I went to Pamika Brseerie Thai for diner a couple months ago and I can wholeheartedly say that it was some of the best tasting food I've ever had. I'll never forget those flavours. Their Thom Kha Kai soup (coconut milk base) is the best soup I've ever had. Everything was on point. GREAT restaurant.

Food was just okay. Ordered crispy shrimp, Tom yum soup, Tom yum pad Thai, green curry. Shrimp was a cool idea, but felt like the egg noodle was more a gimmick cuz it didn't add much. Sauces weren't thick or rich enough in the pad Thai and curry. Lobster in the pad thai seemed pre-cooked frozen, definitely not fresh. Overall food tasted pretty muted. Place is beautiful though and service was great. Didn't see any East Asian servers, they were all in the kitchen, classic discrimination.

If you’re ever looking for a great Thai restaurant with diverse meals, this place is for you! The MTL à la table menu was good but it is definitely more worth your money to get their regular à la carte menu. The only caveat was that the service wasn’t great perhaps they were understaffed that day? Otherwise truly 10/10.

One of my favorite restaurent in Montréal! The best things are the salmon tartar and the beef paneng with sticky rice. You can’t go wrong with those two! I usually not eat spicy 🌶️ but it is so amazingly good I can’t stop myself. If you’re real hungry I also recommend the pad thai. The satay wagyu is not recommended. It was very small and forgettable. For the same price you have the salmon tartar which is exceptional. We wanted beer but it was not available that evening. We ordered margaritas thai I think and it was really good! A must if you are in town you won’t regret it <3

We came here on a busy weekend night and the vibes were immaculate. Great location and very clean restaurant and kitchen, we enjoyed our time here so much. We sat at the bar and Egan made our time unforgettable because he provided some of the best service we have ever received. After only a week of working there, he made everything look so easy. He was so busy sitting tables, taking orders, and carefully taking time to talk to us while explaining the menu and what makes all the dishes so magical there, all while effortlessly crafting drinks for the entire restaurant. Pictured are the Massaman curry and crab fried rice, both of which are delicious, but not pictured is the Taro pudding we had the honor of enjoying. Easily one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Thank you again Egan for making our time in Montreal so unforgettable!

Nice looking place and the staff are very attentive (maybe too attentive at times). The food was just okay for the price, could have had more depth of flavour (green curry). The beef in the beef salad was barely chewable, unfortunately. The vibe of the restaurant is beautiful and they seem to accommodate big groups.

I dont normally leave reviews because I think restaurant experiences are subjective. But I have to make an exception here. The food was bad. You will find better Thai food at the mall. The service is warm and the setting is pleasant. Management cannot be trusted. My wife had a severe allergic reaction. Its normal, it happens, I dont blame the restaurant. I asked the management to please send me a list of ingredients so that my wife could avoid the ingredients used in the dishes. They refused to give us a list of ingredients. This is unfortunately not a caring establishment.

A few weeks ago, my girl and I went out to eat at Pamika Thai. Wow, what a fantastic decision! As hospitality workers ourselves, we understand what it takes to provide good service, and the staff at Pamika Thai went above and beyond our expectations. Guillaume (the host) was incredibly polite. They welcomed us, showed us to our table, and carefully noted my requests during the reservation. Later in the evening, they returned to check in and ensure we were enjoying our experience. Egan (the mixologist) is exceptionally talented at their craft. I started with a Mai Tai and ended with a Daiquiri both were absolutely sensational! When my partner couldn t decide on a drink, Egan crafted something special from scratch to suit her palate, and she couldn t have been happier. Valerie (the expo/server) was not only friendly but also extremely professional. Despite it being a busy Friday night, they took the time to describe each dish and explain how to enjoy it to fully appreciate the flavors. To top it all off, they went out of their way to entertain me by demonstrating how they fold their napkins, which I found fascinating. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience we will definitely be back!

