THAÏLANDE - Qu'est-ce qui vous vient à l'esprit quand vous pensez à THAÏLANDE? Est-ce le temple, le marché local, la vie nocturne folle ou le sourire thaïlandais?!
Pour moi, c'est TRÈS SIMPLE: THAI STREET FOOD! Juste les plats réconfortants ordinaires à côté de la rue - l’odeur des caris, les plats colorés avec des épices parfaites et l’habileté au wok des vendeurs locaux.

Ainsi que des boissons inspirées de la cuisine thaïlandaise qui apporteront une ambiance «ordinaire mais extraordinaire», le même, mais différent dans l’assiette pour vous permettre de DÉCOUVRIR.

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.
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!
It was a busy night, so the waiters were a little slow to take our orders or fill our water after providing us with our drinks. But the food was outstanding, & we ate vegetarian/vegan. Will definitely go back
Loved this little place! THE BEST PAD SEW I've ever had. The appetizers were also amazing, we were 9 girls & everyone agreed it was delicious. The drinks were great & the service was top notch!
Most things on the menu are spicy which I don't do but there are some non spicy options. Just a heads up that the peanut sauce on the'non spicy' chicken skewers is a bit spicy - I let my waiter know since I had requested non spicy & he apologized & brought me a free imperial roll entree ! They really own customer satisfaction!
My amaretto sour made with a Quebec amaretto was amazing.
Parking is apparently usually a bit hard to find but we went on a Saturday night & most of us found parking in front or close by.
The doors to get into the restaurant are a level
Down on the side of the building. It's a small place but very cozy & homey. I like that you can hear eachother talk & the music isn't too loud. The decor & ambient lighting is very comfortable & makes you feel like you aren't really in Montreal. Loved it!
The seating we sat in - a half booth & high tables was ok but after a while
Your legs start to hurt since there isn't really anywhere to rest your feet. People in the booth had their feet dangle with nowhere to rest them. Would be cool if the tables had foot rests.
The food is great here but I recommend just ordering delivery because from the second you walk in it is chaotic, even if you made a reservation before. The staff was on edge & stressed which didn't help the experience. The drinks & appetizers take longer than the main courses to come out so if you do eat here be sure not to order your main course at the same time as your drinks or appetizers. I'm also not sure why they removed the rice from the Pad Kha Prao, so now you have to order additional rice on the side & also they removed the spring rolls which were the best in Montreal in my opinon.
Belle endroit à connaître . Cuisine très bien travailler . Salade de papaye , rouleaux , pad thai, pad see très bon . Drink happy hour intéressant . On y retourne ? Oui
