Wow Thai Son deserves every stars! This is such an underrated gem. It’s your old school Asian restaurant serving the best Vietnamese food and Chinese roasted meat. I stopped by at lunch to get a roast pork banh mi and knew I have to bring my family here. The ladies serving us were pleasant and I really appreciate them accommodating our group of 7 even though it was 30 minutes to their closing time. The dishes we tried were really authentic.

I came back to Montreal this time after 3 years, rushing to the store for my favorite BBQ pork and duck. Ordered 4 items including half bbq duck. My mom and I asked the butcher guy 2 times if the duck is in the pack before we’re leaving. Still, there’s no duck in the bag when we opened the pack afterward at home. We called the store and the owner and cashier was so apologetic and gave us back the portion we ordered. But no apologies from the butcher guy - just a very rude look at my mom and me. Better check your stuff carefully if you...