Came here for Mtl a la table 4 course fixed menu. Underwhelming. Came with high expectations based on popularity and price, left disappointed. Food lacked innovation, unbalanced flavors, quite mediocre but somehow still pretentious. Nowhere near the quality/experience expected for an 80 CAD menu. If given a choice, I recommend cooking at home :)

November 22, 2024

Honestly, one of the biggest rip off in Montreal. Incredibly expensive for sub-par quality at best. I went for Montreal à table, and the 80$ fixed menu felt like a scam. The quality of the food was poor, curry was not well done. Tried to upsell us every time they could. Tartares were delicious. Salads were well executed. Service was absolutely awful. Took over 30 minutes to even get acknowledged by the service staff. One of our servers was really nice, I wish I remembered his name, but he s the only reason why I am not giving 1 star to this restaurant. I do not recommend.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant in Montreal and it didnt quite meet expectations. The meal started strong with the fried shrimp and chicken skewers which were both delicious. For entrees I had the chicken pad see ew which was quite disappointing since they used normal rice noodle as opposed to wide thai noodle, some of the vegetables were undercooked, and they used a lot of soya sauce. I also had the braised beef panaeng...the curry sauce was delicious but the brisket was very dry and overcooked. Dont think I will return to the restaurant next time, considering there are many other authentic thai restaurants for half the price. But, if youre looking for a quick dinner/drink with great service and atmosphere then this would be a safe place to go.

The service is good, the restaurant is nicely decorated but the food is very mid. We ordered the tasting menu at $75 (got overcharged by a couple of dollars at the end when we checked our receipt but I digress) and were disappointed with the selection. The minced duck with cabbage leaf was underwhelming, as were the fried shrimp and fried pork on sugar canes. The grilled pork slices with sticky rice and papaya salad were bland and nothing extraordinary. The braised paneang beef and fried shrimp and fried papaya salad were enjoyable. I probably should have chosen à la carte instead of tasting menu but if this is what they are offering clients to explore and discover Thai cuisine, it is disappointing. Furthermore, we had leftovers that we got packaged up. We saw the waitress leave it on the waiters counter and walk away, only for another waiter to pile other dirty plates on top of our remaining food. The waitress came back, saw what happened and we witnessed a little back and forth exchange before they took off the top plates and willingly decided to place our now contaminated food in takeaway containers anyway. We were too appalled to say anything so we paid and left.

October 22, 2024

I had been to Pamika years ago at their previous location on Sherbrooke. After my recent visit, I came to the conclusion that the only possible explanation would be that administration must have changed. I rarely get that disappointed by a restaurant. We took the tasting menu, got served the cheapest items and ended up getting overcharged. Food was no way near authentic and drinks were way too sweet. Ambiance was passable but I felt like there was a neon light shining on my face the entire time we were there. As for service, the team seemed young and inexperienced but I witnessed something that should be cause for closing the restaurant. They took our plates away by pilling dirty plates over the remaining food, they brought it to a counter full of dirty dishes from all the other tables (because yes, that counter is in the dining room at everyone s view), pilled up other dishes from other tables on top of our leftovers and finally put our leftovers in a container for us to bring home. This happened as I was watching them, I was so appalled that I couldn t even say a word. We paid, left and tossed that leftover in the garbage. There are great Thai restaurants in Montreal, try these ones instead.

We ordered the Bangkok rolls, Crispy shrimp Pad Kra Pao, and Khao Padmanpu with drinks. Kudos to the chef on the well balanced flavors of authentic Thai food. The Pad Kra Pao was spicier than Ive had at different Thai restaurants but so many things about this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The terasse was a stunningly beautiful oasis. We were visiting Montreal so I feel so lucky to had tried such delicious Thai food. This place is worthy of all the high praise.

Don t come here if you don t wanna feel robbed and insulted! It felt like paying money to be insulted afterwards Ambience was okay, however food was way too bad! Even fast food tastes better and higher quality! Food was lacking! Drinks were way too Sweet and also lacked flavor! The seafood red curry was bland and seafood tasted rubbery and tasteless! Papaya salad was way too oily! 112$ for a salad and red curry and 2 drinks is way too expensive ! We were insulted and demeaned upon leaving the place, another waiter interfered to lecture us about the need to leave tips for the waiter, as he mentioned that his salary is basically going towards our meal, which is not true, and he kept going on about that his wage is only payed by the tips we pay, which is not even true. And he said that the waiter is paying for our meal which is also so strange to say! Wanted to give the food another chance but never again after this attitude we got!

