I honestly can't believe I've taken this long to write a review. My man & I come here at least twice a month even though their menu is small because the beef krapow is just INCREDIBLE. the other main dishes (beef rendang & laksa) are also amazing but the krapow really is what makes this place so special. the perfect mix of beef with veggies & spices along with the crispiest basil leaves. I just love this place so much. Plus the staff are so friendly & cute!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the food!! It's flavourful, well-balanced & is not overwhelming. Since I do not eat spice so I was a bit apprehensive when all of their dishes are marked spicy. The wait staff who forwarded outstanding service to us assured me that the food's spicy level is well-tolerated & she was absolutely correct. The flavour of the food is extremely delicious with just the right amount of spiciness. I have been to Satu Lagi, another Indonesian/Malaysian Southeastern Asian restaurant area & we love the food there too but I find the food at Krapaw to be more down to earth, authentic & wholesome without everything coconut. I love coconut & its flavour, don't get me wrong but when you have every dish being coconut based, it gets old a bit after a while. & I am thrilled to find Krapaw's chefs being able to create dishes with variety of ingredients. & we are very grateful for the patience of the wait staff who was able to explain the dish to us as well as customizing the vegetarian dish the Lodey to include meat for my children. The soup is absolutely delicious with its addition of fried tofu, an ingredient that I never knew can exist in tumeric & cumin soup. Another thing to check out at this restaurant is the earrings on sale that are handcrafted by the owner's daughter as the wait staff mentioned to me. They are beautifully designed, very elegant with innovative forms & shapes that are aesthetically refreshing.

The only thing that I took one star off is its setting. I wish they have chairs with backs or more hooks for customers to hang their winter jackets & to change its tiles to be non-slip in the seating area. Chairs without backs & with only limited amount of hooks around are a bit difficult during winter when the customers have no place to hang their jacket & have to resort to placing them on the stools which can result in the jackets getting dirty when they fall especially when they are long &/or get splashed on with food especially when they eat Lodey (like what happened with my child). The tiles in the seating area can get very slippery when the customers step on them with snow from outside & that could potentially be a safety hazard with especially senior citizens & the mobility challenged.

Amazing food! Great taste & fully gluten-free menu! No issues so far with Celiac. Savory & medium spicy main dishes.
Desserts not too sweet & just the right amount. Super recommend.

Although, it was our first time trying your signature dishes on Super Bowl night; your Krapow Beef & Randang Beef portion was kindly generous & tasty but yet was greatly disappointed that them temperature of our dishes weren't steaming hot (& coconut rice wasn't fully cooked) & atmosphere of resto was also on the cool side.

Sadly, both my sister & I had gotten a severe upset stomach plus other symptoms 😢

Thank you for reviewing our feedback & look forward to hearing from you soon!

I ordered the beef Rendag via doordash. The taste is good at first since it has tasteful spices. However, the dish was Extremely Salty!! I had a hard time finishing it. I think it could be a good dish if they reduce the salt a bit, I would order the other dishes since it might be only this time that they accidently added too much salt

My partner is a celiac so the gluten-free menu was what drew us here but the food was incredible. We shared the two beef dishes on the menu, including the signature Krapow Beef, & both were awesome. The baby bok choy that accompanied both dishes was also out of this world good. We plan to go back again this week before we leave Montreal. Delish!

Krapow Montreal is like a little corner of Thailand right in the Plateau, perfect for anyone wanting to try some genuine Thai food. They've made sure everyone can join in, with a menu that's completely gluten-free. We tried the Boeuf Krapow & Poulet Sambal Belacan-both dishes were delicious & packed with flavor. The place has a relaxed, friendly vibe, making it just right for a quick bite or a more laid-back dinner. The staff are really welcoming, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Whether you're already a fan of Thai cuisine or just looking to try something new, Krapow Montreal is worth a visit, & it's easy to see why people keep coming back.
