Cà Phê Sữa Đá
Peter T.

If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Vietnamese to-go shop, Vua is the place to visit! Vua's staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their selection of Vietnamese dishes is amazing. Although they couldn't understand my order, I got it through with patience and understanding. It's important to stay humble and support immigrant-owned restaurants! Banh mi sandwiches are a must-have, as they come with a variety of meats like pork, beef, and chicken, and the flavors are incredible. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are reasonable, so you'll get your money's worth. It was fresh, despite being 4 PM when I ordered. Vua also offers a wide selection of other Vietnamese dishes like che desserts, biscuits, and Vietnamese coffee. All dishes are made with fresh and flavorful ingredients that make them irresistible. I ordered the Cà Phê Sữa Đá as a pick me pick-me-up. It was sweet, so I recommend asking them to lighten on the condensed milk if you really want to taste the coffee flavor. If you're looking for a satisfying and delicious meal in a comfortable atmosphere, Vua is the place to visit. With their friendly staff and a wide selection of affordable and tasty Vietnamese banh mi, you'll have a wonderful and quick meal!

Banh mi special which includes ham, Vietnamese sausage, and pate!
Andrew N.

A hidden gem in Montreal! This banh mi (Vietnamese baguette) shop is sandwiched between a strip of local food places and can be easily missed as it's located down a set of stairs. We came here to stop for a quick banh mi break and here's my rundown: Food - -Saigon Banh Mi - This is available in 7 inches and 10 inches but to be honest, it's a much better deal to get it with 10 inches. This included ham, Vietnamese sausage (cha lua) and pate on top of pickled radish and daikon, marinated carrots, coriander, and various sauces. This Banh Mi was SO good and had so much flavour! All of the condiments went so well with each other and there's also so many different meats you can get. It's so great for those grab and go type of people. Atmosphere - It's located on the lower level of a building so you have to go down a set of stairs to access it. There's some places to sit down but this place is suitable for those who are wanting some quick takeout food. Service - Service here was very good. The employees here give such great hospitality and are very communicative. Perhaps I am a little biased since they were Vietnamese and recognized that I was Vietnamese but I did observe the employees' interactions with other customers and overall, they seemed very welcoming! Price - For a 10 inch banh mi, it was just under $5 which is a great bargain for what you're getting. This is definitely food on a budget except you're still getting quality food with the banh mi. Verdict - Highly recommend this place for some quick eats! They have lots of drink options to quench your thirst and the service here is great and efficient. They also have some asian cooking products / snacks for you to purchase on the side too. It may be a little hard to find but once you check this place out, you will for sure be returning for the food and people.

Absolutely delicious Banh mis that are well priced! They have lots of other small convenience store snacks. They're in the basement so don't miss the entrance!

The BEST damn Bahn Mi I've EVER had. Un-freaking-believable. I am smacking myself I couldn't bring home a ginormous cooler full of these Vietnamese sub-like sandwiches and freeze them: One for each day. For the rest of my life. If there's extra room, I'd bring home double the amount. For breakfast. This quite possibly is what I'd ask for for my last meal on earth. At least an extremely close second. Got their small Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi. Extra protein ($1 extra) and avocado ($1 extra). Excellent sandwich. Seriously! The sauce they use, well I forgot to ask the kitchen staff, but it was to die for. I'm having trouble describing it, so just go check it out yourself. A few seats on their outside patio. Wonderful for people watching - man, do Montrealers love their outdoor spaces! Not very big on the inside, but their's more seating in the fast-casual joint right above them. If I could do a UYE for my Columbus peeps here, good gosh I'd do it in a heartbeat. ROAD TRIP!!

3 dollar sandwich

A top choice for yummy food, good prices and super efficient service. If you go after 9pm you get a 30% discount on most of their food. Good for packed lunches the next day.

a 10-incher pre-bagged for takeout

Holy scheisse, this place has high reviews. I pray none of them are for the Vietnamese sandwich, which was by far the worst banh mi I've ever tasted. An array of Vua's 10" Vietnamese sandwiches are $2.95 after 9pm. What a steal! They won't toast them, though, because apparently they turn off the ovens by then. The sandwich is already pre-assembled and bagged so you can be in and out in under a minute. We went with the classic. Unfortunately the sandwich was terrible - did they put onion gravy in it??? There was an excess of something cloyingly sweet and sticky that is completely foreign to all my banh mi endeavors. The pickled veggies inside were mushy and tasteless instead of providing crunch or tartness. The bread, of course, was spongy and cold but didn't seem like it'd hold up as toasted baguette either. If there was pate in it -sigh!- then it was swallowed up by the strange gooey sweetness. Quebec, of all places to ruin a pate! I had neither high nor low expectations for this place - just hungry! but the banh mi was just a huge disappointment on all fronts besides price. Come here if you just want to be full; 3 bucks for almost a foot of sandwich is a sweet deal. But if you actually know what banh mi tastes like, avoid avoid avoid Vua's offerings.

