Expérience unique & savoureuse. Les cocktails, la table d'hôte & le service étaient tous excellents. Je suggère fortement la table d'hôte, c'est un menu dégustation extraordinaire.
One of the best places I've eaten. The food is delicious & has tremendous flavors. There isn't one thing on menu that I couldn't eat. It is a must for anyone who want Thai food.

Phenomenal vegan experience. The food is fresh & delicious & the staff is very friendly. We returned a second time during our vacation to enjoy the chocolate cake!
My family & I had a wonderful experience here. The food was super good & the decor was nice. I had the vegan duck red curry with sticky rice & it was delicious! Would recommend the fried shrimp appetizer as well.

Petit resto vegan vraiment mignon. Le service était excellent & rapide. Nous avons pris les cocktails: passion à Bangkok & le MK2, tous les deux délicieux. Les plats étaient savoureux, vraiment statisfaite de ce restaurant :)
Tasty vegan food & attentive, friendly service. We had a vegan'shrimp' dish with eggplant, as well as one with plant-based'beef'. We try to eat here every time we visit Montréal.
we tried several items (tom yum, tom kha, papaya salad, peanut butter dumplings, pad kee mao, ped palo & red curry). the majority of the dishes were ok but our favourite was the pad palo (vegan duck). i've never had a dish like it before but it was amazing!! the pad kee mao was very good too. the service was extremely slow despite the table being reserved only for 2 hours. there were only 2 or 3 waiters & the restaurant was fully packed so it's understandable. our waitress was very patient & kind. 4.5/5 would definitely come back!
Always really good ; my go to are the MK starter & a MK2 drink, always love the padthai or curry coco as a main. The owner is really nice & she accepter to switch the main for the padthai in the table d'hôte menu cause they didn't have what I wanted. A must go for vegans

The vegan duck is scarily reminiscent of the real thing. The texture is perfect, browned & chewy skin, tender & juicy inside. It isn't quite as fatty as real duck, but it is close. The bed of spinach it lays on was the most delicious spinach I have ever had. There is a little garnish of cabbage too. But order another side & maybe rice to fill out your meal. The cucumber salad was ok, tasty but not as flavorful as I was hoping. I also got sticky rice, which came in the tiniest takeout box I have ever seen, which was perfect for one person.
