i liked it! space was beautiful, i'm excited to see it when they open the windows in the summer. service was great and really friendly:) the food was good but not exceptional, and the pictures on the menu didn't all accurately reflect the appearance of the dishes as they were served, for instance the vermicelli bowl was advertised as having spring rolls in it but only had skewers and salad when it arrived to the table. the fish cake skewer was fantastic and so fresh, and my friend's pad thai was very nice, i really enjoyed the lemongrass and the generous amount of crushed peanuts. all three dishes were a little bit sweet to my liking, but i enjoyed them overall. i have a feeling this is a better place for omnivores than vegetarians and pescetarians, the grilled meats seem to be a menu highlight! i'm not sure i would actively seek it out again, but it's a good place for a quick and fairly affordable meal!

Excellent !!!
I recently tried this spot with a friend after wanting to check it out for a while, and I’m really glad we ended up going. I’ll be honest, the service was quite slow at the start. We went on a Monday and the place was absolutely slammed, and it looked like there was only one server working. It took about 40 minutes for us to have our order taken. We did get water fairly quickly, but there was definitely a wait. That said, it felt more like a staffing issue than anything else, and the waiter was still kind and doing their best the whole time. We almost left, but decided to stay since we really wanted to try the food, and I’m very happy we did. Once we ordered, everything came out pretty fast, and the food completely made up for the wait. I got a Vietnamese iced coffee, which is always a go to for me, and it was absolutely delicious. My friend tried one of their signature cocktails with a hint of Tabasco and coriander, and it was super unique and surprisingly really good. For food, we shared shrimp spring rolls that were beautifully presented and easy to split. The clams in lemongrass sauce were honestly incredible, I would love to know how they make that sauce. We also had marinated beef skewers that were cooked perfectly. For my main, I got the pork chop with rice and it was amazing, super flavorful and cooked just right. My friend had the chicken vermicelli bowl and loved it just as much. We both finished everything. I also really appreciated how clearly the menu labels gluten free options, allergens, spice levels, and dietary preferences. As someone with celiac disease, that made me feel a lot safer eating there, and I had no issues after. It’s maybe slightly on the pricier side, but the portions are generous and the quality is there. I’ll definitely be back.
My review is from having made an online order for the first time not by eating in. I made an order at this restaurant from a previous La Presse review. The web site order stayed 10-20min delivery time. My order came to my order one hour long!! Food was good. Morale of the story…go eat at the restaurant and totally avoid making an online order.
love
