Thai Grill Asian Soups

Review Summary

Le Petit Dek Sen is described as delivering authentic Thai flavors with a homey, family run feel, where tofu and vegetarian options are standout and spice levels can be adjusted to taste; the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly and the space is clean, though a few reviews note a work in progress on vibes and a repetitive music track. Service is usually polite and efficient for appetizers, but occasional delays for mains are blamed on a busy kitchen and online orders, with delivery reported as delicious when it arrives. The restaurant is regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, good for casual dine in or takeout, with portions that satisfy and flavors that can evoke Thailand, inviting repeat visits from diners seeking authentic Thai cuisine.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Cafe Kokiri is described as a cute cafe with authentic Korean coffee and a strong lineup of dishes like bulgogi banh mi and Korean hotdogs. Reviews praise its bingsu, including a strawberry version with chewy rice cakes and corn flakes, and a cream croffle that many find irresistible. Generous portions stand out, whether with the bulgogi banh mi, bulgogi rice bowl with spicy mayo, or tteokbokki that can be adjusted for spice. The cafe's cozy vibe, lo fi music, cute interior, and a photo booth contribute to a welcoming, study friendly atmosphere. Friendly, attentive service is noted as timely without being overbearing, helping guests feel comfortable and able to work or relax. A few items receive softer notes, such as the small cup for the small sized bingsu that feels uncomfortable, and a tteokbokki that may be too salty if the sugar is missing. Overall the reviews present Cafe Kokiri as an affordable, varied, and appealing spot for drinks, meals and desserts with a homey, comforting feel.View restaurant profile
