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.
Pour vrai, quelle belle découverte, quel bon resto!! La cheffe, Ying, nous fait découvrir les saveurs du Nord de la Thaïlande avec soin & attention. La saucisse, faite maison, est bien relevée & on y retrouve toutes les saveurs typiques! Le pork belly, & sa sauce d'accompagnement sont à s'en lécher les doigts, nul besoin de wet wipes!
Service au bar vraiment accueillant & amical, on s'est sentis chez nous avant même d'avoir enlevé nos manteaux!
À coup sûr une place de choix pour finir la semaine devant une bonne table ou juste grignoter devant une bonne bière!

Came here for a nice late night dinner for 4
& had a great time. The skewer deal for 5 was perfect to share - pork, chicken, & shrimp options, with the pork being our favourite.
Oysters were small but only $1 & topped with fried shallots & a creamy green garlic sauce to die for 🤤. Service was excellent (Pascale & the team gave great recommendations).
Loved the setup - outdoor seating available, & inside has a cozy vibe with big open windows.
Surprised it wasn't busier for a Wednesday because the food, atmosphere, & staff were all on point. We'll be coming back, merci!
Its very okay, i have tried a lot of thai restaurants & this is not the best. I am not sure if its authentic as the waitress didnt know any of the thai meals or plates I mentioned/ ingredients/ etc. Maybe if she was new but the menu is small enough to know it. The kra pow is usually more seasoned, with crispy minced pork but this was mushy & lacking veggies. Ambiance is nice, not authentic but still the inside is beautiful (more of a bar)
Visited this Thai restaurant on Sunday night, Parking was a hassle, & when we arrived at 8:00 PM, the place was empty, which almost made us leave. But we decided to stay & try it out.
We ordered fried pork belly, beef, & fried chicken salad. The pork belly was great, crispy with a tangy dipping sauce. The beef & chicken salad were not bad, both sweet & spicy but tasted pretty similar.
We also tried the mango sticky rice, which was very sweet - sweeter than what I had in Bangkok, with a lot of condensed milk. It seems this place leans toward a sweeter flavor profile.
The place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, with smaller portions that are better for sharing & having drinks. The inside had an odd smell, like it needed some maintenance, maybe sitting outside would be better?
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!
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.
Feels more like a bar than a restaurant, with a hint of stale beer lingering & dim lighting that made it hard to see. I had to use my phone's flashlight to read the menu. We were excited to try this Thai pub, but the main dishes-chicken curry & pork belly-At $25 & $28, were pricey for what came as small portions & nothing particularly memorable. No ustensiles served we had to dig into a pot on the table to find forks & spoon ( no knifes). Luckily, the tapas section saved the night As we were still starving we ordered Satays & a Poutine: At $10, they offered similar portion sizes without the rice & cucomber slices & were much better value. Drinks were also well-priced & a good deal. Overall, I'd say skip the mains, go for drinks & tapas instead!
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.
