Plats Cuisinés du Mékong (Les) — Restaurant in Boisbriand

Me and my girlfriend choose this restaurant based on the reviews, looking for a good Vietnamese/Thai restaurant in the area. It has a 4.8* rating with over 130 reviews. Cant go wrong right?? We got served by the owner, which came off as a nice man. We asked him what was the specialty of his restaurant was and he recommended 5 soups...he described 1 soup, a spicy soup made with coconut milk, basil, broccoli etc., It sounded delicious and I ordered this, and my girlfriend took a vegetarian tofu plate. We also asked for 1 order of spring rolls to share. And finally 1 Pad Thai plate to share. The spring rolls arrived and were "not bad". My soup was really not what I ordered and wasn't good at all. The WORST was the Pad Thai, they put KETCHUP in the Pad Thai??? Who does that? It really shocked me. At this point I was upset and didn't eat the Pad Thai and decided to leave. The Bill was 68$ The owner charged us 5$ each spring roll because we decided to "share" the plate and 2.50$ for extra vegetables that we didn't order. Ridiculous, In my opinion. Toilets were dirty too. It ruined our day and appetite, its not fair to pay for food that's inedible, and we were shocked to receive a bill that expensive for the quality of food and restaurant itself. I still don't understand where all those reviews come from to be honest to get 4.8* AT YOUR OWN RISK...

I'm gonna by saying that service was very good. But the food though... First the prices are almost the double of an usual Asian restaurant. I'll be ok with the price if the quality of the food was high but is not. We got some curry Thai Shrimps but there was no flavor at all. Normally, you stir fry the protein and vegetables with the sauce but it was obvious that the sauce was added after on the plate before serving. It's like they prepare in advance part of the meals and they are just waiting to see what the client will order to add the corresponding sauce on top of it. Also, for the price, we got just 6 tiny shrimps... For an Asian owned restaurant, this is very disappointing. Not returning...

One of my local favourites with fantastic Pho and Tonkinese Soup. (More below)

The broth and soup are delicious respectively and the family run staff, owner and wife, are polite and friendly. To say nothing but good things about their fantastic cooking.

Atmosphere is fantastic and it’s a cozy, low volume dining location perfect for dining as a couple or with a friend.

A takeaway service is offered as you will notice throughout your dining and is much appreciated as it allows this fantastic restaurant to service much higher numbers than it’s capacity would otherwise allow. Allowing it to maintain it’s charm, atmosphere while still adequately servicing the local community with fantastic...
