Under rated to say the least! Amazing taste & authentic place! Owner & staff were so kind, they knew I was in a hurry & wanted to offer me something as a gesture, the owner grabbed a box of organic strawberries & told me that this was for dessert! Such a sweet & thoughtful gesture! Not to mention a restaurant using organic fruit in Today's economy! Ordered two types of curry, a papaya salad, & some Thai fried rice. All tasted fresh & tasty. Ingredients quality was very high & prices were much cheaper than other similar Thai restaurants! Fancy decor & nice vibes. Will definitely return! I wish they offered delivery options too. Deserves way more stars! Thanks again!
This restaurant has a really nice decor, we thought it was very nicely set up. On our first visit we ordered a mango salad (Yam Mamuang) & two main dishes, the Pad Kin Vege & the Panang Shrimp. The salad & the shrimp were really excellent, the salad was not spicy but the shrimp was somewhat spicy, which I quite enjoyed. I would say that the Pad Kin Vege was not out favorite, we did not realize it had tofu & there was a lot of it, which wasn't the most tasty.
Our second visit was amazing with the panang shrimp, mango salad & peanut butter chicken. It was so good! Definitely will be one of our go to places.

Ate in a delicious Thai restaurant, Appetizer (soup, mango salad, 2 types of egg rolls & a pastry with meat) + thai red curry with rice. Everybody found the food delicious & enjoyed the relaxing music. Dined on Jan 23 Friday night. Nice quiet music. A wonderful discovery & gem
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.
I am delighted to give a 5/5 review for Pick Thai restaurant. I went with a few nursing co-workers for my last day & I really enjoyed the meal. I had the mango salad & Pad Kimao (Beef) & it was delicious!!! Consequently, I had major allergic reaction to something & Kevin the owner went above & beyond to help me after the event to figure out what I reacted to. I would like to thank Kevin soo much for his patience & honesty! :) Turns out I am allergic to mangoes. I am deeply saddened as I LOVE mangoes but at least now I know & I can still enjoy other delicious meals on their menu 💗💗💗
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.
