Après être passés plusieurs fois devant Pamika, nous avons décidé de tenter ce restaurant thaï. & quelle belle surprise ! Nous avons pris le menu « Chef, faites-moi voyager » en 6 services avec dessert à 75 dollars. Alors oui, ce n'est pas forcément un tarif accessible, mais quel voyage ! Chaque plat était meilleur que le précédent, nous avons découvert plein de goûts & de préparations différentes. C'était copieux & tellement bon ! Ça commence avec des petites brochettes de crevette & des brochettes de boeuf. C'est suivi d'une salade de papaye frite & de crevettes. Ensuite, un plat très épicé mais tout aussi excellent de canard. Pour suivre, un curry rouge thaï au boeuf, avec une sauce curry coco à tomber par terre. & enfin, en dernier plat, un Set Tum thaï, avec une épaule de porc BBQ exquise ! Nous avons aussi pris des cocktails, il y en a pour tous les goûts & le Manaw Drop est vraiment extra ! Pour conclure, nous avons eu droit à un Mango sticky Rice. Vraiment très bon lui aussi. Le service était exceptionnel, la serveuse nous a guidés avant & tout au long du repas. Il y a possibilité de modifier les plats du menu si on ne supporte pas trop le piment. Je recommande Pamika pour partir en voyage le temps d'un repas.
Chouette resto (la terrasse derrière est vraiment belle!). Très bonne bouffe (faut essayer le curry vert au poulet & le panaeng au boeuf braisé). Le margari-thaï en apéro (avec note de coriandre & cardamome) se boit tout seul. Merci à la sympathique Émilie pour son service courtois & ses gentilles attentions.
Recommended from friends so it was a must try; we came with expectations & the crew here Brought it. The Maître d' took care of us personally & he was awesome. Hubby; curry w/Chicken & sticky rice was better than reg rice Me - Braised Beef Panaeng - 16 hour slow cooked beef... need we say more... so soft it melted in your mouth. Would have also been even better with sticky rice. Shared a Bangkok delight, this would have been amazing on a hot day, parched & in need of all the sugar. A little thick for the moment for us. A bit much for a spring day. It was delish but just not what we needed at the moment. Will def return & a must for us in Montreal 🫡 my respects Pamika! Need reservations, best to reserve in advance a day or so. The vibe was awesome & super chill. Also be aware there are NO changes to the menu so I would review in advance to make sure you can eat what is offered. I forgot to take a pic of the food... just know we killed it & NOTHING was left.
Not to brag but I been to Thailand & this place is just as good if not better than any Thai resto I been there. Insane pnnnnnang n insane green curry. Ps food so good forgot to take before pics
Très bon resto Thai sur le plateau. L'ambiance est cosy & la bouffe fantastique. Le curry vert & le boeuf panang sont particulièrement savoureux. Cadre idéal pour une soirée en amoureux. Les prix sont un peu élevés mais la qualité se paye!

It was a delightful experience. The restaurant owner & staff threat guests like family. The curry beef was to die for. Bbq pork basket was attacked by my family, but I heard it was amazing. We finished the night by taking shots with the owner😁I'll definitely go back
Me & my partner had the pleasure to be served by the director of the restaurant. We ordered 1 drink each & the tasting menu(called something else). The starting bites were delicious, the duck entree was a miss for the both of us, barely rescued by us asking for the dipping sauce of the first course. The red curry beef was incredibly good with a rich & creamy sauce, spiced just right Then there was a shrimp with fried & crispy strings of some starch that were absolutely lovely. To continue, we had grilled beef cooked in a lovely marinade with a papaya salad & sticky rice. Finally the dessert was rather plain macarons with a pretty image. I had a pint of beer, & my partner who had 2.5 ounces of wine paid 1 dollar less than me. It felt too little. Overall we enjoyed our experience; the service was stellar although the food came a little too fast, the atmosphere was welcoming & beautiful. It's a little expensive for what it is, but if you can afford it you'll enjoy it
It's not my favorite Thai cuisine. Dined in with my family suggested by my son for his birthday treat, but I'm a little frustrated with their options. In green curry, the coconut milk' s intense is too much.
We were 2 at the bar! Comfortable seats! Well greeted! We ordered the rolls, beef salad, green curry & massaman curry. All delicious!! Brought us back to Thailand! The cocktails were delicious Aswell! The barman who served us, gave us an 10/10 service. It was refreshing that they're people in the industry who can still deliver a great service! 180$: 4 cocktails, 1 entrée, 1 salade, 2 currys & we were full! Very content & will return!

