Restaurant Saigon Vip - W MONTREAL

Saigon VIP is a pretty standard Vietnamese restaurant on StCatherine O near Guy-Concordia metro.

My friend and I decided to eat here after we were having trouble finding somewhere that had any room available.

Their pho tastes weird_Their waitress suggested some kind of soup with curry and coconut milk in it, and my friend got to try it.

Very fast and friendly service, but sad huge portions of bland food. singapur noodles were not sharp. we had to add hoisin, sriracha and sharp chili oil to make the taste better. the ‘appearant’ crepe was ginorm. like the plate taken over. was okay, but the sauce was pretty good. the pho was quite bland in taste. no complexity in the broth. the ingredients were nice. early roll were hot and crispy. the mango and sticky rice was different than I had more of a savory rice dish than dessert sweet dish. as I mentioned, at least the service was great

I'm in the regular suspicious of restaurants that say they're a thing, but everything is. as Pho place they make every dish from every corner of the Asian country they can think of. that is not a Vietnamese place. but I hunted pho, it snowed hard, and so I went. despite its cheap and not cheerful mood at the place, I was surprised how delicious / authentic my pho was. I ordered the middle rare bark. I recommend this for an as-and-run-arta situation. my very unauthentic Chinese lucky cookie was nice touch.
