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.
The food was very good. The yellow curry stir fry was very similar to yellow curry just with less broth & more veggies/protein. The pad Thai & Thai iced tea were also very good!
This is a great spot to eat & enjoy a fun time socializing with friends. The restaurant is small, cozy, & beautifully decorated. The food is definitely worth making a detour for.
While we were seated, we saw many people coming in to order takeout-it's clearly a favorite among locals. The menu was thoughtfully designed, & the presentation of the dishes matched the quality of the taste.
If you decide to drop by, try the pineapple fried rice-it was a favorite in our group! Also, don't miss the mango sticky rice. & be sure to explore the rest of the menu-they have some excellent noodle options as well.
Lastly, I want to highlight the service. It's easy to forget that the person serving us plays a big role in the overall dining experience. A special shoutout to JOOI, who served our table-you were amazing!
I can confidently say this was one of the best Thai meals I've ever had! Absolutely authentic, incredibly flavorful, & made with so much care. Every dish we ordered was a hit, & the service was just as impressive!
We started with the Bang Bang Shrimp Tornado, Thai Hot Wings, & crispy calamari, all cooked to perfection. The shrimp had the perfect crunch with that addictive sweet-spicy glaze, the wings were full of bold Thai flavor, & the calamari was tender inside with just the right crispiness.
For our mains, we had the Pad Thai, Fried Rice, & Drunken Noodles, each one was packed with flavor & had that signature balance of sweet, spicy, savory, & tangy that Thai cuisine is known for. The Drunken Noodles in particular were a standout - perfectly chewy noodles, fresh veggies, & a bold sauce with just the right heat.
On top of the amazing food, the service was truly 10/10. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
If you're craving authentic Thai food that's bursting with flavor & served with heart, this is the place. I'm already planning my next visit!
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. 😉
