Best Thai food I've had in Montreal. I was in Bangkok a month ago and this is really, really close to what you can get on the street.
The cooks are are really Thai, they import many things from Thailand (Try the imported coconut water - delicious!) and know what they are doing.
Considering other Thai places in Montreal actually use vermicelli in place of flat rice noodles for pad Thai, you may find that having authentic Thai isn't what you're used to.
However, if you're not from around here and have a craving for good, properly made Thai food, this is it. -

In short: great flavour, filthy location.
This is probably the best place to get pad thai in the city. It's spicy and sweet at the same time. I like my food spicy but a medium is sometimes too much.
The fried rice and seafood eggplant are also delicious. Ask for an egg on your fried rice, you won't be disappointed.
The ONLY downside to Bangkok in the Faubourg is...well it's located in the Faubourg. This mall needs a serious facelift and I've seen cockroaches scuttle by me on more than one occasion.
Seriously good food but ignorance is bliss, when eating at the Faubourg. -

Seriously the best pad thai I've ever had in Montreal. My uncle first ordered it as takeout and gave it to me try several years ago and I was in love. It's got a hint of sweet and spicy taste to it. But not too sweet! Not expensive at all. I've tried only their pad thai but they have a variety: shrimp, chicken etc. I always take my family to eat at this place since it's quick and cheap! If you're looking to grab a quick inexpensive bite downtown this is the place to go!

Bangkok is something of an unexpected treasure. For one, it's a relatively legit Thai food restaurant - no Thai Express, no close-proximity. (When you buy the pad thai, you can tell almost before taking a bite how real it is. Sensational seasoning!) It's maybe not exactly what I remember, but I'd be surprised to find anything similar in walking distance, if not in the city at large.
Secondly, it's on the second floor of a food court. In Singapore or Kuala Lumpur that's not unusual, but in Montreal, that's pretty surprising. Most stalls would suffer, but clearly, Bangkok thrives. The stall may have various signs up of awards that seem no newer than 5 years ago, but the surest sign of its popularity is the tempestuous line-up of people waiting for their food. When a stall can keep a steady stream of customers to closing, you know it's a level above everyone else.
The downside is service. The counter girls don't quite have a full grasp of their own menu. When you order, you get a number. Which sounds relatively foolproof until they give you the wrong order anyway. Since the average dish is 8-$10, it goes without saying that you should open up in front of their staff before heading out.
I'll be sure to give this place a go next time I'm hankering for Thai food. I just need to make sure they serve what I order. :) -

The Faubourg is in a constant flux of renovation but no matter how difficult it is to find the staircase or escaltor amid the construction, Bangkok, nestled on an unassuming third floor food court, always has a crowd. Now many people love marveling that "the best Thai food in Montreal is located in a food court." They're wrong. Bangkok is not the best Thai in Montreal but it is by far the best Thai for the price in Montreal. Most dishes are between 6 and 7 dollars (compare to 15-18 at the better and fancier Thai places). So it's good food for the same prices you'd pay for a pile of greasy noodles at Thai Express (although I admit to eating there once in a while but that's just because they're practically everywhere)
The food is spicy too. Usually when I ask for spicy, it's not. I once saw a woman trying to return a green curry chicken because she said it was "too spicy." After they tried to explain to her that curry is spicy, she left her hardly touched plate on the table and walked off in a huff. I laughed and thought to myself (although wished I had the gall to ask her to her face), "you ordered a curry. What did you expect? If you don't like spicy food, why are you eating Thai at all?" -

At first I was skeptical when my friend said that the best thai food in Montreal is in a food court, but now I'm a believer. Third floor of the Faubourg (which sort of smells like glue and was creepily abandoned when we went at dinnertime), in the corner, is an incredible gem that should expand and make lots of money because they're so good.
I had the chicken tom yum soup, which was spicy and creamy and hot, then we split an eggplant dish and pad thai with tofu. The pad thai was very good, a big mound of spicy and flavorful food, while the eggplant was astonishing. I had never tried Thai eggplant before so I can't really say whether it was better than its other incarnations, but I loved it. It was almost too spicy and I was very grateful for the heaps of white rice under it. Super cheap, super good!
Eat here! -

This is THE best Thai in Montreal. yeah, it's in the middle of a grungy food-court but don't let that fool you. Their Pad Thai is out of this world, and yes they use huge plump, juicy shrimps, not this cheap Matane shrimp crap.
They make everything to taste, if you want nuclear-hot, you got it. if you want mild, you can get that too. Their Beef with Aubergine, Shrimp Pad Thai, deep fried tofu, coconut water drink, all of it is simply amazing.
Montreal has always had a problem with authentic Thai restos, either overpriced, or not authentic. Do yourself a favor and come here for your spice fix! -

I love anything peanut sauce, and Cuisine Bangkok's still is the best in the city. Also, Garlic Pepper Squid. Green curry chicken. I like to get spicy or extra spicy and just pick out the hot peppers, putting them aside (it's too hot with the peppers, but on medium or mild I feel that the rice and veggies don't get enough flavor). Spring rolls are pretty great too.
I tend to stick to veggies, seafood and tofu. The quality of the chicken and the beef are just OK, not fantastic. Squid and shrimp are pretty darn good though. -

The food was amazing. I had seafood PadThai and the coconut water drink was good too. Overall the food was great according to the price. Great Value! They adjust the spice to your taste. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely come back :)

Best curry around. As far as affordable Thai food goes, the quality of vegetables and sauces is very high. I prefer it to any other Thai food in Montreal, let alone the St Catherine's strip. Its sister restaurant Bangkok 2 is nowhere near as good. The service at this "fast food" place in the Faubourg is lovely, fast and clean. I go at least once a week and am never disgusted or disappointed.

this is easily my favourite place to eat in montreal, let alone the best thai i've ever had. everytime i order a veggie pad thai elsewhere, i constantly compare it to bangkok and how i'd just rather be sitting in that depressing foodcourt.

Upstairs in the mall, above the Starbucks. I had the egg pad thai and shrimp coconut soup; fantastic food! I asked for "medium spicy" and got something that was comfortably spicy, which is unusual and nice!

My favorite at this place is the phad Thai and the stir chicken eggplant . I have been eating there since college and I was excited to go back yesterday. However, I found the phad Thai a bit too salty .. But I would say it is the best place for Thai food. But there is always a line up..
