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!

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.

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. 👍🏻👍🏻
