Everything was delicious! We ordered the pork leg, fried chicken with jasmine rice, & the Pad Thai, & every dish was packed with flavor. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about the food.

We paired our meal with a Thai milk tea & a mango juice from the fridge, & both were a great match. The portions are generous, so the prices feel like excellent value for the quality & amount of food you get.

If you're looking for authentic Thai food with big portions & great flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit. With rare Thai restaurant around Montreal, this is definitely one of the best & authentic ones!

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Sainte-Catherine Est. Nous avons passé un moment vraiment agréable & la qualité de la nourriture nous a impressionnés.

Les assiettes sont généreuses & colorées. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la fraîcheur des concombres tranchés qui accompagnaient mon plat, un petit détail qui fait toute la différence. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un repas simple & savoureux. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Pad Thai was great, but I felt like it was missing an extra punch! Pad Krapow was good. Paid extra for the fried egg as it wasn't included. It was unfortunately overcooked/not runny.

I wish the other noodle dishes were made with rice noodles instead of udon, which deters me from trying any of these dishes.

Overall a good restaurant adapted to its neighborhood.
