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 shines with flavorful Thai cuisine made from fresh ingredients and bright, well balanced flavors. The menu covers favorites like Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Massaman and green curry, with standout dishes such as green papaya salad, mango sticky rice, and fried tofu. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with a small friendly vibe and a charming terrace that many reviews praise. Service is consistently described as attentive and warm, though there are occasional notes of slower service when busy or portions that feel small for the price. Cocktails receive praise for creativity and balance, but some feedback mentions they can be a little light on alcohol. Overall, Thammada is regarded as a standout Thai option in Montreal with repeat visits and strong recommendations.
Thamada is a great spot for date night in Montreal. The vibe is cool & relaxed, & the service was excellent. We loved the mango salad , satay skewers & the stir-fried beef with basil, chili, jasmine rice, & a crispy fried egg . Everything was delicious & well balanced. Dessert was just as good, We had the Thai roti with vanilla ice cream. A really enjoyable meal from start to finish
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.
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!
We always come back here for a good time & great food! The vibe is very laid back but still upbeat (imagine early 2000s RnB). The service is great as well, the waiters we've encountered have always been personable. The food is authentically Thai, everything we've taken (& we usually change it up whenever we go) has always been a hit! Tip: do not pass on desserts! 🥞🥭🍚
As regulars, it is always a pleasure to come back to THAMMADA. The vibes, the food, the staff is always on point. However, last time my girlfriend & I were there for her birthday on September 4th, it was a bit disappointing that she didn't get a little cake...

Dear Steven & Dom, Tonight was amazing. The food came super quick & was so tasty!!! We got the pad sew, Tom yum soup, pad Thai, peanut dumplings, mango sticky rice & the crepe! Such a great vibe, service was so friendly. We will definetly be coming back!! Love Dalia, Maxine & Arielle's x2
Vibes 10/10, overall great experience, started with 3 shareable snack plates then shared 3 main plates. Muay Thai / Bangkok Iced Tea were really good + the Sancerre they had was a good crisp bottle to pair with the spicy punches!! Also can't go wrong w/ the mango sticky rice ! Shoutout to the owners
Every dish was fantastic. We ordered the dinner for 2, & I don't have a favorite but each dish was perfectly seasoned, fragrant & satisfying mouthfeel with every bite. Thanks for making my first experience with Tom yum soup an excellent one! The pork belly & braised short ribs were exceptional if I had to pick, & the dressing for the moon paper & papaya salad helped balance any richness in the dishes. The servers were kind & engaging & it was a great vibe in the restaurant, chill, loungey & still allowed for private conversation. Particularly liked the chosen artwork on the walls. Thanks Thammada! I look forward to eating there again!
Great vibe. Loved the lighting & the playlist selection. The food was delicious, especially the moon papers & the beef egg rolls. It took a little long to receive our drinks. But otherwise great night. I will be returning!
