Honestly one of my favourite vegan restaurants. I love everything on the menu, so tasty & delicious. I brought my meat lovers, & they LOVED everything we had, they said that it tasted very very good & they would go again.
I recommend this restaurant to anyone, meat lovers, vegetarian, vegans etc… you won't be disappointed.
Service was excellent too, the atmosphere is welcoming, a must try if you're in the area 🙌🏽

Absolutely love this place!! Will always come back when visiting Montreal. The vegan food is made to perfection, flavorful with many options to choose from. I would give it 6 stars if I could!
Ma fille m'a invité découvrir ce resto Thaï. Wao, Belle découverte! Nous avons commandé Salade de mangue, Dumplings sauce aux arachides, Panang Neua & le Canard vegan. Tout délicieux. Excellent service. J'ai hâte de retourne
One of the best & authentic Thai food in Montreal. Their red curry & green curry are too good! I was dreaming about it 2 days after I had the food. Their vegan chicken skewers are amazing with ting of lemon! I recommend the place every single time. It gets really crowded in the summer, so call to reserve.
Went on a Friday evening. Sat at the bar as I was by myself. The staff is very nice & friendly. Cereal gave me recommendations for places to visit in Montreal!
I had the Tom Yum & the Crispy Duck. The Tom Yum lacked depth in flavors but the crispy duck was too good! I had never had something like this in vegan food before
Definitely worth a visit if you are in Montreal

Un des meilleurs restaurants vegan de Montréal selon moi. Les plats sont excellents & originaux. C'est incroyable la créativité que le monde végétal rend possible; un voyage pour les papilles. Le service est irréprochable.
Yummy vegan thai food. The peking duck was really good so was the curry & the mushroom app.
The guy who looks like Slash was our waiter & he was super cool!
Amazing vegan Thai food for meat lovers! The faux beef & duck tasted like the real thing. Not to mention the curries & noodles which were made to culinary perfection. Would go back again & again.
The place was absolutely great. For a vegan place, there was a lot of food I thought were actually meat. We had the set menu & I'll definitely go back to try other combinations.
The staff was great & attentive.

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.
Visited without a reservation & were informed that we could be seated in a table but had 1 hour to order & eat our food. It gets really packed & can feel a bit loud. Food was delicious, I'm not a vegetarian & really enjoyed the experience. I had a vegan beef in yellow curry that tasted like real beef. Would definitely visit again, but next time I'll make a reservation.
Première fois que j'essaie un restaurant vegane & j'ai été impressionné! La nourriture était savoureuse & le service excellent. J'y retournerai, c'est certain!
We didn't book a table so we got seated at the bar, we were very ok with that, but we could see a boiling kettle just in front of us, some dishrags standing there, & the decor was not really nice over there, you didn't feel like you were in a top rated vegan restaurant. The menus they gave us, both were in bad condition, deteriorated, & some prices were put on top of the oldest ones with stickers & pen, with not care regarding the color of the original menu, not giving a good impression. However, the food was great! We didn't have to wait. I ordered the Kari Neua & steamed rice, which were very tasty, & the portions were great. I couldn't order a dessert after that, but will come back soon to try one. Drinks were not great though, just "meh".
