Restaurant Hoai Huong

The food is fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and adequate. Good portion size and reasonably priced. I had the number 17 on the menu, the grilled pork with salad, roll and noodles. It was excellent.👌

Hoai Huong is me, my family and my friends’ favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal. Talking about authenticity, personally, I do love the food and would say that it’s 85% authentic to what you can get when travelling to Vietnam, which is really high cause we’re talking about Northeastern-America ingredients. I strongly recommend Salade vietnamienne (porc & crevettes) for appetizer and no-soup plates like the ones I’ve included, or even other rice dishes. We’ve come here many many times, the quality remains the same over years, the owner is kind and friendly (he speaks lotsss languages too, impressive!).

All food was very good 100% recommend. The atmosphere is great and personal is very nice.

Delicious pork/imperial roll bún! 😋 Proper, fresh, tasty, and a good price. Thank you!

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal. It's a family operation. They treat their customers very well with respect and humor. The food is good value, high quality. well presented and served.

Super nice, friendly staff, well trained for allergies. My coeliac wife had a delicious Tonkinoise soup, and I had one of the best Pad Thai I've had. There were no reactions at all, and everything was on point. Will come back for sure Also took gluten friendly Tonkinoise soup (beef and chicken) for takeout, and we even got gluten-free certified sauces.

My friend and I ate here on Sunday night. The food was excellent, staff was accommodating and gave recommendations for someone who had never eaten Vietnamese food before. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. However, the Terrace, although small, is wheelchair accessible. If you like Vietnamese food and a casual atmosphere or you want to try it for the first time, I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been craving these exact nems (imperial rolls) for SO LONG and not just any imperial roll, I wanted these super deep fried Vietnamese imperial rolls and these EXCEEDED my expectations, which were high. Delish food, super friendly service, will be back for sure 👌👌

Good variety of dishes,fresh , tasty & for all budgets, efficient & friendly service providing clear explanations for items on menu, all in an informal setting, with dinning indoors or on the terrace.

Waited 45. minutes for service. Been sick for 2 days since eating the worst beef Tonkinese soup EVER and tasty spring rolls. I had been going there for at least 10+ years. This is the second time I had problems. They also tried to bring all the dishes for dinner for 2 at once to a tiny 2 seater table where you could barely fit water and a place setting. This was to be the last time I will EVER eat there. I have always brought people to try this restaurant and they always loved it and became patrons. The last 2 times I have been horribly embarrassed for people to think that I think this is edible, let alone good, food. NEVER AGAIN! And it was one of my favourite "go to" eatery. No more!

The food is amazing, staff extremely friendly and service is fast. I have been coming here for so long and always amazed it remains as constantly good for so long!!! The neighbourhood thanks you! Daniel

Food is pretty good, always ordering the same dish and the service is a bit slow but the ambiance is okay

Food is good at Hoai Huong's authentic Vietnamese cuisine / fusion french cuisine. Everything on the menu are very flavorful and tasty . I've been coming since 1996 and the staff have their beautiful smile at all times. Super friendly, excellent service all the time The ambiance is cozy. Good job

I have been coming here for around 30 years and it's part of my family history by now. My son grew up eating their delicious food and the staff know us so well that they recite our usual orders after we exchange pleasantries. There are a few must-haves: the Imperial rolls are crispy and generously filled. They're the best in Montreal! The Vietnamese pancake is also a marvel because unlike many other places, Hoai Hoang uses a minimal amount of fat. The broth in their pho has multiple layers of flavour. I look forward to enjoying their food for a long time to come.

