It used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But the quality of the dishes has gone way down, & the prices (which were already high) have gone WAY UP. In short, it shows that the owner is only interested in making money. I can't recommend.

I would be lying to anyone if I said there's a more classic vegan restaurant in Montreal. First came here in 1999, it's been on my mind ever since. I now eat here three times a week. Just the best!

Went first time to this place as my friend chose it. It was my treat for her birthday. Must say, was mighty impressed with the awesome food & truly exceptional service. They also remembered from the conversation that it was my friend's birthday & surprised her with a candle on the dessert chocolate cake she ordered! Overall a wonderful experience & would definitely recommend. Meat eaters will not miss the meat.

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.
