THAILAND -- what comes to your mind when thinking about THAILAND? Is it the temple, the local market, the crazy nightlife, or the Thai smile?!
For me, it is PLAIN SIMPLE: THAI STREET FOOD! Just the ordinary comfort food next to the street - the smell of curries, the colourful dishes with perfect spices, and the wok skill of local vendors.
THAM.MA.DA, a Thai word used to describe something ordinary or simple, is a casual dining cuisine serving ordinary but authentic Thai street dishes. As well as Thai inspired drinks that will bring the “ordinary but extraordinary” vibes, the “same same, but different” food on the plate for you to EXPERIENCE.
Thammada stands out with a warm, intimate dining room, a menu full of fresh, well seasoned Thai dishes, and a friendly, attentive staff that makes the experience feel effortless. Across many visits, dishes like pad Thai, pad see ew, curries, satay and papaya salads are praised for balanced flavors, quality ingredients, and vibrant aromatics, while drinks and desserts add to the enjoyable vibe. The setting is described as cozy and charming, ideal for dates or casual meals with friends, and many highlight reasonable prices given the quality, with a few noting some variability in portion size or pacing. Overall, Thammada delivers authentic Thai flavors, thoughtful service, and a welcoming atmosphere that leaves guests eager to return.
Bangkok Iced Tea (mocktail) - 10/10
I had the mocktail version & it was amazing-like an iced tea mixed with a mojito, which are two of my favourite drinks. The flavour was a 10/10. There was a bit too much ice, so it felt like I didn't get much actual drink, & it wasn't the most visually appealing, but don't let that stop you from ordering it.
Never Ending Summer - 3/10
This drink mostly just tasted like alcohol with little to no flavour. It was honestly not enjoyable-more like alcohol mixed with water. It looked nice, but the taste didn't match. My friend only finished it because she paid for it.
Choo Chee Goong - 9/10
This dish was delicious. I have a low spice tolerance, & while it was quite spicy for me, it wasn't overpowering-I could still taste all the flavours. I personally would have preferred it a bit less spicy, but that's just my preference. I would still definitely recommend it.
Shrimp Pad Thai - 8/10
Very tasty overall. It only came with four shrimp, so I do wish there were a few more, but they were cooked perfectly. I don't usually like when shrimp tastes overly'fishy,' but this was done really well. I forgot to ask for no egg (since I don't like it), but aside from that, I enjoyed it. I do wish the menu had more vegetable options-adding something like broccoli to the pad thai would make it even better.
Menu
I was a bit disappointed that the online menu didn't match the in-person menu, as some items I wanted to try weren't available.
Overall Food & Atmosphere
The food is definitely good, & the ambiance is cute, chill, & enjoyable.
Service
The service was a bit disappointing. We waited about 15 minutes at the beginning before anyone checked on us, & about an hour for our food-even though we arrived right at opening & were the first to order. Other tables that ordered after us received the same dishes before we did ours. We almost felt a little ignored even
There were also delays with smaller things: empty water glasses for 5-10 minutes, plates not cleared for around 10-20 minutes, & a long wait (over 10 minutes) for chopsticks after our food arrived-I had to remind the server, he had brought them to the wrong table.
While the server was kind & gave a great drink recommendation, he seemed a bit overwhelmed or scattered, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, the service could have been more attentive & organized.

A thai resto in Mile-End that was smaller than we thought but could still accommodate a big group. Floor was a bit slippery so would recommend putting a carpet. Shared different appetizers & dishes. Tasty food but more expensive & smaller portion than we thought! Service was great though!
J'ai pas l'habitude de laisser des commentaires sur les sites internet
Par contre Thammada est le meilleur resto que j'ai visité . Des plats tellement bon avec un personnel très bien agréable.. je vous suggère à 1000/100 d'aller manger .
Je vous recommande des manger le padseew merci beaucoup pour l'équipe
Super ambiance pour notre souper de Noel au travail. Excellent accompagnement pour la préparation, souci du détail, accomodement pour les personnes avec intolérances ou allergies alimentaires. Absolument tous les mets étaient WOW. On recommande chaudement!