This is the place you go to order the Special dishes on the menu. It's easily accessible by car with parking on the surrounding streets or a 2 min walk from metro Cote St-Catherine. On weekday nights, it's relatively busy with most tables full so I can imagine it being busier on weekends. Service was prompt, maybe too prompt cause we didn't even get time to think of what to order. If that's you, then I'd recommend going with their specialities which are the #1 Imperial Rolls, and specialty dishes #41 and #22. In the #22 BANH DAP THIT NUONG, the pork is grilled to perfection, cut up in strips so you can wrap them in the rice wrappers laid over a bed of crispy shrimp chips. Add some trimmings like mint leaves and sprouts.... Use all your willpower to hold that little wrap together with your ninja chopstick skills and go ahead and dunk it in fish sauce. The flavors just blend so well together!! This dish gets a 5/5 for me! It's a no brainier dish--everyone in the Vietnamese family of six sitting next to us each ordered the same plate! The #41 COM SUON BI CHA has a trio of Viet foods to try: a sort of quiche which you're supposed to chop up and eat with the rice, doused with fishy sauce, shredded pork which also is to be mixed into the rice and grilled pork cutlet. There's a spoonful of green onion & oil that you also gotta incorporate into the rice. Phew... Sounds like a lotta work but it's worth the flavor it produces!! I recommend tackling the pork cutlet while it's hot cause it slowly dries out when cooled. Their fish sauce is a bit blander but that's entirely my opinion cause I'm used to eating a more concentrated fish sauce. The #19 BUN BO XAO XA is quite good. I like how they have chopped mint leaves with the beef. The flavor is slightly sweet and you can really taste lemongrass. One thing they don't have is pickled daikon. I would've preferred the beef more "grilled" whereas this tastes a bit more like it was sauteed. It gets a 4/5 for me. For dessert, if you're not already stuffed, try the #7 CHE BAY MAU with 7 different beans and jellies iced dessert. My mom liked the food so much we went back the next day to try the other items! Definitely will go again.

5 star for food and service! This place was quite busy on a cold Friday night but it was worth the wait. We started with the spring rolls, our waiter made sure we knew those were not the fried ones. They were super fresh and came with a great peanut sauce. We then had pho dac biet which arrived rare, just as it should be. It was full of flavour and I would have another bowl if my stomach could fit it! Only reason for the 4 star is this place could use a little sprucing up and it was a little too cozy for me, our table was separated by 2 inches from the couple next to us and it was impossible to have a private conversation.

7/10 Pretty nice and attentive service. They accomodated 6 us of us and came back a few times to reassure us that it won't be too long for the wait. As for the food. The vietnamese crepe was a big beautiful /colorful and tasty. 3 types of beef vermicelli roll was flavorful and not too empowering in taste,portions were good for these two plates. The phos though were quite dissapointing at 15 bux for a large that looks more like a small or medium vs the competitors. The flavors were a bit on the light side for the soups as well. it does taste less msg than other places though Pretty good place for the special dishes but for pho i would say go somewhere else

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've ever had in canada...No...it's the best one! After 7 years in Canada, I was desperately looking for a good restaurant with the taste I used to have in Vietnamese restaurant in France and I have finally found it! You won't be disappointed! Try the imperial rolls because this is the real taste! (And not the egg rolls that only exists in north america and...no coment!) The food is really fresh, service very kind and the price not expensive. Try it! Bon enfin un resto asiatique (vietnamien surtout) qui a de l'allure. Depuis sept ans au Canada, je cherche désespérément un bon resto asiat. En vain! Meme dans le china town je suis déçu. Meme dans le china town de NY je n'ai pas été impressionné. Si vous avez l'occasion, dans le quartier chinois de Paris, les resto asiatiques sont incroyables. Tellement delicieux. En bref, ce resto est pour moi celui qui se rapproche le plus de la qualité et des recettes vietnamienne de ce que j'ai pu connaitre de mieux. Alors essayez le et dites moi si vous etes d'accord ;) Par ailleurs, très bon service.

Spring has finally begun to appear and of course this means folks are out and about catching sun rays, whether at the park, along the water, and of course, on patios and terraces. So we figured it was as good a time as any to try out the patio at Hoai Hoang, just a couple blocks from our place. It was one of the few Vietnamese spots that we had yet to eat at, and it seems like a popular spot every time we walk by. We lucked out and found a patio table, and both ordered the BBQ pork chop and shrimp with rice and salad. Safe choice. That said, the dish for me ended up not being that memorable. Though the sauce was tasty, the pork chop was a little overlooked and dry, and the shrimp was just okay. The salad seemed like it had been sitting around on the plate for awhile. Maybe this wasn't a specialty dish, but next time I'll stick with the pho. Hard to go wrong with that. The patio did make the experience much nicer, and the service was solid.

Funny story: Looking for a good Chinese restaurant in Montreal so I turned to youtube and stumbles on this video raving about how amazing the pork and shrimp salad is. So i decided to yelp it and also found really good reviews,so i decided to come here. When you are on vacation, every meal counts so need to make sure I'm making the right calorie intake choice! It was amazing! Crunchy shrimp chips with a flavorful salad! We also got the "wrap your own spring roll" dish and that was also amazing! You get lots of rice paper that you have to soak yourself and wrap the vermicelli, veggies, and meat together. It also came with a delicious dipping sauce that tied all the delicious flavors together! Still thinking about this place back home and wish they had one here!!

