Overall, Le Petit Dek Sen earns praise for authentic Thai flavors, with Pad Thai and Khao Pad delivering bright, balanced profiles and tofu that is well seasoned, while the mango sticky rice is a standout; the kitchen is clean and the staff are friendly, portions are generous and prices reasonable, and vegetarian options are appreciated. Some reviews mention slower service and longer waits between courses or for deliveries, reflecting busy periods, but the overall vibe remains casual and welcoming and many look forward to returning.
I have been here a few times & each time I enjoyed my meal. Portions are good & service friendly. I love that they use a lot of veggies in many of their dishes. The flavours were bursting in my mouth. I had the papaya salad for the first time as it sometimes very hard to get as it sells out. I tried the eggplant & tofu dish, the stir fried noodles with tofu & the cashew one as well we the appetizer referred to as lucky bags & the mango salad. Everything was very good. It is wonderful to go to a restaurant that has vegan options & all of them were delicious. The meat dishes were also good as my friends who fined with me enjoyed their meals. The only thing is the bathroom could use some repair & an overhall.
Incredible new spot in NDG. The Kra Pao is unreal. Explosive flavor. Will be frequenting. Have now done both dine-in & pickup & both were excellent & quick.

Absolutely loved this place! The service was amazing - everyone was so patient, kind, & especially attentive with our allergy (we requested no peanuts) & they handled it so carefully, which we really appreciated.
We ordered a bunch of dishes to share so we could try everything:
• Sam Chan Thod Nam Pla
• Pad Thai with shrimp (no chop suey)
• Khao Kra Pao pork
• Khao Kradook Moo Toon
• Panang curry chicken
Everything was delicious & honestly tasted like authentic Thai food (in my opinion). They were super accommodating with all our preferences & substitutions, which made the experience even better.
The spice level was perfect, portions were generous, & the whole vibe of the restaurant is really cute. Sharing everything was such a good idea because we ended up loving every single dish.
Also the mango sticky rice & thai milk tea were very good!!
In my opinion, best pad thai I've had in a while!! For someone who goes out with friends & can't have anything spicy, I ADORE this pad thai!! Flavorful & fresh everytime I get it! The other dishes are also excellent for anyone loving spice (says my husband lol) & very warm service! I was suggested the taro surprise bags & YUM! Great crunch & a perfect appetizer for carb lovers :P
I've had a lot of Pad Thai but this one had a totally unique (& wonderful) taste profile. Lightly smoky, sweet & salty. The tofu is also well seasoned & very tasty.
The Khao Pad had rice that was perfectly fried, with garlicky undertones & similarly delicious tofu.
Regret not having found this place sooner (they opened in Dec 2025 & would have really helped brighten winter) but I'm eager to go back!
Food was exceptional. Service was super warm & attentive. Come hungry & order lots of different dishes. Probably my new favourite mango sticky rice in Montreal (& I've tried a lot of spots).
Good prices, & filling portions.
Taste : Plates were not spicy enough, we requested extra chillies to complement the meal. Fried egg was room temperature.
Service : my only real complaint is about the slow service despite us being the only customers there…taking orders, prepping food, everything took way too long. We saw the chef leave the restaurant then come back to prepare our mains, leaving about 30 mins wait between our appetizers & main dishes.
