This is a really cute Thai pub. Great look, great atmosphere. Great for a date or dinner with friends. We ordered the shrimp Curry which was our favorite thing. The Pad Thai was a big let down & just tasted too sweet & lacked a complexity of flavor Pad Thai usually delivers. The curry on the other hand delivered rich Thai flavors & a wonderful presentation. I tried the mango sticky drink made to pay tribute to the dessert of the same name. It tasted sublime & came with a rice pudding lollipop which had my inner child totally light up. The flavors were marvelous but for 14$ a glass I felt a bit ripped off when I found my glass was mostly ice & so I got maybe 4-5 sips out of this. Maybe serving it in a highball glass (mine was a small lowball glass) with less ice would feel more fair? Beautiful joint on a beautiful street but better come by foot because it's a crazy challenge finding parking in that area.
Ça me déçoit un peu de devoir faire une critique négative sur ce resto car je dois dire que le service (la serveuse) était exceptionnel.
Cependant, pour ce qui est de la nourriture, ç'était très décevant. Les arachides « piquantes » , représentés avec un piment fort dans le menu ne sont pas piquantes du tout. Je dirais peut être salés, mais encore.
Les repas principaux arrivent & mon plat, le Pad Thai était froid & plus que ordinaire. Je ne comprends pas d'ailleurs car il n'y avait que 3 tables occupées sur la terrasse & une table occupée à l'intérieur. Sans exagération, j'aurais été plus satisfait avec un Pad Thai du Thai Express.
Pour ce qui est du Fried Pork Belly, c'était gouteux à cause des épices & assez croustillant, mais si c'est supposé sortir de la friteuse, encore une fois, ce n'était pas chaud du tout. Pas suffisamment de sauce pour manger la quantité de riz blanc qui vient avec.
La sangria rouge était très bonne mais nous ne sommes pas pas venu pour les drinks mais plutôt pour la bouffe qui nous as énormément déçu pour 100$+
Really wanted to like it but I was disappointed for several reasons. We liked the cocktails but not much else to be honest.
- the restaurant does not cater to vegetarians at all. Their vegetarian dishes contain fish sauce (which can't be removed from the dishes). Also the pad Thai & fried rice can't be made without egg. I find it very disappointing that you don't cater to vegetarians.
- the food came out at different timings. Yes, we understand sharing principle but I feel like a little more effort could have been made to time the dishes better
- we ordered the chef special, we then got told 10 mins later that it wasn't available. Our next favourite dish also wasn't available. Also unfortunate.
- we ordered two curries, one (vegetarian) red curry came in a fish sized plate & the green chicken curry came in a little bowl. Random. Also, the curry seemed more like soup than a creamy curry. Disappointing. Also the rice could have been served nicer
- as we asked to pay the bill the waitress did not know what we ordered, so we had to tell her.
- we ordered a second drink that never came, clearly this was forgotten
At the end, whilst paying, around 9pm. There was a MOUSE running freely in the restaurant. Sorry but that is disgusting. The waitress said this is a normal Montreal restaurant issue but come on. A MOUSE IN A RESTAURANT. This seems very unhygienic.
Sorry, I'm not coming back. I will go to HUM, next door next time.

Stumbled upon this place in search of a Friday lunch, & I was pleasantly surprised on how tasty & authentic the food was. I highly recommend the lunch special that's reasonably priced. Ask for the wine list, it's not on the drink menu. Service was super welcoming & engaging.
I ordered the papaya salad & five (5) satay skewers, which were quite filling even without any carbohydrates. For drinks, the Mango Sticky cocktail is a unique & interesting option to try. The cocktail menu's creative naming adds a playful touch & makes every drink sound worth trying..
Owners are incredibly friendly, an incredibly welcoming & Fun atmosphere with an amazing staff , would definitely come again during the world Cup season. the food is probably is the best Thai food in Montreal & the drinks were amazing!
We had a very disappointing & frustrating experience. The table d'hôte wasn't transparent on its content: neither the waiter nor the menu explicitly said that the soup was to be shared, especially for its price. The food took 1 hour & a half to come, & it was lukewarm. We told the waiter that the rice was cold & he just put it in the microwave. The drink came in a tin can which could pose a risk of cutting us. We have notified the waiter that a member of our party was allergic to peanuts & yet, he got a an allergic reaction from the food.
The food is soooooo good! We ordered grilled chicken with eggplant dip & also their house-made sausage. I'm Thai, I would prefer my dishes to be extra spicy but other than that everything was just perfect. The drink I ordered is so good. I can taste a hint of melon in it. The staff is very friendly, even the chef greeted us at the table. Great job to the whole team. I will definitely be back. 👍🏼
