They balance elegance and innovation with the authenticity of familiar Thai classics. In short, the food is just freakin' amazing. Think Thai dishes perfected and fused with French cooking techniques in order to elevate them to a new level. They also explore some spicy options including vinegar and Thai sauces served on the side, which provide customizable options, greatly increasing the playfulness of the dining experience, allowing us to peak into the mind of the chef and letting the customer finish the dishes themselves--an educational touch that will make you better at cooking just by eating here! This is one of the most amazing Thai fusion restaurants in the world and it's a blessing to have Mae Sri here in little ole Montreal. Get the Pad Thai, it's a perfect dish. Pad Se Ew is great. My personal favorite is the spicy braised beef soup (so much depth here). The Thai iced tea is actually addictive and super rich (amazing). Dine in to get the full experience with the SAUCE, it makes everything much more complete. The crispy pork is also great. Everything here is plain delicious. It's casual but fine dining, perfect for a date or small party with friends. The Uber Eats from here is also solid. Thank you Mae Sri!

This is a small no-frills Thai restaurant with a simple menu, but everything is incredibly…read moreflavorful. Their Beef Noodle Soup is my favorite. Rich, comforting, and packed with taste. I stop by whenever I'm in Montreal because honestly, their food is better than most of the neighborhood Thai restaurants in the New York/New Jersey metro area. Many of them don't even serve Thai Beef noodle soup(Kuay Teow Nua). If you care more about authentic flavor than fancy decor, this place is a gem.

Decided to try Pangji Guilin Nouilles for a late weekday lunch. They specialize in Guangxi food…read more The waitress was sweet and friendly. Main dishes are $14.99 to $19.99. Make sure to try their hot sauce concoction. They ask for spice preference; went with medium (which was closer to mild). - River snails homemade noodle (D2) ($17.99) - plenty of bean curd. Homemade wavy noodles were plain but decent bite. Broth was homey - Guilin rice noodle - beef (B1) ($15.99) - comes with the usual side soup. Beef slices were good but thin

FYI: location has changed for those comparing google maps to yelp. this is now on St. Catherine…read morestreet. Definitely underrated- new on the block. Please check them out if the other eateries look crowded. It's hard to find Guilin food in general since most cuisines are Szechuan, Lanzhou, Cantonese, or Northern China. Therefore, I'm glad a small family business has done this will. You will all know Guilin food for its ubiquitous snail noodle made popular in the media in the past few years, now sold in instant packets at the grocery store. I promise the real thing is better. You must order a hand pulled noodle here, and yes, these actually are hand made by knife and hand. Some places call themselves hand pulled but use a machine in the back which I argue should not be calling themselves hand pulled but maybe handmade. I recommend calling a soup noodle and a dry noodle to compare the flavors. We ordered a fried pig feet- this is actually not common because most places braise their pig feet. My husband attests it's very good and that's a rare statement from him since he has had a lot of pig feet in his life. Snail noodle soup- way better in person. The flavors are milder and toppings are way more. Soup is way salty though, so I don't recommend drinking but rather seeing it as more of a gravy. Call this if you are a noodle soup person looking for some spice and comfort. Dry noodle- ok we called one that was vinegar based and then we called the double fried pork belly one. Both had incredible noodle base. Double fried pork is probably the one most people will like better because of the chili oil, meat, and garlic flavor. Personally, I actually thought the vinegar base one was more refreshing although that is an acquired taste. Ask your waitress ahead of time to clarify the "base" flavor of the dry noodle before you order so you don't get a flavor profile you didn't expect. The waitress/staff here are friendly and don't look hassled. The environment was clean and does not feel greasy despite some of the dishes definitely needing a higher smoke point. I like the multiple plants botanical vibe here with contrasts with its smokier and heavier dishes.

Trying this place for the first time and it surprised me! We were joking about the name (Thammada…read moremeans Typical/average in Thai). The ambience is chic and relaxing. We tried staple dishes like Peak Gai Tod (chicken wings app) which was a good change compared to a typical ones tossed in sweet chili sauce which I often find to be too sweet-- this one is more fish sauce forward with a hint of maybe tamarind tanginess? Good in general. For main course we got shrimp pad thai, beef Pad see ew, and braised beef short ribs Panang. The panang is top notch! The meat was tender and generous, if anything I wish there were more curry broth and a bit more spice. But overall would definitely order again. Both noodle dishes were great and well prepared. This place is definitely Mai Thammada! Kudos to the wait staff for their excellent service.

