This restaurant specializes in banh-mi and is delicious every time. I also appreciate how fast the service is! There are also sushi, chips, bubble tea and etc. That night my rideshare dropped me off close by; therefore, I could not say no to not going. This time I got the Nem Nuong but the Cha Lua and pate banh-mi is great as well. I find it a bit more "authentic". After 9pm, all the food in containers are 30% off. I forgot about that-got their at 9:03pm and a swarm of people rushed in. I am removing one star because I was charged for a 10 inch banh-mi but the lady used the 7 inch. Also, they are only $7.75!!! read more

Vua - Banh mi Nem Nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My friend and I are from the SF Bay Area and found ourselves stuck in Montreal under unusual circumstances. We had been looking around for some food in the area, and my friend found this little banh mi shop. What a great find! The sandwiches had 7-inch and 10-inch options; we each went with the 10-inch and finished them quickly. My friend also got a spring roll and she said it was the largest spring roll she had ever seen. Service is fast and friendly, and the sandwiches are priced well (compared to banh mi's we get in San Francisco). I ordered the grilled pork sandwich (#5) and my friend ordered the #1 sandwich. I felt my sandwich could have used more meat inside, but the bread was delicious and the fillings paired well. The shop is quite small inside and seating is limited. They also heat your sandwich up so the bread has a nice crisp to it. Friend's Review: "Once you get to the middle, the ratio of bread to meat to veggies is good. The bread was super warm which made it enjoyable to eat." read more

If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Vietnamese to-go shop, Vua is the place to visit! Vua's staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their selection of Vietnamese dishes is amazing. Although they couldn't understand my order, I got it through with patience and understanding. It's important to stay humble and support immigrant-owned restaurants! Banh mi sandwiches are a must-have, as they come with a variety of meats like pork, beef, and chicken, and the flavors are incredible. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are reasonable, so you'll get your money's worth. It was fresh, despite being 4 PM when I ordered. Vua also offers a wide selection of other Vietnamese dishes like che desserts, biscuits, and Vietnamese coffee. All dishes are made with fresh and flavorful ingredients that make them irresistible. I ordered the Cà Phê Sữa Đá as a pick me pick-me-up. It was sweet, so I recommend asking them to lighten on the condensed milk if you really want to taste the coffee flavor. If you're looking for a satisfying and delicious meal in a comfortable atmosphere, Vua is the place to visit. With their friendly staff and a wide selection of affordable and tasty Vietnamese banh mi, you'll have a wonderful and quick meal! read more

Vua - Cà Phê Sữa Đá - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A very satisfying meal (or two... We ordered way too much - a little goes a long way) in the form of delectable, full-to-the-brim sandwiches we could barely finish and fresh sushi and dumplings all prepared to go.  Foodies beware : We were confronted about taking pictures in here by a very upset and suspicious staff member who did not care for our food blog.  Nevertheless, that does not alter the quality and preperation of the food or our enjoyment of it. read more

A hidden gem in Montreal! This banh mi (Vietnamese baguette) shop is sandwiched between a strip of local food places and can be easily missed as it's located down a set of stairs. We came here to stop for a quick banh mi break and here's my rundown: Food - -Saigon Banh Mi - This is available in 7 inches and 10 inches but to be honest, it's a much better deal to get it with 10 inches. This included ham, Vietnamese sausage (cha lua) and pate on top of pickled radish and daikon, marinated carrots, coriander, and various sauces. This Banh Mi was SO good and had so much flavour! All of the condiments went so well with each other and there's also so many different meats you can get. It's so great for those grab and go type of people. Atmosphere - It's located on the lower level of a building so you have to go down a set of stairs to access it. There's some places to sit down but this place is suitable for those who are wanting some quick takeout food. Service - Service here was very good. The employees here give such great hospitality and are very communicative. Perhaps I am a little biased since they were Vietnamese and recognized that I was Vietnamese but I did observe the employees' interactions with other customers and overall, they seemed very welcoming! Price - For a 10 inch banh mi, it was just under $5 which is a great bargain for what you're getting. This is definitely food on a budget except you're still getting quality food with the banh mi. Verdict - Highly recommend this place for some quick eats! They have lots of drink options to quench your thirst and the service here is great and efficient. They also have some asian cooking products / snacks for you to purchase on the side too. It may be a little hard to find but once you check this place out, you will for sure be returning for the food and people. read more

