Epicerie Pumpui propose une exploration sans compromis des saveurs thaïlandaises authentiques à travers un menu défini par une chaleur intense et un équilibre aromatique précis. La cuisine se spécialise dans les classiques de la cuisine de rue qui mettent en valeur le profil piquant des piments oiseau et de la pâte de crevette fermentée. Les plats emblématiques incluent des currys complexes préparés avec des pâtes pilées fraîches ainsi que des sautés qui conservent des textures croquantes grâce à une cuisson au wok à haute température. Chaque plat souligne des combinaisons audacieuses d’éléments acides, sucrés, salés et épicés conçus pour stimuler le palais. L’espace fonctionne comme un comptoir informel axé strictement sur l’intégrité de ses recettes régionales. Les convives découvrent une approche directe de la cuisine d’Asie du Sud-Est où la fraîcheur des herbes et des épices dicte le résultat final de chaque assiette.
Epicerie Pumpui est largement reconnue pour sa cuisine thaïlandaise authentique et savoureuse, de nombreux clients soulignant la qualité exceptionnelle du Pad Thaï, des currys et des ailes de poulet. Bien que l'ambiance soit souvent décrite comme chaleureuse, branchée et rappelant une charmante épicerie de quartier, l'espace est indéniablement restreint, ce qui entraîne fréquemment de longues attentes et une capacité d'accueil limitée. La plupart des visiteurs louent la gentillesse et l'efficacité du personnel, bien que quelques expériences fassent état d'un service inégal et de préoccupations concernant le rapport entre la taille des portions et le prix. Malgré des avis partagés sur le niveau d'épices et l'affluence, l'endroit demeure une destination hautement recommandée pour un repas décontracté et mémorable à Montréal.
Great place with a super cute date-night vibe! The food tastes incredibly authentic & you can tell they use good ingredients. Just a heads up, the curries have preset proteins so you can't swap them out, & even the'extra spicy' is actually pretty mild (though they have tabletop condiments to fix that).
the thai food has good flavor & the ingredients feel fresh, but the menu is a bit limited & the dishes are crazy spicy, so you gotta come prepared. the space inside is pretty tiny & the seating is super cramped, so it gets packed fast & the service gets a bit slow. it is fine js to try something different or get takeout, but its not a spot to sit & chill
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.

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
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.
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!! 😁)
Very cute & relaxed place, it's giving diner vibes. Now for the food, we got the yellow curry (my favourite) & the red curry. I did not like the red curry at all!! It was way too oily & the eggplants were 90% seeds. It was also way too spicy so you couldn't taste anything else. Would not order again. The yellow curry with the fish balls was really good but I do think they are better Thai places in Montreal. Good if you're looking for quick & easy meal.
Great place to visit! The food tasted authentic with genuinely good ingredients. The dishes are preset with respect to curries, so you can't change the protein in them. The spice level is fairly mild, even for their labelled extra spicy. But you have tabletop condiments you can add to ramp up the spice level.
If you have children, there were no high chairs or booster seats. So ideally need them to be able to sit in a booth.
Seems like a great place for a date. Food is served quickly & small menu.
Food was very good! I got the pork krapao & it was super flavourful! 🌶? & spicyy! The portion is generous. I went with my friend to catch up after work but i felt we were being rushed to finish faster. & its a bit hot in there.
