Looking for a quick and casual meal we found this place on Google. The space is very unassuming…read moreand is actually located next to the main restaurant Bati Bassac (closed Sunday and Monday's). You walk through the patio to the space that is the kitchen with a large counter for takeout orders. Because we were planning to eat in (at the patio) we would have table service. Space is very pretty with picnic and patio tables with patio lights hung above. The food is Thai/Cambodian and runs from appetizers to mains to dessert. The patio is licensed so you can order a glass of wine or a beer. Flavours and portions were okay. Dishes can be shareable but are not huge. Patio has heat lamps so you can actually sit well into the late fall. We were told that once the Quebec winter hits the patio is closed and they are only open for takeout but there are a couple of small tables inside to eat in. Service was really good. It was the great casual meal we were looking for.

Mainly the only good Asian food in the area, a friend and I went early on a weekday (5PM) and the…read moreservice was extremely fast. Almost too fast, we didn't have time to breathe in between the services. The food was good and really affordable. I had a full meal (soup, eggrolls, meal, rice plate, dessert, coffee) for 24$. With my friend we split the appetizers and deserts and left with a bill for 2 under 50$ with taxes. It is also bring your own alcohol which is always nice! But you don't go to Lotus Select for the ambiance and area, it is pretty blend. There have old school plastic table-mat and the decor is outdated. It is a very quiet and calm restaurant, the crowd there was pretty old. Also, make sure to make a reservation before going, it is a small place and usually is always full if you don't reserve, especially for a group. Fun fact: This used to be my favorite restaurant when I was a kid, before I explored the world and tasted more thai/viet food so it was a really nice experience to try it again!

I'm starting to notice, Pho joints in Quebec are not as good as Pho joints in Ontario. This is the…read more2nd time I went to a Vietnamese restaurant in Quebec. Their price is ridiculous for their 1 size only Pho and Hue. Back home in Ontario, you would be able to get a a XL pho for $15.50. The Pho here was so small, it barely had any noodles. Normally I never drink all the soup but this time I had to drink it all because I was still hungry. They really do it different here with their Pho. They put the bean sprouts directly in the soup for you before they bring it out to you. I don't like my bean sprout fully cook and soggy. Also where the is the lime? Did they squeeze the lime in it for me too? Where are the basils? Meatballs? The taste of the broth is subjective, these guys went with a flavourful herbal taste instead of the strong beef taste. The Bun Bo Hue's broth was ok. Once again it was very small just like the Pho. Missing a lot of key ingredient again. The atmosphear was good. They did their best with the limited amount of space they had. Service was prompt. This place could be a lot better because their broth taste good but way too many ingredients missing.

Given the rather steep prices ($20/ea) we probably should have eaten in to take advantage of that ambience and especially nice staff. There's no tofu in sight, in case you're wondering.

We were craving spice in Quebec City and set out looking for Asian food. That search led us to…read moreMadame Phan. Both of us--coming from different parts of Asia--were hopeful. The food? It was okay. It gave us the spice fix we needed, but it wasn't authentic. I wish I could rate it higher, but I feel a responsibility to be critical when it comes to Asian cuisine. Too often, Asian food is watered down for Western taste buds. It's a disservice to the cultures it represents. Quebec City already feels deeply European, and I would love to see more pride in showcasing Asian food as it really is. Here's the truth: authentic food usually outperforms the "tailored-to-locals" version. People rise to the occasion when they're given the real thing. Sadly, what I often see--here included--is the opposite. Local diners leave thinking they've "experienced Asian food" when, in fact, they haven't. The first red flag was in the description itself: "Asian." Asia is vast and diverse. Expecting one restaurant, or one chef, to represent it all is impossible. It's like walking into a place that claims to serve all European food under one roof. Unrealistic by definition. So, no, Madame Phan isn't authentic. But it did serve its purpose: it gave us something spicy when we needed it. I just wish more restaurants here leaned into authenticity rather than compromise. Because authentic Asian food deserves better than this.

Quebec City isn't exactly known for authentic or high-quality Asian cuisine, so it's best to keep your expectations in check. This place is about as close as you'll get. The pho wasn't authentic--the broth tasted more like beef bouillon, so I'd skip that. The Thai chicken had a good kick of spice, and the General Tao's was actually pretty solid. Overall, there aren't many Asian food options in the city, but this place gets the job done.