As much as I wanted to give a higher review, my second time visiting this restaurant has left me disappointed and perplexed. I made a point to come back after a so so experience last summer; the re-do was not all that great. For some reason though, the restaurant is very popular with patrons filling the place up during lunch time and dinner time. I guess me liking that place was just not meant to be: I found their soup bland, the service wasnt anything to write home about and their prices a bit inflated for what is offered and in comparison to other similar establishments.

Best Pho. Broth is amazing. Portions are big and even main beef and chicken dish was legit. We were 2 ppl and split one Pho and one main dish and were full. Price, service and ambiance was on point. Every other pho place we tried after this didn't compare. THE GO-TO PHO SPOT.

Everytime I go to Montréal, this is a must go restaurant. Worth the 6hr drive lol. Banh Dap all day and night if I could. They have good viet food here As you can tell, Banh Dap is a popular dish lol!

For starters, I can't even pronounce the name of this place. You walk in, the ambience is pleasant, but as you check the menu you notice that it's considerably pricier than Sen Vang down the street. And I can pronounce Sen Vang. The selection, it must be said is definitely more extensive than the aforementioned competitor, so that's a positive. Their service is alright, not really noteworthy. Once your food arrives and you dig in... It's good. But I don't think good cuts it at their price point. Down the street, there's a similar Vietnamese place that's excellent, and it's cheaper, so what's the deal? Why do I eat here, you ask? Sen Vang is closed on Wednesday's, these guys are only other game in the neighbourhood when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine. Should you eat here? Frankly, only if one of three conditions are met: 1. It's a Wednesday 2. You only have interac (Sen Vang is cash only) 3. It really has to be Vietnamese food

I dream about their food, seriously. Great soups, amazing rolls and their platters...drool. Support them!!

Omg this time was horrible! Service sucked and the food was even worse!!! We came here because my mother really wanted to try their specialty dish. The meats in our soup were spoiled and they forgot my order. When I asked them about it they didn't say much so I told them to forget about it. About 5 minutes later the waiter came out with my soup and told them it was 30 minutes late. He rudely replied that it was because the order was placed after the initial order. Ya... 30 seconds late!!! Very rude staff! It's such a shame because we've been coming here for 25 something years. Maybe not every week but still... One more thing... inside the restaurant stinks!

Good service, good quality, larger than average sized spring rolls that were uber fresh - put this seemingly well know neighborhood spot a solid four. The only main negative was that their prices were on the high side. Very little on the menu for under $10 and even the rolls are 7 - yikes (the most expensive I've ever seen). Grant they are a bit larger and like I said above beyond fresh. They did have an extra small portion of chicken Pho for about a fiver which made a nice combo with the rolls and an above average dipping sauce. Many other dishes looked quite tasty, but will save that for another nite and perhaps with a friend.

Oh my...if you're a Pho or Vermicelli lover, this is the place to be. My first time here tonight and I love this place?? Right now it's 9pm on a Wednesday night and this place is packed!! Glad that a local friend end of mine brought me here. I'll be back and can only recommend this place.

I've been coming here with my family since I was a kid and the staff greets us by name and knows our favourite dishes. Thankfully, very little has changed in the food department. The beef with lemongrass served on vermicelli always hits the spot and makes for quite a filling meal. The Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe filled with sprouts, shrimp, and pork), while a bit messy (I'm told one is supposed to eat it wrapped in lettuce and then dipped in the nc chm - fish sauce), and even though I hate eating food where my hands have to get dirty, is a winner. Imperial rolls are meaty and plump, and the right kind of crispy. The selection of pho is pretty extensive and they are all worth ordering. Hoai Huong also has massive platters of do-it-yourself platters that are meant to be wrapped in rice paper. My dad and I often share the bo la lot (beef wrapped in betel leaf) and then placed into a freshly soften piece of rice paper with any combination of rice noodles, fresh greens, mint, etc. and dipped in the accompanying sauce. Oh, and if this all of this wasn't enough food, why not try the three coloured drink (various jelly and red bean in coconut milk) for dessert.

