Think lots of simple wood furnishings and Indie Tunes mellowing you out. To be honest, I've had better iterations of these dishes elsewhere, but I still think the food was good, but it was the cozy atmosphere that took it over the edge. It's not for everyone- and that's part of what makes DonDonYa unique. I had the Peach Yogurt drink which was a lovely accompaniment to my meal of cold noodles with peanut sauce and the Okonomoyaki. The Okonomiyaki was a bit overcooked, but still good. The noodles were nice too, but lacking the depth of flavor I've had in other renditions of this dish. Overall, the food here is good- more like 3 star territory, but I was really enamored with how cool the place was, so I'd say 4 stars is where I feel DonDonYa lands.

I had a Lucy Liu which was delicious and had a little kick to it. The Thai basil was great counterpoint. The service was helpful and prompt and the gentleman knew the menu well. We started with the pork belly and shrimp chip combo that was in a slight sauce of red curry. The spices and flavor were delicious. We also ordered the pickled vegetables which was refreshing contrast to the meat. We also ordered stuffed chicken wings and green papaya salad. We ended with the desert of mango with sticky rice. The mango was perfectly ripe and sweet and tart enough to contrast with the coconut milk sweetened sticky rice. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the cooks work in the kitchen. The space and ambiance were lovely.

Our server Kevin was very friendly and attentive, and gave us advice on some local spots. We found the stuffed wings to be very flavorful, although we thought the sausage inside could have been juicier (it was just a tad dry). But overall, great place to get a bite! Oh, and the cocktail & their house lager was delicious!

Terrible food and poor service…read more The grilled pork collar was overwhelmingly salty and spicy. I let the server know and asked if the dish could be adjusted to make it less salty and less spicy. She simply said, "Unfortunately, no," and walked away. Overall, every dish we had was too salty and heavily over-seasoned. The spices completely overpowered the main ingredients, so it was hard to taste the actual flavor of the food. Very disappointing experience, especially given the reputation and price point.

One thing that's good or bad depending on what you like is that their menu is pretty small. I like that because it makes ordering a lot easier but there's not as much options as one might be used to going to a typical Thai restaurant. You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients, but not sure if it's worth the price given the portion. I do appreciate that their food is designed to be shared. Service was quick although they did forget one of our orders, which was fine because we were pretty full anyways. One other nice thing is this restaurant is close to Little Italy and some small shops.

I was yearning for Asian food and I came across this menu online and noticed the Thai options they…read morehad, so I walked here a few blocks from the hotel I was staying in. They were moderately busy on a Tuesday night and they greeted and seated me immediately. My server was great, very friendly and helpful. The menu had a couple of items that looked appetizing, such as the Tom Yum soup and curry chicken stir fry. I started with jasmine hot tea, which was excellent and warming after the walk in 2 degree weather. The soup was warm as well, but flavors weren't as authentic as I expected. It was decent though. Next up was the curry chicken stir fry and it was really bland, so I used a bunch of their hot sauce to spike it up. I've never been to a Thai spot that didn't have birds eye chili and Prik nam pla, as their hot sauce was a form of sriracha. It was spicy, but not much flavor. Overall, the venue was beautifully decorated and service was great, but food mediocre.

We went to this place late at night last weekend because it was the only restaurant still open on…read morethe street. I've tried another Mae Sri location before and it was decent, so I thought this downtown one would be similar. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the worst dining experiences we've ever had in Montreal. The restaurant looks nicely decorated, but it's nothing more than fake aesthetics covering terrible food and service. There were only three tables occupied, yet we were placed at a table with no lamp, sitting in the dark for almost 20 minutes. No one offered water, no one told us to scan the QR code for the menu -- absolutely no service. When someone finally came (in the end she claimed she is Claire and is the manager), her first words were: "Tap water or sparkling?" -- not even a basic hi. After we said "sparkling," she just stood there staring, clearly expecting us to order immediately, without even bringing the water first. We asked two simple questions about the menu, but every time I tried to speak she interrupted, rolled her eyes, and repeated: "Didn't you just say you want pad see ew? What's your question? Do you need more time?" What kind of manager speaks to customers like that? After 30 minutes, the food arrived. Claire literally kicked away a chair from the empty table next to us and slammed the plates in front of us. Completely unacceptable. The food itself was awful. The tom yum soup was white, lukewarm, and full of what tastes like Costco chili flakes -- nothing like any tom yum broth I've had in Thailand. the shrimps on the top were freezing cold. The pad see ew was also cold, extremely sweet, and the noodles on the edges were dried out, as if it had been sitting out for ages. Clearly not freshly cooked, yet somehow we waited 30 minutes for it. Maybe the kitchen was busy fixing the microwave. The final insult came with the bill: $7 per bottle of sparkling water. We asked why the price wasn't disclosed verbally or written anywhere on the menu. Claire once again responded with attitude, questioning "don't you know it's common knowledge?" I've lived in Montreal for over a year -- please tell me which $20-main "cheap fake Thai street food" restaurant considers $7 sparkling water to be "common knowledge"? That logic is outrageous. It got worse when she asked about desserts. (Yes she asked about desserts after we said we want the bill). Also we had already asked about the dessert when ordering, and after claire told us it wasn't available, we clearly said we didn't want any dessert. As there is no dessert menu, and she didn't tell us the prices, we thought she's finally be apologizing for her rudeness. However, she questioned us back: "Have you ever had dessert for free at a restaurant?" Like wtf? Throughout the entire visit, this so-called manager was consistently rude, hostile, and unprofessional. I honestly don't understand how a restaurant with decent Google reviews ends up with someone like this in charge. At this rate, I doubt this place will stay open much longer. By the way, in the middle of our meal, she suddenly asked if we needed chopsticks, apparently just because we looked East Asian. I'm not sure if we should consider this racist. Also btw, we both got a mild diarrhea the next day Absolutely not recommended.

There is no external signage. We were looking for it and walked right by it twice, haha. We went on a Sunday for lunch right around opening and were the first customers, lol. I imagine that when it's busy and the front patio is full, it would be more obvious that it's a restaurant. Their menu is online. You scan a QR code on the table. I'm not sure if they have actual paper menus for people who don't have smartphones or don't have data. I got the Baa Mee Moo Soup ($20). I had originally ordered the Baa Mee Moo without soup/dry but turns out the dry/soupless version has sesame seeds in the sauce. Our server was great and was vigilant about checking with the kitchen when I advised her of my sesame seed allergy. My husband had the Shrimp Pad Thai ($23). My soup had egg noodles, BBQ pork slices, ground pork, pork meatballs, pork wontons, half a boiled egg, yu choy, bean sprouts and a deep-fried wonton wrapper. It had ground peanuts and cilantro on top too. I loved the variety of items and everything was delicious. Except some BBQ pork pieces were too fatty. There were a few lean pieces, but some were way too fatty for my liking. The broth was flavourful and not excessively oily. My husband enjoyed his Pad Thai. His Shrimp Pad Thai had 5 good-sized shrimp that looked plump and juicy. I had a tiny bit of his noodles and the sauce was tangy and sweet. Service was pleasant. The decor was lovely. Would be a good place for a date. Street parking only. (122)
