Dek Sen Cuisine Thaïlandaise is widely viewed as a cozy, welcoming Montreal spot where authentic Thai flavors meet a halal menu, with dishes like green curry, panang, pad Thai, pad see ew, kao soi, tom yum, papaya salad and mango sticky rice praised for vibrant, well balanced flavors and generous portions; the space and service are repeatedly described as warm and attentive, making it a great place to catch up with friends or try new menu items. Some reviews mention occasional slow service or comfort issues such as heat inside the restaurant, and a few note changes in staff or management affecting consistency, but overall Dek Sen is seen as a solid, authentic Thai option that many plan to return to.
The food was amazing, the restaurant feels very welcoming & homey, the food took a little long to come but the taste was definitely worth the wait. We got the chicken wings, the spicy papaya salad & the curry lamb. We also got the panda crème brûlée for dessert which was light & the perfect way to end our meal! Everything was delicious but the lamb was definitely the highlight, some of the best Thai food we've had, thank you we will definitely be back!!!
A spacious & comfortable spot that is perfect for catching up with friends over Thai food. We ordered the mango salad, green curry with chicken, & beef pad thai. The service was attentive & genuinely friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

Being a fan of Thai food, having to find a halal spot was just perfect! We ordered beef pad Thai, Pla rad prik (I am not sure of the name, it was fried fish in chili sauce), chicken red curry, mango sticky rice & Thai milk tea. All the dishes were prais worthy. We enjoyed the fried fish & red curry most. I have had better pad Thai & milk tea though. But they were also good. The mango sticky rice was just delicious!
The service was nice, the atmosphere was calm. (I think mainly because it was a weekday). There was a promotion as well, for ordering a drink we got a free pad Thai for our child. It was very nice of them.
Some of the dishes on the menu were Thai name, it would be helpful if there were small descriptions of the dish.

Absolutely Fantastic Experience at DEKSEN!
Everything from the food to the service was top-notch. We ordered the papaya salad, gyoza, crispy wings, shrimp pad see ew (with that unmistakable wok hei flavor!), crispy shrimps with tamarind sauce & braised beef PANANG curry - each dish was flavorful, fresh, & beautifully presented. The natural coconut water was the perfect refreshing touch to balance the spices.
Service was timely, & the staff were warm, attentive, & friendly throughout our meal. You can really feel the care & authenticity in both the food & the atmosphere. Highly recommend DEKSEN for anyone craving real Thai food done right. We'll definitely be back! 🌶?🇹🇭🥥
The service is spectacular, the food is literally a chefs kiss, so delicious so authentic! Also first time trying to mango sticky rice as a dessert, overall sooo great! I feel I could eat here almost everyday. We had the chicken pad Thai, red curry & green curry. & wow, will definitely be coming here again next time I'm in Montreal! I can't remember my waiters name, but he was tall, very nice & accommodating! Great experience overall

It was my husband & I's first time at Den Sen Cuisine Thaïlandaise & we were blown away!!! Everything was so delicious, portions were PERFECT & service was awesome! We can't wait to come again! We also ordered the green curry & spring rolls but devoured them before we could take a photo haha.
I will edit this post if I visit again. Unfortunately my dish came out cold. My friend & I both ordered Panang curry, hers with shrimp & I had the special with lamb & it was completely cold. The meat, the curry & the eggplant were all cold. I asked for additional curry to warm it up which they gave me. The bill came & it wasn't deducted or discounted at all. In this economy the small things matter. The crispy calamari was excellent.
Food was delicious, cosy place & good service.
We took the dumplings & fried shrimps, then the green curry with braised beef & the pad ka prao with shrimps, pan dan crème brûlée as dessert 😊

Although nicely decorated , the service & food were mediocre. Kao soi was curry-like & too heavy on the cumin, & we were shocked to see 2 chicken legs in the bowl (skin-on & boiled). Dishes arrived intermittently for our table of four. Appetizers came in the middle of our meal. Both chicken & beef for Pad See Ew & Pad Woon Sen dishes were bland & tough. Without dessert, the bill for 4 still unfortunately came out to $140.
Authentic Thai food in Mont Royal! I came for lunch break & the service is quick yet my chicken curry taste amazing! They also have the pure palm juice which I'm in love & is rare to find - definitely come back for dinner & many more
Food was good Curry options actually are very very limited - only red curry They should Add atleast 2 curries like green & white They are good - soups are good Authentic food Authentic taste but still can do more 4 pax bill was 140 with tip but good food Good taste

I went to this restaurant for the first time with my friend, I was so happy to have halal option for Asian food. I went there & I was absolutely not disappointed. The service is really good. The waitresses were so nice & thoughtful. The food was really really good, flavourful just the way I like it, I had the bowl of noodles with soup & beef & we also had some chicken wings. The Broth of the noodles was so tasty & fresh you immediately knew it was not powder bouillon, the wings were so crispy yet juicy, & the beef was very tender. We also had a variety of sauces to choose from. Ever Since then I ordered twice on DoorDash & it was the same quality. I got drunken noodles & tomyum & chicken curry puffs. Everything was well packed & delicious. Very reasonable prices ! I enjoy this place so much it's a little gem. Thanks for the experience I will come back to dine in very soon.
I honestly wish we had taken the time to take photos of the food but it was so delicious we couldn't stop eating! The food is SO fresh, authentic & the place is so clean ! Had the tom kha soup, the beef curry with rice & another dish with glass noodles & mango salad. Everything was amazing & the portions are very fair for the price. definitely recommend & would come again!
