Review Summary

Mae Sri Comptoir Thai draws a mix of praise and critique across reviews. Diners praise authentic Thai flavors with favorites like pad thai, pad see ew, green curry, tom yum and braised beef noodle soup, often describing them as flavorful, well balanced and comforting, with some notes of excellent broth and chewy noodles. The atmosphere is described as cozy and the service can be friendly and efficient, though experiences vary with reports of slow service, mixups, or the need to order at the counter. Portion sizes and prices come up frequently, with several reviewers calling portions small for the price or noting shrinkflation, and takeout portions sometimes feeling especially stingy. Practical annoyances include a QR code menu that can be finicky, outdated prices on Google or the site, and occasional packaging issues for delivery or takeout. Some visits mention a smell issue in the dining room or a perceived focus on delivery orders that affects in-house service. Overall the place is viewed as a solid Thai option in the area with strong flavor and a welcoming vibe, but potential diners should weigh the value against portion size and occasional inconsistencies.View restaurant profile

Seafood/Fish Burgers Sandwiches Poke Bowl Comfort Food Fish & Chips

Review Summary

Reviews of OFISH MTL show a mix of experiences: many diners praise the fish and chips as light and crispy with fries that are perfectly crunchy, and they appreciate generous portions and dishes like the fish burger and a curry option, along with friendly service and a cozy, clean atmosphere. On the other hand, several visits are disappointing with comments about oily or bland fries, a slaw that is too acidic or not well prepared, small or tough fish portions, and slower or inconsistent service. Longtime fans note changes to the fry style, preferring thicker chips, while some reviews question freshness or overall consistency. Taken together, the restaurant is seen as capable of delivering delicious fish, but satisfaction varies and sides and execution can significantly impact the overall experience.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

At La Chambre, reviews paint a sporty, welcoming vibe with a stylish space and friendly service on some nights, but consistency is spotty. Some meals were described as delicious, with highlights like brie in starters or tasty burgers, while others arrived soggy or undercooked, and a few orders were incomplete or forgot items such as dessert candles. Beer availability and temperature varied, and portions were sometimes deemed small for the price, with one comment about shrinkflation. Service pace ranged from fast to slow; water refills could be delayed and bill handling was occasionally confusing. Ambiance and a lively bar scene were praised, especially for game nights, yet several groups felt divided experiences due to staff shortages or delays in large groups. Despite the upsides, several guests left suggesting they would return if the value and consistency improved. Overall, La Chambre is seen as having potential with a pleasant atmosphere and decent menu variety, but experiences differ by visit and staff on duty.View restaurant profile
