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 usually like to give extra credit to a family run place, but the food here was underwhelming. The spring rolls & the tofu was tough in the outside rather than soft & crispy & the noodles where too soft.
The salad & beef were ok.
Our order got also mixed up.
The menu selection is quite limited.

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.

It is a lovely quiet restaurant right in the middle of old Quebec. We were greeted with a pot of green tea & room temperature water (a real luxury in Quebec where all you get everywhere is freezing cold with ice cubes floating sometimes, which I totally cannot drink no matter how thirsty I am). We ordered spring rolls, banh mi & the vermicelli with meat dish. Each one was awesome. The portion size was good. The two of us were really full at the end of the meal. The proprietor lady os always smiling, an added bonus. Oh, you should try the pineapple coconut milk! We had lunch here on a special Saturday. It was amazing 😍.
