There are many authentic Thai menu & the owners are Thai so you will receive food that is 100% Thai style. I was very satisfied my dinner, This restaurant will definitely become my regular restaurant for sure.
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.
Genuinely my favourite Thai place in the city!!! this place is my go to & i recommend to all my friends. I believe the staff are Thai as they speak to us in thai & the flavours are authentic by our standards, at least.

Best thai restaurant in Montreal. Staff is sooo sweet & the food you can tell is from the heart. Soo good really recommand. Also the inside is beautiful !
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!

It's an authentic Thai restaurant with truly Thai flavors. The owner & staff are Thai, so you can be confident that the food is prepared with genuine Thai taste. It was the happiest meal I've had, & beyond that, the staff are incredibly kind & provide exceptional service, making the whole dining experience truly wonderful. If you're looking for real Thai cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant-you won't be disappointed.
Couple months ago, this place was great & we would go with closed eyes. Last time, the food was less than average, the toilet is not heated so it's freezing, no running water to wash your hands. We took the dumplings, it says 5, we got 4 & asked why, the answer was'they bigger now'. But they were disgusting. Anyway, don't recommend anymore, will try another Thai spot near.