After passing Pamika several times, we decided to try this Thai restaurant. And what a lovely surprise! We had the 6-course Chef, make me travel menu with dessert for $75. So yes, it s not necessarily an affordable price, but what a trip! Each dish was better than the last, we discovered lots of different tastes and preparations. It was hearty and so good! It starts with small shrimp skewers and beef skewers. This is followed by a fried papaya and shrimp salad. Next, a very spicy but equally excellent duck dish. To follow, a Thai red curry with beef, with a coconut curry sauce to die for. And finally, as a last course, a Thai Set Tum, with an exquisite BBQ pork shoulder! We also had cocktails, there was something for everyone and the Manaw Drop was really great! To conclude, we were treated to a Mango sticky Rice. Really good too. The service was exceptional, the waitress guided us before and throughout the meal. It is possible to modify the dishes on the menu if you cant stand the chili too much. I recommend Pamika to go on a trip for a meal.

July 22, 2024

I have gone to Pamika many times and I have always enjoyed the food this was mostly during dinner service. I wanted to treat my team to a business lunch here and hyped up the experience. However the service and food left a lot to be desired. The food took over an hour to arrive with only 2 other tables occupied in the restaurant at the same time as us, the main meals arrived in stages with over 25 minutes between three diners being served and the rest of us. So three ladies had to sit and wait for 25 minutes while the rest of us had food which we didn t want to eat out of politeness. The food when it arrived was really not what I had expected after so many good meals at Pamika. I left as did many others at my table with most of my food still on my plate. I hate to leave a mixed review but after that experience I felt the need to share. We collectively paid over $400 as a team meal and we all left hungry and frustrated.

Trendy, expensive (examples: $13 for 4 Bangkok rolls, $35 for a 200g beef stew and a bowl of rice - although the cocktails are reasonably priced), but very nicely presented and rather tasty, although not very authentic. Very friendly service, chic decor. Dishes to share that arrive at the whim of the kitchen - personally I liked the approach, it prevents you from eating too quickly. The dessert was too much, but it was worth it - a kind of nourishing taro pudding, original, the only reason I would go back. Not sorry I went, but at $60/person without alcohol, before taxes and tip, it wont be among my favorite places.

June 22, 2024

Unfortunately its not the Pamika it used to be. first when you go on the website during the day, please take a look at the menu. the Evening Menu portion shows 15$ - 20$ prices which we based our reservation on. When we got seated the menu showed 25$- 35$ prices . We even asked if its the evening menu and the answer was yes. Why not updating the website prices if many people reserve a table having an idea of the prices on the website? i find it is a trap ... the Pad Thai is 28$ if you want shrimps not 17$ as shown. The service is lacking as well, pushing you to get many plates to try even if we mentionned its not our first time and we tried many of their dishes before (old location). Also the female waitress stayed glued to the table and looks at the machine when you try to pay in privacy! which i find it is not acceptable? Bangkok rolls used to be a true gem however its exactly like the frozen ones from the supermarket. The music was radio zero ambiance like they used to play lounge music.. Save your money and go to other Thai restaurants as it is not as good anymore

The food was VERY good but the service left something to be desired. Upon arrival, there was a misunderstanding even though we had made a reservation and we were the first service of the day. In addition, the dish of the person we were celebrating arrived late because I pointed out to them that the dish had not arrived and that all the other dishes had already been finished. As an apology we supposedly offered dessert with a candle for the birthday person... but I wonder since I had urgently asked them to mark my fathers birthday at the time of booking (written on the reservation) when arriving at the restaurant. I dont understand how offering him dessert was really a PLUS to counteract their mistake of forgetting the main course.

Margari-Thai as an aperitif (with notes of coriander and cardamom) can be drunk on its own. Thanks to the friendly Émilie for her courteous service and kind attentions.

We came for the first time on Saturday, and let me just say, we were amazed by the quality of the food and the service. Our waiter, Ilenna if I recall correctly, wonderfully guided us through the menu and gave us really good advice on what to order for our first time. We are definitely coming back very soon, and I would advise more people to do the so.

We had high hopes for Pamika! Unfortunately it didn t quite hit the mark with stumbly service including our table not being ready 15 minutes past our reservation, them not having any Prosecco or champagne available for our celebration, two main dishes being out at 7 pm and our food taking about an hour and a half to arrive. With those prices you expect paper menus as well. The appetizers were tasty. The mains were alright. It s a good spot for a reliably decent Thai meal but not necessarily good for value for a spot for a celebration.

