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!

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.
