  Let me preface this review by mentioning I don't like to give a restaurants first rating a negative one as I realize and respect it's someone's livelihood. However I want to be honest.
  
  Having a hankering for some Asian noodles and wanting to try something different I though I'd give this place a chance. In Terrebonne there appears to be a decent selection of Asian food restaurants however most of it to me is Quebec Asian stir fry. What is this creation you may ask? All of these dishes such as lemongrass beef, general tao chicken, chicken thai basil, ginger beef and red and yellow curries can be found on most Quebec Asian stir fry restaurants with some differentiation from place to place but mostly they taste very similar. My preference is for more authentic Asian cuisine however many Quebeckers have taken to this type of Asian food. So restaurants copy the menus from other restaurants and you have seen this proliferate.
  
  On my first order I ordered a  Pad Thai chicken plus a soup tonkonise (pho).  Pad thai was of no resemblance to pad thai other than the correct style rice noodles used. It really was a stir fry with grilled chicken and a wide assortment of vegetables. It even had cucumber and fresh tomato. Flavour was okay nothing memorable, The soup had noodles, some cilantro but was in a very salty broth with well done beef. The broth had decent flavour but seemed over salted or with some MSG.
  
  I asked the owners where they were from and they mentioned Just north of Saigon. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and seemed fairly busy for a Thursday night. They do have 1/2 price your second entree on Monday and Tuesday which must be their slower nights. Price wise for my two dishes was just over $25 which is inexpensive. I may come back and try something else we shall see how adventurous I feel.
