I can't emphasize enough on how good the food is. It food came out hot, tasted amazing! We got tons of suggestions from Savanna, & she was sweet enough to explain the flavor profiles to us as well :)
Absolutely loved the pad Thai, the fish balls in green curry, sticky mango & their AMAZING icecream.View more

Padthai was too salty & too sour for my taste. Curry was good. Service is ok.View more

It's okay Thai food. The portion size is a bit small for the price & there isn't much meat in the curry or khao soi. But the seasoning & spices are flavourful I also hope they eventually mix thai iced tea themselves instead of selling the canned versions.View more

Nice place to try! Green Curry is good, It won't be too greasy. Love chicken wing also, just pear sticky rice is too sweet. Anyways, good for lunch!!View more

Wow wow wow....! A fantastic meal in a cozy atmosphere on a chilly snowy evening. Unbelievable flavours, every bite a step closer to the sadness of finishing a memorable meal. Had the chicken wings, massaman curry, pad thai & pad paak with pork. The pear sticky rice dessert put it over the top. Umami overload!View more

À l'approche de l'endroit, j'étais un peu méfiant car ça n'était pas vraiment une épicerie comme je l'imaginais. Cependant, dès la première bouchée, je me suis senti téléporté dans les rues de Chiang Mai. Le goût est au rendez-vous. Autant le curry vert que les Pad Thaï étaient parfaits. Une prochaine fois, nous goûterons certainement le dessert de riz gluant à la poire !!!View more

Excellente cuisine, très goûteuse. Mon nouveau restaurant préféré. Arrivez un peu avant d'avoir très faim, car il y a parfois de l'attente. Par contre, l'attente (5 minutes dans notre cas) en vaut vraiment la peine. Être seulement deux ça aide à passer plus vite. Le repas était excellent & copieux. Nous avons pris une salade au chou en entrée & j'ai mangé un curry vert aux boulettes de poisson. Malheureusement, nous n'avions plus faim pour le dessert, soit un riz collant à la poire. Nous y retournerons assurément.View more

This is one of my favorite chill places to grab an amazing bowl of curry. The hits every single time & the service is super fast. I thought I didn't like Thai food until I went to Pumpui!View more

We chanced upon this great place when we were wondering around the neighbourhood of Beaubien & Petite Italie. It has that Asian roadside cafe. The place was packed the night before, but luckily they also opened on Labor Day when many other places were closed. (Another Asian mentality!) I'm not a Thai food expert, but having had some amazing local food in Bangkok & Chiangmai, I often find London's Thai food a bit westernised. Pompui on the other hand, is not falling over to appease the typical western taste. Non messieurs dames! We had some very tasty options, which led us to return a couple of days later for our last lunch before having to return home. First lunch, we had their special of the week - a creamy Asian salad, which was like a "thin" coleslaw with a Thai twist of lime & fish sauce. The main courses were a beef laab, which was like sliced & spiced raw beef with an Asian salad that you could wrap with beetle leaves. It came with sticky rice; & a green Thai curry with fish balls & sticky rice. Both dishes were strong in flavour & stood up well to each other even if you were eating together. The laab was a new thing to me. I have watched many YouTube videos with Chef Yia Vang about the Laos food that talk about laab. This one is Thai, so you may regard it as either the big daddy influencer or subsequently being influenced. Who knows? You can taste the different saltiness & spices. Chew slowly & you get all the fragrance of the fresh herbs & vegetables. It's a chirpy tune with all the various notes. 2nd lunch - we decided to try out the other tasty items on the menu that we couldn't fit in last time. The fried chicken wings - oh yeah! Nuff said. You can taste the marinated wings that have a generous sweet chilli sauce dressing. Each wing is the full 3 joints. Not like KFC hot wings where they are only giving you one section as one piece. Crispness is maintained in every bite. So good we had two portions! Then we had the pork belly on morning glory. The waitress advised us to use the garlic vinegar, which is a condiment every table, as it helps to lift the saltiness of the pork belly. Oh boy, yeah, that's a fab dish that will make any pork lover happy for hours! Super friendly staff who can speak English, French & to my stomach! There are clearly a lot of locals who enjoy this joint. So go & check it out.View more

I love Thai food. Montreal doesn't have many good Thai food restaurants so when I saw the reviews for this place, I got excited. The food isnt bad per say... It isn't just what it says it is. The pad kra pao doesn't taste like any pad kra pao I've had before. Red curry is... Okay :). Salad was very good tho. I won't be back. But maybe other people will love it.View more

Came here with a friend for lunch on a Monday. The place was medium packed & there was no wait. We sat in the backyard terrasse which can be accessed by walking around the block. The terrasse comprised of 4-5 picnic tables under umbrellas on a gravel driveway (nothing romantic). We ordered the green curry, the special of the moment (which was a cornish hen on a bed of cabbage with a papaya salad on the side) & shared the cabbage salad. We ordered these on the recommendation of our waitress, who was excellent & friendly. Everything was extremely tasty & felt very authentic. The dipping sauce for the cornish hen was punishingly spicy. I felt it for days afterwards. If you like & can handle spice, then this dish is for you. Overall, I'm very happy to have tried this place as it embodies what I think is so incredible about Montreal food. These small, hidden away places that pack incredible flavors is what this city is about.View more