7" veggie tofu banh mi and a coconut tapioca cup
Livien Y.

This unassuming basement shop boasts an impressive selection of drinks, snacks, rice boxes, sushi, and desserts. There are a few small tables in the lower level shop, but if the cafe is full, there's seating outside and plentiful space upstairs. I ordered a veggie sandwich, taro bubble tea, and coconut tapioca cup. The sandwich was listed as 7" but looked a little on the small side. The tofu/carrot filling made for a satisfying vegetarian option. The bread was denser and less crisp than the french baguettes I've had at other banh mi shops. On the other hand, the chewier bread made the small sandwich more filling. Taro bubble tea had great flavor but the cup was stuffed to brim with ice cubes.. reminiscent of Starbuck's volume-filler trick. Minor complaints aside, Vua is exactly the kinda joint I'd like to make a daily stop in. The selection is wide and the service is fast.

Taste so good...i had to drive to this place!

Delicious, cheap, simple and (fairly) healthy sandwiches with a Vietnamese twist. Limited seating.

We arrived at 5pm, and were able to be seated at a reserved table which wouldn't be occupied until…read more7pm. Don't be fooled by the grunge-y exterior! Once inside you'll see a charming bar surrounded by tables, some with cushions! If you decide to go outside, there's a lovely garden terrasse with lights and plants everywhere! We ordered 3 entrees, a main dish, and a side of edamame beans. All of the dishes arrived one by one about 15 minutes after ordering, which really impressed me considering how fast the restaurant was filling up! Every dish we ordered was delicious, the chicken pad thai had a lot of chicken and egg in it which I really enjoyed, and the sauce was tangy and helped bring all the other ingredients to life! The calamari, crab cakes, and tuna tataki were all very impressive dishes, just big enough to enjoy without filling you too quickly. The edamame beans were tossed in a soy based sauce and caramelized onions, which I had not seen done before. And guess what: LOVED it! Quick and friendly service, incredible atmosphere, and worth a second trip!

Went to this bar for the first time with friends on a rainy day so we had thought maybe our…read morereservation would be pushed back since we weren't sure if the bar had a covered terrasse ( which it did ). We were also late and I had called the number and left them a voicemail to advise them & when I got there and mentioned this , the host looked at me weird , which I didn't get why and went to see if they can find us another table since they had given our table away since they thought we were going to be a no show ( since they didn't check the phone msg). We got to our table, the waiter was nice and super helpful for the dinner . We had ordered the edamame and chicken gyoza for appetizers. The edamame had a quick since it had a blend of spices to make this Japanese spice & the gyozas were succulent. Mains : my friends had orders the tofu salad and tartare , and I had ordered the bibimbap. Mine was as expected , delicious & so was the tartare. The only main complaint my friend had was for the the tofu salad as there was barely any tofu in the salad and more of the kale . Drinks : I ordered a regular mojito ( not the one on the menu but the classic), one friend ordered a non alcoholic mojito & the other didn't order anything to drink. She had wanted an ice tea since she was driving and the bar actually had everything but ice tea , which was a first . The reason why it's a 3 star is not solely based on the drink selection, but mainly how we were greeted and dealt with at the beginning. I would definitely go back eventually to try again when it isn't raining

I was yearning for Asian food and I came across this menu online and noticed the Thai options they…read morehad, so I walked here a few blocks from the hotel I was staying in. They were moderately busy on a Tuesday night and they greeted and seated me immediately. My server was great, very friendly and helpful. The menu had a couple of items that looked appetizing, such as the Tom Yum soup and curry chicken stir fry. I started with jasmine hot tea, which was excellent and warming after the walk in 2 degree weather. The soup was warm as well, but flavors weren't as authentic as I expected. It was decent though. Next up was the curry chicken stir fry and it was really bland, so I used a bunch of their hot sauce to spike it up. I've never been to a Thai spot that didn't have birds eye chili and Prik nam pla, as their hot sauce was a form of sriracha. It was spicy, but not much flavor. Overall, the venue was beautifully decorated and service was great, but food mediocre.
