Ordered takeout for the first time: Chicken Pad Thai, Bangkok Chicken, Thai soup & Amiral Tao. The only thing that is eatable are the soups & the Amiral Tao. The Pad Thai is bland, tastes like pasta, with next to no chicken. The Bangkok Chicken smelled weird, like the farm & the taste was just not there. The Amiral chicken was tasty as well as the Thai soup. I'm not sure I'd give this place a second try.

One of my personal favourites, we have been eating there since it opened. If you are looking for a great general tao chicken look no further also the peanut stir fry is absolutely to die for. Small local family owned and operated definitely tecommend

Good deals for lunch and supper. The place is busy so it's a good idea to reserve and bring your own wine. Fast service after you order, the special includes an entrée, soup, main meal, dessert and coffee.

The food was great, especialy the pad thai, but if you dislike spicy stuff you better follow the menu indications. Service was impeccable, water refilled on-time and the restaurant never felt overcrowded during our visit, making it more enjoyable. Due to its localisation, during winter, there is a certain lack of parking spot in comparizon to the restaurant seats quantity. Parking at the nearest shop didn't seem to cause any trouble.

Excellent service. Chantal recognizes you by name even after several years of absence. It is with pleasure that we find her in Saint-Jean after the restaurant in Varennes closed. The food is always excellent and full of flavor. Dont forget to book in advance, because the restaurant is very busy. The 45 minute drive to get there was definitely worth it.

I took soup meal number 20, I found that it was missing the typical Thai ingredients like basil or coriander, I would have liked to see vegetables either bockoy or sprouted beans and the broth was not tasty. I would have been willing to pay more but with more flavors. The service is fast and welcoming.

April 23, 2024

We waited at the table for 45 minutes without a single person coming to see us. At one point, we said could we order with you from a waitress (zero impatiently by the way) the waitress spoke to us so stupid and loud telling us that they are just two waitresses.. we said got up and left... the worst experience weve had and we dont plan to return!

April 23, 2024

Ill be quick, I waited 45 minutes before I asked my waitress if I could order, she responded as if I was the problem, aggressive and unpleasant attitude. Worst experience of my life

April 23, 2024

Its terrible! A very directive welcome. Too expensive for the meal. It wasn t very good, even disgusting . Ramen noodles with fondue meat and very bland broth. What more can I say, absolutely nothing. Its no!

If I could put zero I would! We had a reservation for a group. At 17 oclock. We ordered around 5:30 p.m. The soups and starters arrived by the snack count. 3 at a time around. In a group of 30 thats a long time to serve everyone. She brought 3 soups/starter, left and came back with more 15 minutes later. Plus the soup was lukewarm and cold. Then after time passes... passes... passes... the restaurant fills up. All the tables are served so they arrived after us. We were there at the opening When 7:22 p.m. arrives, I ask the waitress if its still going to be very long because weve been there for a good 2 hours and 20 minutes and people have still received their meal. She told me that the boss wanted to serve all the small tables first. And its going to be our turn now. I stayed on my toes! I tell him, let s see! Weve been here for 5 hours! Weve been here for 2 and a half hours. There are children waiting. She looks at me and gives me a face like what do you want, Ill face it. She will serve other tables for several more minutes. My father and my brother were ready to leave without eating. We finally received our plates around 7:45 p.m. Cold! All that for cold vermicelli! General super basic tao without vegetables nothing at all nada! Fried balls with VH sauce and cold vermicelli! It was one of the worst restaurant experiences in a long time! I have the best service and the best meal in the bines cuddly scores! For an intimate restaurant I had a lot more expectations. Plus the restaurant doesnt look like it has seen a lick of paint in 10 years. Who opens a restaurant without even straightening a crooked 45° frame right in front of the cash register? It takes 5 seconds to do. But time management doesnt seem to be a strong point. Word of the evening disappointment to bring. Because we all brought our desserts to the finished plates we paid for everything and part of it. Phew management to review.

We love this little Thai-Cambodian style restaurant. The decor is dated...But it also transports you into this typically Asian atmosphere. Everything is always extremely fresh and tasty. Not greasy, really very good. It s a BYOB. Really very affordable. You can also order online or by calling to have your order prepared. No delivery. Weekends are often full. Plan in advance. The staff is really friendly but sometimes the service is a little slow when there are a lot of people. They may be short of staff so be patient... Its not a fast food restaurant... if you want to eat quickly go to McDonalds. The owner has difficulty expressing himself in French, you really have to listen carefully to what he says, but if you pay attention you will understand each other.

Good But half the plate containing bamboo shoots The pad thai was not satisfactory (have I never seen a pad thai served with a sauce in my life?!?!?)
