Review Summary

Pichai offers a creative and bold approach to Thai cuisine, frequently praised for its inventive, flavorful dishes and an impressive selection of natural wines. Many diners find the experience to be a culinary highlight, particularly noting the scallops, grilled pork, and signature Thai tea tiramisu as standout items. While the atmosphere is generally described as vibrant, cool, and cozy, the environment can be noisy and dim, with some guests finding the seating uncomfortable or the service inconsistent depending on the evening. Opinions on the pricing and portion sizes are divided, as some appreciate the quality of the shared plates, while others feel the value is lacking or the food is overly salty. Despite mixed reports regarding hospitality and pacing, many patrons consider it one of the top dining destinations in Montreal and look forward to returning.

I visited Pichai & had a very disappointing interaction with the staff.
I simply asked whether takeout was available. The server immediately took the menu away & responded with a blunt'no,' without any explanation or courtesy. I fully understand that some restaurants don't offer takeout. However, the dismissive tone & body language were unnecessarily rude.
Hospitality should not disappear just because a customer asks a question.

Great food 2 out of 3 plates were excellent, great vibe, ok service
Terrible Cocktails one was sad the other was just not drinkable.
Sticky rice was hard & cold felt like it was from the day before.

The vibe was really enjoyable here. The music was at a good level, there were so many people making the place lively but just enough that you don't have to wait too long before getting a seat. The service was nice & friendly but sometimes it would take quite a long time before you manage to catch the attention of a waiter. The food itself was enjoyable. We have mixed feelings because we really really enjoyed the flavours of the tapioca dumplings but on the other hand, the papaya salad was not our cup of tea. The dumplings were bursting with good flavours & the lettuce had a nice texture variation from the soft & chewy tapioca. The meat paired well with the vegetable & the flavours were in harmony. On the other hand, we have the papaya salad that had raw green beans that did not taste good & the overall flavour profile was just sour, & in the occasional bites, there would be a very spicy note. It was really not enjoyable to us. But the overall we had a pretty fun time dining here!

Excellent resto thaï ! Il faut aimer les plats épicés. Nous avons partagé, le tartare de boeuf thaï (photo), la salade de champignons, la salade de papaye verte (très spicy), l'espadon grillé, le poulet sauté & le porc grillé. Tout était savoureux. 6 plats pour trois personnes étaient plus que suffisant. Il y avait deux cocktails disponibles & plusieurs options de vins

Première fois pour nous chez Pichaï & ce sera la dernière. Notre serveur était vraiment désagréable & a gâché notre moment. Il était tres arrogant, moqueur, & n'était pas capable d'expliquer correctement les plats (quand je lui ai demandé la différence entre tel plat & tel plat il m'a juste répété exactement ce qui était écrit sur le menu). A la fin quand je lui ai fait la remarque sur les plats que j'avais trouvé vraiment épicé, il m'a répondu avec un air arrogant & moqueur'c'est thaïlandais'…
(tiens donc je pensais que c'était portugais!)
bref il était vraiment très désagréable & nous étions contents de partir rapidement!
Quant aux plats, ils étaient bons mais loin d'être exceptionnels, les prix sont trop élevés & les portions vraiment petites. Nous sommes pourtant habitués à Pumpui & ses portions vraiment généreuses donc on pensait que ce serait la même chose mais pas du tout.

Went to Pichai for dinner with a friend, & had a bunch of dishes to share that were all delicious! Loved the Som Tum Thai papaya salad & the Phai Mamuang Tod (pictured here) was flavourful, not too sweet & a delicious way to end the meal! Would recommend ordering a couple things to share ✨
