UPDATE: The food gave me food poisoning. I felt unwell the entire evening following & then threw up. DO NOT EAT HERE

Everything is awkward with mama bankok: the location is awkward, looking through the gigantic menu plastered on the wall is awkward, ordering through their tablet is awkward, the service is awkward, the restrictive limits on how to pay is awkward, & the lack of chopsticks is awkward. Even the seating is awkward.

They bumped their price by a lot (pad thai chicken used to be 12, it costs me 19 total now) & I disagree with all the other comments saying this is the best pad thai or a very authentic one. I found it to be closer in taste to a Thai Express pad thai. Mine in particular was so salty I couldn't have more than a few bites.

By the 1st of january 2026 they are going to switch to cash only. That paired with everything else (especially the price bump), I don't see why you would ever choose this place over the hundred other asian restaurants around.

Amazing food. I order pad Thai with breaded chicken & it's my favourite pad Thai. The self-service system can be finicky but it's not a problem once you know how to use it. I never had an issue with service from the cashier (maybe it's a different person) but they've been nice & to-the-point.

The pad Thai & chicken eggplant are so good

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.

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.
