  • "Vua" is the Vietnamese word for king, and this restaurant lives up to that name. I grew up in Toronto, now live in the US East Coast, even ate banh mi in Vietnam - and Vua ranks very close to the top banh mi I've ever had (so take my review seriously because I'm not some clueless American tourist who is new to banh mi). Service: very friendly and the Vietnamese staff not only speak Vietnamese, they can take your order in French and English. One day I came in right at opening time and was told by the cashier that sandwiches weren't yet available, but when she saw our disappointment she went back and called the kitchen staff to have them make us sandwiches. What sweethearts! There are a few tables inside near the door, a very small terrasse with some more tables, and a shared indoor dining space with Thai Express (but is located one floor above Thai Express, or two floors above Vua). General comment: the sandwiches are loaded with liver pate and housemade soy sauce which is how it's supposed to be done in Vietnam. This ain't your typical lazy banh mi shop in North America that uses bottled soy sauce and acts stingy on pate content. This means your sandwich will drip an oozy mixture of mayo and soy sauce so watch your clothing, but don't despair - only the most legit banh mi will drip in this manner. Also the bread gets toasted before all the other ingredients go in, and ends up with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. #1 Dac Biet sandwich: Loaded with Vietnamese deli meats, some pate, and priced 50c less than every other sandwich. Amazing value and beautifully balanced flavor with the pickled vegetables. #12 Liver Pate sandwich: No deli meats here, just a massive gob of pate along with the pickled vegetables. It looks frightening to see how much pate they use, and I was so unbelievably excited when I saw them pack in this amount of flavor. Side note, after 9pm the prepared foods (usually between $7-8) are an additional 30% off - this includes delicious plates of fried rice, steamed rice with grilled meat, and/or stir fried noodles. They just need to be reheated. Overall, absolutely solid and authentic banh mi shop in a cute and conveniently located neighborhood, I'm sure to return next time I'm in MTL. Last comment (I promise): $5 credit card minimum.
