| - Saw a review for one of the best salad rolls in Montreal. As a sucker for Vietnamese food, I had to come try it.
Instead of ordering salad rolls, I ordered a papaya salad, chef wings, and the grilled beef dish - and yes, this is all for myself. Papaya salad was blend, lacked acidity from limes, and the unique flavors of fish sauce. Despite asking for extra spicy for the wings, they were barely any heat. I might have a high spice tolerant, but I know what's spicy for a normal person. The only thing I enjoyed was the beef. The broccoli was lightly battered, beef was medium rare (though the cut wasn't the best), and the additional fish sauce with peanuts that added a punch to both the beef and vegetables. I wish they could have had that sauce for the papaya salad.
The restaurant is hipster, with communal tables inside and a patio outside. I hated parking around the area because it's all permit only, except for meters along the front streets, which were fully occupied during dinner time.
