| - I had really high expectation after looking through Instagram and Yelp about the restaurant. To be honest, I was debating between giving a 3 or a 4 stars because their food didn't "wow" me. I decided to give a 3.5/5.
I think it is a pleasant place to have a meal. It is situated in front of a park and they have a patio where you can enjoy the summer breeze. I highly recommend the patio seats as it seems brighter than the interior seats (I didn't go in but it seemed quite dark inside). I also noticed people prefer the patio seats, so if you can, try to get there early. We got there at 6pm and the patio was almost filled up even if it was a Wednesday night.
The service was friendly and fast. In fact, a waiter came to fill up our cups even when the water bottle was on our table already. However, our waitress didn't told us what was the dishes of the day. We had to listen to another waitress telling it to another table in order to figure out what they were.
The menu is quite simple. They have soups, buns, appetizers, hot dishes and desserts. I wouldn't say they have a large selection of items (if I compare it to other Asian/Vietnamese restaurant). But there is plenty of dishes to pick from. I had a hard time picking what I wanted to eat! They also have a cocktail menu!
I settled down for their pad thai, as I'm a big pad thai lover. I noticed the little spicy icon next to "pad thai" so I asked our waitress if it was possible to make it not spicy. But she said they can make it less spicy, which I was fine with. My friend went with their laksa soup, which also had the spicy icon (but she can eat spicy, so it didn't bother her).
We didn't wait too long before having our dishes. My pad thai came with 4 big crispy shrimps. I don't think I've ever had pad thai with crispy shrimps elsewhere, so I was really excited to try it! There were also pork cutes inside my dish. I'm really glad I went with a less spicy pad thai because the more I ate it, the spicier it became. Their pad thai was more on the sour-side. It was an okay/decent dish but quite pricey I find ($18 before tax and tips). I had a sip of my friend's laksa soup and it wasn't spicy at all. She had to add a lot of Sriracha sauce in her bowl to make it spicy. We both agreed the soup was a bit bland and somehow it tasted a bit like pho broth to me.
Before we left the restaurant, the table next to us' order just arrived. Their beef pho smelled SO good! Next time I go, I would probably try it (although it is more expensive -$14- than the other pho restaurants in Montreal). Their buns, coconut salmon, BBQ ribs and grilled beef also looked delicious from the pictures on Instagram and Yelp.
