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.
Favorite place for a cozy meal, food is delectable & never gets old. Big up to the waitress Sasha for her radiant energy, I've never been so enthusiastic about tipping before ✨✨✨✨

Great authenticity. The todmun hai is on point. Except the broth stock should be consistent with chicken not beef. The beef stock didn't pair as well with the gai. We had street noodle quiew tiew dry moo was excellent included with fixing that you'd discover with Thai street food. & last dish was the crispy pork. Good as well. The atmosphere was cramped & busy. Not my preference. But the food flavors made it worth it. Overall great service & well attentive & friendly.
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.
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.
Really good Thai food! the restaurant is cozy & inviting, you order at the counter & they are pretty quick. The menu does come with pictures now & it has a good selection to pick from, the portions are enough for one person & get an appetizer to share. A favourite of mine nearby!

I ordered the Pad Thai, & the taste fits perfectly to what I'm looking for. It was sweet, savory, & peanuty. A well-balanced dish was presented appealingly. The ambiance of the place was pleasant & relaxing. The service was very accommodating, the staff were very nice; asking us if everything is good from time to time.
I love this place! The food is great & the staff are always super nice & attentive, the only thing I would say is that at times it can get very cramped in here!
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.
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.
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.
