The kitchen specializes in traditional street food staples that highlight the pungent profile of bird eye chilies and pungent shrimp paste.

Every dish emphasizes bold combinations of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy elements designed to challenge the palate.

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.

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.

Pad Thai is basic - I don't get the hype at all

Excellent Pad Thai crevettes tofu. Les sauces offertes sur la table sont aussi parfaites.

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...

Meilleur pad thai à Montréal

the thai food has good flavor & the ingredients feel fresh, but the menu is a bit limited & the dishes are crazy spicy, so you gotta come prepared. the space inside is pretty tiny & the seating is super cramped, so it gets packed fast & the service gets a bit slow. it is fine js to try something different or get takeout, but its not a spot to sit & chill

One of my personal hidden gems in Montreal. It is in the heart of the little Italy which is a perfect area for a nice little date or soft evening. The menu is simple. You cannot go there & expect it to have a long list of things. They curate the menu every now & so, only keeping the best sellers on the constant. Personally, the pad thai & the wings are just my must haves.

The atmosphere is also a 10/10. It makes you feel like you've traveled when you didn't. Perfect to eat alone or accompanied. To be honest it's never bothered to go on my own to enjoy a meal of my own company. I'd say if you're a bigger group, do expect a little wait, or come early.

Service at times is a give or take. But usually pretty good so a 4 for me.

Do yourself a favor & try it! Simple but delicious!

The chicken wings were good. The pad thai noodles was different but good flavour. The pad kra pao had too much veggies, it was okay. Overall 7/10 for the dishes. The staff was welcoming & kind.

Petit trésors bien caché (aucun nom visible de la rue) mais fort intéressant à découvrir. Meilleur Pad Thaï depuis le big bang, beau au point d'avoir oublié de le photographier tellement j'ai plongé dedans rapidement. La place se remplit dès l'ouverture à midi, même un lundi. Je le recommande aux amateurs de fine cuisine thaï, les sauces sur la table réveilleront vos papilles pour la journée.
Mais pas vu d'épicerie ???
