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.
Restaurant très compacte, vraiment rapide pour un take-out en tout cas! Je dois dire que mon expérience varie beaucoup d'un plat à l'autre. Certaines fois j'ai adoré & d'autres fois, ça m'a déçu. Je dois dire par contre que leur merch est vraiment très belle!
Le service était bien & les portions sont bonnes. Cependant j'ai trouvé le pad thai un peu trop intense sur le sucré/salé/surette... Peut-être qu'ils ont juste mis trop de sauce à l'intérieur. Ça tombait sur le coeur à la longue. Aussi, je n'aime pas qu'ils font chauffer les garlic chives & fèves germées jusqu'à ce qu'ils ramollissent. C'est tellement meilleurs quand ils sont frais & croustillants, ça amène un bon contraste de texture & saveurs. Bref, je suis picky mais c'était bien quand même.

Bouffe thaï absolument délicieuse!!! J'adore ce petit resto. Mon plat favori est le Pak Bonh Moo Grub... (stir fry porc frit). Seul bémol, un tantinet cher pour un plat... mais à essayer tout de même.

Classic, legit Thaï reconnu par la Thaïlande même. Setup style comptoir to go avec resto/terrasse à l'arrière. Le pad thaï est sur la grosse coche. Sélection d'alcool épurée, mais de qualité. Beau Merch. Ultimement pas cher pour la qualité & l'authenticité. On revient périodiquement. Hâte de regoûter au homard frit.
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.

Ai commandé le spécial. Aucune des deux serveuses ne nous ont indiqué que le plat était piquant. C'était rempli de chilis hâchés. La serveuse n'a pas reconnu son erreur, mais elle nous a apporté des concombres. Je n'ai pas pu finir mon plat.
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.
Pour quelqu'un qui déteste la coriandre, immangeable! Chaque plat son infesté de coriandre & il n'est m'entioner nul part la présence de coriandre. Ni c'elle des arachides d'ailleurs. Sinon, le plats était bon mais salé. Les cuisiniers ne portaient aucun filet à cheveux mais foulard. Les serveuses n'étaient pas professionnelles, elles portaient chandail bédaine & pentalon trouer. Les serveuse ne son pas venu nous demander si tout était correct & franchement, vue tout les beau commentaire, j'ai été déçu. Sinon les portion son bonne.
