I ordered their vietnamese sandwich and an espresso. Both were prepared right then and there in front of me. I got to sip on my espresso while they finished making my sandwich, it was hot and smooth, not bitter, just right. The sandwich came out and they wrapped it nicely. Good size sandwich for the price. Really really good, had a nice spicy kick to it, I was tempted to come back the next day to get another one. Super fresh vegetables and just a really refreshing and filling sandwich.

I thought the Banh Mi would be freshly made & toasted but they were just pre-packaged. This does make the line go super fast though. Chicken Banh Mi ($9) was very flavourful and I liked the touch of the fried onions. The baguette was alright - would've been delicious if it was toasted! I also tried the Chicken Aioli Wrap ($8.50) and that was pretty good too! Great flavour. Again, would've been great if we were given the option to have it warmed up!

We ate at the bar and chatted up the staff -- the counter clerk is the owners sister, the Hot Cars on the wall are the owners. (Why did my kids throw away their Hot Cars?) Without the check I can't remember which sandwiches we had except to say that they've taken the traditional banh mi, added a far amount of cool fusion to them, and produced a very tasty sandwich. More fillings than the traditional banh mi. And better baguette. (The traditional bread is softer. I can't swear t it but a Vietnamese banh mi shop owner explained to me that because of the climate in Vietnam the baguette is softer than what we're used to in Canada and the US.) And the price was right. And the service was lovely. And we were hungry and these banh mu hit the spot. If you're in Mile-End, give Banh Mi Banh Yiu a try.

Their sea-salt chocolate brownie is particularly great.

You will find great coffee (they roast their own and it's fantastic!) and great homemade food and treats.. moist carrot pineapple cake, udon, onigiris, pain doré with matcha if you fancy and even kid's meal. This place is well adapted for parents to bring their young kids while they enjoy a coffee or meal, as there is a play area in the back. During the weekend, you will often find live music during brunch hours. The owners wanted to create a place with a sense of community for their community..and I think they nailed it.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Very popular dumplings restaurant…read morein the Concordia University area. Dumplings were good but comparable to other nearby dumpling places. The Long Version: My husband and I came here for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed. We snagged the last table available. The restaurant is in the heart of the Concordia University area and we were the only people in the restaurant, other than staff, not of typical university age. Lol. We both got soup dumplings. I got the juicy pork ones ($10.99 for 10) and my husband got the pork and shrimp ones ($14.99 for 10). They were a good size. The dumpling skin was a bit thicker than at other places and maybe a bit tougher too. That did make them hold the soup in better though, lol. They were tasty, but similar in tastiness to other dumpling restaurants we've been to in Montreal (that were less busy and even cheaper). I expected them to be better due to their popularity, but I still enjoyed them. Service was pleasant and efficient. Decor is casual. There are steps down to enter the restaurant. We walked there from our hotel, but if you're driving it's street parking only. Good luck with that, lolz. Review #70 (2025)

I only finished my omelet because I'm pregnant and needed some food in my body. I got the cathedral omelet which when it came looked so sad. The eggs were not fluffy at all and it was brownish.

Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, or maybe all the food tastes bad?