I DO NOT recommend anyone here, especially tourists. They might as well put up a big fat sign outside that says ENGLISH SPEAKERS ARE NOT WELCOMED. This was my first stop after leaving the airport. I went up to the counter with a cheer and a simple but friendly bonjour to the older cashier. I received a blank stare back and am immediately treated terribly as soon as she heard me speak English. Yelling at me when I didn't understand her thick Vietnamese/French accent in this noise filled restaurant, shaking her head in disgust, shoving the menu in my face in a rage, slamming my credit card and pen on the counter with purposeful force, letting the unsanitary credit card machine drop on top of my food, and not providing me with napkins while she did for other customers. She has no business working in service with this poor attitude. And this is coming from someone who lives in New York City. I'm used to subpar service but she is on another level. read more

Absolutely delicious Banh mis that are well priced! They have lots of other small convenience store snacks. They're in the basement so don't miss the entrance! read more

Vua - Bang mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The BEST damn Bahn Mi I've EVER had. Un-freaking-believable. I am smacking myself I couldn't bring home a ginormous cooler full of these Vietnamese sub-like sandwiches and freeze them: One for each day. For the rest of my life. If there's extra room, I'd bring home double the amount. For breakfast. This quite possibly is what I'd ask for for my last meal on earth. At least an extremely close second. Got their small Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi. Extra protein ($1 extra) and avocado ($1 extra). Excellent sandwich. Seriously! The sauce they use, well I forgot to ask the kitchen staff, but it was to die for. I'm having trouble describing it, so just go check it out yourself. A few seats on their outside patio. Wonderful for people watching - man, do Montrealers love their outdoor spaces! Not very big on the inside, but their's more seating in the fast-casual joint right above them. If I could do a UYE for my Columbus peeps here, good gosh I'd do it in a heartbeat. ROAD TRIP!! read more

Find my review here about the Montreal Sushi joint where the kid sneezed into his hand and continued to prepare my take-out. I tossed the whole bag into the garbage and came into this place, wot I should have tried first. The only thing that was weird, was the checkout line moved WAY fast-lots of people in this place. And no English! A little intimidating, especially as when I checked out, the Credit Card machine decided it was time to piss off. Got the stink-eye from a lot of folks in line, but I made it. Wish there was a place like this close by in the States. I had: Montreal roll sushi, a pair of Vietnamese cold spring rolls with peanut sauce, and a brownie. All fabulous! And pretty cheap to boot! read more

Best in Montreal if you want to splurge responsibly on these types of sandwiches. Vinh's is the cheaper close second. Wouldn't recommend Vua for any other food/drink items. Their speciality is the BBQ pork or maybe the tofu. read more

Lovely Banh mi place. A very good choice for inexpensive meals. I always go for the sandwich, grilled chicken, and with some colorful dessert from fridge. There is hearty spicy instant noodle from Korea. You can add hot water there. I also like the banana ice bar with crunchy peanut. You can go the upstairs if it is full downstairs. read more

A top choice for yummy food, good prices and super efficient service. If you go after 9pm you get a 30% discount on most of their food. Good for packed lunches the next day. read more

They have nice variety of sandwiches which are quite cheap starting at 2.95$ They also have bubble tea, and ice coffee, and pre-made meals including sushi. If you buy a pre-made meal you get a free spring roll!!! I work close by and sometimes when i don't bring my lunch, this is a good option for cheap lunch. They also have vegetarian sandwich and spring rolls for those who don't eat meat. We don't have a lot of vietnamese sandwich places in mtl, but this place is fun and has tons of choices... I like it a lot and I go often :) The place is small but it looks clean and presentable, and cheap too, it's cool. read more

I was originally going to give it 4 stars because the ambiance is nothing special and the food wasn't amazing, but for what it is, it IS amazing. For a quick, cheap (around $5) lunch this place is great. I don't think I'd take the time to go out of my way to come here, but if you're in the area and want something quick, fresh, and delicious at an amazing value, this is a great pick. I honestly can't believe the pricing is as low as it is for the quality. Then to top it all off, the staff is extremely friendly as well! read more

