Overall, reviewers describe Pick Thaï as a standout Thai spot with fresh, delicious dishes and warm, attentive service in a cozy, inviting setting with tasteful decor and even relaxing incense. Praise centers on the freshness and balance of curries, noodles, and classics like pad thai, mango salad, imperial rolls, satay, and desserts such as fried banana, with cocktails considered creative and complementary. The staff are frequently commended for kindness and accommodating dietary needs, including fish allergies, and the owner or chef is noted for taking care with guests. Many mentions of returning or planning another visit, highlighting consistent quality and a strong first impression. Some comments note occasional changes in flavor versus past visits, and a few say dishes can be pricey, the venue can feel crowded or noisy, and service can be uneven when crowded, with occasional wait times or table layout issues and parking a challenge. Still, the overall tone is highly positive, positioning Pick Thaï as one of Montreal's notable Thai experiences, offering authentic flavors, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a special night out.
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!

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.
Came here for the first time on Valentine's Day & the owner/chef kyrin was super attentive & ensured we had a special time. We went pretty late in the evening, closer to close & we did not feel rushed at all & we were taken care of nicely. The owner gave us a dessert to share at the end which made the night extra special. Thanks so much again.
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!
Entrées : La soupe thaïe & la salade de mangue étaient divines, les entrées frites (crevettes frites rouleaux impériaux, pochettes d'or & poulet frit) plus classiques étaient très bonnes sauf le poulet que j'ai trouvé un peu trop sec.
Currys thaïlandais : Les deux currys que nous avons pris, ma conjointe & moi, étaient tout simplement savoureux, cuits à la perfection, bien présentés & raisonnablement épicés.
Dessert & café : La banane frite servie avec glace au citron & coulis de mangue (je crois) étaient déliceuses. Bon café.
Service : Le service est efficace, rapide, courtois, réservé & se fait en français & en anglais.
Décor & ambiance : Un soin particulier a été apporté au décor & ça parait. C'est vraiment joli. L'ambiance y est chaleureuse & feutrée.
My wife & I went out for dinner & walked into Pick Thai. We were greeted by the owner with a warm smile & a friendly hello. She sat us at a table & we were struck by the authentic Thai ambience. We had ample time to choose our dinner from a full, but not excessive, menu. My wife had the salmon & I had the tofu with mixed vegetables. Her plate came with two large salmon filets which were perfectly prepared. My dish came exactly as I had envisioned & was very tasty. The presentation was lovely for both dinners. We did not order dessert because we were full from the main course. We had a very quiet intimate dinner & we feel very comfortable in highly recommending Pick Thai to any one who wants a quality dining experience.

L'ambiance & l'accueil sont chaleureux; on franchit la porte comme des invités attendus & on s'assoit dans une ambiance sereine & détendue. Nous étions quatre, trois seniors & un jeune adulte. Le menu à la carte (il existe aussi un menu express) contient des plats pour tous les goûts : viandes, poissons, légumes, nouilles, soupes, rouleaux, (voir le menu en format pdf sur le site du resto). L'hôtesse attentionnée nous a conseillés. Elle nous a composé une table de découverte, pour satisfaire curiosités & goûts culinaires de chacun. La cuisine est finement préparée, aux saveurs délicates de l'Asie. Les viandes se mangent en bouchées taillées minces, arrosées avec juste ce qu'il faut de sauce pour qu'elles se fondent en bouche. Les plats de légumes, légèrement sautés, sont copieux & garnis de beaux légumes frais & variés. Au dessert, des bouchées de bananes frites, de belle dorure & légèrement sucrées, ont réjoui toute la compagnie! Une carte des vins propose des bouteilles qui respectent les saveurs dominantes. Une fine cuisine à prix abordables.
