Probably the best Thai food in Montreal. If someone disagrees, please message me with a place to try and I will.
The problem I have with most of the Asian food in Montreal is that 90% are some weird fusion of multiple cuisine eg. Thai and sushi (Japanese) - thankfully this isn't one of those places.
I went here with my mate from Australia and my girlfriend (who's lived in Australia), so the standards were set high. I realise that in Australia we are spoiled when it comes to Asian food (given our proximity), but I still can't understand why is it seems like EVERY Asian restaurant has "General Tao" chicken on the menu?!? WTF is General Tao chicken?
We started off with some chicken satay skewers, which were good. We then shared a pad thai with shrimp (pad thai is the "yard-stick meal" by which all Thai restaurants should be judged - if you can't do a pad thai right, I'm not going to bother with your other dishes), a spicy basil beef dish, and a red curry with chicken. I can say that all the dishes were up to scratch. The basil beef wasn't quite as spicy as I would've liked (traditional Thai food will burn your face off), but there doesn't seem to be much spicy food in Montreal, so I'll write that off to catering to the local market. The red chicken curry was solid.
The only thing this place was missing was a green curry! I couldn't see it on the menu anywhere. I did like the fact that you can bring your own wine - BYO places are few and far between in this town. -

Not bad at all. The service was a bit slow. But the price was reasonable and it was BYOB. For 16$ you get soup, a spring roll and a main dish. The Won Ton soup was very tasty. I really enjoyed it. I also ordered the shrimp spring roll and it was decent. I've had better and was hoping for more dipping sauce. The main dish I chose was a chicken, shrimp and vegetable on a bed of noodles. Super tasty!!! Definitely worth it for the price you pay!!

I rolled in this joint on a rainy Saturday after strolling the streets of Montreal for a few hours. A bowl of Tom Yum soup seemed in order. The place was quiet - it was sort of between lunch and dinner - so the soup came right out and it hit the spot.
The nice waiter and I had a good chat. I was full and warmed up and ready to hit the street after. A good investment, I say.
