Pad See Ew. Red Curry with beef. Green curry with chicken. Sweet & Sour Stir Fry. Chicken Pad Thai. Mango sticky rice.
Each dish, cooked to perfection. The presentation? Lovely. The taste? Phenomenal.
I was in Montreal for a short stay & I attended Khaosan on May 16th, at approx, 18:45. The reason I'm stating the date & time is so the staff that were present during my visit can be recognized for their amazing service. Our waitress was extremely professional, patient & attentive. The chefs? Wow. The food speaks for itself.
Every dish we ordered tasted brilliant. Not one item was left'to go'. No boxes were needed! We cleaned each plate - that's how scrumptious the food was.
I will definitely return to this restaurant whenever I'm in Montreal again.
100% recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants fantastic authentic Thai food.
Oder pad kra pow with crispy pork.. over all is great taste.,BUT the Tom yam soup is a bit sugary & salty, not spicy.. I rather want the pork a bit crispier than that .. it is so crispy like in Thailand 🇹🇭 .. service the best Yes

Best Thai !! Thump up love authentic Thai food spicy was perfect add & BBQ duck red curry with stick rice , pad Thai with shrimp & Sauté aubergine au crevettes
I will be cal again
Walked in randomly before leaving mtl, had ordered the pad gra prao, it wasn't first time trying this dish. Large portion, excellent price, very well balanced dish. Nice & spicy, salty, the egg cut through the intense seasoning. Also ordered their Thai milk tea which was super.
Le resto en lui même est très ordinaire, & il fait froid à l'intérieur. Le pad thai est passable: une grosse assiette de nouilles trop sucrées & à peu près pas de légumes dedans. L'entrée de crevettes frites ne goûte que…la friture. Passez votre chemin.
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

Visited Montreal with my girlfriend for couple days & this is the only place we went to multiple times. Food was top notch, service was always friendly, if you like Thai food & don't come here it's unfortunate. We got the spice level above medium & asked for the spice powder on the side. We ordered the red & green curry, stir fried basil, & pad see ew. Absolutely cleared it up
Excellent Pad See Ew, I'm always looking for a Thai place that hits as good as food in Thailand & this is pretty close. My only complaint is I wish this was closer to where I lived. Can't wait to try out the other dishes
I really enjoyed my time at khao san restaurant! I ordered the pad see ew & devoured it, because it's that good. In addition, I got a Thai green milk tea, so refreshing & good I can drink this all day every day! Lastly, the server was very welcoming & friendly.
Highly recommend trying if you're in the area!👌

My wife (Thai) & I (American) had lunch here today & it was the highlight of our day in Montreal. I lived in Thailand for 4 years & my wife (who has been cooking the best Thai food for me for the past 50 years) thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today. We had Nam Tok, Som Tum & Pad Si Ew. All was delicious but the Nam Tok was superb, maybe the best I've ever had!!! When we travel we try to stop at a few Thai restaurants along the way. We are usually disappointed. I can count on one hand the excellent Thai restaurants we've been to in the past 50 years & this is one of them. The owner & staff were super friendly too.
I come here regularly, & it never disappoints. The food is full of flavor, always fresh, & beautifully presented. You can truly taste the care in every dish. The staff is friendly & welcoming, & the space is cozy without being crowded.
I highly recommend trying their Pad Thai or any of their curry dishes - everything is full of authentic Thai spices & cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, & the prices are very fair.
It's one of those places you want to keep to yourself… but it deserves to be discovered! If you're looking for a comforting, delicious Thai meal in a calm atmosphere, this is the spot. 🙌🍜🇹🇭
Delicious Thai food at a very competitive price. Pad see ew is one of my favourite Thai dishes & this is the best I have had in Montreal. You can taste that it was cooked with skill in a ripping hot wok. The Thai tea was rich in flavour & a great addition to the meal.
Tried this place recently & honestly wasn't impressed. The pad see ew lacked any smoky wok flavor-it tasted flat. The pad Thai was a bit better, slightly above Thai Express quality, but still just okay.
The beef was very tough & hard to chew, & the tom yum soup had almost no flavor-bland & forgettable.
The best thing I had here was the Thai milk tea-sweet, strong, & refreshing.
Not sure why the overall rating is so high

We had the spring rolls, pad kee mao & pad see ew & requested it to be spicy. The flavors were perfect. It's the best, authentic Thai food that I've had in a while. The service was very friendly & quick.
I was in Montreal for the weekend & had Pad Thai from three different restaurants. This was the best, by far! Very flavourful, delicious, & a generous portion. The vegetable spring rolls were excellent too. & the price was very reasonable. I'll be back!
Amazing food & service as always xx pad thai noodles were top notch, the best texture ive ever tasted. The tom yum soup had the right level of spice & sourness, big portion too🥰
Even the candies at their counter are delicious :3
