Mai Thai Cuisine delivers authentic Thai flavors in a warm, inviting setting with generous portions and friendly, attentive service; reviews praise dishes like pad thai, tom yum, curries, papaya salad, seafood, and mango sticky rice, all noted for fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. The open kitchen and Thai hospitality contribute to a cozy vibe that feels welcoming for casual lunches or special dinners, and spice levels can be tailored to taste. A few opinions mention high prices for the portion size, occasional inconsistency in seasoning, or takeout packaging issues, but overall the place is considered a standout for Thai food in Montreal with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere and memorable dishes.
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.
The owners are super sweet & so kind. Got to meet them today. You will actually get to see Thai hospitality - one of the best in the world here in Montréal.
The food was amazing! Really authentic Thai food. The service was very friendly & fast.
One of the best Thai restaurant I have ever been outside of Thailand - or even the best one.
For sure I will come again!
We had a wonderful experience dining at Mai Thai. We were a group of 7 people, celebrating my uncles 90th birthday. We ordered the papaya salad, & calamari, they were incredible. The house sauces were humming with the right balance of sweet, sour & spicy.
For the mains, we ordered pad thai with shrimp, two from their signature collection, the crispy pork with Thai basil & green curry with chicken. Everything was outstanding & delish. The food is cooked in an open kitchen & our server Goui, ( I hope I got your name right! ) was such sweet & lovely person.
Nothing was overly spicy, we loved all the dishes, the portions were generous & the flavours very authentic.
The mango sticky rice, was just the right note to finish the night.
A fantastic combination of authenticity, flavour, great food & cozy ambience.
Can't wait to be back soon.