Holy scheisse, this place has high reviews. I pray none of them are for the Vietnamese sandwich, which was by far the worst banh mi I've ever tasted. An array of Vua's 10" Vietnamese sandwiches are $2.95 after 9pm. What a steal! They won't toast them, though, because apparently they turn off the ovens by then. The sandwich is already pre-assembled and bagged so you can be in and out in under a minute. We went with the classic. Unfortunately the sandwich was terrible - did they put onion gravy in it??? There was an excess of something cloyingly sweet and sticky that is completely foreign to all my banh mi endeavors. The pickled veggies inside were mushy and tasteless instead of providing crunch or tartness. The bread, of course, was spongy and cold but didn't seem like it'd hold up as toasted baguette either. If there was pate in it -sigh!- then it was swallowed up by the strange gooey sweetness. Quebec, of all places to ruin a pate! I had neither high nor low expectations for this place - just hungry! but the banh mi was just a huge disappointment on all fronts besides price. Come here if you just want to be full; 3 bucks for almost a foot of sandwich is a sweet deal. But if you actually know what banh mi tastes like, avoid avoid avoid Vua's offerings. read more

Very cute to go food, with great variety of authentic Vit food, including rice, dumplings and noodles in the fridge. There is a microwave for you to heat the food up. Also available are sushi, and great shrimp onigiri (Vit people do it right). good Vit banana coconut peanut ice cream - what a treat! Will be a regular stop now in Montreal! read more

This unassuming basement shop boasts an impressive selection of drinks, snacks, rice boxes, sushi, and desserts. There are a few small tables in the lower level shop, but if the cafe is full, there's seating outside and plentiful space upstairs. I ordered a veggie sandwich, taro bubble tea, and coconut tapioca cup. The sandwich was listed as 7" but looked a little on the small side. The tofu/carrot filling made for a satisfying vegetarian option. The bread was denser and less crisp than the french baguettes I've had at other banh mi shops. On the other hand, the chewier bread made the small sandwich more filling. Taro bubble tea had great flavor but the cup was stuffed to brim with ice cubes.. reminiscent of Starbuck's volume-filler trick. Minor complaints aside, Vua is exactly the kinda joint I'd like to make a daily stop in. The selection is wide and the service is fast. read more

Vua - 7" veggie tofu banh mi and a coconut tapioca cup - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Cute little vietnamese sandwich place on St Denis. I've been coming here once in awhile since the opening and have never been disappointed. Along with different variety of sandwiches, they also have sushis, vietnamese street food and finger food. I really like the option of the brown baguette and the choice of 7 or 10 inches baguettes. Made to order, you can also customize your baguette for a little surcharge. The portions are really big and generous! I usually share a 10-inches sandwich with my hubby. There is usually a little line up but the service is fast and efficient. The prices are very reasonable and i believe they also hand out fidelity card for the sandwiches! Give it a try. read more

Vua - Taste so good...i had to drive to this place! - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The size and value were good, flavor was ok. It should be a 4 stars review but I took 1 star off since my bread was kinda chewy, made me feel like the bread wasn't as fresh as it should have been for banh mi's place. read more

I'm seriously starting to love Vietnamese food. I've been craving a decent "Bahn mi" sandwich now for some now. I've bookmarked this place thanks to reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a shot yesterday. I was NOT disappointed! I went with the BBQ Pulled Pork and the Grilled Chicken. Both were good but the Pulled Pork was out of this world! And for what... $3 each? SAY WHAT?!? They have nice variety of sandwiches (at least 30!) as well as have bubble tea, iced coffee, and pre-made meals including sushi. If you buy a pre-made meal you get a free spring roll!!! SAY WHAT?!? The service is OK but ordering from a lady who can't understand English or French and needed repeated instructions was a bit of a put-off. So I made sure the Bahn mi was done according to my taste. The woman in front of me was irate since she screwed up her order. So beware of that. I'm definitely going to come back here. How can I say no to a $3 delicious sandwich? read more

