Best restaurant I tried in MTL. I had several Thai & Vegan Thai food & this one is above most. each of the menu items look texture & flavour were on point. The beef fish & prawns are so creatively recreated in a plant based version.

FIRST OF ALL, I DONT KNOW VEGAN CAN TASTE SO DELICIOUS. this is even my favourite thai

J'ai commandé le plat PLA-KHING (poisson végétal à la vapeur avec sauce soja & gingembre), & c'était très délicieux ; j'ai beaucoup apprécié les saveurs fraîches & bien équilibrées. La portion était adéquate, ce que j'ai trouvé excellent. Je suggérerais juste de réduire un peu le gingembre pour qu'il ne domine pas trop les autres saveurs, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était une expérience excellente. De plus, le riz était très bon, & sa présentation dans un petit sac de paille était un détail charmant qui m'a transmis une sensation de fraîcheur & m'a fait penser à la Thaïlande. L'ambiance du restaurant m'a paru très agréable, chaleureuse & tranquille, bien qu'elle ait un aspect un peu "vide". Peut-être qu'il manquait de décoration, surtout avec plus de plantes, ce qui pourrait lui donner une touche plus accueillante. De plus, l'hôte & le serveur étaient très aimables & sympathiques, ce qui a ajouté à l'expérience. J'ai également commandé le cocktail'Thaijito', mais il ne m'a pas vraiment impressionné. Le verre était un peu petit, & je suggérerais de remplacer le citron artificiel par du jus de citron naturel pour rehausser encore plus les saveurs. Merci pour l'expérience !"

Still my favorite Thai place in Montreal, vegan or otherwise. Flavors are on point - the dumpling sauce is some of the best I've had - & the restaurant itself is nice & modern. Good, efficient, friendly service. However, the prices have shot way up & the serving side has gone down (the price for a tiny bowl of fried spinach is unreal). Stick to mains instead of entrees.

Busy place, food was ok. Overhyped in my opinion. Everything is vegan - enjoyed the mango salad, fresh rolls & pad Thai. 'beef' was ok. You can choose your spice level. Full house, gets very loud & uncomfortable as you cannot even hear the person next to you. People were literally shouting. Very Bad acoustics & very dark inside the restaurant, hence the 1 star for ambiance. Felt like a cafeteria. Server described their service as faster than mcdonalds...lol wasn't too sure about anything after that comment.

My favourite vegan restaurant in montreal. By far the best vegan Thai food you will ever have! Delicious peanut butter dumplings & 3 flavours (imitation) beef. Soy (Imitation) duck with spinach is also delicious! An absolute must try if you haven't been yet!

We got the Thai Princess drink, dumplings in peanut sauce (Kiao satay), the vegan chicken skewers (Gai Satay), the vegan beef in 3 flavor sauce (Neua Sam Rod), the eggplant & vegan shrimp (koung pad makere). I would recommend the Gai Satay & the Neua Sam Rod, it was really flavorful & the vegan beef had a nice crispy texture. I'm personally not a fan of the shrimp texture, which was probably made with konjac jelly. I've been here before & tried the crispy vegan duck & would highly recommend it as well. The ambience is really cozy & chic. The staff is really friendly & explained all the dishes we were curious about. I would visit again!

Best vegan thai food I have eaten

As a lacto ovo vegetarian, vegan restaurants are a special haven for me, given that I can order anything & everything, no holds barred. I had the spring rolls & pad Thai & I have to say this was just some of the best Thai food & vegan food that I've had. It was a good omen from the get-go. My mom & I didn't have reservations (albeit we did walk in after 8pm on Saturday eve) & we were seated right away. Staff were extremely friendly & attentive without being over-bearing. The spring rolls weren't fried & were wrapped in rice paper (this was a plus for me as I'm always trying for healthier options). Although the rolls were cold, they came with a warm peanut sauce. We ended the night with the vegan cheesecake & I can honestly say we were left feeling light, well-fed, & full of endorphins! Highly recommend!