We visited Bistro Ona on our recent trip to Montreal and it was amazing! It was the best meal of…read moreour trip (and it was by far much more enjoyable than the Michelin restaurant we dined at a few nights later). Our family of five had the chance to try several dishes including the pad thai, chicken satay, papaya salad, vegetable spring rolls, chicken fried rice- all delicious and flavorful. However, our favorite dishes were the tamarind shrimp and the 3 flavor chili fish- both especially excellent dishes. We enjoyed dinner so much we had to get desserts to share. We enjoyed both the mango sticky rice and the sticky rice with Thai custard. Our daughter was able to get have the chocolate lava cake that was a limited special that evening- she loved it but ate it so fast that none of the rest of us had a chance to try it! On top of the excellent food, the service was amazing and the space is beautiful, cozy and quaint. The owners are wonderful people who have taken care with every detail. The jazz guitar set a relaxing mood to catch up with old friends. This is a great place for a date night for two but welcoming enough to bring your entire family. We will stop by again next time we are in Montreal!

Loved our meal at Pichai that I knew I had to try Pumpui during this past GP weekend. Arrived…read moreshortly after 6 and the restaurant was packed. Luckily, a booth opened up within a few minutes for us which helped as we were going to try a bunch of dishes. Pad kaprao pork - simply put, awesome! One of my go to dishes when having Thai food back home or online BKK. Only complaint was that I wish the egg was served sunny side up instead fried to a well done. Pad pak boong pork - another awesome dish! Not sure how you can go wrong with crispy pork belly w/ perfectly sautéed morning glory. We did order this mild and it was still pretty spicy for me. Not sure why the rice served in Montreal is so wet. IIRC, the white rice at Pichai was also pretty wet. Ended up wasting almost the entire plate as it was so mushy. Gaeng massaman gai - the one dish that was just ok in my opinion which is odd since I usually love red curry. Not sure what was lacking but something was a bit off. Since the pad pak boong came with a huge plate of rice, asked the waitress to not bring another serving. Pad thai - pretty tasty and noticed almost all patrons ordering this dish. Wished I could've subbed the shrimp for chicken. Quebec lobster - this was one of the main reasons for dining here as I kept seeing IG posts about this. Sadly, this was a disappointing dish. The lobster really didn't have any meat and thought it was weird they served it with what tasted like salsa verde. Khao neeo mamuang - great way to end the meal. Perfectly cooked glutinous rice w/ an ample amount of coconut milk. Was surprised at how sweet the mango was. Almost as good as Mae Varee in BKK!! Would definitely come back the next time we are in town for the GP!

The food is so good! :D I had the Gra Borng: fried kabocha squash fritters served with a spicy tamarind sauce. Pad Kaprao (Vegan): stir-fried tofu and Quebec mushrooms with holy basil, served with jasmine rice. The waitress warned me that it was very spicy and asked if I wanted it less spicy. I said yes to that and it was still very spicy for me. Beware of the red chillies! The jasmine rice saved me! :P I would definitely visit again.

Pooh and I came here for our last night in Montreal…read more The ambience is low key, quiet, zen with music playing softly in the background. Our server was cool and helpful. I started off with the Imperial Rolls and for my main I ordered the Singapore Noodles with chicken. Pooh ordered the Yaki Udon with filet mignon. We also had a bottle of rosé. The imperial rolls (2) were hot, crispy and not greasy. The sauce was thick and had a nice tang and not too sweet. The Singapore Noodles were hot, the vegetables were crispy and the curry was present without being overwhelming; the bean sprouts were warm and still had a good snap to them. A great dish; very tasty and filling. Pooh's portion was generous, filled with vegetables and enveloped with a tasty beef sauce. The table that we were sat at is low. I'm 6'2" so I cannot bend my legs at 90 degrees without hitting the table. If you have long legs request a higher table. We will return
