Very cute vibrant decor & tasty food. I went on a Wed for dinner with a friend & the restaurant was bustling. Our favorite dish was the tapioca dumplings, it was unlike anything we've tried before & it was delicious.

Vibe is great but the food is NOT; this is the type of "thai" cuisine that has been overly adapted to Western interpretation.

I will remember the meal I had at Pichai for a long time I think. & thanks to the chef for using a good amount of chilis. It’s not real Thai food without it.

One of the better Thai food places I’ve tried in Canada. Most of the dishes were great, but the corn salad & sausage dish really fell flat. Drinks were a little watered down, & the food was a tad pricey for what it was. Definitely worth the visit, but personally did not live up to the hype for me.

My favourite restaurant in a city full of amazing food. I’ve eaten here so many times & often bring out of town visitors. Everyone is always so impressed. Be sure to try the whole fish & tiramisu.

Two of us thought that the arctic char & other dishes made for their best restaurant meals they’d ever had. I “just” thought that it was absolutely superb.

Wow. Wizards of spice & flavour must inhabit the kitchen because every dish here is magic. Prepare for some heat though by ordering a good bottle of wine from their impressive list. Perfect meal & date night - the hype around this place is real.

The food was really disappointing especially for the price. I had the green curry special & it was so oily. The sauce had a decent flavour but nothing mind blowing. It was like the vegetables & meat couldn’t hold the flavour because the sauce was so oily it just slid off. & the beef was also very fatty & hard to chew. The prices were outrageous.The veg red curry took on a strange flavour the more it sat. The tamarind egg were so underwhelming basically just a soft boiled egg. The papaya salad was our favourite but you could find something comparable at probably any Thai restaurant. Our server was very kind & the ambience was great. Unfortunately the food was a let down.

Utterly outstanding!! Would walk there from anywhere to eat there, & the pork collar in particular! Service great & a fascinating & brilliant wine selection.

Ce restaurant propose une carte à des prix très élevés pour des plats à partager. On suggère 4 à 6 plats à deux, & la moyenne des plats semble se situer autour de 30$ (vu certains plats à 50$, dont un plat d'omble chevalier). Les bouteilles de vin commencent à 60$ (une seule à ce prix - moyenne autour de 85$-90$?). Bref je dis ça pour que vous sachiez à quoi vous attendre. Ça ne me poserait pas de problème si l'ambiance & le service accompagnaient les prix. Le personnel & les tables relèvent davantage d'un boui-boui que d'un lieu qui se veut sophistiqué (& on me sert mieux dans plusieurs boui-boui, j'aimerais le mentionner).

À mon avis ce n'est pas normal d'attendre 10 minutes pour recevoir le menu & un verre d'eau sur une terrasse où les tables sont séparées par moins de 30 cm & de ne même pas se faire regarder à l'accueil. J'ai posé une question à l'hôte qui ne m'a même pas répondue - car la musique était trop forte à l'intérieur pour qu'il puisse m'entendre.

La cuisine est certes bonne (mais inégale - certains plats réussis d'autres semblant encore être au banc d'essai), mais on ne passe pas un bon moment. À ce genre d'addition très salée, je préfère plein d'autres tables qui ont le service à coeur. Là-bas on a l'impression qu'on devrait s'excuser de réclamer du service. Du snobisme flotte dans l'air.
