I don't live in Montreal but discovered this restaurant on google maps using the key words "sticky rice". Going through other review's photos, I spotted a mixed plate with what looked like fermented pork sausage & I was sold. The mixed plate, which features papaya salad, fish cake, crispy pork, fermented sausage & rice noodles, isn't technically on the menu, but when I showed them the photo from a past customer, they happily accommodated my request! The papaya salad was very good! Acidic, funky, crunchy, sweet & also featured salted crab which was very exciting to see & taste. Since my first time trying fermented pork sausage, I've been on the hunt for it in Canada & this one didn't disappoint. This was super funky & garlicky, with that signature deliciously bouncy texture. The server was very friendly & curious about my interest in Thai food & after talking about our experiences eating at Som Tum Jinda in Toronto, she was excited to recommend me their durian coconut sticky rice dessert, which was also very good. I was told that they have only been open for 2 months which explains why the restaurant wasn't busier during my visit- but based on the deliciousness, range in their menu, kind service & clean cute environment, I don't imagine it'll be this quiet for much longer. Excited to come back & try more!
This place is wonderful vibes, great food, excellent services. We would like to say Som Tum Thai is the best authentic Thai food ever. We enojy eating 🙏🙏.
The best authentic Thai restaurant in Montreal 😍 Need to try tomyum soup, pad thai, especially Papaya salad with extra crispy pork 💯 Taste delicious - Friendly service 👍🏻
Fantastic Thai food & amazing, friendly service! Our group of four asked our waitress to pick her top 4-5 dishes on their menu & we would share family-style. Was wonderfully delicious & everyone enjoyed. 😋👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😃
La madame de l'accueil est très aimable! Le pad thaï est délicieux avec des bonnes crevettes😍! Je recommande à tout le monde d'essayer en passant! C'est en haut du Vua Sandwich:)
By very far the best & most authentic Thai food I've had in Montreal. For a moment, while I ate my pad see ew, I felt like I was back in the streets of Bangkok. The genuine smiles & warm welcome of the staff confirmed to me that this was the real deal. I can't wait to come back & try the rest of the menu. Aroi mak mak! Kop khun krap! 🙏
I'm going to be completely real. This was the best Thai food I ever had so good perfect valence of spicy & salty & the service, the service was literally the best like whaaaaaaaatttt but I suggest to the people who get spicy pad-thai don't put all the chilli flakes it made my mouth on fire. I also suggest getting the tempura, its sooo crispy with the sauce too! Wow it made my taste buds do the Macarena
