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.
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
I tried Tom Yum noodles that had one spicy mark out of four. It was good.
I've been to Mae Sri in Downtown twice, & I've tried both Pad Thai & Tom Yum noodles. The Tom Yum noodles in Downtown had three spicy marks out of four.
I think they use different recipes.

I love this restaurant. Authentic Thai food with fresh ingredients & a nice ambiance. Good value for the price point. Everything I've ever ordered has been excellent. My favourite is the Tom Yum soup - very generous serving & delicious. Service is also excellent - staff are friendly & helpful. You order & pay at the cash first, which I don't mind as then you are not waiting for the bill when you need to get going, which I find happens in a lot of restaurants. Your food is brought to your table very efficiently. There is also a small patio for warmer months.
Ordered fried fish ball brochettes, the spicy seafood tum yum soup & the stir fry pork with thai Basil to go. All the food was delicious & still piping hot when I got it back to my place (10 min walk in March). I could eat the tum yum everyday.
This is my new go-to Thai restaurant in MTL. I can tell it is very authentic Thai food with the almost same taste & quality I could have in Bankok. PRICE IS ALSO REASONABLE, as it should be for real Thai food. I had Tom yum soup as their soups were touted as their specialization. & it was the best Ton yum I've had in MTL. But be aware, there's no luxurious decor or fancy cocktails as some people may prefer.

A friend & I stopped here for dinner & it was pretty good! The staff were very nice. The kar pow was great & my friend really liked her Tom yum soup! If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely try the Thai ice tea with condensed milk & the papaya salad.
My Thai boyfriend said it is really authentic as it reminded him of his childhood. The spices & flavors were spot on. Everything was delicious & staff were friendly. Definitely recommend this hidden gem! We ordered the Kao Man Kai Tod (Thai Hainan Fried Chicken) & the Kuai Tiao Tom Yum.
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.
Yummy food. I had a beef noodle dish & Thai Iced Tea. Interestingly, you wait to be seated, sit, look at the menu & stand up & order & pay at the counter & then bring a number back to your table.

Le service est trop lent. J'ai attendu 30 minutes pour recevoir mon tom yum, & il n'y avait pas d'autres tables en attente de plats. Malheureusement, le tom yum n'était pas bon non plus.
I'm waiting for 30 minutes for take out 😔- I feel sad but when i got my food & taste it! Weeewww it's yummy - thank you anyway - 5 star for all aspect I don't mind waiting 😂
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.

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 😃
Overpriced mediocre food... Tom Yum is okay. Thai Basil Porc was delicious, their only saving grace. Their Pad Thai was horrible, how can you justify serving a pad thai that is less tasty than Thai Express & on top of that frozen veggies (cauliflower & broccoli) for 16$. Daylight robbery. Their little tapioca dessert was not bad but pricey.
The best Tom Yum outside Thailand, Mango Sticky Rice - good, but not perfect, other dishes - a lottery. Very slow & unintuitive service. Better order everything at once, reordering is a hustle.
