Absolument succulent! Les spring rolls sont merveilleux, le pad thai très goûteux & le sticky rice est délicieux. On a adoré notre expérience, je recommande fortement!

Presentation of the plates are also a differentiation which turned our meal a real Thai experience in Montréal. I do recommend Bistro Ona & looking forward to be back with family & friends very soon!

Le meilleur resto Thaï que j'ai visité depuis longtemps. Belle ambiance, service courtois, la cuisine parfaite & authentique! Sans oublié les prix raisonnables, ça fait du bien par les temps qui courent!
I visited the restaurant on DJ night. The vibe was great. I started off with Tomyum soup. The portion was perfect for appertizer. Then I ordered Pad Thai shrimp. It tasted like real street food in Thailand. Highly recommended to visit!
I'm not an expert on Thai food, but everything on my plate brought me straight back to Southeast Asia, for sure! We tried perfectly crispy spring rolls, a very yummy tom yum with tofu, & a tofu curry where, in my opinion, the coconut milk didn't overwhelm or compete with other flavors on the plate. I would've preferred larger pieces of tofu to create a better contrast between the crispy exterior & soft interior, but that's simply a personal preference! Oh, & it's worth noting that the presentation was beautiful, & the atmosphere was lovely, too; in fact, I'm pretty sure they dimmed the lights as the evening went on, which was a nice touch.
However, it was difficult not to allow the service to overshadow everything I noted above. We had a 6:30 reservation but weren't seated until 7:30; to be fair, we arrived a few minutes late ourselves, so we left our number & walked around nearby. Still, an hour wait on a snowy night wasn't ideal!
Our mains also came out separately without a warning or heads-up, so I ended up waiting to eat while my partner's fish sat visible on the kitchen counter for several minutes before anyone brought it out. We also dealt with three different staff members over the course of the meal, which made things feel disjointed.
I wouldn't hesitate to come back because there's clearly a ton of love & intention behind the food, & I have no doubt the experience as a whole will soon come together with a bit more time.
Très bonne découverte! Les plats proposés le soir étaient très bon. Je recommande particulièrement le pad thaï, les crevettes à la sauce tamarin & la salade de mangue. Le personnel est très accueillant & ils sont capables d'adapter les plats selon vos préférences.
C'est un restaurant auquel je retournerais avec plaisir.
My boyfriend & I had Thai food here last night & it was incredible! It was so good we were still talking about it the next day. He had the red curry i had tofu pad thai :) both really great

Restaurant tout nouveau pour un souper à 4 en famille. Décor & aménagement très agréables & soignés avec miroir au plafond. Cela permet .de voir la cheffe su fond de la salle préparer les plats. Atmosphère calme & feutrée ce soir sans musicien. Accueil chaleureux & attentif de la serveuse er de la cheffe. Carte variée de cuisine Thai mais sans trop de plats ce qui facilite le choix. A 4 nous avons pu goûter plusieurs plats différents tous très bien présentés, bien prépares, très, riches en goût & avec des portions généreuses. Nous n'avons pas tenté les désserts, nous etions repus. Entrée + plat + coktail autour de 40 -50 dollars par personne donc trés bon rapport qualite/prix. Une bonne soirée.
I recently spent a full day at Bistro Ona during a photo & video shoot & had the chance to try several dishes. It was a fantastic experience.
The interior is elegant & beautifully designed, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The team is very professional, attentive, & clearly pays attention to every detail.
The dishes are presented with real elegance & the flavours are authentically Thai. Vibrant, balanced, & full of character. Everything looked beautiful & tasted just as good. The cocktails are also excellent & clearly crafted with care.
A great addition to the Boulevard Saint-Laurent dining scene. Definitely worth a visit. 🍸🍜
Quel bonheur de découvrir ce nouveau restaurant !
L'accueil est chaleureux & le service agréable & efficace. Les plats sont savoureux, pleins de fraîcheur & préparés avec soin. Ils offrent un choix varié de plats typiques de la cuisine thaïe avec des sauces & mélange d'ingrédients wow !!
Ce bistrot est idéal pour passer un bon moment entre amis ou en famille sans dépenser une fortune ! Dans le coin, ça devient rare pour une belle qualité.
