S10 has no depth of flavour and the noodles are overbearing.

The best Pho in Montreal. I could eat here every day. If you're hesitating, don't. Just go in and grab yourself a Pho.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet. Extremely generous portions and prices, and the jazz playing just brings a nice homey ambience to the establishment. BYOB if you feel like imbibing. The pho broth is incredible, savoury and light. It could use more salt imo but that's what the shakers at the table are for, so it's probably best they err on the side of caution for any low sodium folks out there.

Super delicious food. Their spring roll is big and packed. Their pho was very flavourful with lots of grilled chicken and veggies. We had lunch and the prices are very affordable. This is a hidden gem to which we will be returning. A new favorite!

The broth for the soup was delicious. The main dish of chicken and beef with vermicelli noodles and salad was ok. The salad came with pickles lol which goes to show the influence of the clientele perhaps. (Should definitely be mentioned in the menu for those who don't like pickles) Ordered the fried banana and that was not at all at all good. Just a simple mushy flour battered over ripe banana with, get this, FAKE MAPLE TABLE SYRUP. I was really looking forward to a nice banana not a nasty over ripe banana , in tempura batter with warm honey and sesame seeds. Crunchy has to be honey!!

Food. Seemed fresh. Cooked properly. Poorly seasoned - lacked flavour on every dish eater except the won ton soup. Service. Casual and young servers. Limited English and French. Knowledgeable on their product selection. Atmosphere. Casual cosy. Beautiful ambient music was the highlight of this restaurant. The music made this place feel relaxing and calming. Big credit to management to select this style of music. Seating is table and banquets and menus are plasticized table mats. I was eager to try this place as I’ve passed by here dozens of times at all hours and days and nights where they are typically busy. So I bright a group of foodies and some asians to delight in what I hoped would be authentic and a flavourful experience. First off, this is not a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. This is somewhat of a fusion as well as (the waiter called it) a North American reinterpretation of Vietnamese cuisine. The pricing is reasonable as well as the portions for the most part, with the exception of small appetizer wonton soup at $7.00. Overall the food was exceptionally bland. When I say exceptionally and bland, I am not overstating this I am actually trying to heavily emphasize these this point as it was a serious bone of contention. The food is cooked without any passion, it’s all mechanical like a processing line and when I peaked in the kitchen to observe how they function it too looked as if it was just a processing of dished being pushed out. Basic cooking 101 is the chef must taste the food before serving to a customer. I can’t imagine a Vietnamese person enjoying the food let alone recognize that this was a Vietnamese recipe as there was essentially no flavour - and don’t get me started on the lack of an appetizing aroma. This was only a meal for two senses - your eyes and texture. In addition to this point, the chicken with the noodles dish lacked sufficient sauce to blend the fried noodles and as such had to order additional sauce to moderately cover the noodles to soften then to an eatable status. Moreover, the portion of chicken was beyond small, when compared to the grilled chicken dish it was less than a third of the portion of chicken. It was also poorly cooked or the chicken was off because its texture was a bit stringy and a bit rubbery. I sadly have to declare that this is not a proper Vietnamese restaurant as it’s (lack of) seasoning and reinterpretation of dishes as well as adding dishes that are not Vietnamese (pad Thai as one example, wonton soup as another) do not fit the bill. Even in terms of the wonton soup, it’s seasoning (the only dish that had some flavour), was nothing like a wonton nor were the wontons and as such, should not be named wonton soup. It was a bit of a letdown as I was expecting wonton soup. One can state that their dishes and recipes are reinvented or jacked up - sure, but if you’re not communicating this on the menu and instead offering a dish with a recognized name and therefore taste profile, then a customer can be misguided and thus let down as I was. So, I will not return nor recommend this place as I don’t see its value proposition, its food satisfying, its expertise worth while having again. There are too many competitors on and off the island of Montreal and I would prefer to risk trying a new place and hope to find a goodie than come back again and be let down terribly. The thought of even eating the food again makes me somewhat nausea. I do not see how the rating of this place is above a 4 star as it does not posses the qualities of 4 star restaurants and struggles to achieve a 3 star rating. I get this place is trying to make its mark in a somewhat unique manner, but idea and execution are two different things. As to explaining why this place seems so busy I expect it has to do with its location and lack of competition nearby. And the other likely due to people not knowing the food or having low expectations. I humbly suggest.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. As the owner of a family-run restaurant, I read every review carefully and appreciate the effort behind detailed feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and music — that’s something our family has put a lot of care into creating. I would like to respectfully clarify a few important points. Our food is not positioned as fusion. I was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, where influences from neighboring cultures such as Chinese and Thai cuisine are naturally part of everyday life. Areas like District 5 (Chinatown) reflect that long-standing presence. What we serve comes from that lived experience, not from reinterpretation. Regarding menu items such as pad thai and wonton soup, these are commonly found in many Vietnamese restaurants here. In the same way dishes like General Tao chicken appear on a wide range of menus across different restaurants. This reflects the broader dining culture and expectations in the local market. On flavor, Vietnamese cuisine varies greatly depending on region and family tradition. In our kitchen, we lean toward balance and subtlety. That said, your comments about seasoning, sauce balance, and portioning — particularly the chicken noodle dish — are taken seriously and will be reviewed with our team. I would also like to clarify that our wonton soup is priced at $5, not $7 as mentioned. We were also a bit surprised by the assumption that Vietnamese guests would not recognize or enjoy our food. A large portion of our clientele includes Vietnamese and Asian guests, including our own family who regularly eat the same dishes we serve. We understand that preferences can differ, but this has not been our experience. I also want to address the suggestion that our kitchen operates without care or passion. As a family business, every dish that leaves our kitchen reflects our name and our standards. We do taste and check our food throughout service, and we stand behind the effort and pride our team puts in every day. I understand that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially given how much you were looking forward to visiting. While we may not be the right fit for everyone, we remain committed to serving food that reflects our background, our culture, and our values. Thank you again for your feedback.