Yummy! Variety, convenience and enterprising spirit, a rare combination for downtown Montreal imho. Enough said. Apparently I need to be a little more long winded to qualify as a yelp review. So here you go, more words: Sandwiches, sushi and Vietnamese dishes are made fresh. If it's more than 8 hrs old they give you a 30% discount, i.e. after 6pm-ish! You'd be hard pressed to find that kind of enterprising spirit in Montreal. Sandwiches are as good and almost as cheap as on Spedina in Toronto, or Bolsa in Westminster/Garden Grove. I've been going to their original location on St. Denis for 5 years and finally I can now go during work hours to this new downtown location. So looks like these guys will not be the typical fly by night deli that plagues la centreville. Bon courage mes amies! read more

I first discovered Vua when hunting for a catering for 100 person call center lunch. I was getting tired of greasy cardboard pizza and demanded for the lunch budget instead. I first tried Dagwood's with some success but when I ordered Vua grilled chicken sandwich. It was game over. Vua was an instant hit!! Agents raved about the sandwiches. That was back in 2010. I've been a faithful Vua-er ever since. There's been some changes the last several years but I can't ascertain. Maybe in the beginning it was more family that were running the store because it felt like every sandwich was made with TLC. Case in point, recently, I got 3 large grilled chicken sandwiches to go and two were good. I took the third one to work for lunch with the intention of making my lunch mates jealous (muahaha) but joke was on me cause when I opened up the sandwich, the only thing staring me back was baguette and chicken with 0 trimmings. See my photo. No love for my sandwich at all (T_T) I also always get 3 basil drinks (buy 2 get 1 free) They're like bubble tea but healthier! The basil seeds hydrate like chia seeds and are so addictive to try to chew! One cup had moldy tasting basil seeds which was really disappointing. I couldn't drink it. So again, it seems like the quality was 2 hits for every 1 miss. Dear Vua owners, if you're reading this, I'm still very sad about my sandwich and drink. I've been a loyal fan for the last 6 years but recently it's been disappointing. read more

Vua - My "made with no love" grilled chicken sandwich with no trimmings because they forgot to put some (T_T) - Vietnamese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I think the winning part about this place is convenience. It's not that good. It's not terrible, but it definitely comes around 2.5/3 stars for tastiness in the BahnMi department. This place definitely benefits from its location. They also make it exceptionally easy to order by number if your french is so so. read more

This place is magnificent. I'm vegetarian and there were plenty of delicious sandwich options, all for about $3. If you're going veggie, I would get the vegetarian chay on the Banh Mi menu - it is more flavorful than the avocado (my husband got the avocado - and I won.) It's deli counter service, but there's a patio and some seating indoors. Great location too. Right across the street from the National Film Board. Great for a sunny day and a walk on St. Denis before a movie. read more

My friends and I were very impressed with this sandwich shop. This is the best viet sub we've experienced better than any here in Toronto. Sandwiches were well made, fast, and didn't cost too much. Even though it was basement level the place was professional and well designed. They offer diverse set of drinks and snacks. This place is so professional and well organized that it makes you think it's a chain. Kudos to the owners for creating such a good experience. read more

"Vua" is the Vietnamese word for king, and this restaurant lives up to that name. I grew up in Toronto, now live in the US East Coast, even ate banh mi in Vietnam - and Vua ranks very close to the top banh mi I've ever had (so take my review seriously because I'm not some clueless American tourist who is new to banh mi). Service: very friendly and the Vietnamese staff not only speak Vietnamese, they can take your order in French and English. One day I came in right at opening time and was told by the cashier that sandwiches weren't yet available, but when she saw our disappointment she went back and called the kitchen staff to have them make us sandwiches. What sweethearts! There are a few tables inside near the door, a very small terrasse with some more tables, and a shared indoor dining space with Thai Express (but is located one floor above Thai Express, or two floors above Vua). General comment: the sandwiches are loaded with liver pate and housemade soy sauce which is how it's supposed to be done in Vietnam. This ain't your typical lazy banh mi shop in North America that uses bottled soy sauce and acts stingy on pate content. This means your sandwich will drip an oozy mixture of mayo and soy sauce so watch your clothing, but don't despair - only the most legit banh mi will drip in this manner. Also the bread gets toasted before all the other ingredients go in, and ends up with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. #1 Dac Biet sandwich: Loaded with Vietnamese deli meats, some pate, and priced 50c less than every other sandwich. Amazing value and beautifully balanced flavor with the pickled vegetables. #12 Liver Pate sandwich: No deli meats here, just a massive gob of pate along with the pickled vegetables. It looks frightening to see how much pate they use, and I was so unbelievably excited when I saw them pack in this amount of flavor. Side note, after 9pm the prepared foods (usually between $7-8) are an additional 30% off - this includes delicious plates of fried rice, steamed rice with grilled meat, and/or stir fried noodles. They just need to be reheated. Overall, absolutely solid and authentic banh mi shop in a cute and conveniently located neighborhood, I'm sure to return next time I'm in MTL. Last comment (I promise): $5 credit card minimum. read more

