The Som Tum here is absolute perfection! Refreshing, crunchy, & packed with authentic flavors. It pairs so well with every main dish. Highly recommend adding it to your order! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Late stop on a weeknight, outside terrace, had an amazing mango salad followed by a red curry fish, everything was amazing, highly recommend the mango salad & the service was excellent, very friendly.
SO YUMMY! I find it challenging to get good Thai food in Montreal, & this place made my year when I discovered it. Their lunch specials are delicious & affordable. My favorite used to be beef & eggplant until they swapped that out & I tried the cashew tofu. Out of this world! The ambiance is great, they have a patio in the summertime & although it gets jampacked with people, the servers are always on top of their game. Highly recommend!
My boyfriend & I went last night & it was an amazing experience. For drinks I got the lychee martini, compared to other places this one was the best. My bf got the coconut water & it was sweet a refreshing. We ordered the duck app & sweet & sour wings. The duck was a little salty but still delicious. Wings had the perfect crunch & amount of sauce on them. We both ordered the pad Thai, would have given 5 stars but one of us got the wrong protein in our main dish & it came a little too early we still hadn't finished our appetizers. Nonetheless, service & food was amazing & i would recommend & will be returning !
We went for an end of year work supper. The service was great. The food was sooo tasty (& I am a food snob). Generous portions at a really good price. I whole heartedly recommend this place. They were very flexible with people's preferences & intolerances as well (vegan options & gluten-free). I have NO negative comment about this place. You should go !
I recently dined at Bangkok Express & was truly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting, blending traditional Thai decor with a modern touch. The staff were friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. As for the food-it was exceptional! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly balanced with fresh ingredients & spices. We ordered Imperial roll, spring roll, dimpsums, general bbk, Udon noodles & Green curry. Whether you're a fan of Thai cuisine or new to it, this restaurant offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Thai food!"
Wow! Such an amazing dining experience! The service is really good, the workers are very sweet even when they seem stressed & when busy . The food was very delicious & fast. I totally recommend Bangkok express ! Phad Thai is a must ! The Choo-Chee aswell thought it takes more time, super worth it !
Came here during Imagine Monkland, this street had an amazing vibe, so we got a terrace seat. Food was great, didn't have to wait long, & the price is pretty much average of what you would expect nowadays. However, what's best here was the stellar service. People that worked here were super friendly & efficient. I haven't had such great service in a really long time. They seemed like they genuinely love the job, so good on them. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
