Epicerie Pumpui est perçue comme une adresse thaï authentique et chaleureuse, où les plats vedettes tels que le pad thaï et les currys sont riches et équilibrés, et où des desserts comme le riz gluant à la mangue et le riz gluant aux poires caramélisées font l’unanimité, avec des portions généreuses et un riz gluant parfumé, le tout servi dans une ambiance intime et décontractée, idéale pour un déjeuner rapide ou un dîner détendu; le service est souvent décrit comme rapide, attentif et sympathique, même lorsque le restaurant est plein. Cependant l’espace est restreint et la fréquentation peut entraîner des attentes et du bruit, certains plats pouvant être plus salés, huileux ou petits pour le prix, et quelques avis remettent en question l’authenticité par rapport à d’autres adresses montréalaises. Malgré ces nuances, l’ensemble des retours souligne une expérience gustative largement positive avec des saveurs thaï évidentes, des portions généreuses et des options épicées accessibles via des condiments sur table, offrant une atmosphère conviviale qui pousse les clients à revenir.
J'ai pris plusieurs plats sur la carte. Ce n'est pas mauvais.... mais je n'y retournerai pas. Les galettes de citrouille étaient brûlées, que le centre était décent. Le pad Thai au tofu était très fade & sec, pas de sauce & un pain de nouilles. Le cury vert au poisson goûtait davantage le lait de coco & manquait de parfum & d'épices. Le mélange de légumes verts était correct. Le riz bien cuit.
La salade de choux goûtait que le panais & ça baignait dans une vinaigrette simili crémeuse.
Reste le riz collant à la mangue, mais j'ai aucune attente à ce point.
I don't understand why there is non spicy of each plate, the plate that i ordered (Pad Kaprao) was super delicious for me, but there is no child on earth could eat that because of 🌶?🔥, even my wife couldn't even taste it.
However, my wife ordered Tofu Pad Thai, as it was the only (non spicy) available on the menu, overall it was ok, but too oily, they could've use less oil to fry it.
I would go again there, but I hope one day they put into consideration that many people in this globe cannot eat spicy, & make non spicy version of each plate they have on the menu.

Best pad Thai i ever had in my life just that simple the cilantro what a touch just wow. Everything else is amazing the citrouille appetizer + pear rice but pad Thai really the sta
Love love love food at Pumpui! I used to eat here ALL the time on weekends after pole classes when I was a grad student & it was one of my FAVORITE things to do with friends. I visited after three years & love to see that Pumpui is the same if not better & more popular lol. We got the spicy pork curry of the day, pad krapow & the salad with the creamy coconut dressing. All fantastic. No notes. Just delicious. Got the pear sticky rice for dessert. Also fantastic. LOVE the thai tea sauce on this. Also love the fact that they do a more seasonal pear sticky rice when mangoes are not as seasonal. My only complaint is that they're TOO POPULAR omg. If I don't get to pumpui soon after it opens, it's a guaranteed wait. Which is SO valid because the food is so good. The service people are nice tho & very diligent with seating. They have a small space & they do their best to have customers seated & flowing. They're also very communicative about wait times. I love Pumpui so much & wish them so well (so that I can always eat here when I visit Montreal!! 😁)
Best pad thai i've had. The food was flavorful. The chicken wings were finger licking good. & to finish on a good note, a mango sticky rice. The mango was ripened to perfection. What can you ask for more?
I honestly don't understand the hype around this place besides that it's trendy. I have been twice now. The service overall was terrible. One server in particular was blatantly rude & very condescending to myself & other diners around as well. The food is just ok & very over priced for such stingy portioning. I have had much better authentic Thai food elsewhere. They don't remove the veins of the shrimp, & you barely get any shrimp in the pad thai goong. The fish ball yellow curry was tasty but also small & underwhelming & clearly used frozen fish balls.
The flavors were great, & I truly wanted to love it, but something was just wrong with my noodles. Either somebody soak the rice noodles in hot water, or there were far too few bean sprouts in the Pad Thai, ultimately making it a sticky plate of stodgy noodles.

The peach doesn't really stand out with the sticky rice. Mango is still the best. Please don't do this again ☹? as it ruins the moment of the mango sticky rice. The pad thai with shrimp is good but not that great. One order is good for 2 people. Overall, 3 out of 5. Food is nice but I don't think I should go back again.
Pumpui is a gem! The chicken wings were unreal, the shrimp pad thai was easily one of the best I've ever had, & the pork belly on rice (Pad Pak Boong) was just out of this world. We grabbed takeout but ended up eating right in front & honestly, the little mom-&-pop shop atmosphere made it even better. You can really feel the energy of the place. Even their rosé wine was spot on. 100% a 5-star spot in Montreal!
I'm from Thailand & I can say the taste is not quite authentic. However, the taste is okay.
The pad tastes good but it is not what the pad thai should taste like. Pad krapao is very salty & if you know thai people, we make fun of any restaurant who do pad kra pow with the long bean because it make the volume of the food to be bigger (less meat)
Anyway, it is an okay place to have Thai food but for anyone who is looking for authentic Thai food. Just saying, this is not it.

We came all the way from Jean Drapeau to Little Italy for this amazing Thai restaurant & it didn't disappoint us. One of our friends recommended this place & said this is their go-to restaurant every week (they come at least once a week). After trying it out, I totally understood why they were doing that. Amazing place worth going to this regular!
We ordered all three entrées to share. The chicken wings are definitely the best. The tofu pad thai was really tasty as well. Loved the fish balls in the yellow curry - very tender. The mango sticky rice was very fresh. The price was decently cheap, compared to the other famous Thai restaurant in town, Pichai.
We had a great time dining at this little cute Thai restaurant! It's definitely worth coming back again!!
I can't emphasize enough on how good the food is. It food came out hot, tasted amazing! We got tons of suggestions from Savanna, & she was sweet enough to explain the flavor profiles to us as well :)
Absolutely loved the pad Thai, the fish balls in green curry, sticky mango & their AMAZING icecream.
