Mai Thai Cuisine is repeatedly described as an authentic Thai spot with bold, well balanced flavors, generous portions and a cozy open kitchen vibe on St Denis, where dishes such as Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Green Curry, Drunken Noodles, calamari, papaya salad and mango sticky rice are highlighted for freshness and depth, and spice levels can be adjusted to personal heat tolerance. Service is generally praised as friendly, fast and attentive, with a welcoming atmosphere, though a few experiences note busy times that slow down service or tight seating, and some guests mention price or occasional sweetness or saltiness in certain dishes. Overall Mai Thai Cuisine is seen as a standout destination for real Thai flavors and a warm, family run feel, with strong takeout and catering options and frequent plans to return.
Very good authentic Thai food. The menu is like one you will find in Thailand. I had mine delivered & was very impressed, imagine it would taste even better inside the restaurant. You don't find Khao soi & Larb on many western Thai restaurant menus. Highly recommend
I really liked the vibe of this restaurant. The dining area was open so you can see the kitchen staff preparing meals. The exposed brick with nice wall art, & Thai art & statues interspersed around the modern looking dining room also added to the cozy vibe.
The service was great, our server was super kind & efficient. The food & drinks were so flavourful & fresh. Highly recommend.

Went for lunch with a friend. We only managed to take a photo of the appetizer bc we inhaled the main course as soon as they come out 🤣 This was my second time here & everything was just as good as the first time 💕 Highly recommend!
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.
Amazing Thai food in the heart of Montreal! Everything tasted authentic, fresh, & full of flavor-just like home-style Thai cooking. The dishes were beautifully presented & perfectly balanced, & the service was warm & welcoming. You can really feel the passion of a family-run restaurant. Highly recommend Mai Thai Cuisine if you're craving real Thai food on St-Denis!
Lors d'un séjour à Montréal, nous avons découvert ce restaurant à la cuisine goûteuse & très généreuse. Tout était délicieux.
On ne peut recommander fortement cet établissement à Montréal situé non loin de Berri-UQAM.
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!

It was a lovely meal & environment! I've visited northern Thailand & this khao soy is one of the best that I have had outside that country. My parents in law were with us & it was there first introduction to Thai food & they love it, they are spainish so that means a lot. Service was great. 100% will return & recommend when visiting montreal.
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.
The quality of the food decreased incredibly! Last time I was there it was 2 years ago & the food was extremely good. It tastes like Thailand. Authentic. Now it's salty & too sweet. Nothing like before. We ordered a pat sew eu it was disappointing. I don't recommend it anymore.

Très bon restaurant. Les plats sont copieux, les serveuses sont très gentilles & souriantes.
Mes parents & moi nous nous sommes régalés. On ne peut que recommander.
Nous avons pris les rouleaux impériaux, pad thaï, riz frit à l'ananas & en dessert le riz gluant à la Mangue. & tout était délicieux.
Second time going there with friends. The times that I've gone there are never disappointing!
Best Thai food I've ever had in Mtl & the service is excellent as always! The waitress who served us (June 26, 2025) was super sweet & even thanked us in our native language (Tagalog) which was really nice. 🤭 She was also super kind to offer me another takeout box when I broke mine accidentally. 🤣
If you're ever on St-Denis & looking for authentic & delicious Thai food, highly recommend you check out this place.👌
I know I would go back. 😉
As a Thai traveling across Canada & really missing authentic Thai flavors, I was so happy to find this place! The food tastes close to home, & the Plara Som Tum is actually even better than some I've had back in Thailand. This spot truly satisfied my craving for a good Thai meal. Highly recommend!
