la nourriture était excellente, les aliments frais & croquants, la cuisson du boeuf était parfaite,service rapide & très agréable. le décors vaut le détour.
Pick Thai is what has been missing around the Vendôme station area : a chic, yet affordable Thai restaurant where you can have a variety of exotic meals. The decor is well balanced. Windows surround both dining rooms, allowing light to irradiate the interiors all day. The daylight brightness is balanced with the dark-colored furniture, making your supper/lunch at Pick Thai a pleasant experience, both for your mouth & eyes.
I had been meaning to try Pick Thai & with family visiting for vacation, it was the perfect opportunity. Everyone loved the meal. The food is incredibly fresh & flavourful. The restaurant's decor is amazing, also, & the service was personal & pleasant. I'm so glad to have found this restaurant & will be back often!

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.
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.
