The interior provides a relaxed atmosphere suitable for exploring plant-based interpretations of Southeast Asian staples. Every dish demonstrates meticulous preparation, ensuring that each component contributes to a balanced and flavorful experience that challenges conventional perceptions of meat-free eating while delivering substantial, satisfying portions that honor the culinary traditions of Thailand.

très bon comme toujours, mais les plats principaux étaient un peu trop piquants à mon goût!

The more I think about it the more I am impressed. The restaurant was packed. Not a seat available, not even at the bar & yet the food was impeccable & the servers didn't miss a beat (the server with the necklace was downright delightful).

I'll sum it up this way: After being told we needed to eat quickly as we had the table only until X time (odd way of saying Hi to a customer), we were left without service & the rest of our meal until we had to repeatedly flag someone down...& still almost left without the rest of our meal.

Lemongrass soup & mains were terrific. Sauce heavy on the salad & chicken skewer but the sauces were well done. Overall special menu was a great success. Great service thank you

Because there are 3 seatings in an evening, everything was excellent but fast. I had the feeling that I had to eat & go.

Le serveur qui nous a annoncé qu'il était temps de partir manquait de tact.

This restaurant was the saving grace of our Montreal trip. We had been having a hard time finding good Vegetarian food until here. Service was an amazing, cozy atmosphere, packed restaurant. Food was very tasty, however portions of entrees were on the smaller side for price as well tofu & eggplant dish was simple in taste & technique compared to other places I've gotten it from. We got the dumpling in peanut sauce, le tiger cocktail, pad Thai & tofu & eggplant. I wanted to get the fried banana dessert but when asked the dessert selection it wasn't offered.
