Epicerie Pumpui est largement reconnue pour sa cuisine thaïlandaise authentique et savoureuse, de nombreux clients soulignant que le pad thaï, le curry vert et les ailes de poulet sont des plats incontournables qui font de cet endroit une destination privilégiée à Montréal. Les convives apprécient souvent l'atmosphère vibrante et chaleureuse qui évoque une expérience de voyage unique, ainsi que le service amical et efficace du personnel. Bien que le restaurant soit très populaire et que les places soient limitées, entraînant parfois une attente, le consensus général est que la qualité des ingrédients et la finesse des saveurs, parfois relevées, en font une adresse hautement recommandée pour des repas agréables ou des sorties en tête-à-tête.
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!!
We chanced upon this great place when we were wondering around the neighbourhood of Beaubien & Petite Italie. It has that Asian roadside cafe. The place was packed the night before, but luckily they also opened on Labor Day when many other places were closed. (Another Asian mentality!) I'm not a Thai food expert, but having had some amazing local food in Bangkok & Chiangmai, I often find London's Thai food a bit westernised. Pompui on the other hand, is not falling over to appease the typical western taste. Non messieurs dames! We had some very tasty options, which led us to return a couple of days later for our last lunch before having to return home. First lunch, we had their special of the week - a creamy Asian salad, which was like a "thin" coleslaw with a Thai twist of lime & fish sauce. The main courses were a beef laab, which was like sliced & spiced raw beef with an Asian salad that you could wrap with beetle leaves. It came with sticky rice; & a green Thai curry with fish balls & sticky rice. Both dishes were strong in flavour & stood up well to each other even if you were eating together. The laab was a new thing to me. I have watched many YouTube videos with Chef Yia Vang about the Laos food that talk about laab. This one is Thai, so you may regard it as either the big daddy influencer or subsequently being influenced. Who knows? You can taste the different saltiness & spices. Chew slowly & you get all the fragrance of the fresh herbs & vegetables. It's a chirpy tune with all the various notes. 2nd lunch - we decided to try out the other tasty items on the menu that we couldn't fit in last time. The fried chicken wings - oh yeah! Nuff said. You can taste the marinated wings that have a generous sweet chilli sauce dressing. Each wing is the full 3 joints. Not like KFC hot wings where they are only giving you one section as one piece. Crispness is maintained in every bite. So good we had two portions! Then we had the pork belly on morning glory. The waitress advised us to use the garlic vinegar, which is a condiment every table, as it helps to lift the saltiness of the pork belly. Oh boy, yeah, that's a fab dish that will make any pork lover happy for hours! Super friendly staff who can speak English, French & to my stomach! There are clearly a lot of locals who enjoy this joint. So go & check it out.

Loved our meal at Pichai that I knew I had to try Pumpui during this past GP weekend. Arrived shortly after 6 & the restaurant was packed. Luckily, a booth opened up within a few minutes for us which helped as we were going to try a bunch of dishes. Pad kaprao pork - simply put, awesome! One of my go to dishes when having Thai food back home or online BKK. Only complaint was that I wish the egg was served sunny side up instead fried to a well done. Pad pak boong pork - another awesome dish! Not sure how you can go wrong with crispy pork belly w/ perfectly sautéed morning glory. We did order this mild & it was still pretty spicy for me. Not sure why the rice served in Montreal is so wet. IIRC, the white rice at Pichai was also pretty wet. Ended up wasting almost the entire plate as it was so mushy. Gaeng massaman gai - the one dish that was just ok in my opinion which is odd since I usually love red curry. Not sure what was lacking but something was a bit off. Since the pad pak boong came with a huge plate of rice, asked the waitress to not bring another serving. Pad thai - pretty tasty & noticed almost all patrons ordering this dish. Wished I could've subbed the shrimp for chicken. Quebec lobster - this was one of the main reasons for dining here as I kept seeing IG posts about this. Sadly, this was a disappointing dish. The lobster really didn't have any meat & thought it was weird they served it with what tasted like salsa verde. Khao neeo mamuang - great way to end the meal. Perfectly cooked glutinous rice w/ an ample amount of coconut milk. Was surprised at how sweet the mango was. Almost as good as Mae Varee in BKK!! Would definitely come back the next time we are in town for the GP!
Thai person review: Dishes we ordered: Pad Kaprao (beef) & Peach Sticky Rice (mango was out of season) Overall: 3/5 Went there in December 2022, just a few month since I arrived in Montreal. Pad Kaprao was my usual go-to meal when I was in Thailand, so I started searching where I could get one. Stumbled upon a recommendation of this Épicerie Pumpui, & the picture of Pad Kaprao in the review looked nice. So we went there, & came back uncertain how we should feel about the meal. Pad Kaprao tasted somewhat better than what you can expect from other westernised thai restaurants, & it could have been an okay/decent dish had it been something else completely. The dish did not taste like any Pad Kaprao that I knew. Key flavours were not there. Fish sauce - garlic - hot peppers in hot wok, none of it was strong enough to represent a proper Pad Kaprao. Still, it was not a bad dish, you just have to get your expectation right. & please note that I am rating this with a thai palette, I don't know if foreigners, especially westerners who usually eat food with milder flavours, would like it better than me or not. Also, I am sure that other dishes that are easier to nail such as Gaeng Gai (Chicken Red Curry) or more neutral dish would be fine. (Pad Kaprao is a very simple dish, but when done incorrectly, it can be far off.) For peach sticky rice (no photos, sadly), I have to say that it's not bad at all. The portion might be a little bit too modest for the price, but well. It is what it is, I guess. Atmosphere was very nice. The place was very tight & cozy, & there were a lot of people when I went there. I guess that helped boost the coziness. Service, on the other hand, was not impressive at all. It was not too different from any service you could get elsewhere in Montreal, but they just didn't seem to care that much (they're also busy, I get that, still, could be a bit nicer). Most of other thai restaurants in Montreal would offer better services (with some exception, of course).
The chicken wings were so crispy & delicious, & come sitting in a killer sweet chili sauce. Very good pad Thai, flavourful & packed with crunchy peanuts. & we absolutely loved trying the different lime+chili fish sauces sitting on the table. The pear sticky rice did not hit the spot we were looking for with the mango one, mainly due to the star anise/cardamom/cinammon spice blend that the fruit was poached in. Seating was a bit cramped if you are assigned to the window seats, especially with our winter coats on our laps. Whoever sits by the curtains to the left of the entrance is sure to get elbowed a couple of times by patrons walking in.
Walk in experience.
We waited 20 min for spot, they actually sat others before us despite being first.
Guess what Who cares life is too short to make a deal out of it.
We did get complimentary cabbage salad for the wait :)
We also tried Pad Thai , chicken wings & peach sticky rice dessert.
Everything was spot on amazing with my leaning towards the wings.
Will be back sooner rather than later.
Staff & service is on point
