I ordered on Uber by mistake. Best mistake I ever made. The food was delicious. The pad thai was scrumptious & so was the chicken satay. I will definitely order again.
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).

I was hoping for a truly amazing pad thai but this one is just average & quite expensive for what it is. The red curry is ok but there's maybe 4 little pieces of vegetables so overall this is the quality of a corner take-out spot but charging like it's fine-dining. Definitely not worth the price.
Authentic Thai place, homey & delicious! This place serves the best green curry in the city. It is rich, creamy, flavourful, tons of chicken & subtle spice. The pad thai is a bit on the sweet side, but I am sure you can customize your order to adjust. Worth the detour!
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!
This is the best thai food you will find in Montreal! The food is amazing & authentic, notably the green curry, pad thai, & the lemongrass beef. The staff is very sweet, efficient, & attentive. If you can, dine in to get the full experience, with a view on the kitchen & the food's smell making your stomach growl the moment you step in!
Food was AMAZING. We got green curry, pad thai & lemongrass fried beef, & we cleaned our plates… The staff was so friendly & polite as well as being quick. I really enjoyed my experience here & will be back for sure. This is as authentic as it gets
If you, like us, periodically require a'spicy food fix,' then allow me to point you toward our latest choice: @maithaicuisine.mtl. We came in with a craving… & left very satisfied with the heat.
To their credit, they offer different levels of spice. We politely-but firmly-encouraged them to treat'spicy' as a personal challenge. What arrived was essentially a bowl of Thai peppers with enough seeds to qualify as a horticultural project. 🔥 We gleefully mixed them into everything for the full, glorious, sinus-clearing experience. Zero regrets. Minimal remaining taste buds. 😅
We began with the absolutely incredible Bang Bang Tornado Shrimp-succulent shrimp wrapped in crispy, seasoned noodles that shattered with each bite. It was crunchy, savory perfection & disappeared from the plate at a suspiciously rapid pace.
For mains, we dove into a crispy pork stir-fry that was cooked to perfection-beautifully caramelized with just the right amount of fat (makes you close your eyes mid-bite 🤤 🤤). The Pad See Ew was equally outstanding: tender noodles, rich flavor, & the ideal balance to our self-inflicted spicy inferno. 🌶?
Naturally, we washed it all down with Thai iced tea, a sweet, creamy firefighter rescuing us from our own bravado. Absolute perfection.
A special shoutout to our server, Gooi, who was amazing-helpful, lightning-fast, & completely unfazed by our enthusiastic pepper requests. A true professional.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We left happy & slightly glowing. If you're craving bold flavors, excellent service, & love spicy food, pay them a visit. Just maybe stretch first 😂 🍲 🌶?

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.
This is a real Thai restaurant by Thai chef in Montreal. They speak Thai here.
We tried several dishes. Pad Thai, Khao Soi Gai, Larb, fried pork with Thai basil, etc. All are Thai tastes. All of them had genuine Thai flavors, & everyone in our family really enjoyed the food. Personally, I found the dishes very good, though they would be even better if the sweetness were slightly reduced.
If you want to have Thai food when you are in Mobtreal, we certainly recommend this restaurant.
Wow! Everything is so delicious here & well proportioned! I've only ordered through uber eats & fell in love with this restaurant. Their Tom Yum Soup, Chicken red curry, Shrimp Pad Thai, Khao Soi are all so tasty & authentic! I had to stop going to the Thai restaurant near my home 😂

The restaurant provides the real thai flavor. It is a hidden gems in Montreal. Appetizers were all perfectly cooked. Pad thai was so amazing. Definitely would come back again!
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.
I've been ordering from Mai Thai Cuisine for a long time - the food is delicious, no complaints about that. But! My last two orders were disappointing.
On the previous one, the Tom Yum soup was spilled because the container wasn't closed properly. & today, I used an in-app promotion for 2 Pad Thaï for the price of one (around $23 for both) - but I was charged the full amount instead!
That's really frustrating & feels like a rip-off. I hope the restaurant pays more attention to packaging & respects the promotions they advertise.
Really great place with excellent food & staff. We had the pad thai, fried rice & drunken noodle which very prepared really well. The service was amazing & the staff were very inviting. We will certainly revisit next time.
