Je donnerais une étoile Michelin à ce restaurant. Une expérience incroyable dans son ensemble. Un menu typique Thaïlandais, des saveurs me rappelant mon voyage en Thaïlande, un service méticuleux, un petit drink de bienvenue impressionnant, un choix de plats tous plus intéressants les uns que les autres, un choix de cocktails savoureux, un décor magnifique, une ambiance feutrée, & tout ça à prix très raisonnable. Nous avons pris la salade de papaye, les brochettes de Wagyu & le Panaeng au boeuf. Les 3 étaient délicieux. C'est définitivement un incontournable!
Food is incredibly mid & very overpriced. However, the staff are very friendly & accommodating, & the drinks are pretty good. Also I would not recommend eating here if you are vegetarian, they served my friend meat after she ordered her dish with no meat.

We ordered the Bangkok rolls, Crispy shrimp Pad Kra Pao, & Khao Padmanpu with drinks. Kudos to the chef on the well balanced flavors of authentic Thai food. The Pad Kra Pao was spicier than I've had at different Thai restaurants but so many things about this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The terasse was a stunningly beautiful oasis. We were visiting Montreal so I feel so lucky to had tried such delicious Thai food. This place is worthy of all the high praise.
Painfully slow & inattentive service. Took 25 mins to get served. Didn't refill water or drinks. Okay food. Pork belly was so dry, they shouldn't have served it. dessert pudding was great. Overall ambience is good.
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
The atmosphere was pleasant & the service was good. The drink was awesome. However, the meal was not special. The food was a bit different than I knew. So, if you are looking for authentic Thai food, I do not think this is the place you are looking for.
We showed up without making a reservation & they managed to accommodate us even though they were busy & we ended up receiving the best service we'd ever experienced. Great food, strong drinks, nice ambience; will definitely go back the next time I'm in town.

This restaurant is a true gem. The interior design exudes a cozy atmosphere, & on both of my visits, the waitstaff proved to be not only exceptionally friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu. The originality in dish presentation adds an extra layer of delight, & the drink selection is nothing short of fantastic. Looking forward to my next visit!
Ther sevice was wayyyÿyy better than the food & drinks, like it was limit cringy.
First the drinks: on 5 diffirent orders, only 1 drink was pretty good (spicy margarita). The bourbon one was funky, but the 3 others were very disappointing. The pineapple one tasted water down, very sad for 22$
Then, the appetizers. The chicken satay were so small for the price, I can only recommend to skip them: very sad piece of dry meat. & 5 small pieces for 17$...
The papaya salad was ok.
Then the mains. Tasted like normal padthai & pad sew from any fastfoof thai joint. Nothing more.
We decided to cut short our meal due to disappointment.
The food was amazing!!! The bartender was so invested in making all the drinks. My husband & I were so mesmerized by his cocktail making skills. Definitely recommend!!!

I would have rated it 5 for the food, drinks, & ambience. However, the service was very poor. They took about 1.5 hours to serve our appetizers & meal. Our server was forgetful & kept missing our order until reminded multiple times.
It is value for money in terms of the food quality you get but we were very disappointed with the slow service.
This place really does deserve 5 stars because of the food... however the service was so absolutely horrid, that it had be dropped. From upon entering the restaurant, to the end of the meal, this establishment really needs to learn how to treat customers. When entering this place, what it appeared to be the manager pointed to the table we were to sit at (yup, didn't even sit us) & then waiting a solid 8 minutes till someone came over to take even just our drink order. I had to wave that same "manager" over to take our order. No one came to check on us through the meal...would recommend this place still as the food was superb. & maybe that's all that matters to the owners of this place.
Très bon! Vrai goût de la Thaïlande! Les drinks sont délicieux & j'apprécie vraiment que vous utilisiez des alcools de qualité. Le personnel est très gentil & serviable! Nous avons pris le curry vert, c'était un délice.
Amazing service & really tasty food ! The terrassa was quite spaced out so it felt very confortable & safe eating out! Will definitely come back & the drinks are delicious.
