Restaurant An-Nam Delices

3.5 stars
Found this place by way of Unilocal search as I was interested in trying something new Asian wise in the Quebec area where Asian options are limited and not very inspiring.
Décor of the place was simple, not high end but you could tell that thought and care was put into the place to try to make feel comfortable. I respect that running a small business restaurant is lots of work and the service provided was polite and adequate.
Menu was your typical Quebec Stir fry options with chicken, shrimp or seafood with various sauces, curry or sauté. I asked what he had which was spicy and it was mentioned a Thai soup and the Bangkok chicken. So I went with this. The menu is table d’hôte style which comes with soup, salad (plus two delicious spring rolls) main meal with rice and vegetables and dessert and coffee. Thai soup was okay, nothing wow spicy or memorable but decent. It did have a tart sour taste and was mildly spice inspired. My main chicken meal was okay, nothing wow amazing but came in a sweet spicy sauce with a good serving of vegetables. Really for the price it’s excellent value. Serving size of the table d’hôte is huge. Price is totally worth it for what you get! I declined the dessert as I was wanting to get back on the road. My meal was $ 13.15 (including tax and 15% tip). Super value!
I spoke with the owner and he is Vietnamese. I asked him why not more authentic Vietnamese dishes and he mentioned his clientele likes his cooking. This is what I usually here when asking the question in Quebec.
His friendliness and their portion size is the reason I bump up to 3.5 stars. I’d come back to try something else and because the portion size for price is really good keeping lower expectations.

Assiettes généreuses et pleines de goût. Nous avons pris le menu gastronomique pour deux et c’était excellent .le prix est raisonnable et justifié .Service impeccable. Apportez votre vin. Éclairage tamisé, très propre à essayer. Resto actif depuis 12 ans

Situé proche du chemin de fer à Charny, ce restaurant est un peu dur à trouver. Il est situé dans la vielle partie de la ville, alors les rues sont plus étroites et les maisons sont plus proches les unes des autres. Par contre, une fois stationné, on peut s’installer confortablement dans le restaurant. L’atmosphère est relaxante et intime, car chaque fois que j’y suis allée, le restaurant était presque vide. Ce n’est certainement pas à cause de leur nourriture, car le plat de général tao que j’ai mangé en table d’hôte était très bon (comme l’était le plat de fruits de mer que mon amie s’est commandé).
