The thai food here was so authentic! Every dish from appetizers to main course & desserts, have so much depth & flavour! We lovee the grilled shrimps, satay chicken, thai basil pork, pad thai, & mango sticky rice. great amount of food & they are generous on proteins. The service was outstanding! Wr just can't wait to return!
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.

Le tilapia avait une ridiculement petite quantité de viande pour le prix & était sec (ma copine avait encore très faim après son repas). Les pad thai & riz frit étaient correct, sans plus. Le service était lent, 4 plats principaux sont arrivés & on a dû attendre encore une dizaine de minutes pour les 3 autres.
Ate some of the best Thai food that I've had here this evening. The staff are really nice, inside is cute & comfy, outside there's a really nice patio. The menu is purposely small so they can do a really nice job on everything. We had the green curry, pad Thai, & fried rice. All were delicious. The curry & PT were especially special.
On se promenait sur le Plateau un lundi soir quand un jeune homme nous a gentiment invités à entrer dans le restaurant. Ce jeune homme, Olivier, a aussi été notre serveur tout au long de la soirée.
Merci d'être venu nous parler, sinon on serait probablement passés tout droit!
Quelle belle découverte! La nourriture était incroyable. Le Pad Thaï est facilement l'un des meilleurs qu'on ait mangés, & le Krapow... tout simplement wow!
Un gros merci à Olivier pour son accueil chaleureux & son excellent service. On reviendra sans hésiter!
The location, the food, the service. Everything everything checks every box for a night out in the city. I can't recommend enough the green curry & the pad Thai. Classics done right. The bartender Mathieu & waitress Lucy were amazing, great recommendations, & really nice. 10/10!
What wonderful dining experience. The decoration is amazing, casual & laid back. Our waitress Lucy welcomed us warmly & regularly checked in on us to see if we we're okay. & don't get me started on the food, the pad thaï was delicious! 5/5 I strongly recommend this place
Les parfums de la Thaïlande à leur meilleur! Un rendez-vous pour les nostalgiques voyageurs de ce pays qui veulent un Padthai digne de ce nom!! La cuisine authentique & savoureuse de la chef Ying est tout simplement exceptionnelle & unique à Montréal. La saucisse est aussi un incontournable & secret familial… delishhh!
