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.
Absolutely loved my experience at Mai Thai Cuisine! The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried was full of authentic taste & perfectly cooked.
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

this restaurant is amazing!! the most authentic thai food my fiancé & i have had since visiting thailand🤤 so so so delicious! we will 100% be back next time we're in mtl
This Thai restaurant delicious food that tastes just like in Thailand. the staff are friendly & provide excellent service, & the restaurant's decor is unique.
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 😂 🍲 🌶?
One of the best Thai places out there!!
Incredibly fresh & delicious spring rolls & some of the best fried rice I've ever had!! & the service was incredible!!

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.
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 😂
Very good, authentic Thai food. The food was very flavourful, fresh, large portions. We weren't a fan of the signature seafood dish as it was too salty, battered & deep fried which was not expected from the menu description. Nice atmosphere & service with Thai style decor & open kitchen.
Mai Thai Cuisines is fantastic, I have ordered catering from them multiple times. Easy to coordinate, on-time delivery, & the food was so good. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, & guests kept asking where it was from (& went back for seconds). Super smooth experience every time, thank you Mai Thai!
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!
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!
