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.
*Update, Finally went back & food was fantastic & without mistakes. Reminded me of reasons I think Pick Thai is one of the best Thai spots in the city Bad experience, Very dissappointed, Food is usually good, but making me come back to the restaurant & wait 20 minutes to remake an order that their kitchen messed up, only to go home & see that the chef made same mistake again & FINALLY needing to be refunded. Won't be rushing back
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.

Best Thai food in the city. You'll find dishes here that are difficult to find at other Thai restaurants. Food is flavourful & of high quality. I highly recommend the salmon dish & going with the table d'hote. A bit on the pricier side but well worth it. The service & atmosphere are excellent!

I had an amazing time with the family at this authentic Thai restaurant. I would definitely recommend it for anyone in the area. Staff is absolutely amazing. I was served by Davy, & she was running the place mostly alone in the front & it was 10/10.
The most delicious Thai food in Montreal! Everything we ordered was wonderful - a rich array of flavors & spices. Service was impeccable - gracious kind & professional staff. Atmosphere is elegant & relaxed. A must when you visit Montreal
Pas vraiment de cuisine thaïlandaise, pas de saveurs riches, tous les plats sont juste sucrés. La cuisine thaïlandaise est riche en aigre-doux en raison des légumes riches & frais. C'est clairement une déception, peut-être payer pour les rénovations, mais les allées sont bondées & le service est insatisfaisant, ne reviendra pas.
La nourriture était excellente. J'ai commandé un plat typique thailandais, le pad thai. C'etait vraiment tres savoureux. Mon amie a commande une salade au boeuf qu'elle a beaucoup apprécié également. Les serveurs étaient vraiment très amicales. Le seul point negatif c'est que nous somme arrivées vers 19h30 & nous sommes parties a 22h car nous attendions que le serveur viennent nous apportez la facture & celui ci ne semblaient pas vouloir que l'on parte.

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.
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.
Best gluten-free Thai meals I've ever had. Very sympathetic owner goes out of her way to accommodate my GF needs. Cosy ambiance, beautifully decorated, fresh food, great service, a must go-to-place for GF intolerant people. Have gone several times & need no excuse to return. I highly recommend Pick Thaï.
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.
A great surprise. From outside you never guess this restaurant has such nice decor, the ambiance is casual & elegant, good taste everywhere you look.
The wine list is fare, the menu attractive, the prices just. We went to Thailand a couple of years ago & tasting the food in the well proportioned dishes brought us back to the authentic flavors & atmosphere of that beautiful country.
The thing I would improve is the service. There should be at least one waiter in the area. It looked as if there was only the owner & a young man for all the tables.
You have to try it!
