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.
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 ???
Lovely Thai restaurant with authentic food. Lots of different options for me to eat because I love this cuisine. I went to Thailand. I needed the real food & this is very close so I am very happy. Sometimes I like to have spicy food & then I come here so I really enjoy it.
Great spot to stop in for lunch. We shared two plates with a side & some drinks. Everything was amazing. The staff were very kind but the main focus was the diner like atmosphere & the beautiful food. Would recommend to anyone.
C'etait delicieux. J'ai pris le curry vegan & les légumes étaient très variés. Le goût du bouillon était complexe. Ce n'etait pas juste du lait de coco comme dans certains endroits. Le service était rapide & courtois, honnêtement je ne comprends pas les commentaires qui disent avoir eu un mauvais service. Nous avons mangé sur place & c'etait super.
Insane quality food, insane service, staff is super nice & friendly. The food is freshly cooked & has great flavour. 10/10 would go every week if i could
The food is great although super spicy so be warned if you cant handle it, very limited sitting so you might have to wait for a while to sit down but overall good & affordable meals
