Les avis décrivent Pichai comme une expérience thaïe audacieuse et vivante à Montréal, avec de nombreux plats décrits comme délicieux, savoureux et créatifs, les coups de cœur incluant les ravioles de tapioca, le collet de porc, les fruits de mer et le tiramisu au thé thaï, tous mis en avant. La carte des vins est fréquemment louée et l'ambiance est animée, parfois bruyante, avec une atmosphère chic et chaleureuse. Plusieurs convives louent le service amical et compétent et l'ambiance générale, tandis que d'autres signalent des moments d'incohérence, notamment un rythme rapide, un service inégal ou un personnel qui paraît distant, ce qui peut ternir l'expérience. Les portions sont décrites comme variables, parfois petites pour le prix, tandis que beaucoup estiment que la qualité et les saveurs audacieuses justifient le coût. Certains verdicts considèrent l'endroit comme l'une des meilleures options thaïes ou d'inspiration asiatique de la ville et expriment une forte intention de revenir, malgré quelques déceptions ponctuelles comme des retards ou des malentendus. Dans l'ensemble, le consensus est positif, la nourriture et l'ambiance étant souvent louées et le vin et les cocktails ajoutant au plaisir.
Best Thai food in Montreal hands down! Every dish is an explosion of flavour. The scallop crudo is so incredibly fresh, it really is a must. Don't forget to try the shaved ice for dessert even if you are full !!!
Very unique Thai food. Not the traditional one. Taste is good but not the one we expected. The service is just average. The restaurant is not child-friendly. They don't have highchair not booster. The worst part of is their POS system: it still calculated the tips using the post-tax amount, even though the law changed over 4 months ago. The waiter is clearly aware of that, but he makes all kind of excuses instead of just admitting it. They seem to be concealing this & hoping most customers won't notice. Overall, it feels very dishonest.

I didn't enjoy most of the food they had to offer. fish balls (decent) , pork belly (overly fatty), arctic char (excellent), & pad krapao clams (mix of raw & overcooked basil with inedible parts such as stems & flowers, very little clams), Thai tea tiramisu (in my opinion they don't pair well together). Overall was not blown away like other diners sadly.
This was one of the most outstanding meals we've had, & we were visiting from DC! The flavors were so complex, fresh, & bold. We loved every single thing we ordered, & while we were full, we still went for the Thai tea tiramisu which was incredible. The staff was so knowledgeable, & especially Parasto made our experience exceptional. Make the reservation, this is a meal you'll remember.
Très bonne bouffe, avec beaucoup de variété, on y découvre des pans de la cuisine thaïlandaise qui sorte de l'ordinaire !
Petit bémol sur la salle du restaurant trop bruyante
Le curry rouge était délicieux & avec un bon rapport prix/quantité !
On aimerait plus d'options végés dans la carte temporaire ;)
SPEECHLESS. Like I don't have the words or the emotional range to handle how good Pichai was. Every single dish was so intentionally crafted it felt like someone sat down & wrote a love letter to flavor, folded it into origami, & served it to me on a plate.
I would literally recommend every single thing we had. Multiple times. To strangers. On the street. At traffic lights. But if I have to pick, the raw scallops, the grilled pork neck, & the Thai tea tiramisu , would win the votes tonight.
I'm already plotting my return. I know I'll dream about Pichai till then.
Très belle découverte d'un resto thaï à l'ambiance décontractée & funky. La cuisine est vraiment au point : chaque plat est plein de saveurs & de finesse.
Pour commencer, le cocktail vert & les pétoncles sont des incontournables. Ensuite, l'idéal est de commander plusieurs plats & de tout partager. C'était difficile de choisir un favori, car tout était excellent.
Le service est aussi impeccable. Le personnel est super sympathique & attentionné, ce qui complète bien l'expérience.
Un vrai coup de coeur & un must à essayer à Montréal. J'y retournerai sans hésiter pour explorer le reste de la carte.

We had an amazing experience here, but it was all for the food. Service could have been so much more attentive. Found the items that didn't have the *spicy note on the menu pretty spicy too, but it was still nice & balanced. The Panang curry with Maitake was lovely & the Thai tea tiramisu instantly became my favourite. Be sure to make a reservation because they can get super busy!
If you're on the hunt for a Thai restaurant that delivers bold flavors, vibrant ambiance, & a menu designed for sharing, look no further. This hidden gem hits every note-balancing authenticity with creativity in a way that makes each dish feel both familiar & refreshingly new.
Service was great-friendly, knowledgeable, & genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. Our server offered excellent pairing suggestions & made sure dishes arrived in a well-paced order that allowed us to savor each one. Scallops & Thai tea tiramisu were highlights! P.s be mindful of some of the dishes if you have a low spice tolerance
Overall the food was good, but a bit pricey. We ordered three dishes & a dessert to share. I also ordered one glass of wine. The bill ended up being 90+ after tax & tip.
I liked the duck heart quite a lot. The pork was a bit salty but okay if you eat it with the sticky rice. It was my first time learning that Thai food can be eaten like BBQ, e.g., wrapping the meat & rice with cabbage. Quite interesting. The fish was good, tasted like it was cooked with Tom Yum Goong Soup. I liked it at the beginning but the whole fish was quite big for two people. In the end, it felt a bit greasy.
The restaurant is quite cute with a small patio outside in the neighborhood. It was a bit rainy & cool the day we went, but it was okay sitting outside with heating on.
Contemporary Thai food fused with Chinese food. Thai tea tiramisu is so good! Service is very tentative. We had a tasting menu at $70 per person. Amount is not enough for 3, but they added a bonus chicken wing at the end. Some dishes are very salty.

I've had Thai food all over the world & nothing comes close to my meal at Pichai. Every single dish was unique, & intentional, telling a story from start to finish. Service was beyond exceptional, wine recommendations were great. Can't wait till the next one.
This was the best meal I've had in literally decades. I would drive the 6+ hours again in a heartbeat to eat here again. Amazing elevated Thai food with local ingredients & the kindest staff you will ever encounter. The duck laab is absolutely inspired. When you think of MTL & food, think Pichai, poutine, smoked meat. In that order, respectfully. ❤?❤?❤?

Awesome foody place full of locals. Very delicious flavours & inventive dishes for Thai lovers; reasonably priced. Easy to make same day reservation. Come early on weekends because service can be a bit slow sometimes.
Fantastique evening at Pichai. What a great meal ! Food is so yummy & nicely spicy, it was a trip to Thailand & back home for a good night sleep with wonderful memory.
Formidable restaurant. Nourriture excellente à chaque fois. Service sympathique & sans prétention. Très proche de ce qu'on mange en Thaïlande. On y retourne avec bonheur souvent.
