Did order through DoorDash & picked up. Food was still hot by the time I got back to my room. Wish they had put forks/spoons in the bag but I found a way to devour.
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!!
Nourriture délicieuse ! Chaque plat était savoureux, bien préparé & présenté avec soin. Le service était également très agréable : personnel accueillant, souriant & attentif sans être envahissant. L'ambiance était chaleureuse, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus plaisante. 🤤✨

Excellent Tom Yum soup! Excellent seafood dish: Seafood pad kha ka chai. If you don't want sugar in your tea, let your server know. Excellent service. Very comfortable chairs. Nice casual decor. Was too eager to eat to remember to take photos.
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.

Nous sommes allés souper samedi dernier, & nous avons dû garder notre manteau d'hiver tout le repas. Pour des Québécois comme nous c'est un total manque de respect. Vous auriez mérité 5 étoiles si j'avais été en plein été mais je me sens généreux, & je vous donne trois étoiles car vous auriez dû avoir une seule étoile pour l'atmosphère & l'ambiance qui a été des plus déplaisante. Par chance, la bouffe était bonne, par contre les portions peu généreuses est quand même assez dispendieuse. 80 $ pour deux sans boissons, ni breuvage. Est-ce que je retournerai avec ma femme & mes enfants pour leur offrir un souper tel que nous l'avons vécu. Non ! Vous devez impérativement mettre une double porte, afin de couper le froid À votre clientèle, qui avait tous un manteau d'hiver sur eux pendant le repas. Nous sommes arrivés gelées, & nous sommes sortis congelés ! Il me fera plaisir de réviser mon avis avec une explication & compensation de votre part. Autre point à ajouter, Le stationnement est quasi inexistant dans ce secteur Allez-y directement pour le Stationnement payant qui se trouve derrière le théâtre Saint-Denis.

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.

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.
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.
