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.
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!

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.
This is not a thai restaurant, Its a bar that happens to serve thai food. You can tell the difference.
We went to this place after a show at LaFontaine park, I am always on the look for good thai places in Montreal & got so happy to find this place open late at night but man oh man we were disappointed.
I called the place & asked if they have vegan sauce. They said yes. If you have visited Thai restaurants, you know they always have Veg/Vegan & then also Meat & Fish options.
But seems untrue for this place. I ordered Fried rice vegetables & they served with Chicken. I asked the server oh they forgot. Not a problem they changed it but the replacement had fried eggs, not sure in what dictionary or cuisine eggs are vegetable. Please note the dish wasn't named vegetarian it was called vegetable. I understand in some places people consider egg as vegetarian but not vegetable I guess
Anyway when asked the server was so rude. Special mention to Lucy for showing no empathy whatsoever. I ended up paying for full dish, joke part is they added 4$ for chicken & I had to ask them to remove it.
Its just a bar & not competent as a restaurant.
Overall we were highly disappointed because mishaps happen but server & her peers didn't appear to be bothered by our poor experience.
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.
This was my first time trying Thai food & it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend & I got the Hello Thaïlande for $78 + a Thai tea & it felt like the perfect introduction to this type of cuisine. You get small portions of a bunch of different dishes all on one plate. Meats, sauces, red or green curry, rice & a papaya salad. The presentation is stunning too, as you can see in the picture.
It is a bit expensive BUT the whole concept is to let you try a bunch of things all at once, so it makes total sense &, in my opinion, it's completely worth it for a first time. The restaurant itself is really pretty & the staff were all incredibly nice.
I found myself thinking about the food the next day. I will be coming back. Thank you:)
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.
