Mae Sri Comptoir Thaï is a counter-serve Kuai Tiao place. We serve Thai noodles along with special rice dishes from our family's secret recipes. The name 'Mae Sri' literally mean “Mother Sri”. Sri is the name of Pamika’s mother. We believe in keeping the highest standard with fast serving and fresh ingredients.
Overall, Mae Sri Comptoir Thai showcases flavorful Thai dishes with strong noodles, curries, and soups that many diners praise for authentic, well balanced flavors, though portions are frequently described as small for the price and shrinkflation is noted by several. The dining experience is often highlighted by friendly service and a cozy, intimate ambiance, though seating can feel cramped and ordering is done at the counter with a QR code menu that can be finicky. Payment is sometimes made upfront and tipping can occur before service, which surprised some guests. Opinions on authenticity vary, with many praising genuine Thai tastes and fresh ingredients, while a few dishes are described as milder or not as robust as expected. Despite mixed notes, Mae Sri Comptoir Thai tends to attract repeat visitors who recommend trying multiple items such as pad Thai, pad see ew, green curry, tom yum, and boat noodles, and many leave with a positive impression of the overall experience and plan to return.
We were 3 people at our table each meal was served 15 mins apart.
I ordered the green curry chicken.
It was my mistake, 3 pieces of boiled chicken with skin & steamed rice.. To be fair, my friends enjoyed their meals, pad Thai & braised beef & noodles.
This place seems very popular so many must enjoy it.
Changing my review as the service quality is inconsistent despite the food being decent. Visited before a show yesterday, waited for a while after ordering, when the food is up they said the hainan chicken i ordered is out, it took them too long to inform me about it. I ordered green curry as they recommend changing into something with the same price, & chose rice instead of vermicelli. But when the dish came, it was with vermicelli. Also, different from last visit, the Thai milk tea is full of ice & got so diluted. Lastly, since they only accept payment ahead, we can't really reflect this in tipping. Very disappointing service.

We've been to this place twice now, the fried chicken is absolutely great! We also tried the noodles & rice, but they're not as special as the chicken. & don't forget the Thai milk tea - it's a refreshing treat. Overall, it was a great experience, & we'll definitely be back!
I love noodles & I was so excited to see this place as they have all sorts of Thai noodles. I wanted to have all the noodles on menu but of course I couldn't so let be realistic I ordered boat noodles as this dish is not easy to find in general. Turned out it didn't let me down, good portion, hot & tasty. Even better when they provided some extra seasoning to add at your soup ( if you like it more spicy or sweeter ). The place has indoor & outdoor area. Staff are friendly, I will go there again to try other dishes. Forgot to mention I also ordered take away rice with pork belly basil & it was wonderful too.
The fried hainan chicken combo is incredible. You get friend chicken with dipping sauce, rice & an incredible broth to pair with the rice, a complete & perfect meal all for $20. My only complaint is that looking at the menu in July 2025, they seem to only have the steamed chicken as an option. That they don't have a fried chicken option anymore makes me sad.
That is the most authentic Thai food I have ever experienced in Quebec. As a person who had lived in Thai,I can say Pad Kra Pao is my favourite all time of this place💕💕& the papaya salad is exactly the same taste. But rice is sometimes undercooked in khao Man Gai steamed chicken. But overall is great 👍

The soup warms your body & tastes great. The only thing missing to enjoy it more is a soup spoon. Using a regular spoon for soups isn't an enjoyable experience. The rice was soft & perfectly cooked. The chicken was also soft & succulent. Cutting it with the spoon was really easy.
Cozy little room with beautiful mood lighting. Attentive service. The food is outstanding, incredible depth of flavour, perfectly sized portions. Interesting presentation; the meats in most rice dishes are chopped, which allows balance when eating all elements on the plate. One of my favourite restaurants anywhere.