The best Vietnamese I've ever tried. We went there yesterday night with some friends. All of us were satisfied. I tried the Pho soup with chicken, the others: 22., 35., 38. The dishes looked well and they had good taste and smell. Quick service, clean and nice place. You can pay by card, too. Close to the metro station, highly recommend!

Good food, generous portions Good price Service is ok - they forgot to give us water until we were done eating, but the food came quickly Place is clean We ordered pho, a Vietnamese crepe (Banh Xeo), and grilled pork with vermicelli and imperial rolls. Everything is good. I had the vermicelli and the imperial roll was huge. Will come back again.

This is probably the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant I've been to in Montreal. Born and raised in Vietnam, I'm very picky with my fish sauce (nuoc mam) and Hoai Huong's got it! Their #17 grilled pork + spring roll vermicelli hit all the right spots. The service was quick and friendly. I will definitely come again the next time I visit Montreal.

Called to make a delivery, but they said they don't. Then why state that you do on Yelp??? Waste of time.

Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food that is super reasonably priced!! Imperial rolls and lemongrass beef vermicelli are to die for and so is the Mi Hoai Houng- best Vietnamese soup I've ever had!!! Definitely give this place a try!

Tried this place for the second time. Had a pho the first time which was very good but nothing extraordinary. This time I had the ginger chicken. It was, by far, the best one I've ever had in a Vietnamese restaurant. My partner, at the waiter's suggestion, had the Banh Xeo (large paper-thin crepe filled with pork, shrimp and other goodies) and loved it . The prices are fair and the quantities of food served good. Our waiter was fast, efficient, friendly and gave us lots of information on the dishes we selected and a few others on the menu. The decor is plain and parking on Victoria can be a challenge during the busy periods.

First time in the city of Montreal. Went to try this place with my wife and several in laws. Personally came into the restaurant with high expectations since I was told the Vietnamese food here was pretty good. The menu had variety of different courses all ranging from your typical pho and rice dishes to banh xeo (Vietnamese crepes), bo ba mon (3 different beef), etc.. In laws and I ordered the bo ba mon, my wife ordered one of the grilled pork with rice plates. Everyone at the table besides me got their dish. Somehow my order was skipped and customers who came in way after us got their ordered fulfilled and they had all finished before I ever saw my order. We had let the staff know several times to check for my order and they kept reassuring me it was coming. Each time I saw a bo ba mon come out of the kitchen, it went to another table. By the time I even got my order, everyone at my table was done eating. It created an awkward environment because now everyone has to wait for me to start eating. I know it is an asian restaurant and service generally sucks, but not getting our order complete before customers that came after us who ordered the same thing is ridiculous. The rice dish my wife ordered was mediocre at best. The pork chop in my personal opinion was overcooked and dry. The cha trung (egg meatloaf?) that came with the rice dish was actually tasty. On top of it all when the bill came, they charged us for a bottle of red wine and beer which we never ordered and tried to play it off. That is some shady business. We had to ask them to look over the charges and give us a bill that details every item we ordered. For those of you guys who eat here, I would triple check to make sure they arent trying to add some random stuff to your bill. All in all, we would not recommend this place or come back to it due to their shady business practices.

Nice Vietnamese Resto, good food and nice terrace for the summer. Recommend for lunch if you happen to be in the area. I ordered #2 spring rolls and #31 3 specialties of beef. Fast service and very polite.

Our group was craving for some Vietnamese after a long airplane trip back to Montréal so one of us suggested Hoai Huong. Since I haven't eaten anything much for an extended amount of time I went for the extra large bowl of pho dac biet (all dressed) but when the bowl came it was a large sized. I was a bit dissapointed by the service but my tummy was growling too loudly that I didn't bother asking for a bowl size change. Everything in my pho wasn't bad but just average. The broth wasn't too impressive and that's coming from someone who was quite hungry. I've tried their other dishes too and some of them were quite tasty but there are too many other Vietnamese restaurants typical to this one to make it stand out. Hoai Huong is the kind of restaurant with a mini Buddha statue besides a bowl of guava candy.

Yum food we tried birds nest & clay pot chicken with mushrooms that's number 51 on menu

The food is very good and the service is friendly and welcoming. It's a very affordable place and has a nice ambiance.

