Epicerie Pumpui earns praise for bold Thai flavors and generous portions, with standout dishes like pad Thai, a range of curries, and mango sticky rice; spice levels can be quite high and some diners would like non spicy options, but the overall taste is described as authentic and well balanced; the prices are affordable for the generous portions, offering good value; the venue is cozy and intimate, yet small with limited seating and the possibility of lines, especially at peak times since reservations are not common; service is usually quick and friendly, contributing to a casual date friendly atmosphere, though a few visits mention inconsistent experiences.
It was our first time here, so the server took the time to explain the dishes. The food was delicious & reasonably priced. There are few dish options, but they are good enough.
Very nice place! A bit pricey for what it is, but the portions are also quite big which balances that out. They have some very spiced dishes but they're also ready to accommodate the dishes to your spice level so that everyone gets what they like! All in all it was a very good lunch ☺️
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!
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 !!!
Le meilleur resto Thaï en ville, point barre. Les saveurs & la qualité sont uniques, si vous souhaitez un réel voyage culinaire sans le jetlag Pumpui est votre place!
Not much to complain about other than that there is no option to adjust the level of spicyness. Some of the best thai dishes I've tried outside of thailand.
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.

Amazing. The food is so good, very affordable, & consistent. Every dish is fantastic, whether a staple menu item or one of their specials. Nice wine/cider choices as well, & very cool vibe. All around one of my favourite spots in the city
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!
The staff is amazing & the food is even better! Very accommodating: we had a baby stroller & they found a spot for us. In the summer they have a terrace in the back. Ordered the wings, the shrimp pad Thai, & the special (the ribs with rice & piping hot sauce 🥵)! We were two & the portions were more than enough!!