Vua Sandwichs is a unique, unassuming Vietnamese restaurant on St. Denis. They offer take-out style Vietnamese sandwiches, sushi, salads, side dishes and beverages. The restaurant itself is clean, well let and has seating in both the cafeteria area and upstairs. The Vietnamese and regular sandwiches start at 3$ each for a 7", and 3.50$ for a 10". There are enough vegetarian options between the sushi, salads and sandwiches. Most of the cooked, Chinese style food had fish or meat in it. Vua offers lots of discounts on bulk purchases such as buy 5 pieces of sushi, get 1 free and buy 3 sandwiches, get 1 free. These are great options for catering and parties. There are lots of beverage options including aloe drinks, bubble tea, Vietnamese coffee, both hot and cold and smoothies. If you're looking for cheap, quick and fresh food near Berri-UQAM, then this is a great choice. read more

Walked into this place just as they were about to close but managed to score a delicious grilled chicken Banh Mi sandwich for 4$ before they did! Variety of sandwiches and other options as well to choose from as well. Really liked how fast they made our food and how friendly there were. Def worth checking out! read more

I went to the one on University, near McGill metro. I really like the decor, the options are varied. It's interesting how most of the hot entrees are in the self-serve refrigerated shelves with the sushi. There is a microwave in the shop where you can heat up your food if you're eating on the spot. The price-quantity ratio is what I found Vua does best. The sushi is also nice and soft, unlike the cardboardy dry texture and taste that a certain other sushi chain tends to offer from their ready-to-eat boxes. But the flavors arent aaaamazing as far as asian cuisine comes. This is a great affordable and tasty meal on the go type of place, a healthier fast food option. Overall I like! read more

Delicious, cheap, simple and (fairly) healthy sandwiches with a Vietnamese twist. Limited seating.

I avoided Vua for a long time because it looked so much like a chain restaurant. I was expecting the Vietnamese version of Thai Express or Sushi Shop. Turns out I was wrong and it's actually just an independent shop that clearly aspires to be the Vietnamese fast food franchise chain of note. At first I thought I arrived in a convenience store (and in some ways it is), but they also have a deli counter where I ordered a Saigon style 10" Bahn Mi. Their ten inch sandwich was too much for me, next time I'll stick to the regular size. My sandwich was ready mere minutes after ordering. The staff don't slack, they can get really hammered during lunch time and at $2.95 a sandwich, volume is where their profits lie. Most of the interior is lined with shelves and refrigerators bursting with an impressive assortment of ready made Asian goodies. It spans from Banh Mi of course to Sushi and Bubble Tea, and lots and lots of imported snacks and drinks. If you need an Asian fix, but Chinatown is too far away, Vua might satisfy your cravings. They even have a few tables near the entrance and a small terrace for customers. I'm not really an expert on Vietnamese sandwiches, but I have had the real thing. While not as good as the original, they do serve up a reasonable facsimile. Is there better Banh Mi in Montreal? Probably, but sometimes it's all about location and Vua is in an incredible spot, and at $2.95 you'll not find a cheaper lunch in the area. read more

