It's like a more 'filing' izakaya place buried in 'never-too-much' thai basil & lemon grass! :) And finally a Vietnamese cuisine in Montreal that's not screaming phooooooo! Innovative papaya salad presentation does not shine away from its authentic taste- same thing for the satay skewers and ribs. The crepes are something i've never seen before and i really like it ($12 only and you're already half-full)! The cocktail is a bit more pricy but really good, too. The only downside is how cold it is near the entrance, but i feel the owner has already tried its best by installing heavy-duty curtains and extra heating fans. The service was also surprisingly fast & attentive for a hipster-vibe montreal hangout (for a tuesday night though, see other reviews for the weekends).
