Reviews of Thai Express present a mixed picture: some diners praise the meals, especially a Pad See Ew described as the best at the chain with perfectly cooked noodles, crunchy vegetables, and no extra sauce; others report a cold dining room, a tough chicken in soup, a strong bathroom odor, and dirty floors along with English language barriers. Food is generally considered good and service sometimes praised as efficient, with some calling it the best Thai in Montreal, although a cashew dish is criticized for missing meat and a nearby customer notes a lack of spice despite asking for very spicy, leaving them disappointed and unlikely to return. A French language review notes fast service and consistent taste but also an impersonal feel and variable presentation, plus an unwelcoming dining area, suggesting that the brand could improve the human and visual aspects of the experience. A small positive mention exists for a lemon iceberg dessert. Overall the sentiment spans solid dishes and quick service at times, tempered by issues with temperature, ambience, consistency between locations, and occasional quality problems.View restaurant profile

Overall, reviews portray B12 Burger as delivering big, juicy burgers with generous portions and fresh ingredients that many say are worth the price, with frequent praise for friendly, attentive service and a lively, casual atmosphere. Yet some experiences note areas to improve, including a burnt oil smell and high saltiness, inconsistent bread quality, and meals that don’t always blend toppings as well as expected, sometimes paired with long wait times. The menu is seen as diverse and appealing, including halal options and a range of standout items like a buffalo chicken burger, with many tasters calling it among the best burger places in the area and promising to return. In sum, B12 Burger is viewed as a strong choice for burger lovers seeking substantial portions, good value, and fresh ingredients, while a few visits suggest paying attention to consistency in service and bread preparation.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Poke Cabana as a fresh, flavorful poke spot with generous portions and a wide range of bowls, from Moana to Salmon Limo Poke, plus plenty of toppings and solid vegetarian options, all set in a calm, Hawaii inspired atmosphere with consistently friendly staff. Many diners praise the high quality of ingredients, the balance of flavors, and the ability to customize bowls, along with reliable takeout, reasonable prices, and discounts for students and healthcare workers. The vibe, decor, and cleanliness are repeatedly highlighted as appealing, with late hours a plus for night owls. There are some mixed notes, including a few bowls such as chicken karaage or takoyaki not meeting expectations, occasional soy sauce saltiness, and bubble tea that can be watered down, but overall reviews crown it as one of the better poke experiences in the area and many say they would return.View restaurant profile
