The broth in the soup was sooo good! The server was attentive until we were most of the way through the meal. We got our box and paid at the counter. If you come know you may have to ask the counter, take out service, for what you need at the end. No biggie! They've got a very well maintained pothos that was enjoyable to look at. Clean bright seating area. Would come back.

I paid $48.90 I am a regular at this place and I couldn't have been more disappointed unfortunately!! My advice is NEVER order take out from here go into the actual store. SMH

dropped by little minh's for lunch with a friend, and at 12:30 pm on a weekday there were still…read moreplenty of tables available. no waiting for a seat, no feeling rushed, just a relaxed dining room where it was easy to settle in and enjoy a leisurely lunch together. the space feels bright, clean, and welcoming, with bold red accent walls, warm wood finishes, modern pendant lighting, and an open kitchen that adds a bit of energy without making the room feel noisy. tables are comfortably spaced apart, making conversation easy, while the mix of regulars, office workers, and friends catching up gives the restaurant a comfortable neighbourhood feel. the service matched the atmosphere: friendly, efficient, and attentive without hovering. our drinks arrived quickly, followed not long after by our meals. to start, i ordered a vietnamese iced coffee. rich, bold, and sweetened with condensed milk, it delivered that familiar creamy kick that's always hard to resist and paired well with the fresh flavours of lunch. i decided on the sauté shrimp vermicelli bowl, featuring peeled (but not deveined) shrimp sautéed with garlic, fish sauce, and red chilies, served over vermicelli noodles with an assortment of fresh vegetables. the bowl arrived looking as fresh as it tasted, colourful ribbons of shredded lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, fragrant herbs, and a generous portion of shrimp over the noodles. the shrimp were tender and nicely seasoned, with the garlic and fish sauce adding plenty of savoury flavour, while the red chilies provided just enough warmth without overpowering the dish. once everything was tossed together, each bite offered a little bit of everything, crisp vegetables, tender shrimp, fresh herbs, and soft vermicelli noodles. it was colourful, healthy, and deeply satisfying while still feeling light enough for lunch. my friend ordered her usual, the grilled chicken salad, and after seeing it arrive, it wasn't hard to understand why she keeps coming back. generous slices of grilled chicken were layered over green and purple cabbage, cucumber, pickled carrots, daikon, fresh herbs, and finished with crispy fried shallots. it looked every bit as fresh and substantial as my bowl, with plenty of texture and colour. little minh's doesn't try to reinvent vietnamese food or chase trends. instead, it focuses on what matters: fresh ingredients, balanced flavours, generous portions, and friendly service. sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for, a comfortable neighbourhood restaurant where the food is consistently good, conversation comes easily, and you leave feeling satisfied rather than weighed down. we were thirsty afterwards though.

I came here to try their lasagna but wrong day for that, they are serving something else on this day, unfortunately that special of the day is only up to 2;30 and I came almost 3 pm. Aside from lasagna I came for the famous milkshake. I ordered ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce sandwich plus the soup of the day bacon chowder, I wanted to try the tuna salad but again its done so the server ended up giving a quinoa salad for free. Busy place considering its covid-19 era so only 4 person inside the store at a time. Few seating inside, the café is very relaxing and for some reason I felt peace and very calm. The only noise you can hear inside were the sounds of returned bottle glasses for milk while people putting them on cases.... Interesting displays and interior designs, since its family owned I can tell that most of the displays in here were things they had when they were kids, nice stuffs very interesting .Those memorabilias made me smile, that feeling a heart truly appreciated. The sandwhich I had was okay,the soup was very good as well, hot and creamy, the quinoa salad is just okay for me its just ordinadry but not bad. Heres come something funny, I placed an order and clearly I wanted a strawberry milkshake, but what was serve was plain milkshake, I believed this was an honest mistake so I did not say anything, it was good though but maybe I ill be best if its strawberry. Wifi is free as well as parking and lots of them no worries. Service is warm and very friendly...kudos guys.... Not bad for group,family and kids. B careful if you are using a GPS coming here, wrong street and turn ....I don't know why?....... I will still come back here and bring some friends.. hope this time I will get the right milkshake.

The elderly couple was a bit abrasive and rough around the edges back then, but more so now. The behavior and mannerisms of this couple combined is very comparable to Seinfeld's 'Soup Nazi'. I politely asked the old woman (others refer to her as toothless) if I may take a picture of the menu and she practically had a heart attack. She screamed - "If you take a picture, I will kick you out of this place!". The old man also had a sarcastic tone in his voice when I asked about mayo in the chicken salad sandwich. The mushroom soup was pretty good and the chicken salad filling was OK. The house baked bread was the only thing that really made this whole experience bearable. It appears as though that these two seniors are set in their miserable, toxic and irritating ways and are too proud to make a change for the better.

Each bowl comes with 3 additional side dishes and they were a great addition to have. We also ordered a Mango Milk Tea ($5.49) and a Jasmine Green Tea ($4.99) with our preference of sugar and ice levels. Both were very refreshing and tasty. It was the perfect pairing with our meal!

They don't take reservations but there's a QR code by the front entrance to register for the waiting list and the list shows on a TV screen. Arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday and the place was packed. For a table for 2, we ended up waiting approximately 15 minutes for a table and also saw several pick up orders. Menu is not extensive and as it was both our visits, we decided to order the Kkanpunggi Combo for $56 that includes Black Bean Noodle, Chili Seafood Noodle, and Spicy Sweet and Sour Deep Fried Chicken. The chicken arrived first and it was an enormous portion! Chicken was fresh, lightly battered, had good flavour that wasn't overly coated in sauce, and was served with nice tasty taro chips. Black bean noodles was also a good sized and delicious. The chili seafood noodles was also a very generous portion - we ordered it medium spicy but I personally thought it was mild though flavourful. Service was a bit slow, even though we pressed the button a few times. However, tasty food with big portions and reasonable prices is hard to beat these days! $56 for 3 dishes and more than enough leftovers, would definitely return and recommend.

There are a good variety of pork dishes but I ordered a steak. It was bacon wrapped and within the steak was oozing cheese. The steak was seasoned perfectly.

It also came with a basket of fried potatoes and a side of cucumbers and tomatoes dipped slightly in vinegar and salt. The service was attentive and on point giving recommendations based on my taste pallette. The dining area was small, maybe enough for a total of 30 people dining max at one time. The ambiance was very quiet, enough to talk and converse without having to raise your voice. Lots of wall art depicting either famous people or places from Serbia. I noticed several Nikola Tesla pictures. A destination to totally visit and wisk you away to the food joys of Serbia.

This is my first time trying Haidilao, I was so impressed with the service. Food was fresh, we opted for unlimited meat, we had beef & lamb slices. There is an extra charge of the sauce bar, about $3 plus dollars. That includes dessert & their yummy congee as part of the sauce bar. There's even a show presentation on a popular Chinese mythology figure, The Monkey God. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. Service is prompt & good, our server Elvis was attentive & most helpful. Trying to reorder meat on their iPad was a bit challenging, there's too many options. We had Elvis helping us with the reordering. You are offered ice cream at the end of your meal too.

The staff checks in on you and just basically gives you what you need, before you even ask for it.

Wait may be a bit long if you don't have a reservation (we made a reservation but came 30 minutes early and wanted to get in earlier), but they offer free snacks and drinks at the waiting area.
