    The plan tonight was to go to Pho Lien a good Vietnamese place which is right next door, but it was packed and my sister in law had a bit of a look of panic that she was only going to have soup to choose from.

    We took a chance and went to Talay Thai and WOW very good.  Having been to Thailand recently I must say the recipe's used tasted traditional and very flavorful.  We ordered about 5 dishes in total that we shared family style, and I only have great things to say about each of them.  The decor wasn't that authentic, but in the end we're there for the food right.

    A definite  repeat visit the next time I want to get my Thai on.

    I came to Talay Thai on a Thursday night. There was only one server who was efficient and polite. Theres not much to really talk about the decor. They have only one big room that seats not more then a 100 people even. And they a have left some thai touches on the decor here and there. There were mostly couples seated that day so I guess the place does have a warm initimate feel to it. However the air was really damp and humid. I belive its probably not as big of a problem when in the summer they have windows and doors open. Anyway you should be a bit careful if your nose is congested. Anywhooo...

    Heres the main part. The Food: Average! I had fried chicken with veggies and Red curry. Werent as spicy they quality just average. The mango salad was my first try so I was quite delighted. It was soury and sweet and I liked it.

    They seemed to have beer and wine and a full bar too. Didnt try any of the drinks so cant comment.

    Definitely not THE BEST Thai restaurant in Montreal.

    You've got to be kidding me "Best Thai..."

    The pad thai - that is the staple dish to judge a good Thai place from a bad thai place - it tasted like yucky tomato-y ketchup grossness. I had this chicken dish there too and it tasted like old foot cheese.

    Ventilation is so bad in here that all the steamy fry smell was permanently ingrained into my clothes and hair. I had to visit the dry cleaner's to de-toxify my clothing.

    I can make better Thai food out of a dry-mix box from the local 7-11.

    I'm giving 2 stars because the mango salad was okay. I mean, how can you go wrong with sliced raw mango on a dish, really.

    You like Thai? What's the best Thai restaurant in the city, Chao Phraya? Phaya Thai? Thai Grill? WRONG!!! It's THIS little hole in the wall on Cote des Neiges and Cote St. Catherine.

    I've dragged dozens of people in there, daring them to NOT call it the best Thai they've had in the city, and they universally come out agreeing with me. It's f---g delicious. Go try it.

    I fully agree with D D.

    FAR FAR FAR from best Thai in Montreal..

    We ate there a while ago, we each had a basic main dish, it came with a soup that was too salty and tasted kinda old. The main dish didn't taste that good, wasn't impressed at all.

    The service was OK, felt a bit forced.

    The price was TOO MUCH, for 2 people I paid close to $40 without ordering drinks or dessert. Too bad for them Pho Lien is right down stairs, there's absolutely no reason for us to return to Talay Thai.

    However I have to say the decorations are pretty cool.
