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.
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!

Très bonne cuisine, vous ne serez pas déçu.
Par contre, attendez-vous à être servi en anglais seulement.
Ça, c'est décevant. À Montréal, rue S-Denis, en plein quartier latin… c'est inacceptable.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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!
I really don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially since my first takeout experience here was amazing-which is why I've ordered a few more times. Unfortunately, the last two times have been really disappointing. The flavors just weren't there, & it didn't taste like the same quality at all. As someone who genuinely loves Thai food, it's a letdown to see such inconsistency.
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!
Hidden gems I love the Thai food here green curry with rice & salad papaya are so good 👍 this is my 2 time & never disappoint it
I will bring my friend back again
Stumbled upon this place a few months ago. It has quickly become one of my go to places. The food is amazing, I always take the papaya salad, extra spicy. I've had alot of their menu & one of my favorite dishes is the Pad kee Mao the thick rice noodles are fresh & chewy, the texture is unmatched & a rare find.
Absolutely try this place. The staff are full of smiles, polite & efficient.
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
