J'ai amené une amie végétarienne à ce resto que je savais survivante du massacre de la rue St-Denis & de la pandémie & j'ai adoré. On n'a pris que des Thaipas & c'était vraiment fun, on a pu goûter à 6 plats différents, vraiment tous différents, aucune répétition en saveurs. Je suggère à tous de toujours partager les plats pour optimiser une expérience au resto puisqu'on y va pas si souvent pis qu'on ne peut jamais critiquer un resto à partir d'un seul plat mangé. Les cocktails étaient étonnamment bons, ils complémentent bien les plats thai. J'ai pris 3 drinks! Le staff était vraiment gentil & le service était bon. J'y reviendrai. Très différents des autres restos asiatiques & pas cher pour l'expérience! On retrouve pas ça ailleurs.

Excellent restaurant ....& it's vegan!!!!
One person in our party was not vegan but absolutely loved everything he ate. He said he was definitely going to come back with other non vegan friends.
All the mock meats were just delicious. In fact, we all very much enjoyed every dish we ordered. FYI, we ordered around 24 items from starters to dessert.... No drinks except a hot ginger tea.
It's on the pricier side but well worth it especially when sharing your meal with wonderful company.
Oh & the service & ambiance was GREAT too!

Super bon, bonne ambiance, très bon service! 4 étoiles, car le prix était tout de même assez dispendieux selon la quantité pour 2 personnes.