I'm always very skeptical trying Thai food in North America due to it being inauthentic to the real deal. . I ordered chicken rice & my friend ordered chicken noodle soup & we got two drinks. I've had much experience of Southeast Asian food & as soon as I walked into the restaurant as I smelt the aroma inside the restaurant, it was very nostalgic & it was very authentic. I could tell immediately that the food probably is very close to being as authentic as & good as it can be. The chicken rice was really good & the soup was amazing. My friend's chicken noodle soup was also very authentic. It was very comforting to have food like this in the winter. I really regret not trying that tom yum soup I will try it when I return. The reason why I'm giving four stars . the major downside to this are the drinks are absolutely horrendous & taste horrible. The drinks itself are traditional drinks that you would find in Thailand or Southeast Asia but I don't know what sugar they use because it tastes very very artificial. The artificial sweeteners or whatever they use completely make the drink inedible & disgusting. Me & my friend did not even finish half of the drink & we just left it. We will return to the shop in the future.
Inconsistent food quality is the biggest letdown here. Some days, the dishes are tasty & great value, representing a very accessible Thai food experience. Other days, the portioning is stingy & the food is mediocre, with heavy MSG flavors more noticeable than the ingredients themselves. As a specific example, on a good day (30% of the time), the Hainan steamed chicken rice is a spectacular dish, where the rice is aromatic with chicken oils & herbs, & the chicken is juicy but not fatty. On a bad day, the chicken is flavorless & rubbery, the rice tastes bland with too much herb & too little chicken oils, & the dish leaves much to be desired. I am a regular, & unfortunately it seems the consistency is worsening. Back in the day (3-5 years ago), I would have given 5 stars.
Nous avons été très déçu par ce restaurant thaï. La cuisine thaï est notre préférée, nous mangeons toute les semaines dans des restaurants thaï à Montréal & c'est la première fois que nous étions autant déçus. Le pad thaï était correct mais pas transcendant. Le mango sticky rice était immangeable. À 11$, nous avons seulement mangé la mangue & à peine goûté le riz qui était dur comme du béton & collant. Plusieurs problème dans le service au long de la soirée. Je ne reviendrai pas !

The food was really good. We tried their Pad Thai with chicken & prawns, Thai Milk tea, Hainan fried chicken with rice & their chicken balls appetizer. Would definitely recommend !
The food was overall really good. The steamed Hainan chicken & rice was excellent. We enjoyed the sticky rice dessert as well. Papaya salad was average, but the soups were interesting. The staff were really friendly & attentive. Had i been able to, would give the restaurant 4.5/5. One thing that brings it down is having to order up front & pay first. I get it, utilitarian, but it seems like a nice restaurant, so having to do a food court/canteen style seems off. However, they do bring the food.
I was really looking forward to the food here but unfortunately I wasn't satisfied with my experience. I started my meal with the vegé fried rolls which were decent but the sweet sauce (honey based) it came with stood out more than the actual rolls. For the mains, I got the vegan pad thai & the vegan pad see ew & both were overly sweet & had no spiciness to them. It just didn't taste authentic to me, it felt more like a North American take on Thai food. I was also surprised by the small portions, & the amount of tofu I got (I counted 6 small pieces in total for the pad see ew). I ended off the meal with two desserts; Mango sticky rice & tapioca pudding. The mangos from the sticky rice dish were bland & the sticky rice itself wasn't fresh, it felt like it was sitting out for long. However I really enjoyed the tapioca pudding, the pandan & the coconut cream were delicious. I think there's room for improvement so I hope for the best. Take care
What a special spot for authentic Thai style cusine!!! They have a wide-range of snacks, noodle soup, stir-fried noodles/rice, as well as veg options. We are all amazed by the rich flavour of their noodle soup, as well as pad thai. The ingredients are so fresh & unique. This is a definitely come-back-again place for our next teip to Montreal. Also great & friendly services from the lovely staffs, thank you for looking after our table of eleven hungry food hunters!
Beautiful little place. Loved their pad thai noodles, iced coffee was also good. Poulet frit thai Hainan was not good. The rice was very dry. Quantity of food per plate was perfect for a person, cannot be shared.
