I went yesterday with my girlfriend, & the service was incredible! From the moment we arrived until the very end, the staff was attentive & friendly. Always there if we needed anything.
We started with two appetizers: the imperial rolls (9/10) & the satay kai (8/10). Both were fresh & full of flavor. We also had the Yam Mamuang salad, easily a 9.5/10. The flavors just hit you in the best way!
For the main course, we shared two dishes, including the Koong Poa 9.5/10, & Red Panaeng Curry 10/10 which was exquisite. & for dessert… hands down the best fried banana 10/10 I've had in Montreal! We finished with the Kao Niew Mamuang 9/10 (mango with coconut sticky rice), & it was simply delicious.
Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back!
I was first impressed by the beautiful decor with Thai cultural artifacts when stepped inside. Then everything went downhill from there. The waitstaff were helpful but clearly novices in table service. My beer was served with a glass but not poured. My appetizer arrived long before my wife's, & then I had to wait a significant time for my main dish after she received hers. The food was decent but overpriced for its quality & lacked the authenticity of true Thai cuisine. The most annoying part was the cramped tables that obstructed aisle, customers & waitstaff repeatedly had to ask me to scoot in.
Took the table d'hote. The appetizer plate was amazing. The pad thai was too sweet for my liking. Was disappointed that no dessert comes with the table d'hote just tea at the end. Restaurant's decoration is very nice.
The best food & very attentive service by the staff. Even got to meet Kevin the chef! Try the fried roll as an appetizer & if you like shrimp take number 31!! If you are in a hurry you can also take your order to go.
Pick Thai is located in a somewhat obscur office condo building on de Maisonneuve adjacent to the Vendome metro station & across the street from the MUHC hospital...but don't let these digs fool you. Pick Thai has an excellent offering of Thai food that should get more attention than it does. Once you enter the restaurant, it likes a time warp to a completely different locale compared to the outside. Beautiful dark wood accents the entire place complimented by wonderful golden decorations & even some offerings to the buddha. The ambiance completely sets the tone for the meal. The menu is extensive (see all the photos) offering all those classic Thai dishes you know & love. For our dinner I selected the Table'D'hote offering which is of exceptionally value. The meal starts with a Tom Yam soup along with a selection of their most popular appetizers (mango salad, golden pouch, golden triangle & Niem Thod), then a choice of your main [I chose the Oak Kai Yang grilled chicken (which was excellent)] & ending with a coffee or tea. In addition, we had the Shrimp Pad Thai noodle dish (also excellent) & ended with a Banana Fritter dessert (that dish can never fail). Overall service was very good with friendly & helpful staff. In the mood for Thai, then you can't go wrong if you pick Pick Thai. Enjoy!
Authentic Thai food. The taste is very rich. Cozy & great ambiance. I come here so often that I already tested all their lunch menu & all were good! I always chose mango salad as appetizers & they're the best! The staffs are friendly. A bit pricey but worth the experience! Our serveuse, Sarah, was excellent:friendly & helpful.
The minute you walk into the restaurant you feel serene & are greeted by a graceful & smiling staff. Perfect ambiance to celebrate my daughter's 38th birthday. After intimate conversation over a bottle of great wine we were joined by others & the burst of flavor began with appetizers that delighted the senses & no words could describe the delicious dishes that followed. The evening was pure magic & I recommend Pick Thai to all those with exquisite taste. Thanks for making her birthday a wonderful memory.
Thai inspired ambiance, relaxed atmosphere, with very attentive service. Standard Thai cuisine is complemented by unusual & delicious offerings. Appetizers were outstanding. We will definitely go back.
We had the most delicious meal at Pick Thai. What a treat to have a brand new, gorgeous Thai restaurant in the Decarie/Vendome area.
You'll have to watch out because the location may not be where you expect it - you have to walk up a short set of stairs in what looks a bit like a condo. But once you get inside, you will notice that the decor is beautiful - rich, dark wood paneling, floor to ceiling mirrors, & impressive accents from around the world.
The food was a hit as well. Everything was so fresh, hot, & delicious, with the perfect mix of sweet, sour & a touch of spice.
We had a fantastic appetizer of Nuea Thod Katiem (Bite sized beef chunks mixed with garlic & Thai herbs & deep fried)on salad - which was crispy & delicious. & not just any beef was used - they used Filet mignon. Next we shared Yam Mamuang - mango salad with lime, & peppers. Again - a real hit.
For mains, we shared the classic Pad Thai with chicken, which really was the perfect mix of sweet & sour topped with fresh, crunchy bean sprouts, & Green Curry with shrimp which had the delicious sweetness of coconut milk punctuated with a hit of spice. I think there might have been a touch of melon in there which was very creative.
As I said, everything was piping hot & so fresh. When you are used to "fast food" Thai, there is nothing that beats made-to-order, authentic homemade Thai.
& the couple who run the place are the sweetest.
We will definitely be back!
