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
For the full authentic Thai experience (authentic Thai flavours, Thai-family owned, Thai Chefs, the genuine kindness of a service done by Thai themselves) in Montreal, I recommend Khao San.
& Khao San is really well located in an area with plenty of things to do around. I will come back to enjoy more of your great food, Khao San!
Excellent restaurant thaï très authentique. Si vous demandez que la salade de papaye soit comme en Thaïlande, elle sera très piquante ce que j'ai personnellement beaucoup apprécié, mais ne vous inquiétez pas, le personnel s'enquiert de votre préférence. Le cari vert est superbe ainsi que le laarb & le porc croustillant également. Je recommande!
