It looked cool, so I told my parents we'll go on our way back home to Toronto from Quebec City. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, and I'll admit the waiting area isn't the best. When we finally got our table, it was tucked in the corner of the restaurant by the windows. Thankfully it was insulated well despite a cold night. The food concept is pretty unique here, as Southeast Asian cuisine isn't too common overall. We decided to share a bunch of dishes to increase the variety of foods. Pork Belly Steamed Buns - Excellent Laksa Soup with Chicken - Excellent, and I like how they separated the satay on a spoon. Satay Babi - This was an item from their special menu, which is basically satay pork skewers. It was also very good. Fried chicken - Nothing special, could probably skip this. Char kway teow - Very uniquely done. I wasn't expecting clams on it, and it was an excellent addition. Service was also amazing. There are some other dishes that I wasn't able to try, and I would say the uniqueness of this place will entice me to return here.

This was our first dinner in Montreal, and when we showed up there were already quite a few people…read morewaiting outside. The place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, with dark lighting, red lanterns, and neon signs giving it a cool vibe. We spoke with (maybe) the owner's son and got seated at the bar after about 10-15 minutes. The bartender was friendly, even though he was nonstop making cocktails and juggling a packed bar. We ordered two of my favorites: laksa and char kway teow. Having lived in Singapore for a couple of years, I was excited to try them. The food came out quickly--less than 10 minutes. The laksa was flavorful with a nice hot broth, but the portion was really small for the price. Wish there was more noodles! The char kway teow was even more surprising: very small portion, and it came with two clams, which I've never seen in all my time in Malaysia or Singapore. At $20, it just didn't feel worth it. Overall, the vibe is fun and the atmosphere is great, but the portion sizes are way too small for what you pay. I'd say they need to be at least 30% bigger to match the price point. For that reason, I wouldn't go back, but I can see why people come here more for the drinks and ambiance. My husband had to get a kebab afterwards as he was still hungry. Apparently this area is quite popular with loads of bars and restaurants.

You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

There is not a ton of seating in the restaurant. It is small and the tables are quite close together. We were a little disappointed that they ran out of salmon so we couldn't order any salmon sashimi dishes. We got skewers which were absolutely delicious! We also ordered takoyaki and okonomiyaki but there was nothing special about those. Wouldn't really recommend the okonomiyaki either. Would definitely recommend trying the Shrimp Burger and the Salmon Calcium (salmon pate).

We ordered the vegetarian maki rolls which were quite fresh and tasty, and the vegetarian ramen which... honestly wasn't good. The broth was alright, pretty flavourful. The noodles seemed packaged. The real issue was the heaps of frozen vegetables on top - carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and corn. Definitely, obviously from a standard frozen bag. Watery and just out of place in a ramen. Additionally, I have to say the bathroom wasn't clean. There was pink mold around the taps and paper on the floor. I wish this family everything good, and I know they are working super hard running two restaurants, I hesitate to post anything negative but really hope the feedback can be useful and help them succeed bigger and better.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Little cafe in Place Ville Marie…read moreselling breakfast items, sandwiches, coffee, tea and a few Asian food offerings. Had the chicken banh mi and it was great. The Long Version: I love eateries that cater to locals and Cafe Mix A Bol is one of them. They are open Monday to Friday 7am-2pm only. Their clientele is mostly office workers nearby or people taking the commuter trains out of Central Station. I've walked by Cafe Mix A Bol many times to and from the VIA Rail train station, but it's always been closed because these days when I'm in Montreal it's mostly on the weekends. I might arrive on a Friday, but I would have just had breakfast or lunch on the train, so their limited hours never worked out for me. However, recently, my husband and I decided to do a weekday trip to Montreal. He agreed to indulge in my desire to hit food spots that are only open on weekdays, lol. So we stopped by to share a grilled chicken banh mi ($9.25) and he also got a coffee ($3). The banh mi was a good size for sharing and they even cut it in half for us. It had grilled chicken, pickled carrots, daikon, cilantro and mayo. The mayo was a bit more than my preference, but I prefer my sandwiches not too saucy. Other than that, the banh mi was delicious. It was nicely grilled and the bread was crispy on the outside. I did notice that the carrots and daikon were sliced into rounds instead of the usual strips. It did not affect the taste, but it's something I noticed because it was different, lol ;) Staff were pleasant. There's a small seating area inside the cafe. They sell Vietnamese summer rolls/salad rolls as well (Goi Cuon) as banh mi. They have Korean bibimbap too. And they have North American sandwiches like tuna and chicken salad. They have baked goods and really huge cookies. They do catering as well. So glad I finally got to try them. My husband doesn't get my obsession with places like this, haha, and I can't really explain it either, but a food business that is small and independently owned that can open bankers hours and survive must be good, right? And the owners are usually really pleasant because they likely have good work-life balance :) Review #151 (2025)
