Ça fait du bien de pouvoir manger du thaï végé sur un menu complet. J'ai accompagné mon repas d'un bière du Dispensaire. 5/5 sur tous les aspects.

Definitely one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Montreal! I mostly order from UberEATS as it's my number 1 go-to when I don't have time to cook. Whatever I order it's always amazingly tasty & fresh. I went once to eat at the restaurant with a non-vegan friend he said it was the best pad thai he ever had. I try to taste different dishes, but the spicy fried rice with basil is always in the mix.

Vegan Thai with plenty of options which are all tasty. Almost all plates contain a meat replacer, ranging from beef over chicken to shrimps. Level of spicyness is rather Canadian than Thai so you do not have to be afraid to order a two pepper marked meal.

Sweet sweet sweet. The entire menu is a deep fried sweet dessert. Wonder how Montrealers like such sugary Thai food. It is very insulting to the wonderful cuisine of Thailand ruined by another wannabe restaurant. Overhyped.
