Les entrées sont bonnes, & les plats sont super gros, on a du prendre en take out alors que nous sommes de gros mangeurs. Les serveurs étaient attentif & super sympathiques.
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.
Belle decouverte, je me suis régalé. En cuisine nous avons des chefs Vietnamiens, Cambodgiens & Thaï...& bé ca se ressent dans les plats. Un delice, je vais y retourner. La deco est belle & le service rapide & agréable. Merci
Les plats sont vraiment bons & très copieux ! L'ambiance & le service sont agréables. Merci à Éric pour son temps & ses précieux conseils. Nous reviendrons !
Expérience superbe dans un lieu chaleureux où le personnel offre un service cinq étoiles. Les plats étaient délicieux. Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant.

Amazing restaurant. The food is delicious & the service is excellent. Been there a couple of times & it is good every time. Very consistent. The meals are delicious & the quantities are very generous. Definitely recommend this place!
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.
Although it's a bit pricey, the food is terrific as is the friendly & very efficient service. However, the restaurant's loud hip hop music has us questioning whether to go back.

Charmant restaurant, j'ai adoré l'ambiance & le décor. Que ce soit entre amis, en famille ou pour affaire, l'environnement était adapté. Il n'y avait plus de place sur leur belle terrasse, mais nous avons pu être au bord de la grande fenêtre pour ressentir le bel énergie sur la rue. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture, tout les plats étaient succulents. Nous avons mangé les ailes de poulets avec pleins de saveurs, salade de mangues, brochettes de poulet satay, boeuf coréen, nouille pad thaï, lap kai. C'était un explosion de goûts vraiment!! De plus le service était impeccable. Merci à Eric & Angie. À essayer!!! 😉
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.
