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.
Great place! The chicken satay was insanely good, with huge portions & an incredible sauce. The pad thai & pad see ew were huge portions & absolutely delicious.
Our server was very nice, but we did have a decent wait for our food. Several couples who came in after us were served their main meals before we got our appetizer.
Still, the wait was worth it. Absolutely delicious!
I tried the Seafood Pad Kra Chai & found it a bit different from what I expected. On the menu, the dish looked colorful with visible shrimp, but the version I received was much darker in color, almost all brown, & seemed to have been soaked in soy sauce. The seafood itself was quite salty, which overpowered the other flavors.
I think with a lighter touch on the seasoning & presentation closer to the menu, this dish could be much more enjoyable.
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 😋

We were 3 & tasted each other's meals with awe & excitement so muche the plates are delicious. Service is very courteous & professional. Prices are fare, 90$ including tip for 3. The most expensive one is under 30$. Not a lot of space which makes the ambiance quite pleasing. Definitely a staple on St-Denis.
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.
Had a great wonderful family meal here. Food was terrific & tasty. Would definitely go here again. Small on the inside so making a reservation would be ideal. Portion size is great!
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.
