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.
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.

Went for the Mtl a Table event. The menu consisted of 2 appetizers, main & dessert, for $50. While the flavors were good, the portions were ridiculously small. My main was 3 little scallops in sauce, no veggies (unless you count the garnish) & no rice. I honestly don't know who would be full after such a main. The appetizers were small too, but I figured that's ok cuz they're appetizers. The salmon tartare was finished in 2 bites. The chicken coconut soup was 1/4 of the bowl full. Luckily I had the mango sticky rice for dessert & got some rice there. The other dessert was also very small, coconut cream in two little disks. Leaving still hungry after paying $50 is not good value in my books.
Ordered take out & picked up the order ourselves. Not sure how much food is served when you sit down at the restaurant, but this is how little green curry there was for 19 dollars, & without even any rice. Extremely expensive for the amount.
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?
Not bad for a quick bite & drinks.

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!
Usually you can't go wrong with Thai food ... but the papaya salad had a very strong fishy taste (beyond just the usual fish sauce), perhaps too many dried shrimps in it. We had meatballs, sausage, fried rice & the chicken satay skewers. Not too bad, but some of the dishes were salty.
Service was okay, nothing exceptional. But most upsetting is the non-compliance to the new Bill 72. The 15% tipping option was off the bottom line & not the'before tax'. Only realized after we walked out from looking at the bill because you barely have time to check the pinpad while its waiting for the payment card to be tapped. Had high expectations, but likely not returning.
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.
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!
