Restaurant Êm - Montreal, Quebec

Great Vietnamese food presented differently. Our service was exceptional on a Thursday evening. Prices are very reasonable. Parking could be an issue. BYOB!

Very good Vietnamese food – has all the standards and some really tasty extras. The crispy shrimp rice balls are to die for - I could just eat those all night! And their delicate dumplings in a creamy peanut sauce shouldn’t be missed. Highly recommended are the grilled chicken, beef , ... scallops, fish and shrimp. The fried imperial rolls are light and crispy. And the service is very attentive. A great night out! Read more

Love this place: the food is always the freshest possible, with perfect consistency from visit to visit. Some items aren't on the menu if out of season or the available supplies are below par, which makes for surprises that are never disappointing, since they will only prepare meals with top ... quality ingredients. I'm sure I would give them exactly the same rating after any meal I've had there, because it never sinks below the level of excellent. The only negative is that it's been refurbished to improve the atmosphere, but you can tell it's been in the same location for a long time, so it's not the plushest decor. Their simple environment does allow them to keep their prices very reasonable considering the exceptional quality of the fare however, and that's indicated by the fact that almost everyone crossing their sill during a meal is known to the staff due to many a return patronage. I can understand that some people would rate it less than four stars, mainly for the unimpressive decor, but I would give it 6 stars for the food alone, so even downgrading the look of the place to 4 stars still averages out to a "5 Star" in my book!

We went here tonight ( 06/03/18 ) my wife and I... it was a good experience the waiter ( Joel ) was awesome his service was great. The appetizers were nothing special but still good. Just no wow factor! The main dishes ... shrimp pad Thai and grilled lemongrass beef ... were amazing and the detail that the chefs execute on there plates is superb... fried imperial chicken rolls are very bland and oily but not a deal breaker just won’t order them next time. All in all it was a place we would go back Read more

The best Vietnamese restaurant on the south shore if not in the hole greater Montreal area! We go bi-weekly if not more! I recommend it to everyone I know. Prices and quality match perfectly, Only disappointment it's a small place , so they do not except groups over 10 to ... 12 people and reservation is a most even for 2-4 because it's often full.
