C'est devenu notre « go to place » quand nous voulons être sûrs d'avoir un bon repas. Notre plat préféré est le tilipia avec les épinards frits & le panang curry aux écrevisses. Tout est bon, essayez le surtout leur belle terasse en été.

This is one of my favourite Thai restaurants. Only reason why I left 4 stars is because I find it way too expensive. 27$ for a pad Thai is absurd. Service good & food really good. I just don't go as often anymore because it's too expensive. They have one of the best red curry's in town tho!
Got the paneang curry for takeout so I can only speak to that, but it's so good that I had to stop & write a review. This was exactly what I had been craving. So flavorful & has a perfect kick without being too spicy (but you can adjust the spice level). A little pricy, but so worth it. Plus, the portion size was generous so you could make two meals out of one I'd say.
The food is a must try. I had the Tom Kha soup the Green Curry (C3) dish + shrimp. They were very tasty & flavorful. Other members of my party ordered the PadThai & the Cari Paneang (with peanut based stew & fried spinach... We enhoyed every bite to the last... The service was friendly, fast & courteous.. The portions are huge & the prices are very reasonable. Honestly, food & service is amazing.. Come try & see for yourselves. Eric served & the owner Lan came to the table to ask if we enjoyed our meals & was quite welcomingnl & friendly. She even did our cocktails.. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is not your regular Thai restaurant. Every single recipe on their menu is a step above everything else you can find in montreal, or dare I say, in QUEBEC.
The Pad thai, Mango salad & PokPok wings are OUT OF THIS WORLD. You also have to try the Spare ribs, the curry, & The Amok fish. Just incredible.
No pictures on my review because when food is this good, you don't have time to pull your phone out.
Even the drinks are incredible.

Very nice staff, good atmosphere, & delicious tasteful Thai plates. The only complaint would be that in our big bowl of chicken curry, there was just 3-4 very very small pieces of thin chicken. It was mostly vegetables. I would give a 4.5. Tip: We ordered with chili spiciness level. Which was enough for me, but for my friend no. So we ordered a side chili for him. Otherwise you may end up with too much spiciness.
This place is criminally underrated. I've walked past it so many times but we eventually went in twice, & both times it was good. Once on a Friday, once on a slow day. It is so rare to find consistency in restaurants at this price point. Portions are huge & are really fresh, even what you would traditionally presume is not. Try their general tao, or panang curry. Phenomenal. Cocktails are a bit pricey but otherwise literally zero complaints, will likely be one of our regular spots.
The flavor of all dishes is very good. Even the wonton soup which is not really a Thai dish & I had no expectation (just because I need to order it for my kid) but they added a good twist to it & make it surprising. The green curry is loved by everyone in my family. The pompano fish is fried & seasoned properly (crispy outside & moist inside). The plating for all dishes is pleasant. The only negative is the beef. This ingredient itself was not good in any dish that has beef when I had my meal. Not sure if it is a one time situation. It was chewy & dry, although flavorful.
The ambiance of the restaurant is undeniably inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that sets the stage for a potentially delightful dining experience. However, the dishes were somewhat disappointing. The beef douchi was overwhelmingly salty, overshadowing any subtlety the dish might have had. The dry vegetables on top didn't add much, & the bok choy was difficult to chew-likely due to being either overcooked or too old, which made it rather unpleasant. The curry, while initially promising, was dominated by an overpowering peanut butter flavor that masked the other spices & ingredients. Additionally, the small spoon kept slipping into the curry, which added a bit of frustration to the experience. On a positive note, the waiter was good-attentive & friendly, which helped improve the overall experience. With such a pleasant ambiance & solid service, it's unfortunate the food didn't live up to expectations.

Ordered it few days ago on Uber eats for the first time, I'm always very skeptical trying out restaurants without a relative recommending, I was very pleasantly surprised, had a pad Thai & a red curry chicken meal, both were very tasty, & delicious, immediately looked the place up as I want to go for dinner in soon. Best discovery I've had in a while. Thank yo & compliments to your chef.
Overall good. Generous portions. Beef dish was very yummy, green curry not nearly spicy enough but that is my own taste. Music in the restaurant was very loud but we chose the furthest seat outdoors & very much enjoyed the vibe of the street.
A five star from me. This has to be a must-visit for anyone who likes good Thai food. I have never had chicken wings so good in my whole life, combined with a thick sauce it is a clear winner. Chicken satay though portion could be bigger for the price, is also very tasty, peanut sauce to die for. We also had red curry sauce with beef, was so comforting & spicy. I highly recommend
