The food was tasty. There is no doubt in that. However, for 50 dollars, I got something that was worth around 15, 20 to the max. Half a mango, less than a cup of sticky rice was 13$. Then,PANEANG was NOT worth 24 bucks (portion wise). 24 bucks is what you would pay for a high-end ENTRÉE. LOVED the flavors, but price is NOT worth it.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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)
We bought Pad Kra Pao, Crispy shrimp, Thai fried rice & mango sticky rice. We came to Montreal for a short vacation & after a very long time I had "authentic thai food" at Khao San Montreal. Food was so good, portion size & prices are reasonable. Will definitely come back when we visit Montreal again. Was craving for Thai & it definitely hit the spot! Best thai food ever! Coming from a person who visited Bangkok frequently. Staff is super kind & friendly & helpful!

I love Thai food! What I love more is AUTHENTIC Thai food. Khao San Resto didn't disappoint at all. The food & service exceeded my expectations. Eating there truly brought back memories when I visited Thailand years ago. We ordered mango salad, red curry with shrimp, & beef stir fry with ginger. We also got vegetarian & shrimp Tom Yum soup. Our server was Gooi & she was great! I'm definitely coming back here to try more dishes!
I recently visited Thai Khao San & loved their papaya salad & mango sticky rice! The papaya salad was a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, & spicy, with crisp green papaya & a satisfying crunch from the peanuts. The mango sticky rice was heavenly-soft, sweet rice paired with juicy, ripe mango & creamy coconut drizzle. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Highly recommend for an authentic Thai dining experience!
If you've been on the real Khao San road at least before 2012 or the Phi Phi & you've been disappointed in any Thai place you tried since, this is the place you gotta try. Amazing service, flavor, proper spice level (thai, not North American), proper wok hei... I've had papaya salad, basil stir fry with beef, Thai milk tea & mango sticky rice. Can't wait to go back.
This place is authentic! We had the Thai iced, green curry (with shrimp), mango salad. All were delish. The pad see ew was good. Not as spicy as we'd hoped. Overall a great experience, Gooi was a great host. Definitely recommend this place!
Hole in the wall place... it's a bit confusing when you approach the building since there are multiple restaurants & banners hanging. This place is on the first floor. We had vegetarian food there for dinner that day - & all the food was pretty good. The Tom kha soup was delicious, & the mango salad was popping with flavor. We requested that the restaurant sub tofu & they we got plenty of it!!! The curry was authentic - thin & slightly runny & I'm told authentic Thai curries often are. We didn't try any dessert. Gui was the only server & there were 3 tables occupied & more tables turning - although slowly- as time went by. She did a great job of hustling around & managing the tables with a smile. The portions are fairly small, so be prepared to order some more.
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!
I'm totally in love with this adorable Thai restaurant! It's like stepping back into the days of enjoying scrumptious Thai street food on Khaosan Road. The food was absolutely amazing; it was like savoring homemade meals in Thailand. 🇹🇭 I even had the chance to customize the spiciness level of my pad thai & stir-fried basil crispy pork. & oh, the heavenly mango sticky rice for dessert, such a fantastic touch to serve fresh & piping hot Thai authentic dishes straight from the wok. We even got to see the wokhei technique in action! A huge shoutout to the Lady Chef, 👍👍Don't miss out on the Tam thad (mixed combination papaya salad 🌶 sweet sticky with durian & coconut milk, it's so unique & it's the ONLY place in Montreal that serves this. I'll be back againg for sure
