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 flavors are rich & the dishes well explained. I've enjoyed the experience as a tasting of another culture, but the quantities were lacking for me. The staff is nice ,available & knows the menu .
Honestly, one of the biggest rip off in Montreal. Incredibly expensive for sub-par quality at best. I went for Montreal à table, & the 80$ fixed menu felt like a scam. The quality of the food was poor, curry was not well done. Tried to upsell us every time they could. Tartares were delicious. Salads were well executed. Service was absolutely awful. Took over 30 minutes to even get acknowledged by the service staff. One of our servers was really nice, I wish I remembered his name, but he's the only reason why I am not giving 1 star to this restaurant. I do not recommend.

Came here for Mtl a la table 4 course fixed menu. Underwhelming. Came with high expectations based on popularity & price, left disappointed. Food lacked innovation, unbalanced flavors, quite mediocre but somehow still pretentious. Nowhere near the quality/experience expected for an 80 CAD menu. If given a choice, I recommend cooking at home :)
Super bon ! Nous avons tous trouvé notre bonheur dans leur choix d'entrées & de plats. Vraiment très bon ! & le service impeccable. Nous recommandons grandement !

I had a fantastic time here! I would have loved to sample more things off the menu but I came alone, so I just stuck with the green curry (which was great with the sticky rice). The staff were attentive & I had a great time sitting st the bar!

We came here on a busy weekend night & the vibes were immaculate. Great location & very clean restaurant & kitchen, we enjoyed our time here so much. We sat at the bar & Egan made our time unforgettable because he provided some of the best service we have ever received. After only a week of working there, he made everything look so easy. He was so busy sitting tables, taking orders, & carefully taking time to talk to us while explaining the menu & what makes all the dishes so magical there, all while effortlessly crafting drinks for the entire restaurant. Pictured are the Massaman curry & crab fried rice, both of which are delicious, but not pictured is the Taro pudding we had the honor of enjoying. Easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. Thank you again Egan for making our time in Montreal so unforgettable!
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.
