Reviews describe Boonlaï as a popular spot for fresh, authentic Thai flavors, with generous portions and fair prices, paired with friendly, efficient service and a warm, casual atmosphere; the menu shines with staples like Pad Thai, mango salad, and Tom Yam soup, and both takeout and dining in are praised for quality and speed, though a few dishes are noted to benefit from different noodles or a bit more spice.
Was in the area & stumbled upon this gem. The food are all very nicely presented & have the great taste to back it up! I highly recommend their curry, every rich in flavor, creamy & quite coconut-y.
The pad thai was OK, I find it a bit too sweet, too wet & the shrimps were a tiny bit undercooked.
This place is definitely worthy of at least 4.5 stars, 2 complaints I have is that the food wasn't hot (temperature wise) enough & the undercooked shrimps. However, their good portion more then enough make up for it.
I'll decently come back again with my wife next time. When in doubt go with their curry. 👍🏻👍🏻
On aime tout du menu, & en plus c'est dans Hochelaga! Pour avoir été en Thaïlande quelques temps, c'est le resto qui se rapproche le plus des saveurs de là-bas!! Les assiettes sont généreuses, les plats sont savoureux & en plus ils ont de la bière locale de l'Espace public. Le service pour emporter est vraiment rapide (tu peux commander en attendant le 439).
Meilleur pad thaï! Tout est savoureux omg. Les won ton frit aussi la sauce est délicieuse. Je seconde un autre commentaire qui mentionne que certains plats devraient contenir des nouilles de riz plutôt que des udons.
Great take out joint in the neighborhood offering authentique thai cuisines & classics. The portions are big, pricing is fair & the food is extremely fresh. We have come on a couple occasions for the pad thai & tried a fried chicken & rice dish. Everything is flavorful & cooked with care.
The menu is not too big, just enough variety for you to try a taste of thailand & want to come back again.
There is seating on site but the vibe is more for takeout.
C'est tellement apprécié que ce restaurant ait ouvert tout près de chez moi! J'ai seulement essayé le pad thai au poulet jusqu'à maintenant, qui était sublime. Portion généreuse, prix raisonnable... Ne passez pas à côté! Edit: le pad krapow était plein de saveurs, & au poulet haché cette fois-ci! La petite soupe en entrée était sweet & veloutée, encore un succès. J'y serai souvent!
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.

Excellentes soupes, pad thaï & autres bons plats très savoureux ! Proprio très sympathique ! Bière Ippon de la microbrasserie Avant-garde. Joli décor. Un incontournable dans le quartier !
Came at the recommendation of a friend & it did not disappoint!! I'm a vegetarian so I was glad to see there were plenty of veggie options for me. I ordered the veggie Pad Thai & mango salad & they were delicious!! Very flavorful & generous amount. My friends all enjoyed their orders as well. I have no complaints honestly. I will definitely come back to try their other items!
Charmant Restaurant ou vous pourrez savourer des plats Thai à des prix raisonnables. Nous avons commandé un poulet croustillant & son riz frit ainsi qu'un Pad Thai. Le service a été rapide & sympa & les plats étaient chaud & tout simplement délicieux. Une adresse à retenir si vous êtes dans le quartier. Nous recommandons à 100%