Loved our meal at Pichai that I knew I had to try Pumpui during this past GP weekend. Arrived shortly after 6 & the restaurant was packed. Luckily, a booth opened up within a few minutes for us which helped as we were going to try a bunch of dishes. Pad kaprao pork - simply put, awesome! One of my go to dishes when having Thai food back home or online BKK. Only complaint was that I wish the egg was served sunny side up instead fried to a well done. Pad pak boong pork - another awesome dish! Not sure how you can go wrong with crispy pork belly w/ perfectly sautéed morning glory. We did order this mild & it was still pretty spicy for me. Not sure why the rice served in Montreal is so wet. IIRC, the white rice at Pichai was also pretty wet. Ended up wasting almost the entire plate as it was so mushy. Gaeng massaman gai - the one dish that was just ok in my opinion which is odd since I usually love red curry. Not sure what was lacking but something was a bit off. Since the pad pak boong came with a huge plate of rice, asked the waitress to not bring another serving. Pad thai - pretty tasty & noticed almost all patrons ordering this dish. Wished I could've subbed the shrimp for chicken. Quebec lobster - this was one of the main reasons for dining here as I kept seeing IG posts about this. Sadly, this was a disappointing dish. The lobster really didn't have any meat & thought it was weird they served it with what tasted like salsa verde. Khao neeo mamuang - great way to end the meal. Perfectly cooked glutinous rice w/ an ample amount of coconut milk. Was surprised at how sweet the mango was. Almost as good as Mae Varee in BKK!! Would definitely come back the next time we are in town for the GP!View more

I've spent a few months in Thailand & my all time favorite is the red curry. First time going to Pumpui yesterday & I've tasted their fish ball green curry, tofu red curry, shrimp & tofu pad Thai, the cabbage salad & the potato appetizer. I'd recommend the green curry sauce, but the kind of daikons in it were just weird & huge. Once removed, there wasn't much left beside the fish balls. Pad Thai was alright, but the tofu was quite dry. I didn't like the red curry that tasted too much like tomatoes - We were 3 & no one wanted to finish the dish. The potatoes were good. The salad was very unbalanced (super strong smell of coconut, big chunks of ginger, just not fun) & no one wanted to finish this one neither. I will not go back.View more

Thai person review: Dishes we ordered: Pad Kaprao (beef) & Peach Sticky Rice (mango was out of season) Overall: 3/5 Went there in December 2022, just a few month since I arrived in Montreal. Pad Kaprao was my usual go-to meal when I was in Thailand, so I started searching where I could get one. Stumbled upon a recommendation of this Épicerie Pumpui, & the picture of Pad Kaprao in the review looked nice. So we went there, & came back uncertain how we should feel about the meal. Pad Kaprao tasted somewhat better than what you can expect from other westernised thai restaurants, & it could have been an okay/decent dish had it been something else completely. The dish did not taste like any Pad Kaprao that I knew. Key flavours were not there. Fish sauce - garlic - hot peppers in hot wok, none of it was strong enough to represent a proper Pad Kaprao. Still, it was not a bad dish, you just have to get your expectation right. & please note that I am rating this with a thai palette, I don't know if foreigners, especially westerners who usually eat food with milder flavours, would like it better than me or not. Also, I am sure that other dishes that are easier to nail such as Gaeng Gai (Chicken Red Curry) or more neutral dish would be fine. (Pad Kaprao is a very simple dish, but when done incorrectly, it can be far off.) For peach sticky rice (no photos, sadly), I have to say that it's not bad at all. The portion might be a little bit too modest for the price, but well. It is what it is, I guess. Atmosphere was very nice. The place was very tight & cozy, & there were a lot of people when I went there. I guess that helped boost the coziness. Service, on the other hand, was not impressive at all. It was not too different from any service you could get elsewhere in Montreal, but they just didn't seem to care that much (they're also busy, I get that, still, could be a bit nicer). Most of other thai restaurants in Montreal would offer better services (with some exception, of course).View more

Have been here 3 times. Green & red curry, Pad Pak Kanaa Moo Grob, Pad Kaprao with Pork, & pad thai all fantastic. I was unsure yesterday so I asked the server at takeout line & was given great recommendations. Best I have tasted in the city. Service friendly & courteousView more

Honestly some of the best Thai food I've had in Montreal. The atmosphere is super cute & intimate. The food is absolutely banging as it is packed with flavours & they give you a very generous portion. Great service too. I recommend the yellow curry it was delicious!!View more
Arlette
La nourriture est correcte. J’ai pris un curry jaune & le poulet n’était pas tendre. De plus, les galettes aux courgettes étaient assez fades, la sauce au tamarin, quoique bien, était versée directement, ça aurait été beaucoup mieux si elle était donnée à côté. Je donne 2 étoiles, car l’ambience est cozy & l’espace mignonne.View more

Came here for lunch & sat out on there terrasse. Really great service with a cool vibe. It’s the sister restaurant of pichai so I had high expectations. We ordered the crispy pork, yellow curry, cabbage salad & the special of the week which was this corn salad with fish cakes. All the dishes were well balanced, fresh & delicious! I wish the vegetables in the yellow curry were cut smaller & were a bit spicier but all in all really good! Highly recommend the crispy pork & will be back to try their pad Thai.
