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.
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.
Hosts were very accomodating for our party of 5 even though they had reservations & got us in & out in 30 minutes. Most of the dishes we ordered were well liked. Place was busy due to the Jazz festival. Portion size is OK.
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.

After a long & hectic day, Mai Thai Cuisine was just what we needed. Easily one of the best Thai meals we've had in Montreal! We asked for vegan versions of the dishes, & they were so flavorful & satisfying. It's a small, cozy spot, but the service stood out-super friendly, considerate, & genuinely humble. You can feel the care they put into both the food & the experience. Can't wait to come back!
Nth time be here. Became a fanatic for spicy papaya salad 🥗 !
The place is small & chic.
Red curry is very delicious.
Staff are very energetic & welcoming
2nd update: papaya salad gave me a surprise. I didn't know there's green papaya which is much more palatable to me
3rd: spicy pork, try & ask for extra spicy 🌶?
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. 😉
Incroyable ! On retrouve vraiment le goût des plats de la Thaïlande ! Vraiment génial ! On va revenir très très souvent 🤩🤩
Serveuse très gentilles, disponibles & discrètes.
Hygiène salle de bain parfaite 👍
Continuez comme ça
Merci pour cette belle soirée
Authentically delicious Thai food! As a Thai who live in Montreal, having Thai food outside of my home is a specially rare occasion but dinning at Mai Thai has always been satisfying & fulfilling my craving for Thai food. Nong Oh (the chef) & Nong Earn (the server) are very welcoming & awesome! Khorb khun maak maak kha🙏😊