I celebrated my 29th birthday at Pamika on St-Laurent, & I couldn't be happier. I had made a reservation for 15 people, & the staff made sure to tend to our needs. My family & friends were there, which included age 25 to 65, & everyone felt happy & respected. Our waiter, Sam, was beyond expectations : patient, proactive, informative, sociable, & discreet. The food was absolutely delicious. I've been to Thailand myself, & the meals were the closest I've had in Montreal. I strongly recommend the beef salad & the phanaeng curry. There was a wide variety of cocktails, exotic & for all tastes. The atmosphere was beautiful with authentic decorations. Overall, I had a warm welcome for my birthday & I would go back anytime for special evenings with friends.
Excellent restaurant thaï à Montréal . J'ai pris le menu dégustation représentatif du centre du pays avec mon conjoint & les plats étaient délicieux . l'ensemble était bien balancé avec quelques plats plus épicés (salade de canard) & d'autres plus doux (curry panang au boeuf). Je le recommande fortement !
Sadly, not at all like the old location. The food is really nothing special. The decor is stunning & the service is ok but if you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine, unfortunately the new Pamika is not your place. The fried calamari entree is overpriced & has nothing Thai about it, the pad Thai tastes very close to what you get at Thai express & although the panaeng curry was the best thing we ordered, it really lacked flavour & depth. So disappointing because the old location was amazing.
The interior & ambience was beautiful. The servers were fantastic. However, I found there was not much of a selection & although the dishes were tasty, it was just a little above average. I've had much, much better for less of a price. I had the salad with the duck, thinking that I would get a nice mix of greens. It was only a small portion romaine with tiny bits of duck as if someone put the meat through a meat grinder. For the price, I found this pretty cheap & stingy. The curry dish was the same story... very stingy portion for the price.

Beautiful atmosphere but that was the only best part. Food tasted good, but the portions of curry were small for the price they charge. Service was ok, waitress came around twice once to fill the water & second to tell us if we wanted dessert even though we ordered it along with one more dish that still didn’t come.
2 out of the 3 dishes were very good. Portion & taste was spot on. But the Thai green curry with chicken, which we were told is enough for two people, wasn’t even enough for one person. For $33, you’d expect but more flavor & also atleast enough amount for 1 person.
Belle ambiance pour une soirée sympa entre couples ou amis. Le serveur était attentionné & à l’écoute de nos demandes, il est venu nous voir à quelques reprises pour s’assurer que tout était ok. Les entrées de salade de papaye & les calmars frits étaient bons & sont arrivées rapidement, peu après avoir placé la commande. En revanche, c’était près de 40 mins d’attente entre l’entrée & les plats principaux : quand même assez long. Nous avions commandé le curry vert, le tom yum, le pad thaï au poulet & le pad kra pao avec bœuf. La majorité des plats sont très sucrés pour certains membres de notre famille (en particulier pour les diabétiques). Néanmoins, nos favoris de la soirée (consensus de tous) étaient le pad kra pao avec bœuf & le curry vert. Donc, si vous y allez, prenez ces deux plats très savoureux & épicés. Le prix des plats n’est pas donné $$$ & les portions sont petites (rapport portion-qualité-prix = moyen). Notre s'élevait à 164$ avant tips (pour 5 personnes). Est-ce que je reviendrai ? Peut-être.
Excellent food! Get the Thai green curry for sure. Great atmosphere. Staff was super friendly & attentive as soon we walked in. Excellent flavours. (Did not order any fancy cocktails but our seating at the bar allowed us to see the care & attention to detail the bartender put into his creations. )Would definitely return here next trip to Montreal
The scallops were small & the curry contained nothing but a few pieces of pineapple floating around. The fried chicken was really tough & tasteless & the vegetables were cold. Overall a very very disappointing meal. We expected much better after reading the review in La Presse. We will not return.
The waiter was fine but discouraged us from ordering our original choice. That in itself should have been an omen. Why have anything on the menu that your own staff steers you away from.
