Found this place based on others reviews. Had a craving for Thai & this place was close. We shared the spring rolls that were very good & enough for 2. Also shared the lemongrass stir fry with shrimp so we would have room for dessert. It was also amazing & filling but we had to try the coconut mango sticky rice that we heard about & it didnt disappoint. Highly recommend this place.

It is beautifully decorated & great food options. Service is always good as well. I have been here at least 4 times & have always had a good experience. The only dish I would not recommend is the Pad Thai (very popular Thai dish) - it tasted very bland.
Highly recommend the Thai Basil & Peanut Butter Chicken. The Mango Sticky Rice is also very refreshing (not very sweet but good).
Tried Mai Thai recently because we were craving Thai.
The mango salad was fresh & tangy but way too spicy, definitely not for someone who doesn't enjoy heat 🥵. My friend got the Thai basil stir fry with chicken & found it a bit too salty.
I had the Khao soi with tofu & that was the highlight for me. The curry was rich, creamy, & flavorful with a nice level of spice.
Overall, a decent spot but a bit inconsistent depending on what you order. I'd give it a 3.5/5
As authentic as it gets! My favorite Thai restaurant in Montreal. I've been back here many times. My go-to dishes are pad see ew & pad kra pao (crispy pork is a MUST), but honestly, everything is delicious :) If you're craving something sweet, don't miss the Thai iced tea & mango sticky rice!

I went to Mai Cuisine Thai yesterday for a cozy birthday lunch with my grandma, & it honestly couldn't have been more perfect.
This spot has been one of my favorites for a while. The space feels warm & inviting, with exposed brick & a colorful elephant mural that immediately makes it feel comforting & lived-in. It was snowing lightly outside, & watching the flurries through the window while sitting inside felt so peaceful. They also play a fun pop playlist, which I always appreciate.
My grandma loves spring rolls, so bringing her here felt like an obvious choice. We started with my staple appetizers. The vegetarian spring rolls, made from scratch in-house, are still my favorite. Perfectly crispy without being greasy, with fresh vegetables that still have a nice crunch, plus a sweet dipping sauce that ties everything together. Such a great birthday snack.
We also ordered the Thai hot wings, which come in a very close second place for me & are something I constantly crave. They were hot, juicy, & nicely crispy, coated in a spicy-sweet sauce with just enough heat to be exciting without overwhelming your taste buds.
I had my usual creamy Thai iced tea, & my grandma ordered ginger tea to warm her up.
Since we weren't very hungry, we shared the chicken pad Thai, which was comforting, balanced, & perfect for sharing.
When I mentioned it was my birthday, the sweet server brought me their homemade mango ice cream. Light, refreshing, & such a lovely way to end the meal.
Mai Cuisine Thai is one of those places that feels like a pause from busy city life. Cozy, welcoming, & made for slow lunches & good company. I loved introducing my grandma to one of my favorite gems in the city & celebrating a new year of life in such a simple, meaningful way.
We had the pad thai, red curry & mango sticky rice. The flavours was amazing; it was way better than we expected. The mango sticky rice was just okay. Their price is a bit high but that was expected for the location.
This restaurant is truly a gem. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Chris who had such amazing energy. The food was phenomenal. The portions were great. The chefs made everything fresh in the open kitchen & you can literally taste it. Everything was seasoned & cooked to perfection. We had to thank the chefs personally. I will definitely revisit if I'm back in Montreal!
Highly recommend the Calamari, Shrimp Pad Thai, Tum Yum Fried Rice, Tofu Drunken Noodle & Mango Sticky Rice!

This is the best thai cuisine I've had!! Everything was beautiful & delicious, & very authentic!! The staff are very welcoming & friendly, loved the experience & will be back again! Their pad thai & mango salad are my favorites items 😋
The restaurant was packed when we arrived & we were lucky to have gotten a table without having to wait. I would suggest reserving a table if you plan to visit this restaurant. Not only was the restaurant crowded, I felt like there was very little space in between the tables so dining here felt a bit less intimate than I would have preferred. The food itself was great, I enjoyed the flavours but it was a little bit too salty & I wish the food would be a bit spicier. The mango sticky rice dessert was so pretty but I also felt like the sweetness was lacking a bit. The service was decent. The waitress was running around the whole night so she couldn't really refill our water or check up on us but she was still polite & respectful. She wasn't really friendly or welcoming due to the rush but she was still working really efficiently & the food was served really quickly after we ordered which was surprising considering the amount of people at the restaurant.
We had a wonderful experience dining at Mai Thai. We were a group of 7 people, celebrating my uncles 90th birthday. We ordered the papaya salad, & calamari, they were incredible. The house sauces were humming with the right balance of sweet, sour & spicy.
For the mains, we ordered pad thai with shrimp, two from their signature collection, the crispy pork with Thai basil & green curry with chicken. Everything was outstanding & delish. The food is cooked in an open kitchen & our server Goui, ( I hope I got your name right! ) was such sweet & lovely person.
Nothing was overly spicy, we loved all the dishes, the portions were generous & the flavours very authentic.
The mango sticky rice, was just the right note to finish the night.
A fantastic combination of authenticity, flavour, great food & cozy ambience.
Can't wait to be back soon.

It was awesome place to have the authentic Thai . All my order dishes was delicious, especially the mango sticky rice. Papaya salad, pad sew, red curry & satays
The pad thai , if they add the fried tofu as garnish would absolute .
This is a great spot to eat & enjoy a fun time socializing with friends. The restaurant is small, cozy, & beautifully decorated. The food is definitely worth making a detour for.
While we were seated, we saw many people coming in to order takeout-it's clearly a favorite among locals. The menu was thoughtfully designed, & the presentation of the dishes matched the quality of the taste.
If you decide to drop by, try the pineapple fried rice-it was a favorite in our group! Also, don't miss the mango sticky rice. & be sure to explore the rest of the menu-they have some excellent noodle options as well.
Lastly, I want to highlight the service. It's easy to forget that the person serving us plays a big role in the overall dining experience. A special shoutout to JOOI, who served our table-you were amazing!
We traveled from Philadelphia in the US & this little restaurant's food blew our mind compared to most of the Thai restaurants back in Philly. Very cozy atmosphere. HIGHLY recommend to try the papaya salad!! (we ordered mild spicy) & mango sticky rice.
Food is really good, plus the mango sticky rice is the best I've found in Montreal so far, the staff is extremely kind & I think I'll be coming back quite often.
INCROYABLE !
LA meilleure place pour un bon repas thaïlandais !
Une merveilleuse découverte, notre premier restaurant qui ressemble le plus à la cuisine comme en Thaïlande.
Je recommande fortement.
& le Mango 🥭 sticky rice en dessert de la folie !!
Nous allons revenir, c'est sûr !
