What a great experience! Went to pamika for dinner with a group of friends & we really enjoyed our evening. We started with drinks, I ordered the'meditation' which came presented on a little stand with a dramatic effect & tasted very fresh & fruity.
For appetizers we ordered the papaya salad which was delicious & the sugar cane shrimp which has a very special sweet & savory taste. I highly recommend these two dishes!
We also had the pad thai which we loved!
The service in this restaurant is excellent, the waiters are very attentive & take the time to explain each dish when presented on the table.
I highly recommend this place!
One of my favourite Thai restaurants. This was my first time sitting at the bar being served by Egan. Best experience ever. Cocktails were delicious. Food was amazing as always.
A few weeks ago, my girl & I went out to eat at Pamika Thai. Wow, what a fantastic decision! As hospitality workers ourselves, we understand what it takes to provide good service, & the staff at Pamika Thai went above & beyond our expectations. Guillaume (the host) was incredibly polite. They welcomed us, showed us to our table, & carefully noted my requests during the reservation. Later in the evening, they returned to check in & ensure we were enjoying our experience. Egan (the mixologist) is exceptionally talented at their craft. I started with a Mai Tai & ended with a Daiquiri-both were absolutely sensational! When my partner couldn't decide on a drink, Egan crafted something special from scratch to suit her palate, & she couldn't have been happier. Valerie (the expo/server) was not only friendly but also extremely professional. Despite it being a busy Friday night, they took the time to describe each dish & explain how to enjoy it to fully appreciate the flavors. To top it all off, they went out of their way to entertain me by demonstrating how they fold their napkins, which I found fascinating. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience-we will definitely be back!

It's an amazing Thai restaurant! Very authentic & delightful. I also have a lot of nut allergies & they were extremely understanding & cautious. I 100% recommend.
Food was just okay. Ordered crispy shrimp, Tom yum soup, Tom yum pad Thai, green curry. Shrimp was a cool idea, but felt like the egg noodle was more a gimmick cuz it didn't add much. Sauces weren't thick or rich enough in the pad Thai & curry. Lobster in the pad thai seemed pre-cooked frozen, definitely not fresh. Overall food tasted pretty muted. Place is beautiful though & service was great. Didn't see any East Asian servers, they were all in the kitchen, classic discrimination.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant in Montreal & it didn't quite meet expectations. The meal started strong with the fried shrimp & chicken skewers which were both delicious. For entrees I had the chicken pad see ew which was quite disappointing since they used normal rice noodle as opposed to wide thai noodle, some of the vegetables were undercooked, & they used a lot of soya sauce. I also had the braised beef panaeng...the curry sauce was delicious but the brisket was very dry & overcooked. Don't think I will return to the restaurant next time, considering there are many other authentic thai restaurants for half the price. But, if you're looking for a quick dinner/drink with great service & atmosphere then this would be a safe place to go.
First time visit - Food was great & the restaurant was gorgeous. Possibly one of the best pad thais I had. Glenn made the experience so much better & he was such a great host/server. One of the best services we had :)
If you're ever looking for a great Thai restaurant with diverse meals, this place is for you! The MTL à la table menu was good but it is definitely more worth your money to get their regular à la carte menu. The only caveat was that the service wasn't great perhaps they were understaffed that day? Otherwise truly 10/10.
One of my favorite restaurent in Montréal! The best things are the salmon tartare & the beef paneng with sticky rice. You can't go wrong with those two! I usually not eat spicy 🌶️ but it is so amazingly good I can't stop myself. If you're real hungry I also recommend the pad thai. The satay wagyu is not recommended. It was very small & forgettable. For the same price you have the salmon tartare which is exceptional. We wanted beer but it was not available that evening. We ordered margaritas thai I think & it was really good! A must if you are in town you won't regret it

The service is good, the restaurant is nicely decorated but the food is very mid. We ordered the tasting menu at $75 (got overcharged by a couple of dollars at the end when we checked our receipt but I digress) & were disappointed with the selection. The minced duck with cabbage leaf was underwhelming, as were the fried shrimp & fried pork on sugar canes. The grilled pork slices with sticky rice & papaya salad were bland & nothing extraordinary. The braised paneang beef & fried shrimp & fried papaya salad were enjoyable. I probably should have chosen à la carte instead of tasting menu but if this is what they are offering clients to explore & discover Thai cuisine, it is disappointing. Furthermore, we had leftovers that we got packaged up. We saw the waitress leave it on the waiters counter & walk away, only for another waiter to pile other dirty plates on top of our remaining food. The waitress came back, saw what happened & we witnessed a little back & forth exchange before they took off the top plates & willingly decided to place our now contaminated food in takeaway containers anyway. We were too appalled to say anything so we paid & left.
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!
