Guests consistently praise the masterful execution of traditional staples such as pho, bánh mì, and fresh spring rolls, often highlighting the high quality of ingredients and the perfect balance of spices. The restaurant is appreciated for its cozy, family-run atmosphere and welcoming service, which frequently includes complimentary tea and a personal touch from the owners.

We went in with zero expectations but had a great dinner here. Really like the simple menu with Vietnam essentials. Ordered the beef pho, bun cha, fresh spring rolls & lime juice. Everything was flavorful but in a light & healthy way. One thing to notice is there's no AC inside, dining outside on a hot summer day would be ideal.

I was visiting Quebec from Toronto, & this was by far one of the best bowls of pho I've ever had. The broth was incredibly rich & flavourful. I travel a lot for work & make a point of trying pho everywhere I go. I even make it at home. Hands down, I've never had pho like this. Highly recommend!

A friend & I visited this places because it was said to be a local gem however, the experience was the complete opposite. You have a higher chance of getting a better service at a mcdonalds than here.

The customer service was non existent. We waited a good 15 minutes to be acknowledged/be seated & we did make eye contact with the server (one of them even passed us to go outside but they said nothing).

We ordered the pho (somewhat surprised they only have the 1 pho dish) & it was disappointing to say the least. The broth was not clear (it came pre-seasoned with chili oil), the noddles were very little, & barely any meat. I wouldn't complain about it but they were charging $18 for it. We also had the fried spring rolls which was OK. I did have to flag the server down about it & was told that they couldn't make spring rolls because they didn't have any plates but they can give me the fried ones instead.... which was exactly what we ordered.

Un VRAI restaurant vietnamien ! La carte propose la base des plats vietnamiens traditionnel. J'ai dégusté un Pho excellent ! & il en fût de même pour le'Bo bun' de mon épouse. Je recommande vivement ce lieu, l'accueil & super & le rapport qualité prix parfait.

I lived in Vietnam for six years & have searched all over North America for pho that hits the same way. This is in the top 3 easily. INCREDIBLE.

Very low key homemade Vietnamese place. They had a very limited menu & everything we ordered was great & very fresh. The complimentary hot tea however was over brewed & a bit bitter. We ordered Vermicelli bowl & Pho & both were very different from the other places I have had.

Ok, you're overly cheesed, sugared & buttered from the usual fare in Quebec, then you stumble across Chez Yen. Yes! A small menu, but what they do, they do very well. Besides the other reviews about what has a Quebec style influence in the food (banh mi, anyone?), the noodle & pho offerings are huge,'clean' tasting (as in not so salty, etc.), laden with fresh vegetables, & delicately spiced. Yum!
