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.
The food was really good, had the baa mee moo soup. Service was good too, not too long despite going there as a big group. However, there was a very strong bad smell in the entire restaurant (basically smelled like the toilet) - that really affected the overall experience. If it wasn't a work event I would've left before ordering food due to the smell.
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.

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.
Great food with good flavour. The beef stew noodle soup reminds me of some Chinese beef stew I had when I was younger. Price is reasonable. Would go again.
Le personnel était agréable & nous avons été bien accueillis. Nous n'avons pas trouvé la soupe exceptionnelle mais il faut reconnaître qu'elle était bien garnie ! Cependant, bien que ce ne soit pas la « spécialité » du lieu, il est assez ordinaire de payer un pad thaï avec aussi peu de viande à ce prix là...

Can't stop thinking about the beef noodle soup. My husband & I loved it. They didn't have high chairs for my toddler & the restaurant is small but the food made up for it. Will definitely come back!
My Thai friend brought us to this Thai restaurant. The Seafood Tom Yum Noodle Soup is quite good. We all like Thai food, & one of us went to eat it again the next day.
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.

We went today because it's not far from home, what can I say, the food is delicious, but in my opinion, it was very salty & greasy, we took chicken & beef soup. But the rolls are very tasty, vegan really😅the staff is friendly, but you have to pay before you eat. Respectively. You don't know how much to tip because you don't know what the service will be like. The atmosphere is just normal, average.
The vibe in that place was super chill & lowkey. Loved the touch they made with the cups they served our thai tea with! The appetizers are alright, but the main star of the show were the soups! The servers would recommend you trying their soups, & you should listen to them! We took 3 different soups. They are so generous with the meat & the noodles, & the broth is very rich in flavor!
Petit resto très agréable! Un très bel accueil de la part de tout les employés, les 3 avec qui on a eu affaire, très gentils & souriants, explique bien le menu & les tolérances au plat. La bouffe était bonne, soupe tom yum bien riche en goût & ingrédients, entrée mix de viande très savoureuse aussi! A retester & aussi voir leur autres emplacement d'un style différent 😃
I was recommended this restaurant last week by a friend of mine & i understand why it was recommended! The vibe of the place is super relax & cozy! I took the baa mee moo soup, which i'm glad i took because it's one of the best soups i've had in a while downtown. The service was great, the servers & manager were super nice & they're the ones who recommended the soup! I recommend anyone who doesn't know what to eat to go & try it out !

Je suis allé souper à Maé Sri comptoir thaï se samedi & je suis resté impressionné par l'expérience exceptionnelle qu'ils offrent à leurs clients. J'ai été chaleureusement accueilli par le personnel un gros merci à Garen, qui était non seulement amical mais aussi incroyablement professionnel, il a pris le temps de m'expliquer le menu ainsi que les différents plat à essayer. Bref, nourriture A1 & service A1 aussi
La nourriture était bonne dans l'ensemble, quoi qu'un peu cher pour ce qui en est... Une entrée très très simple de salade de papaye verte avec de la saucisse asiatique (du baloney lol) & du choux vert cru pour +20$ what?!?!..... Nous avons commandé des soupes. L'une d'elles était affichée comme peu épicée, mais honnêtement très épicée, au point où la sueur coule en mangeant cette soupe. Le gérant nous a répondu (poliment) que même des enfants mangent cette soupe.... Nous a fait sentir un peu stupide. La serveuse par contre, une vraie perle! Elle nous a offert un dessert gratuit que nous n'avons pas pris, elle s'est excusée de cette expérience (chose que le gérant n'a même pas faite). Ce qui m'a dérangé de cet endroit, c'est que comme dans un fast food, on paye avant de recevoir la nourriture.... En incluant le pourboire. Aux vues de la soirée, je n'aurais pas laissé un pourboire aussi généreux... Est-ce que j'y retournerais? Je ne pense pas. D'autres restos authentiques Thai avec une meilleure offre que celle-ci.
So I'm gettin over a mild flue & needing to get some nutrients in me & so I look up soup on maps & I the first review I read says "best soup ever", so I roll the diced go there & order some broth. It was the best damn broth ever & the guy working there is super nice. I go to pay & he says it's on him & got that tasty broth for free. Im happy I love so close bc I will frequent this place at least once per week... enjoy!
This place has fancy decorations. But the food is so average. Some of the food just tastes straight bland. Pork doesn't have a taste. Soupy dishes look like packaged sauce, not sure how fresh.
