Gao is simply amazing. The ambiance is cosy. The food is incredibly flavourful. (We got the spring rolls & the lemongrass pork chops. So, so good.) & the service is lovely. Ash & Christopher are so friendly, & we chatted with the chef as well. I'm tempted to return to QC JUST to eat here again. Highly recommend.
Lovely servers but unfortunately food isn't up to Vietnamese standards. Maybe suitable for the local or westerners, but not suitable for the Asian taste buds, especially for the Vietnamese. We tried Ph? Special, Bò Kho with bread, & C?m S??n. Ph? meat is low quality, the broth is okay. Bò Kho doesn't taste right & using the cheap part of the beef, tough, the bread isn't French quality. C?m s??n pork chop is tough & dry. Once again, nice people but unfortunately food isn't there yet.
Very delicious beef pho & the lemongrass pork is insanely good, would definitely recommend.
The staff is very nice & helpful, & they are very friendly to tourists/english-speaking people!
The interior is very clean & aesthetic

Service & food were amazing! Lemongrass pork chops & bún ch? giò with rice are a must-try! We will definitely recommend this place to friends visiting Quebec!
The atmosphère is really warm. The staff are very polite. The service is really quick. We got the pork imperial rolls, pork dumplings, chicken pho & the pork/shrimp rice/vermicelli (we asked for chicken to replace shrimp). Everything was really tasty & fulfilling in terms of portion size. It was a lovely little trip on a holiday.
We ordered Mi Quang , Pho, & Grilled Pork with rice & it was the most delicious meal I had in days. The food was properly marinade & cooked. The service was friendly. We loved the relaxing atmosphere here. Great restaurant
The best Vietnamese restaurant in town, we went there two times during our visit in Quebec. Their pork dumplings, pho, Mi quang, Mi Xa siu, meat dish are all pretty good. Highly recommended to all & family friendly too.
My wife & I went here to dine in for lunch on Tuesday (Dec 23). We ordered one chicken, one beef Pho, one Hue style Calamari stuffed with pork & 2 Vietnamese coffees. The staff serving my table just told me that the dish has been taken off the menu & they're no longer serving that, but still it's in the menu for some reason, so I ordered the Lemongrass Pork chops instead. The Pho & coffee were good, however the Pork chop with rice was a big disappointment. The meat was not thoroughly cooked & being raw in the middle. When I told the staff, he checked with the kitchen & told me that it's because they have a new chef. The restaurant offered to make me a new dish but I had lost appetite by that time since I was eating raw pork. It ruined the whole meal, which was unfortunate because the other dishes were ok. I hope they learn from this so other customers won't get food poisoning from eating here.
