned above, it was a bit difficult to eat. The pho was good. The soup brough was warm, hearty and filling. The noodles were good too - very soft and easy to eat. The vermicelli dish was also good. Very standard protein and vege vermicelli dish. The chicken was tender and shrimp was grilled to perfection. Not a bad choice for Vietnamese cuisine in Montreal.

The raw beef appetizer served with shrimp chips was outstanding, and my porkchop over rice was excellent. I had a taste of my friend's Pho which also seemed really nice. Solid jasmine tea as well! Dunno, just a nice solid meal with relatively fast service in a no frills setting. This is the kind of local joint we all wish we lived near, kudos to those who do.

First of all, this place is located on the street level of a duplex, so easy to miss it if you are not paying close attention. Street parking with maybe space in the driveway for 1 or 2 vehicles. It is a small place with approx 15 tables ranging from seating for 2 to 6/8 per table. Great service, so no complains there! Now for the food...PHENOMENAL! Every dish tasted like they were made from a Vietnamese's home. Great flavours without the "restaurant" taste, if you know what I mean. I would imagine if we were to visit a Vietnamese person's home, the dishes would taste something along this line. Having lived close to San Jose, CA (large Viet population with lots of specialty restos) and currently from just outside Toronto, where we have an array of authentic Viet restos, this place rates near the top in comparison to Viet restos we have been to, even in Montreal. This is definitely our favourite Viet restaurant...hoping to pick up a takeout from here before we leave this week!

Their menu is small - only 9 items (no vegetarian options) - but they do their menu amazingly. I have yet to eat at restaurant that serves better Hu Tiu on the east coast. What's more, my parents love it and they say it truly brings them back to Vietnam. While I highly recommend their Hiu Tiu and Mi (which you can get with broth or dry/broth on the side), they also have amazing rice and vermicelli plates too. The staff are very friendly and attendant. Service is fairly quick. The restaurant itself is small, but very clean on the inside. As a side note, the hot tea they serve is so fragrant and delicious - it compliments the meal well. Overall, very happy by this discovery and stop and I highly, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! Some notes to keep in mind: - This is a CASH ONLY business - For those who have difficulty getting around... It's a little over a mile from the Cote-des-Neiges station, but an easy walk (nearby bus stops too) -There isn't any sort of accessible entrance into the restaurant itself as there are a good amount of stair to go up, so keep that in mind!

I had three bad experiences at this restaurant. I kept going back because I work in the area and…read morewas hoping for a good place for hot soup at lunch and a chill spot for 5 à 7 with my colleagues. Service was slow and un-caring in the bar. Management in the restaurant was arrogant and offensive. On top of everything the $23.00 pho was the worst pho I have ever tasted. The worst part: I emailed the buisiness to offer them my grievance. They requested I detail my poor experiences by email, which I did and they then completely ignored me (i received no responce). Poor Management. Terrible food that is overpriced. The drinks are fancy and nice, but there are better spots close by.

My absolute favorites were the spicy beef tataki salad and the pork buns (you could see both in my pictures), and I'll most likely order both next time I go. I also liked the shiso leaf appetizer and the pork imperial rolls, but I wasn't as crazy about them. The service was great too. All of the things our waitress suggested we liked. My only critique is the price. For the price that you pay, I find the portions to be small and it is very easy to rack up a big bill, especially if you are hungry. I would have easily rated this restaurant 5 stars if the prices were a little cheaper or the portions a little bigger.

We were met by the server as soon as we walked in the door and were seated with menus. She brought over 2 glasses of water right away. We were surprised that we weren't offered an option of tea or water. We both ordered the pho with a beef rib. The food came very quickly. The beef rib was quite tender but with lots of connective tissue (which we enjoy). The broth was pretty good, but definitely nowhere near as good as many other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. The serving size of both noodles and protein were very generous, but it's quite an expensive dish so that wasn't surprising. The washroom was unisex and was clean and tidy. We would return to try other dishes the next time we're visiting Montréal.
