About

Epicerie Pumpui delivers an uncompromising exploration of authentic Thai flavors through a menu defined by intense heat and precise aromatic balance. The kitchen specializes in traditional street food staples that highlight the pungent profile of bird eye chilies and pungent shrimp paste. Signature offerings include complex curries prepared with freshly pounded pastes and stir-fries that maintain crisp textures through high-heat wok cooking. Every dish emphasizes bold combinations of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy elements designed to challenge the palate. The space functions as an informal culinary outpost focused strictly on the integrity of its regional recipes. Diners encounter a direct, no-frills approach to Southeast Asian cooking where the quality of fresh herbs and pungent seasonings dictates the output of every single plate served from the kitchen.

Review Summary

Epicerie Pumpui is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Thai cuisine, with many diners highlighting the Pad Thai, curries, and chicken wings as standout dishes. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, trendy, and reminiscent of a charming corner shop, the space is undeniably cramped, often leading to long wait times and limited seating for groups. Most patrons praise the staff for being friendly and efficient, though a minority of experiences report inconsistent service and concerns regarding portion sizes relative to the price. Despite mixed opinions on the level of spice and occasional crowding, it remains a highly recommended destination for a casual, memorable meal in Montreal.

Petit restaurant mais nourriture exceptionnelle. Nous sommes venu ici par hasard & ne nous sommes pas ressorti déçu. Le pad thaï est à se jeter par terre. Mérite sincèrement le détou

Oh my goodness, a unique Thai restaurant with food preparations I've never had before, even though the dishes are familiar. Sooo tasty. Can accommodate gluten free (we had the pad Thai & green curry)

Had heard great reviews about this restaurant but it did not live up to our expectations. The pad Thai was dry & lacking in flavour & tamarind sauce. The pad gra prow had no basil flavour. The
Morning glory however was delicious & had wok hei. Would come back just solely for this dish. Nothing was terrible. They were decent but lacking the distinct flavours that it should have. It was on the bland side.

Nourriture excellente (vegetarian pad thai) 10/10! Par contre, le service pas super… Me faire dire'what a shame' par la serveuse parce que je ne mange pas de poisson je trouve cela complètement irrespectueux, & ça n'a pas été dit d'une manière drôle ou comique, dit avec une sorte de dédain, assez étrange comme manière de s'adresser à ses clients. Une chance que la nourriture était bonne..

Service was nice, food was okay (special of the day was good, but the Pad Thai was lacking some gusto & spice). It felt noisy as well, versus a loud background ambiance, which made it difficult to relax & talk across the table.

La bouffe était suuuuuuper chère pour la quantité d'ingrédient qui n'était pas du riz. En gros, tu as beaucoup de nouilles ou de riz dépendant du plat mais 4-5 crevettes dans ton pad thai à 22$(!).

Le tout semblait un peu fait à la va-vite, du moins c'est ce que j'ai pi croire car le curry manquait cruellement d'assaisonnement, comme si personne n'y avait gouté avant de le servir.

Donc pas mauvais, mais décevant quand même côté qualité/prix quand tu paies 20+ dollar pour un repas surtout composé de riz...
