Reviews of Bangkok Express show a mix of strong value and flavor with generous portions and reasonable prices, and many praise the choo chee fish, various curries, and dumplings for authentic Thai flavors, along with a bright, relaxing atmosphere. Service is described as friendly and attentive by many, but several visits mention slower or inconsistent service and dishes arriving lukewarm or with the wrong protein, and some meals are noted as too salty, oily, or lacking rice with curries.

Overall Bangkok Express is seen as a solid Thai option in Montreal with standout items and good value, yet experiences can vary by visit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Wasabi Sushi draws consistent praise for delicious, fresh sushi, with most reviews noting the sushi is tasty and well made, though the large avocado pieces in each roll could be more delicate.

Review Summary

TOKI is described as a small, cute Korean street-food spot with generous portions and affordable prices, where dishes like tteokbokki, kimchi fries, dumplings, and Korean fried chicken are repeatedly praised for flavor and variety. The atmosphere is cozy and cute with rabbit-themed decor, but seating is limited and space can feel tight, making it less ideal for large groups. Service is generally fast and friendly, with takeout praised for careful packaging, though a few reviews note uneven or less welcoming experiences at the counter. The menu includes limited-time items such as the Dubai chewy cookie and various combos that offer good value, and dishes like poutine-style kimchi fries and rich sauces are highlighted. Overall, sentiment is positive and many say they would return, viewing it as a standout in the area, while minor criticisms include occasional texture issues with chicken or fries and the small dining area.View restaurant profile