Recommended from friends so it was a must try; we came with expectations and the crew here Brought it. The Maître d took care of us personally and he was awesome. Hubby; curry w/Chicken and sticky rice was better than reg rice Me - Braised Beef Panaeng - 16 hour slow cooked beef need we say more so soft it melted in your mouth. Would have also been even better with sticky rice. Shared a Bangkok delight, this would have been amazing on a hot day, parched and in need of all the sugar. A little thick for the moment for us. A bit much for a spring day. It was delish but just not what we needed at the moment. Will def return and a must for us in Montreal my respects Pamika! Need reservations, best to reserve in advance a day or so. The vibe was awesome and super chill. Also be aware there are NO changes to the menu so I would review in advance to make sure you can eat what is offered. I forgot to take a pic of the food just know we killed it and NOTHING was left.

We are so disappointed we made an effort to get here to try this place tonight. The reviews are misleading We went and got a braised beef curry which was Luke warm and over cooked and the ginger chicken stir fry which was bland . So upset we dropped $70+ on two dishes that were lackluster . Our server was so pushy with menu items and there was another server by the door biting his nails continuously that it made our dining experience off-putting

Love this restaurant, the food is delicious, the interior decor looks very cool and has good vibes! Really recommend their Tom Yum soup! Update: went again today, and the food was significantly worst than before. The Tom yum soup was tiny, the mango sticky rice was really hard and unflavoured, and the fried rice was also not very good. They also moved location and the new spot is missing the vibe.

The food and cocktails are really great...but some people just shouldnt do service if human interaction is that much of a burden on them. The passive-aggressive mode in service makes the overall experience horrible... Fortunately another very friendly person was able to take over at our table, but we left after entering because the atmosphere was so unbearable. Sad.

Beautiful design and warm atmosphere with effective service. The food is a bit bland for Thai cuisine, but highly instagrammable, which I guess is the main selling point for the place. The crispy shrimp and the seafood salad could not elicit any flavour, but the pork lemongrass was ok. We ordered the Pad Krad Prao with fried rice, but we ended up with white rice instead, which made the dish less interesting than expected. Value for money was good and portions were generous. So we left a bit disappointed but we can understand how this restaurant can appeal to a younger crowd or to tourists.

Worst $55 I have ever spent for dinner. After coming back from Thailand and looking back on our meal here, I can say that the food here is a solid 2/10. Flavorless, bland, overcooked. The portions are also tiny for what you pay for. I paid $50 for 2 people and I was still starving after. Heres a breakdown of what I ordered Coconut chicken (1/5) -Lukewarm -Flavorless chicken bites -Tastes like pure coconut milk -Imagine microwaved chicken in coconut milk , also microwaved. Tom yum (1/5) -Also lukewarm -Hot chili pepper in the middle of the soup -But the soup wasnt spicy. Appetizers (2/5) -Springroll was okay. -Lemon grass skewers too tough -Chicken skewer was good. Just not worth $4 for one bite of chicken, man. I dont recommend this restaurant. I was mislead by the good reviews. There are so many better options in Montreal!

Made a reservation to be left waiting for 30 minutes, waiter seemed to forget about us when ordering and bringing the check. As for the food average at best small portions of pad see ew and green curry and the food arrived lukewarm and was cold within a few minutes.

Restaurant without ANY interest. Certainly the setting is nice, but the cuisine in 4 words: exorbitant; ridiculous, frozen, without any particular interest apart from extorting the naive customer. Im all for paying the price when its worth it, which is really not the case here. $17 excluding tax for 4 skewers of 3 cm each, bland and tasteless (once again frozen). Same for the $35 dish with 5 small pieces of meat and frozen sauce. You can taste much better for $15 in any unpretentious restaurant. Absolutely nothing is homemade. At this price we would still expect a culinary experience that would simply be more respectful of the customer. Restaurant made to take photos of its dishes for social networks, not for a good meal. A shame.

The restaurant is very beautiful, well decorated and the atmosphere is warm but that is only on the surface. The food (which is the most important thing in a restaurant) was lukewarm, the pas sew had a strange smell and taste, the rest of the dishes were not spicy, no taste. The waiter insists on the concept of the restaurant even though there is nothing original. Its a Thai Express that claims to be chic. Very disappointing for the quality/price ratio. In short, I wont go back and I dont recommend it.

