AMAZING AUTHENTIC Thai food, good service, excellent price & the food is soooo fresh. The party plater is great. I will always recommend & we will go back. 🤤
EXCELLENT resto thaï, authentique, frais, bon prix. Service rapide & chaleureux. Le plateau festif est EXCELLENT, accompagné d'une soupe repas partagée c'est parfait!
Recommande fortement & nous allons revenir. 🤤
Perfect date spot, location is beautiful, service was excellent & the food was the best soup I've ever had. Amazing gluten free & celiac safe options as well. This place is amazing. The owner is very kind & has a clear passion for restaurants. Couldn't recommend more.
If you're looking for recommendations, the Baa Mee Moo soup was excellent.

Le service irreprochable & l'ambiance parfaite pour un souper entre amis. Le restaurant est très beau, on se croierait dans une enormous serre.
Nous avons pris l'enorme plat degustation pour 2; Le poulet frit, le pad thaï & la salade de papaya étaient bons, cependant, le poisson & les brochettes ne nous ont pas impressionnés. Les cocktails excellents.
J'y retournerais pour essayer les autres plats.
Lovely restaurant with a green house vibe serving a variety of Thai dishes - salad, rice, noodles, noodle soup - appetizers & delicious desserts. We came twice during our short weekend trip 😇 & enjoyed the Seafood Yen Ta Fo & Banana Roti greatly! Thank you Clayre for your kindness & excellent service!
The restaurant is without doubt very cool looking. When I dined it was quite empty, so it was peaceful. Because of this is can't really speak for the service, I sat at the bar & the guy there was really friendly.
But the food is just okay, ranging from decent to boring. & ultimately not really worth the price point.
I got the:
Mae Sri Rolls, which was nicely crispy & hot. But it wasn't really anything special at 4 rolls for 14$.
Baa Mee Moo (no soup), which was honestly kind of very flavorless. & I think they got the noodles wrong because I'm certain I got rice noodles, not egg noodles. The most flavor I got out of the dish were the individual ingredients themselves, & the occasional bite of black pepper.
EDIT: i came back here with my family & the experience was just awful. two of the three dishes we ordered were incorrect, one of which was under the vegan section of the menu but in reality was not... ?? very misleading. & don't order the hot pot -- what we received was a barely warm bowl of soup placed above a tealight holder for aesthetics only. how you can call that hot pot, i have no idea. The food was bland, which is surprising for a thai restaurant, & the service was slow & unpleasant as well.
After years of coming here regularly & this being one of my favourite restaurants in the city, i will not be coming back. It's a shame, because the ambiance is truly lovely & the interior is very well decorated. This experience really ruined my impression of the restaurant for good
Original: the food was so delicious & the service was absolutely incredible. if you're looking for alcohol, try the thai green shot - you won't regret it! five stars all around.

Je ne comprends vraiment pas certains avis négatifs, c'est selon moi le meilleur restaurant thaï en dehors de la Thaïlande que j'aie pu trouver. & je parle en toute connaissance de cause : je suis à moitié thaïe & j'ai grandi avec la cuisine authentique de ma mère. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les soupes de nouilles thaïes, qu'on retrouve rarement dans la plupart des restaurants. En plus, le décor est très esthétique.
Very good food with an even better vibe (great music selection. The playlist was on point). Lots of great options as well. I had the Baa Mee Moo noodle soup & it was fantastic.
Nous sommes venus mardi midi & avons pris un pad thai & une soupe tom yum, c'était très bon. Merci à Justine pour ses excellents conseils & sa gentillesse !
Très très décevant. Nous sommes venus souper mercredi soir 18 septembre pour une occasion importante. La nourriture était correcte, les cocktails très bons & originaux & le restaurant très beau. Par contre, le service était EXTRÊMEMENT mauvais : * Aucune indication de menu après nous avoir assis (le QR code n'était pas sur la table). De plus, nous avons attendu longtemps juste pour de l'eau. * Beaucoup de personnes sont arrivées après nous, mais ont eu leurs cocktails, voire leur nourriture, avant nous. * Nous avions pris deux entrées & deux plats principaux. La première entrée est venue seule après plus de 40 minutes d'attente. Après indication à la serveuse, elle nous a ramené 10 minutes après un des plats principaux, & non l'entrée qui manquait. Nous lui avons encore indiqué le problème, & la deuxième entrée a suivi après peu. Nous avions donc deux entrées sur la table & un des deux plats principaux. * Une fois le dernier plat arrivé, la serveuse a pris mes couverts & mon entrée que je venais de finir & n'est jamais venue me donner de nouveaux couverts, seulement suite à ma demande. * Les cocktails sont arrivées en derniers donc après plus de 1 heure après avoir passé la commande. Bien que la serveuse était nouvelle, cela n'excuse pas le fait de ramener des plats séparément & de ne même pas se rendre compte de ses erreurs, elle avait l'air plus ennuyée que désolée.

First time trying Thai food & it did not disappoint. I tried the seafood noodles soup & pad thai & they were a treat. The spring rolls were also very tasty.
I got the beef noodle soup, sooo flavorful. My friends all enjoyed their dishes as well (boat noodle soup & the pad see ew). I loved the addition of fried garlic & the spice level was great. We came on a Sunday evening & while busy, they quickly found a table for us out front. Less vibey than in "the garden room" but quiet enough on a summer day.
Spring rolls good Papaya salad medium watery Braised beef soup smiley , the quality of the meat not as expected . I took one small bite from the meet I left all the plate Chicken curry medium Beef noodles soup was good . Based on me & my personal evaluation I will not come back. Thanks
Notre serveur Benjamin était très sympathique & énergique. Les soupes étaient excellentes & les cafés tout autant. Un restaurant parfait pour s'évader dans une atmosphère exotique en plein centre ville.

Really lovely, great service from our waitress. The kitchen was slow but it was busy. If you're into soup, you need to try the braised beef soup. The broth is delicious. I will come back to eat it again! Also the mango sticky rice is great :)
Beautiful restaurant with plenty of light & greenery. Cute patio for the summer as well. My brother has celiac & they accommodated us & showed us a few items on the menu that would be safe for him! The food is excellent - but somewhat inconsistent. I came once when it wasn't as busy & ordered the pad Thai. It was delicious & flavourful. However, I came back again on a busier night & I found it to be a bit dry. The soups are insane - packed with flavour, protein & veggies. Everything a good soup should be. I recommend the boat noodle soup, the Tom yum & the Ba Mee Moo soup. Definitely recommend
We are so happy to have decided to try this place! The atmosphere was fun, the place looks really cozy, our server Benjamin was great & the food was incredible! Best meal we had in a while. Try their braised beef soup, you won't regret it!