Shoutout to the staff working tonight, sunday november 2nd. I came in to pick up a dish for take out, & i found the man who took charge of getting my dish, & the way he interacted with the kitcken to be great. Explained to me that I would get my order shortly. While I was waiting, there was a really nice synchrony & vibe in the restaurant, people were being served, the vibe was cosy , & people seemed really well. It was great to see.
Then i saw the person getting me my order & saw he added a drink to my order. Once I got home, to my suprise, it was a FOCO guava drink. I had never had this. It was so good. Thank you for making me try this, you sharing this with me, opened my mind to a new flavour & type of drink. It was very very nice. It reminds of the italian pear nectars. But it's own thing, a sweet nectar. really really nice. Next time I order a Pad See Ew, i will be adding one of these to my orders. It's a really great idea to get us to try your drinks that way. If not, its not something we know, or might think of. I'm glad & lucky you shared this experience with me .
Oh & also, in my opinion, their Pad See Eww (with beef) is best in the city. Always consistently good . An incredible well crafted treat. Cheers to the kitchen. Your quality is really what always stands out. A master dish, that be consumed in the comfort of you're own home. I'm sure its amazing in restaurant too. Also, throughout the years coming here, i have consistently found the service to get my order to always be a mindful experience, where the waiter takes good care of you.
Very human experience. I highly recommend. & I dedicate this review to the Takout Experience & give my applause to this great great restaurant.
C'était notre première visite, mais pas la dernière! Nous avons ADORÉ notre souper!
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux. Le service a été fabuleux & chaque plat, absolument délicieux! Ce fut une merveilleuse soirée, sur leur terrasse unique & intime!
Je recommande ce restaurant à 100%
Just had the most unreal dining experience at Thamada, & wow… this place is pure magic. From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in the scent of lemongrass, chili, & all the warm, inviting vibes you'd hope for. 🌿🔥
The food? Next level. The Pad Kra Pao had that perfect holy basil kick with a fried egg so golden it deserves its own spotlight. 🍳 The Tom Yum Goong was bright, tangy, & soul-warming. It felt like a hug in a bowl. & don't even get me started on the Massaman Curry… velvety, rich, & melt-in-your-mouth tender. Pure comfort with a touch of elegance. 5 stars ong no cap.
Drinks are just as dreamy, a lemongrass spritzer that refreshes like a breeze in Bangkok, & Thai iced tea so smooth it's basically dessert in a glass.
& the server was the most professional man I've seen. Kind, great, & he could do tricks whilst preparing the drinks that I've never seen before. It's as if Dionysus the god of alcohol himself possessed the man.
Don't listen to the Nirvana reviewer, he lied in his review & doesn't know what he's talking about. I recommend Thammada for any fan of Thai food!
Certainement le meilleur restaurant thaïlandais de Montréal à mon goût, on y mange très bien & j'ai toujours été très bien servi là-bas. Le cadre intimiste est idéal pour des groupes de 2 à 5 personnes. Je recommande grandement!

We arrived at our prescribed reservation time but were told to wait for them to clear the table - we waited up to 15 mins. They were very busy - seems like everyone left or arrived at same time. But having said that, the food was very good, tasty & flavourful unfortunately not warm enough to my liking. The service was friendly & attentive once we were seated at our table. The atmosphere is quaint, café like, with soft lighting. I'd return & recommend the restaurant
We ordered papaya salad & chicken wings for appetizers, Beef Panang curry & Kha Prao Moo for main & roti for dessert. The food was overall good, but we were disappointed by menu that has been reduced & changed for some reasons. I was expecting to have more variations as per the menu found on their website, but the actual menu was much smaller. I especially wanted to try their dumplings & Khao Soi, both were not there anymore. Neither was mango sticky rice (this one was probably removed because of the season). So I'd recommend you to inform yourself of the currently available menu before going. Another downside was the waiting time between the appetizers & the main menu. We waited for about a half an hour after finishing the first 2 plates. They did a nice little birthday surprise for my boyfriend though, thanks a lot!
