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$+
Came to this place because of the Google rating of 4.6. Ordered the green curry & the beef salad chef's special. The verdict: the portions were much smaller than we expected for the price especially having gone to other Thai places in the neighborhood. They looked like tapas rather than full plates which would have been ok were it not for the price tag. If you like the spicy side of Thai food - this is NOT the place you want to go. Everything was very mild even as someone who isn't looking to burn their face off lol. The cocktails were decent. Service was great: our server was informed & attentive. IMO you're mostly paying for their location on Duluth.
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.

Bouffe, excellente, portion, copieuse & service super! Juliette nous a servi sur la terrasse & vraiment elle a été de bons conseils & elle a été géniale. Je vais retourner à cet endroit assurément, je vous recommande le plateau thaï dégustation.
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.
Oliver gives great service :p …. This restaurant has amazing tapas type Thai food. High quality for a great price!!! The vibe of the restaurant is amazing. Great music, ambiance & on Duluth street: the best!!! I've been here 5+ times, & I keep coming back 😊
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.
Hidden gem, surprised it's not one of the most highly rated restaurant in Montreal. Food is authentic in taste, portions are huge & the atmosphere & staff is just the cherry on top of the sundae. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the true taste of Thailand outside of Thailand.
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!
I can't say rather if this is the best thai spot in Montreal, but it surely is my favourite. I loved everything that I had. It was spicy but at the same time, there is a scent of authenticity with the spices that they are using here. The foods had an accent that I couldn't find in other thai places, which I absolutely love it.