February 22, 2024

Although, we had specifically requested to have the Tom Yum soup prior to our main course which also, this is what the female waitress had suggested, when the bartender had unexpectedly brought over our main course (Chicken with Cashew) before the soupe, the male waiter (bartender) had spoken unprofessional stating this is what the kitchen had prepared and when he took back the dish, the female waitress had advised us that theyll prepare us a new plate but that wasnt the case as we both had a severe stomach ache as the temperature of the Chicken wasnt hot and neither was the Tom Yum soupe (with basa fish)...The lack of communication between kitchen and evening staff wasnt customer service oriented and disappointedly unprofessional. Atmosphere is beautiful but thats about it ~ Our dishes were not of much flavour and lukewarm dishes were unexpected ~ Poor customer service took place on Sunday, January 28th at 6:30pm ~

Me and my partner had the pleasure to be served by the director of the restaurant. We ordered 1 drink each and the tasting menu(called something else). The starting bites were delicious, the duck entree was a miss for the both of us, barely rescued by us asking for the dipping sauce of the first course. The red curry beef was incredibly good with a rich and creamy sauce, spiced just right Then there was a shrimp with fried and crispy strings of some starch that were absolutely lovely. To continue, we had grilled beef cooked in a lovely marinade with a papaya salad and sticky rice. Finally the dessert was rather plain macarons with a pretty image. I had a pint of beer, and my partner who had 2.5 ounces of wine paid 1 dollar less than me. It felt too little. Overall we enjoyed our experience; the service was stellar although the food came a little too fast, the atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful. Its a little expensive for what it is, but if you can afford it youll enjoy it

February 22, 2024

Gorgeous place, mediocre food, poor & pretentious service. The truth is that the venue is very nice, and its evident that theyve spent a lot of money on the decoration, but I wish they could be a bit more present both in the kitchen and in the dining area. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty, they took their time just to bring water. Then they got our drink orders wrong, and later brought all the food at once, almost dumping the plates on the table, with no harmony or sense whatsoever. Additionally, they gave us four bowls per person, plus the soup spoon, plus the cutlery, plus the respect plate, plus extra glasses, plus the lamp... at one point we had to straighten things out and ask the waiter to take away all that nonsense, which didnt allow us to move freely around the table or enjoy our dinner. On top of that, one of the waiters that was dumping plates on our table dare to lecture us on how the chef recommended to eat the curry The skewers labeled as wagyu? What a rip-off of dry meat, on an immense burner considering the portion of food being served. The seafood in the Tom Yum soup as well as the chicken in the green curry were both dry, kinda rubbery and flavorless. The red curry was good though. To top it off, the manager had the audacity to make a stupid joke about who would do the dishes (me being the customer), using the excuse that they didnt have a dishwasher that night and that s why the kitchen was kind of swamped. The service, young and inexperienced, was evident in their way of attending to the table, or rather not attending to it. I understand that times are tough and professional staff is scarce, but I feel that the prices should also justify the quality of the staff and the food, not just the decor. I wont be returning.

Between dry lemongrass pork and lack of seasoning. Pad thai with dry chicken. Tasty green curry but with very few vegetables. There was only eggplant, no other typical vegetables.

The quality of the dishes does not at all justify the price paid.

Sadly, not at all like the old location. The food is really nothing special. The decor is stunning and the service is ok but if you re looking for authentic Thai cuisine, unfortunately the new Pamika is not your place. The fried calamari entree is overpriced and has nothing Thai about it, the pad Thai tastes very close to what you get at Thai express and although the panaeng curry was the best thing we ordered, it really lacked flavour and depth. So disappointing because the old location was amazing.

I celebrated my 29th birthday at Pamika on St-Laurent, and I couldnt be happier. I had made a reservation for 15 people, and the staff made sure to tend to our needs. My family and friends were there, which included age 25 to 65, and everyone felt happy and respected. Our waiter, Sam, was beyond expectations : patient, proactive, informative, sociable, and discreet. The food was absolutely delicious. Ive been to Thailand myself, and the meals were the closest Ive had in Montreal. I strongly recommend the beef salad and the phanaeng curry. There was a wide variety of cocktails, exotic and for all tastes. The atmosphere was beautiful with authentic decorations. Overall, I had a warm welcome for my birthday and I would go back anytime for special evenings with friends.
