Review Summary

Thaison 1997 reviews describe a modest dining room and order counter but emphasize friendly staff and food that is delicious and affordable, with standout items such as made to order Bahn Mi, crispy pork belly, and other BBQ meats. A family gathering mentioned whole crispy pig and boxes of duck salad Vietnamese style, with everyone enjoying the crispy pork and the fresh salad. Prices are praised as very good and portions are generous, and the seafood soup is highlighted as excellent while the crispy pork is noted as the restaurant's specialty. The peking duck is repeatedly praised for freshness and value compared with other places, and longtime diners say the place remains reliable for authentic flavors despite not having the most upscale decor. Some reviews acknowledge a recent dip in quality with smaller portions and certain dishes feeling off, leading a few to consider trying alternatives. Overall the notes describe a hidden gem with authentic flavors, friendly service, and generous servings that make it worth a visit despite variability.

I gave this establishment 5 stars for atmosphere. Truth be told, it has a humble dining room & order counter but I wouldn't want that to dissuade people from giving them a try. The owners & staff are friendly. The food is delicious & affordable. Stand outs are their made to order Bahn Mi, crispy pork belly & bbq meats.

Thai Son is a hidden gem in Montreal. Our family had peking duck, was very delicious. Despite visiting Thai Son many times, I was a bit hesitating to write this review due to reading some of the negative feedbacks because as a a customer, I want to provide fair reviews. Still, my family & I had never experienced bad treatments even though we've come back several times so I think the restaurant definitely deserves a shot to be known by more customers or simply, & especially if you miss & seek authentic peking-style/ Chinese BBQ dishes. Keep in mind Thai Son has been opened for many years so the restaurant's decoration is not the most outstanding compared to many others so the environment won't fail your expectations, however, they've stood still over many years, have concrete dear customers & mostly importantly for culinary, taste speaks, isn't it.
