I'm having a difficult time rating this place. On the one hand, the staff were nice, I liked the atmosphere, & the bowls were pretty. However, I was seeking a typical Vietnamese restaurant experience, which this place didn't deliver on: I ordered a pho, which btw costs $20 making it the most expensive pho I had anywhere. There were no garments like bean sprouts or basil. They did not have sauce - I had to ask for it. They brought such a small portion that I got through it in a couple of dips. The broth was alright, but I had better. They did not serve tea. I had to ask for water. There was a line up to get in, so there is something about the place. But for someone who frequents Vietnamese restaurants, I would not recommend if you're expecting a typical experience.

Limited menu but seemed to have the staple Vietnamese dishes. I tried the Pho which is not like a traditional pho noodle soup so it was a little disappointing. Flavors are different for beef pho & they used a different noodle as well. The vermicelli plate was on par. Sandwiches & other items seem to be more legit than the pho. Limited seating but it goes quicker than expected.

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.
