Couldn't have had a better experience. I had a tight schedule, & the server was not only friendly but also very helpful I had my small plate out in 5 minutes! I had the chicken satay, a fried egg & an iced milk tea, & everything was so good & fresh. Can't wait to come back when I have more time. 10/10
Spicy was not. Medium was not. Extra shrimp got me a grand total of three. Portions are small. Calamari was good. Chicken was well cooked. BBQ duck was very good. I would not return though as it was alll so bland & goopy.

Absolutely amazing Thai food! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor & clearly made with care & fresh ingredients. We had the Tom Yum soup, chicken pad Thai & red curry. Portion sizes were perfect. The customer service was outstanding-warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. They helped me bring the stroller up the stairs when we arrived & when we were leaving. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Great food, great hospitality, & a great overall experience. Highly recommend & will definitely be back!
Real authentic Thai food. They were so warm & welcoming just like how it is in Thailand. Coming made me feel like i was back in Thailand again. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for some real Thai food. I had the papaya salad extra extra spicy 🥵 the chicken wings were nice & crispy. The pad thai was on point
Amazing. Very authentic. The Larb Gai Tod (friend chicken spicy salad) was to die for. Khao soi was great but could use more pickled mustard in my opinion. Otherwise though was still very good. Highly recommend. Food is authentic & the ladies working are very nice.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Authentic Thai Delight in the Heart of Montreal!
We had an incredible dining experience at Khao San Resto Thai, & I can confidently say it's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors in Montreal!
We ordered a variety of dishes:
• Chicken Satay
• Red Curry Chicken & Rice
• Sweet & Sour Chicken
• Tofu Fried Rice, Chicken Fried Rice
• Chicken Noodle Soup
• Mango Sticky Rice
Every single dish was prepared to perfection - fresh ingredients, bold flavors, & beautiful presentation. My personal favorite was the Sweet & Sour Chicken with rice. The chicken was perfectly crispy, served with bell peppers, red chilies, onions, pineapple, & carrots. It delivered that perfect balance of sweet, sour, & spicy, paired with a generous portion of rice. Absolutely delicious!
The Chicken Satay was tender & flavorful with a rich peanut sauce, & the Red Curry Rice had the right amount of heat & creaminess. The Tofu Fried Rice was well-seasoned & satisfying, & the Chicken Noodle Soup offered a comforting, aromatic broth. To top it off, the Mango Sticky Rice was the perfect sweet ending - fresh, fragrant, & beautifully plated.
& for those who enjoy a good drink, don't miss out on their famous Singha & Chang beers - authentic Thai brews that really complete the experience.
The service was fantastic - the staff were genuinely kind, attentive, & ensured we had everything we needed. Our food arrived quickly, & we felt well taken care of throughout the meal.
If you're in Montreal & craving Thai cuisine, Khao San Resto Thai is a spot you shouldn't miss. We'll definitely be coming back!

On est venus pour le mango sticky rice qui est très bon & on a essayé aussi le fried chicken sauce aigre douce & riz frit à l'ananas. Excellent! Très savoureux & portions généreuses. La salade à la mangue était aussi très bonne. Service impeccable, resto impeccable, je recommande!
Ordered the green curry with crispy chicken. Unfortunately crispy chicken was no longer crispy because it has been mixed with the green curry sauce. I though that they will put it on the side... dessert mango sticky rice is good but too expensive for the quantity (take away)
i got takeout & the chicken pad thai with iced Thai green milk tea was quite good! however, they did not give lemons for the pad thai which was a bit disappointing bc i loooove eating pad thai with a bit of ZEST. anyway, the Thai green milk tea WAS SOOOOOO good. probably one of the best Thai green milk tea i've ever had.
Generous portion but disappointing taste & high price considering the quality. My experience was definitely far from the 5 stars average rating they have. I had pineapple fried rice & there was only a few pineapple pieces that were white & didn't taste like much... So basically it tasted just like a regular fried rice, no sweet pineapple flavor it was really disappointing. & the fried rice itself was not particularly well made. Chicken was a bit dry, but the rest not fried enough. There was also a cold air draft in the dining room (probably alimenting their fumehood from a wrong air intake) so it was uncomfortable. Also, they advertize a lunch special outside but charged me full price actually. Also, it's kind of a fast food style restaurant where the kitchen staff will actually tell you go sit, bring you a menu & bring your plate, but you don't really get an attentive table service otherwise... But they do suggest generous tipping in the 15-25% range on the terminal when paying which is a bit much for a minimal service. Long story short, ok restaurant, but very far away from deserving its current high rating in my experience. Food, comfort & service were all lacking.
Really disappointed with the food & service. We made a big order through Uber eats on June 6th & it took 2hours+ to get it. First of all, they gave our order to the wrong driver & when we finally got it, all the curries were missing the rice. The panang curry was very watery & the chicken was pretty dry. The noodle dishes looked decent. Not sure if I'll give this place another try.
This is the real deal, incredible food & lovely staff. I had pork dumplings, peanut sauce chicken & mango sticky rice - everything was incredibly delicious, highly recommend, you should come here! - Longan Juice is very tasty too - this was my first time trying it!
Visiting Montreal for the Grand Prix & was really looking for some Thai to enjoy. Came across Khao San Resto on Google Maps & placed an online order. WOW !!! The Red Curry was phenomenal as well as the Sweet & Spicy Crispy Chicken. The flavour was just wow !!! Our delivery guy was fantastic & fast too. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner. Highly recommend.
Take out so can't comment on the atmosphere but it's a small clean restaurant. The cooking is done in an open kitchen so you can watch them prepare your meal. I had the sweet & sour crispy chicken with Rice & pad Thai. Authentic & good quality & decent servings. In town for the F1 race & went back second time for a meal.
