My family & I had a wonderful experience here. The food was super good & the decor was nice. I had the vegan duck red curry with sticky rice & it was delicious! Would recommend the fried shrimp appetizer as well.

we tried several items (tom yum, tom kha, papaya salad, peanut butter dumplings, pad kee mao, ped palo & red curry). the majority of the dishes were ok but our favourite was the pad palo (vegan duck). i've never had a dish like it before but it was amazing!! the pad kee mao was very good too. the service was extremely slow despite the table being reserved only for 2 hours. there were only 2 or 3 waiters & the restaurant was fully packed so it's understandable. our waitress was very patient & kind. 4.5/5 would definitely come back!

Always really good ; my go to are the MK starter & a MK2 drink, always love the padthai or curry coco as a main. The owner is really nice & she accepter to switch the main for the padthai in the table d'hôte menu cause they didn't have what I wanted. A must go for vegans

Just Wow. I had the beef curry with rice amd let me tell you that this was the best curry I ate. It was delicious well balanced & full of flavour. For the dessert my man had the cashew cream cake with black cherry sauce, it was creamy but light, not too sweet & really I am ditching the cheesecake this is my new favorite cake. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I will definitely come again soon.

As a non-vegan/vegetarian person, can say that this food does not disappoint in any way. Impressive the way the vegan meat is similar to real deal, & the dishes (like the sauce, curry) are kept close to what one would see in other restos.

Exceptional food quality & service! We tried the vegan shrimp appetizer, peanut dumplings, tofu fries, vegan duck curry & tapioca pudding - all were fabulous! Waiters/waitresses were super professional, kind & considerate & very swift. Best place for vegetarians in Montreal!
