Not sure where the Thai food comes into play
We started off with the scallops which were a solid 8.5/10 but everything fell apart shortly after.
The tartare & the pork jowl were okay (maybe a 6/10 but the rice that it came with felt like cement rather than sticky rice)… the food was also way too salty
The duck dish & the noodle dish however were both irredeemably disgusting. Incredibly oily, bland & the meat feeling like the texture of pet food.
We were expecting a lot more from this restaurant based on the reviews we saw online.
Thai food is usually fragrant, spicy & delicious & honestly this joint should be shut down by the Thai embassy. (False advertisement)
We had a wonderful experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, & the wine selection was great. Our waiter was incredibly helpful & guided us to a fantastic bottle of wine & perfectly chosen dishes. Excellent service & atmosphere - we will definitely recommend this place & come back again.
Everything about this restaurant was exceptional, from the food to the vibes to the service. We had:
- Beef tartare (seasoned perfectly & served with sticky rice & endives to make little wraps)
- Papaya salad (so fresh & exactly what you would expect)
- Tom Yum soup, which was one of the specials (high quality, imported seafood all cooked to tender perfection in a savoury broth that warmed us to the core)
- Tiramisu (the Thai tea flavour really shone through & it was delicious, but a tad on the sweet side. Loved the addition of coconut chips on top which added texture).
My only minor issue was the quantity of cilantro on everything, though I know this is a personal preference. The soup was also served in a vessel that was very cool (central flame to keep it warm), but felt a bit impractical for serving the soup since the ladle barely fit inside it.
There was a lovely selection of natural wines to complement the meal.
Overall, really nice ambiance & great flavours, you can tell a lot of love goes into these dishes. Would definitely return!
The food was great & we enjoyed the flavors.
We asked for the chef's choice, which was 70$ on the menu. We were two people & were served 5 dishes total. At first, we thought this was reasonable at $70 (each dish averages 17-22$), but it was not explained that this price was per person, not for the table. That meant $70 each for essentially 2.5 dishes per person. With two drinks & tip, the bill came to over $200.
What was frustrating is that the dishes served were standard menu items & not larger or special portions. Doing the math afterward, it would have been cheaper to order the same dishes individually & share them.
When we brought this up, the waitress explained that the chef's choice costs more because it's a'curated experience,' even though the selections were identical to the regular menu.
Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but it was disappointing to pay significantly more for the same dishes without the pricing being clearly explained upfront.
C'était ma deuxième visite & j'ai tout aussi aimé! La plupart des plats sont délicieux (quelques-uns sont moins dans mes goûts personnellement). Mention spéciale au collet de porc grillé épicé : wow! Service super rapide. Ambiance très cozy & familiale : j'étais dans le fond complètement les deux fois & c'est peut-être un peu plus calme. C'est toutefois plus cher que dans mes souvenirs!
Upscale Thai food with fantastic ingredients & execution. We love the spice here & the uniqueness of each dish!
amazing. LOVE the scallops, fermented pork belly, grilled pork collar & thai tea tiramisu. all super flavourful super delicious.
one thing to note we got served the sticky rice with the pork belly so we thought it came with that dish & ate it all just w that but later realized it was just a sticky rice for the table :p shoulda kept some for the other dishes
Totally worthy of the hype! The flavors were unique & surprising, mouth watering deliciousness. Fun to share small plates, but oh so satisfying. My favorite eas thr tapioca dumplings, the beef tartare & the noodles. Would reccomend, snd I'll be back again soon.
Visited Pichai with a friend & I really wanted to like it, but got sick. I explained that I was celiac, which they seemed to understand & walked me through the menu. A fair amount of gluten-free options & most was dairy-free. However, they accidentally gave me the wrong salad. So, I confirmed salad was gluten free, but later came back to tell me it contained gluten after I started eating it. The main dish was also forgotten, so we had to wait a long time. Got a free cocktail for the salad issue & the other dishes were tasty, but not worth getting sick of course.
The food tasted like the one I had in Thailand, terrific. We had the beef tartare, the curry of the day & the papaya salad. Incredible 😱 I will return for sure.
Cozy & cute ambiance. The service was great & food was also pretty good. I think my expectations might have been a little high cause I heard great things & LOVE Thai. Favourite was the Tuna! Not a huge fan of the chicken & dumpling balls were interesting / original, which I liked. No Padthai & a few traditional foods you'd expect to see on the menu just FYI
A pleasant discovery. Everything was tasty, service was great & the cocktails delicious.
#25 of Canada top 100, & the only Thai fashion cuisine.
It is a great date night destination, the dim lighting, the music, the bar, it increases your appetite & chance.
But the dim lighting makes it difficult to see the menu & the food lol
For cilantro haters, in French speaking cities, they go by coriander!
I asked them to try removed cilantro from the dishes (I was probably asking too much since I was at a Thai restaurant) & they didn't remove any! Or maybe they did, but it was still mountain portion of cilantro in every dish.
That said, great place
Service chaleureux & très bonne nourriture. J'y retournerai assurément.
This place should have a much higher star review!!! I thought it was one of the best meals I've had this year. Very tasty food & great atmosphere & wine selection.
I love this restaurant!! Easily one of my favorites in the city. The food was delicious & the staff is friendly. I enjoy the cozy vibe of the restaurant. Everything we had was tasty & the standouts we had were the scallops & steak with curry.
