Before entering this restaurant I was actually quoted saying I'm not a big fan of Thai food. I think I simply forgot about some of the quintessential dishes there are & this was a much needed reminder. The atmosphere at this restaurant was alright. Pretty average in truth; however, everything after that was amazing. We were in a bit of a rush & the waitress did such a great job to accommodate & was so helpful. The food was sensational; honestly I would go as far as to say'tres delicieux' as the Quebec would say. The Pad Thai & other dish pictured turned out to be the perfect pre MLS match meal (impact vs Orlando) & I would recommend it to anyone thinking about going to watch a game & wanting a bite of food beforehand… see you next time
Stumbled upon this place by accident but we were pleasantly surprised! The service was really great & accommodating- attentive but not over the top. The food was authentic & delicious! Best Thai food I've had in Montreal.
Ive been craving for Thai food for a long time & couldn't find a good one in town. Saw this on uber eats & decided to give it a try. I might ordered the wrong thing but the stir fry with crispy pork is very dry. Thai tea wasn't tasty but I don't know what was missing.
I have to say I am very disappointed, but it's because I am expecting a good Thai food but if you just want something filling it does the job.
Premièrement, service incroyable & personnalisé. Deuxièmement, nourriture fraîche, goûteuse & délicieuse. Troisièmement, je recommande vraiment cet endroit avec une ambiance cozy & agréable. Un beau 10/10 & une belle découverte pour commencer le printemps!
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)

I tried it again when they had a happy hour special & the food was amazing. The curry wasnt split, I asked for spicy & it was flavourful! The noodles were great, sweet spicy & sour, overall really comforting! I gave a four because I had small mistakes each time but then again, they were so nice polite & sweet on the phone I hung up with a smile. I recommend.
We visited this restaurant for authentic Thai food & they didn't disappoint us. The taste was great & the service was good, but we (as Thai people) were surprised with the bill that the restaurant charged us for additional spiciness. It was unacceptable & shameful for Thai restaurant. Please stop this.
Reply after owner's answer:
There was no'extra chili' price in the menu & we were not informed about the additional price during the ordering. In addition, there was no bill to confirm before the payment. But that is not really the matter. The important thing is that real Thai restaurants will never charge for the extra chili, because authentic Thai food is considered spicy as default. I just feel that this is not really a Thai restaurant that Thai people should visit.
Great experience! The staff was very kind & welcoming, & the service was fast. The atmosphere was cosy, & the Pad Thai was even better than I expected. I will definitely be coming back.

As soon as you go in there is a massive window that overlooks the busy street. My boyfriend & I sat there. It was just the two of us for a lunch & it wasn't busy. As soon as we got in, the place had a smell of warmth & chilly like essense. We ordered a Green Curry 🍛 & a pad kra Pao with a fried egg, & of course some sticky rice. We shared everything. & it was so filling. I saved this spot. I'll go back again!
Ça faisait tellement longtemps que je n'ai pas dégusté des saveurs thaïlandaises comme ça! J'ai failli avaler ma langue ! C'est 100% top ce restaurant pour manger sainement