Cheap Delicious Quick I've only ever had their banh mi sandwiches because I can truly say I'm addicted to them. I had their vegetarian banh mi one day when I wanted something cheap. I was blown away by how delicious and filling these sandwiches are! I usually grab 2 (one for me and one for the bf) and it amounts to just under $10.00. I only ever say 3 or 4 things "Number 14 (vegetarian banh mi - tofu)" "Brown bread" "Everything on it" "Mild" And in minutes the deliciousness is brought to the cash. I guess it's classified as fast food since the whole process is similar to what you'd experience at subway but the taste is far beyond your typical tofu wrap. Actually this review has me craving one right now... read more

This was my go-to place when I needed a good, cheap Vietnamese sandwich. Although the workers usually only speak French/Vietnamese, all the sandwiches are labeled by numbers on the big screen, so it's not too difficult to communicate. About $3, and I always get the little sesame dessert balls for about $1.50. All sushi and to-go items are 30% (maybe 20%, not sure) after 9pm. They sell individual pieces of sushi (shrimp, salmon, egg, etc.) for 99 cents which I think is great if you need a small fix. Also, the milk tea + boba is kind of pricey here, but I'm also a California native where I can get it for $2. Here it's around $4ish dollars. Come here for a good banh mi in Montreal. I miss you, BBQ pork sandwich aka #7. read more

Found this gem through reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. This place offers great sandwiches that tastes authentic enough for us to visit this place twice while we were in the area. I got the grilled chicken since you can never go wrong with grilled chicken and I would definitely recommend it. read more

Aaaaamazing. I want to go back, right now. I ordered a BBQ pork banh mi, I wish they stuffed it with more pork but it was a GREAT sandwich. Even the food stored in the fridges looked delicious and fresh. The service is quick, the prices are affordable and reasonable, and they have some good deals too. On a nice day, take your food out to their little patio and soak up the sun. You will not be disappointed! read more

I'm not a banh mi expert but I really enjoyed my roasted chicken sandwich and bubble tea. I think my tea cost more than my sandwich (cheap sandwich, not expensive tea). Good value for a quick and nutritious lunch. The small seating area was clean but quite crowded. I think this will be a good spot to pick up a picnic on the way to the Jardin Botanique when the weather gets nicer. read more

One of those cases where I got sucked in by just quickly searching for a bahn mi place and only looked at the *stars*. If I'd read more, I'd have found the other two star reviews which mirror my own confusion about why this place is considered good. Just going by the bahn mi, I'm never coming here again. It's missing all the key ingredients of a good bahn mi. The bread is too large and there's no crispy crust. There isn't enough pickled veggies to add the refreshing crunch. Not that adding more would have helped, they were soft, rather tasteless, and sad. Barely any cilantro either. I'm completely bewildered by how the actual product was so bad considering how many fellow Yelpers seem to like this place. The only plus is it was pretty cheap. And they sell many other food options like packaged rice/stirfry or sushi meals. Although given the quality of the bahn mi...consume at your own discretion. read more

Why is this not a franchise? If this were a franchise, it would mean I could get these sandwiches everywhere. And if I could get these sandwiches everywhere, I would be soooooooo happy. Despite the neverending line (it's essentially a continuous flow of people from open 'til close), there's rarely a sense of rush and the service is always exceptional. Pair this with some tremendously tasty banh mi sandwiches, and it's got all the makings of one of my favourite "to-go" spots. In fact, it's so good that even if I'm not hungry, I'll pick up a couple of sandwiches from here whenever I'm in the neighbourhood, just so that I can have them for later. read more

Vua Sandwiches is one of the best places in Montreal to grab a quick and cheap bite. This place is famous for its Bánh Mì sandwich, which costs around $3.50 on average. Located close to the Berri metro station, it caters to the population of frugal UQAM (university) students in the area. The quality of the sandwiches are quite good despite the low price. The ingredients were pretty fresh, and they don't skimp out on ingredients. It's undoubtedly a great bargain for its price. There are also other Asian snacks (such as pre-made sushi, etc.) and drinks in the store, although these tend to be much pricier than the sandwiches. read more

Great food. I went and got a 10-inch Banh Mi for less than 5$. Tasted great! They also have other stuff, such as fried rice and sushi rolls, although those are prepackaged and slightly pricier. They have lovely decor with bright, vivid colours that really give a trendy vibe to the place. The shop is actually pretty small, though, so there are only a couple tables to sit down at. (fyi they only accept credit for purchases of 5$ or more) read more
