Reviewers consistently praise Mama Bangkok for a Pad Thai many call the best in the city, and the Tom Yum is often noted as good, with portions described as large enough to share. The value is repeatedly highlighted as excellent for money. A self service system is mentioned as finicky at first but becomes easy to navigate once understood. Counter staff receive mixed feedback, with some reviewers finding them polite and to the point while others describe rough experiences, yet the food is widely celebrated. While a few comments mention flavourless or greasy options, the overall consensus is that the dishes are flavorful and satisfying. The Pad Thai tends to be a go to choice for visitors returning to town, and there is a sense that the overall experience is casual and fast, with signs to help and no need for elaborate dining.
If you want better than average Pad Thai & are a good problem solver (order system takes some getting used to), you don't have to worry about grumpy service. It's not a restaurant folks, you don't have to tip. Just grab, go, & enjoy!
So nice to come back to an updated revival of my Faubourg fave Bangkok. I had the tofu pad Thai, which was done in the same way as I remember. Delicious & nostalgic. Thanks!
When you finally get past all the ordering obstacles, whether it's the antiquated computer system on-site you have to use to order or the reduced menu & lack of product descriptions/photos on Uber Eats, You get to enjoy one of the best Thai plates in Montreal. I used to go to their other location & loved it, but eventually, the chicken quality became uneatable, but they seem to have now reversed course & have high-quality chicken again. They just need to simplify the ordering process.
Food is great, the cashier/cook is RUDE, very very rude, I didn't know how the system worked & she yelled at me "u can't do what ever u want here" just because I ordered from the computer that was for cash only & meant to pay by card (I didn't know it was one computer for each transaction) & when I told her I didn't know cuz it was my first time there, she's screamed at me "you wanna keep talking? I give u money back, I don't give u pad Thai" It was kind of funny to see that much sass, but yeah no, the lady is very rude, be aware
Went there with a couple of colleagues today I had a shrimp pad Tai. Number 54 . The sauce was a little too sweet for me personally, overall it was no that great. the cook.was a little rude, she screwed up an order & had my friend waiting for awhile. Then we we ask her what is going on its been 45 minutes...please no pressure..this is what she answered

I often go there when I don't want to cook & wanna eat something really good for a low price (for how much is served). The food is really good & one meal is actually two meals. Worth it. I don't understand the 3.4 review honestly.
Delicious breaded pork pad thai. Portion is twice as big & way better flavoured compared to thai franchise place. Freshness of ingredients stands out in the dish & the al dente on the rice noodles was right on spot. Already said it was delicious. They have a home made "very hot pepper sauce" which I enjoyed. Yes, there is a self ordering touchscreen that you need to scroll on the screen & could be more intuitive or change in design to void scrolling by finger on a thin scroll bar to the edge of the touch screen. Did I mention the price ? Very affordable for the quality & flavors I had, 14.99$ the pork pad thai. The Fauburg atmosphere is not the nicest, not their fault.
This is a hidden gem with an underground feel to it. Authentic food with reasonable prices. The chicken pad Thai with udon noodles & egg is absolutely amazing.
Delicious pad thai! Out of curiousity I tried the Pad Thai with Fried Calemari. It came with a big portion of perfectly fried Calemari. T'was crispy! Pas thai was 10/10. The spicy sauce is available at your own preference so you can eat it non spicy or spicy af.
Caisses automatique réduit les coûts d'opération mais son interface est difficile à opérer, & on a de la difficulté à s'y retrouver. Nourriture excellente & sans reproches (délicieux, généreux, & pas trop cher)!
I don't like to order pad thai in North America & usually opt for more authentic thai dishes (pad thai has a very interesting political history btw). That said, this place has the best pad thai I've had in Canada! The machine's wonky. You have to click on a super specific spot on the scroll if you want to see the bottom of the list. All adds to the charm if you ask me. If a place makes me nostalgic about Asia it's doing everything right.