Great food, fast service and good location. Food is always delicious. I always look forward to trying new things every time I go. I really enjoy their delicious soups and fresh spring rolls. Great place for lunch or dinner :)

This was our last spot before heading back to the airport. Really cute neighborhood spot with outdoor seating. When we arrived, there were a few tables left and we quickly snatched one in the sun. The menu is pretty extensive and we ordered the bird's nest with seafood as well as pork vermicelli with salad and a beef roll. They also had pretty good house white wine by the glass, carafe or bottle. The wine came out quickly and although the food did not come out together, there was only a 5 min delay or so. The food was fresh and delicious. Portions were very generous and though I'm not normally a sauce lover, the sauce that came with the bird's nest meal was spot on. Friendly service, delicious food, and good wine - can't ask for much more than that.

Best Vietnamese food in the city! I go all the time, and it is a good thing I don't live closer or I would be there every day! The barbeque pork is the best. #22 comes with the pork, some shrimp chips and these beautiful wide rice noodles that are soft and delicious! I like taking a little of everything and putting it on a shrimp chip and dunking it in the fish sauce. The beef in vine leaves is amazing. You wrap up some meat and veggies with the rice vermicelli in a rice paper and roll them up yourself. The peanut sauce is not typical peanut butter sauce (and that is a good thing!) It has chunks of peanuts and is a little bit spicy. Wonderful! The wonton soup is amazing, with fluffy wontons and garlic chives in their amazing broth. The combos come with a great little soup, a crunchy imperial roll and the best grilled chicken I have ever eaten. The beef is amazing too, but I have a soft spot for the chicken. Whenever I feel under the weather, their pho makes me feel better. They'll pack anything to go, and the soup comes in a separate container from the noodles and beef (with the veggies in a bag) so you can leave it till later for dinner and it is almost as good as eating it right away. I also have to get an iced coffee every time I go. They use real Vietnamese coffee and you have to wait till it is done brewing at your table, then stir the coffee to mix in the condensed milk at the bottom of the cup and then pour it over the glass of ice that comes with it. Amazing! Hard to drink just one. Great restaurant!

Incredibly flavorful dishes, large positions and beautiful plating. Staff are also amazingly friendly. Nice place to go! Very accessible by météo - only 2 minutes walk from orange station côte-saint-catherine.

Banh Xeo. Which was basically a crepe filled with a stir-fry mixture of bean sprouts, pork and shrimp fragrant in spices. A pretty unique dish, as with the Bo Ba Muon, this one requires eating with your hands as well, not to say that one normally eats with their feet, but you know what I mean.

I went here for lunch and dinner a few more times since my last review. Their food is consistent in taste and always mouth watering (though a bit salty). The menu has a large selection - prices have gone up ~10% since my last visit unfortunately. They handled my reservations for a large group (~10 persons; 1st time going in such a large group here) without trouble. Service was incredibly fast (served within minutes of ordering even though the restaurant was at full capacity). Very impressed so far. A safe choice for Vietnamese food.

perfect！everything is good.especially the traditional taste of vitnam food. the music is also great haha

The food is great! Only downside is the menu doesn't well describe the options, so it can be difficult to choose. That said, we've loved almost everything we've had here, and the menu is extensive and varied enough to keep us coming back.

A clean, friendly Vietnamese neighborhood restaurant. I went for my typical V-meal and got spring rolls and Pho Bac. Both were excellent. You're not going to win over a date with this place - unless you have been together for a while and are pretty comfortable with each other and like casual. But you will have a good, inexpensive meal. All of the diners appeared to be locals, happily munching away on real Vietnamese cooking.

Good food, it came quick but poor service. No water till half way of our meal and my partner has to ask for it. The waiter only gave him a glass... where's mine? Our waiter never came back for a refill. We ordered tea, was not hot at all. Experience was very disappointing but will only go for the food or for takeout.

I went to this restaurant a couple nights ago with a very large group. I ordered something that turned out to be too sweet for me, and though I felt a little weird about it because it wasn't over/undercooked, I asked if I could exchange it for something else. Rather than dumping a pile of bean sprouts over my head, they took the dish back and gave me something new - it was excellent. The BBQ meat had a great flavour and everything was fresh. The service was also super fast despite the size of our group. I'll definitely be back.

Okay bun, but the sauce was very sweet. The imperial roll was like an egg roll. Although the service was nice and they let us substitute chicken for pork on one of the dishes.

Big disappointment. Spring rolls were pasty and salty, not crispy. My friend's ginger chicken was soaking in soy sauce, she returned it and the replacement was no better.
