Delicious food & great service! To start, we had the het waan krob (breaded crispy mushrooms, which were sooooo good), & the kari puff (which, admittedly, I would have liked with a sauce). For our main course, we had the royal pad thai & the kang daeng ped, which were both so rich & succulent! They nailed the vegan shrimp taste & texture. I couldn't really tell the difference between the tofu & vegan chicken, but it was still tasty. The staff were really friendly & quick, & the whole place was clean & classy.

Overall excellent dining experience for our first night in Montreal for the Jazz festival. My SO is a vegan & loved the duck which looked & tasted so good. The shrimp made from coconut was a surprise hit. The pad thai was made just right with a balanced taste. Will definitely return whenever we visit Montreal again.

Nous sommes allés souper pour mon anniversaire & j'ai vraiment adoré! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse, j'ai eu un gros coup de coeur pour la soupe Tom Kha & j'ai trouvé les portions généreuses. Nous avions pris des pad thai, certains repas par contre ne viennent pas avec accompagnement, donc je crois que certaines portions sont plus petites. Pour ce qui est de la bouffe & l'ambiance, j'y retournerais sans hésiter! Mon seul petit commentaire est le fait qu'il faisait vraiment très chaud dans le resto. Nous avons choisi de manger à l'intérieur pour être au frais, mais finalement en quittant le resto je ne me sentais pas super bien parce que j'avais trop chaud. Je sais que nous sommes en pleine canicule, mais je pense aussi au personnel, ça doit être vraiment dur pour eux. Ça ne m'empêchera pas d'y retourner, la bouffe vaut vraiment le détour!
