One of my absolute favourite restaurants in Montreal! Truly incredible Thai food, in a wonderfully welcoming environment. The staff are so friendly & knowledgeable, & the owner, Mathieu, is lovely. I recommend starting with some skewers (chicken satay & shrimp are favourites of mine!), then getting the pad Thai with pork belly & pad pak with some chicken wings, & washing it all down with a refreshing & delicious Cha Yen. & if it's in season the mango sticky rice is to die for.
J'avais entendu parlé de ce restaurant dans un show populaire de radio sportive bien connu & j'étais curieux de l'essayer car j'adore la bouffe Thai.
Malheureusement mon expérience a tourné au désastre.
Dès mon arrivée, j'ai presque glissé dans l'entrée du restaurant sur les tuiles en céramique.
A mon arrivée, la serveuse n'est jamais venu nous voir, n'a jamais expliqué le menu (qui d'ailleurs est vraiment pas clair). On a deviné qu'il fallait aller scanner le code QR pour voir des photos des items au menu (le choix est limité).
On a commandé des cocktails, le mien est arrivé après 5 minutes mais celui de ma compagne a pris 20 minutes ! Un malentendu de la serveuse apparemment. Mon drink avait un cheveu dedans ark. En passant les drinks étaient vraiment pas bon est cher...12-14$
L'endroit est assez vieux & cher pour ce que tu reçois dans ton assiette. Mon curri jaune au poulet a couté 26$ il me semble pour 5 bouchées de poulet, 5 morceaux de carottes & 3 morceaux de pommes de terre (voir photo). Heureusement qu'il y avait du riz au jasmin en forme de coeur ! Je regrette de n'avoir pas commandé le pad thai.... La bouffe était correcte par contre mais la portion si petite que je pense que c'est du vol à ce prix là !
Aussi, nous somme allé exprès pour la St-Valentin (voir promo dans les photos). Aucune mention de cela nul part dans le restaurant ou par la serveuse. C'est comme si ça n'existait pas ! Aucune décoration de St-Valentin & atmosphère moyenne.
Le plat de ma compagne était correct (une soupe avec du poulet), je lui est volé un peu car j'avais encore faim. Aussi nos plats étaient froid.
Bref, expérience très décevante pour 105$. On a salué la serveuse avant de quitter, & elle nous a totalement ignorée.
On n'y retournera plus c'est certain !

Fantastic & authentic vegetarian Thai food - go for the omelette rice & pad thai without fish sauce. The staff was friendly & very kid friendly, the place can get very loud.
Après demande du propriétaire :
La cuisine n'est pas grandiose mais se laisse deguster, pad thaï crevette a 25 dollars hors taxe ras
Le service est un peu lent.
L'ambiance est bonne, les serveurs sont sympathiques & assez arrangeant.
Je ne sais pas si j'y retournerai mais ce n'est pas a fuir non plus 😊
Une superbe découverte !
J'ai été agréablement surprise par ce pub sympathique. Le pad thaï était parfaitement préparé, savoureux & généreux. Le cocktail était tout simplement excellent : bien équilibré, frais & original. Le service était chaleureux, l'ambiance conviviale & la présentation des plats impeccable. Un endroit que je recommande vivement & où je reviendrai avec plaisir !

Great Thai tavern, small bites, Satay's are amazing, maybe best Thai chicken wings I've had, curries, pad Thai, papaya salad all excellent. Good vib music, drinks & wine, & small 8oz beers.
Rencontre fortuite avec le propriétaire Benoit sur sa terrasse qui vantait les mérites de son restaurant & la cuisine de Ying, la cheffe! & grâce à un ami qui m'a poussé à oser, j'ai mangé une des meilleures soupe Tom Kha Ghai & mon conjoint un savoureux Pad Thai
Every dish was exceptionally delicious, starting with the housemade mignonette for the oysters, which was out of this world. The Pad Thai was amazing, boasting incredible flavor & the perfect level of spice. We also loved the skewers-both pork & chicken were juicy & flavorful.
Another highlight was the delicious sausage with coriander, which had a unique taste that we couldn't resist.
We were blown away by the wonderful & creative cocktails.
For dessert, the sticky rice with mango was superb. SUPERB. -we couldn't stop eating it, even whIile already completely full 😅
On top of the incredible food & drinks, the daily beer special ($2.75 for a 6-oz lager), & Wednesday's $1 oysters, made for fantastic deals.
Service was super fast & friendly, making the overall experience even better. We had a wonderful; we highly suggest you go!
I went with a friend late night & we got there about an hour before closing. The service was great everyone working there were friendly & the PAD THAI was really tasty def would go again

We are visiting from the DC area & came here for dinner because it looked like it had a great atmosphere. The food & service was amazing! We were here for trivia on Sunday night & they were willing to translate for us to be able to participate.
We had the Pork Belly special with bok choy, Pad Thai, & Stir Fried Pork. We also had the Sticky Rice, which had the mango in the shape of a flower. It was some of the best Thai food that we have ever had. The cocktails were really good as well.
We would highly recommend this restaurant. The owner & staff were all very friendly & welcoming.
Came here for MTL a table, nice menu. Pad Thai - decent! Crispy pork belly - great but the star was the sauce for this. Homemade sausage - okay. Papaya salad was tough & under seasoned. Century egg with mango was delish but also under seasoned. Would come back.
Great Thai street food at affordable prices. Feels very authentic; I loved their Pad Thai. Great service, team has awesome vibes. I strongly recommend!

CUP MTL is the spot to BE! My siblings & I came here for dinner with a friend on our last day visiting Montréal. They were a vibe! Food was top tier! Anything you order will make you feel satisfied. What we ordered: fried chicken which was fried & flavored to perfection; Shrimp Pad Thai had perfect sweetness & shrimp was great texture. Curry noodle soup was so flavorful! Sea bass soft & delicious. The owners were so sweet & welcoming. The chef was so sweet, you will love her!!! Very authentic Thai restaurant. You won't forget your experience here. Go!!
Nice patio during the summer on the corner of Saint-Denis & Duluth. Tapas-style is great : highly recommend the shrimp wontons & the pork belly, but I wouldn't expect to have a big dinner here. For example, the pad thai was bland, & the papaya salad was quite watery. Otherwise, the cocktails were delish, & I enjoy coming here for a quick snack / little bites.
Very, very mediocre. Every dish was just okay. Apple papaya salad had enormous chunks of apple. Pad thai had almost no noodles?! Chicken massaman was two chicken legs with two rock hard slices of potato. Yikes. It's a cute patio for a drink but the food just isn't it.
Pad thai sauce was sour & tasted like salad dressing, also had thin glass noodles rather than thick pad thai noodles. Portions are very small for the price.
