Epicerie Pumpui earns high marks for flavorful Thai cooking and generous portions in a cozy, intimate setting, making it a go-to casual spot in Montreal. Dishes like pad Thai and various curries are repeatedly praised, with many calling the pad Thai among the best they've had and the yellow curry and fish balls curry standout choices; mango sticky rice, sometimes paired with a tangy tamarin sauce or a seasonal pear variation, is frequently described as divine. The menu feels authentic yet approachable, and service is described as friendly, efficient, and attentive, even when the small space fills up and lines form. Reviews highlight great value for money and quick service, though a few note inconsistent elements such as occasional grittiness in noodles, overly salty pads, or not fully authentic notes for some tastes. Overall, Epicerie Pumpui is seen as a reliable, beloved neighborhood Thai spot with a loyal following, ideal for a casual meal, takeout, or a lively dinner, with the caveat of limited seating and possible waits.
I had a good feeling about this place as soon as I walked in, & boy did the flavors not disappoint. This is THE place to get Thai food in Montreal. Generous portions & amazing taste. This will make it into the Montreal repeats for sure.
Be sure to come on the early side as there's not a ton of seating & it fills up quick but it's so so worth it. More tables are out back in the summer.

Food is amazing! It's fresh, portions are generous, & the flavors are harmonious. Most things are a little spicy so beware if you're not used to it. Atmosphere is intimate. Mango sticky rice changed my life!
Food is delicious, but they should diversify their repetitive menu. There are only a few tables to sit in & no possibility to reserve. A bit disorganized
Great find of asian food in this corner of Montreal. Usually you judge the place to see if there's asian working/eating but don't judge the book by its cover for this place. The choices are authentic & the mango sticky rice is to DIE for. Not much seating place so get ready for the wait, if it's summer i think a take out option is good too!
The pad kra pao is ridiculously good.
Got it with the crispy pork & I loved it . Quite spicy however, & a bit pricey , but I enjoy eating here nonetheless. Service is great too.
Tout était 5/5. La bouffe est bonne, le service impeccable, l'ambiance cozy, intime, sans prétention. Le merch aussi. Manquait juste du thé pour aider à digérer. Valeur incroyable au prix des plats.
