Authentic reliable Thai cuisine, keeping the quality high ever since 2008 when they started on Laurier Street in Outremint. Worth the trip from Montreal. The Tom Yam Kung shrimp soup ( or Tom Kha Talay - the coconut milk version), Larb Ped duck salad, Pad Thai noodles, eggplant with basil, chicken with eggplant in curry, basil beef - are all favourites. They used to make sticky rice & a mango, rice & coconut dessert - wish they'd bring it back!
Service très lent au début. Nourriture moins bonne que d'habitude. Le pad thaï goûtait trop le vinaigre & la sauce aux arachides n'avait pas la consistance habituelle.
Phayathai has become one of our family's favorite neighborhood restaurant offering the best Thai food. Service is always friendly & food is consistently delicious!
