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.
This seems like a bougie place for Thai food. However, the food was pretty expensive for the small portion size ($18 before taxes), & you pay upfront (in that case, don't tip! Leave a cash tip after if you want). There apparently is no physical menu & the menu must be from a QR Code, & you order at the counter. The restaurant itself is pretty cramped.
Surement un endroit qui doit plaire aux étudiants de McGill, mais perso mon conjoint & moi avons trouvé ça insipide, beaucoup trop cher & en parfaite inadéquation avec les photos du menu. Le bouillon de la soupe thai au boeuf braisé sentait (!) mauvais & goutait pareil. Les options végés sont un véritable scam. Cet endroit devrait faire un examen de conscience. J'avais juste hâte de rentrer à la maison me brosser les dents.

Unacceptable value for money. $15 for 4 spring rolls filled with nothing but vermicelli is a total rip-off. The portions are tiny & look nothing like the photos on the menu. It's way too expensive for what it is. Very disappointing for a Thai restaurant.

Rapport qualité-prix inadmissible. 15 $ pour 4 rouleaux de printemps remplis de vermicelles, c'est du vol. Les portions sont ridicules & ne correspondent absolument pas aux photos du menu. C'est beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est. Très décevant pour un restaurant thaï.
The food itself was good but not sure this is an authentic Thai place. It has very few of the classic authentic dishes you can find everywhere in Thailand. Along with meager meat portions which lowkey feel rationed.
Ouff ! Tom yum prit dispendieux pour la quantité , pad thaï le poulet goûtait comme s'il avait été cuit dans l'eau & après mis par dessus c'était vrm horrible
The food is really good but the portions are quite small for the cost (smaller than an average restaurant, definitely smaller than an average asian restaurant). You have to pay & tip before getting served. The waitress brought her personal phone with a screenshot of a QR code for us to scan to access the menu, which was weird. My friend got served the wrong meal & instead of leaving it to her as an apology (the portions are so small, it was practically an entree) they took the half eaten plate away (to be thrown in the garbage i guess) & made her wait 30min longer for the correct meal.
My thai friend said it was true thai food compared to other places, so if you are craving that style of cooking & don't mind the small portions, this is the spot. Otherwise I think the guest treatment was a little too whack for me.

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.
Casual dining. Order & pay at the till. Grab a seat. We had beef soup, pad thai. All taste great & flavorful. Portions are good, but can't say generous. Would visit again to try other menu items.
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.
The best thai restaurant in Montreal! Im absolutely blown away by the flavour & thé authenticity of the dishes. I got the pad thai & dry noodles. Phenomenal. Highly recommend the thai green tea milk tea, refreshing! Nothing bad to say!
This is the best Thai food we have had in a long time. We had the spring rolls , Pad Thai & the Sukhothai (soup) . My soup was so tasty. There were so many levels of flavour. I was truly impressed. The place itself is really cute. Nice decor & atmosphere. Wish we lived close by because this would be my go to for Thai!

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.
Excellent resto thaï avec des plats savoureux! J'adore les nouilles au boeuf braisé, le curri vert & le poulet hainan. J'y vais souvent comme j'habite dans le quartier & le service est amical & chaleureux.
Ça m'a fait rire de lire le commentaire de Christine Monate, j'aimerais pouvoir donner 1 étoile à son avis. Elle cherche un repas rempli de saveur dans les rouleaux croustillants & prétend connaître la cuisine thaï! Le menu entier est constitué de plats thaïlandais qui goûtent comme en Thaïlande, & mes ami.e.s Thaï le confirment … Les propriétaires sont thaïlandais, plusieurs membres de leur équipe sont thaïlandais.e.s, alors je souligne que Christine est une imposteur.
P.S.: J'ai trop hâte d'y retourner pour me régaler!
The food was a bit disappointing. I was very excited to hear this place had boat noodles as I fell in love with in when I was in Thailand. However, the broth was not good. It was very thick & foggy - looked like the broth was made without removing the meat scum. You can see it in the photo.
We also had one of their dry noodles which had no flavour.
The pork ball was alright, a bit on the mushy side. The beef/ pork slices were good though. It had a nice texture & flavour to it.
I wouldn't come back… it's not worth the 20$ per bowl.
Might be the only place in the city that does boat noodles! Definitely a treat worth seeking out if you can as they're pretty rare to find on most thai restaurant menus in the city!
The noodles were overall great & made like how I remember in Bangkok down to the thai basil!
