Pick Thai

I was first impressed by the beautiful decor with Thai cultural artifacts when stepped inside. Then everything went downhill from there. The waitstaff were helpful but clearly novices in table service. My beer was served with a glass but not poured. My appetizer arrived long before my wife's, and then I had to wait a significant time for my main dish after she received hers. The food was decent but overpriced for its quality and lacked the authenticity of true Thai cuisine. The most annoying part was the cramped tables that obstructed aisle, customers and waitstaff repeatedly had to ask me to scoot in.

I went yesterday with my girlfriend, and the service was incredible! From the moment we arrived until the very end, the staff was attentive and friendly. Always there if we needed anything. We started with two appetizers: the imperial rolls (9/10) and the satay kai (8/10). Both were fresh and full of flavor. We also had the Yam Mamuang salad, easily a 9.5/10. The flavors just hit you in the best way! For the main course, we shared two dishes, including the Koong Poa 9.5/10, and Red Panaeng Curry 10/10 which was exquisite. And for dessert… hands down the best fried banana 10/10 I’ve had in Montreal! We finished with the Kao Niew Mamuang 9/10 (mango with coconut sticky rice), and it was simply delicious. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

The food was exceptionally good. Amazing flavors but not too sweet or too salty. The shrimp pad Thai is highly recommended. Service was a bit slow as the restaurant was quiet busy. But overall good experience, will be going back.

Good Thai place in Montreal. Cury was tasty and Pad Kimao with beef very good. The beef was grilled and tender. Nice restaurant as well for the atmosphere. Husband and I enjoyed it !

I eat there a few times a year. The dining room is really beautiful and eclectic yet comfortable and not overly done. The service was efficient and discreet and definitely caring and timely. But all this would be wasted on poor quality food. Every time I visit the place, the food is always delicious. And tonight was even better than usual. The owner/cook/chef came to visit our table. I was impressed ! What a great experience !

Took the table d’hote. The appetizer plate was amazing. The pad thai was too sweet for my liking. Was disappointed that no dessert comes with the table d’hote just tea at the end. Restaurant’s decoration is very nice.

Authentic Thai food. The taste is very rich. Cozy and great ambiance. I come here so often that I already tested all their lunch menu and all were good! I always chose mango salad as appetizers and they’re the best! The staffs are friendly. A bit pricey but worth the experience! Our serveuse, Sarah, was excellent:friendly and helpful.

I am delighted to give a 5/5 review for Pick Thai restaurant. I went with a few nursing co-workers for my last day & I really enjoyed the meal. I had the mango salad and Pad Kimao (Beef) and it was delicious!!! Consequently, I had major allergic reaction to something and Kevin the owner went above and beyond to help me after the event to figure out what I reacted to. I would like to thank Kevin soo much for his patience and honesty! :) Turns out I am allergic to mangoes. I am deeply saddened as I LOVE mangoes but at least now I know and I can still enjoy other delicious meals on their menu 💗💗💗

Great food. Price isn't cheap but nothing is nowadays. Services was just fine. Deserves way more than the 3.7 average I saw as I write this.

Went a few weeks ago. Service was ok but my cashew chicken was lousy. I was there a fewbyears ago and it was great. I dunno what happened!

Good authentic Thai food. Had shrimp fried rice. Tom yum soup with shrimp, and pad Thai noodles. Tom Yum soup was a bit disappointing, but the rest of the food was very delicious. The server was attentive and friendly. Ambiance was nice.

Came here with coworkers for a going away lunch. The place is very well decorated and quite big. We were a table of 7 and all ordered from the lunch menu which includes either spring rolls or a mango salad (for an extra 2$). I opted for the spring rolls which were very crispy but very oily. The plum sauce was also very very sweet. Not many people liked it. On the contrary, most people who took the mango salad liked it. They mentioned that it has coriander and a fresh taste. I had the green curry with chicken which was very flavorful. A little bit too sweet for me but the quantity of chicken and vegetables is good. One thing i disliked is that when we were paying, the waitress took my card out of my hands and tapped it on the machine herself. Which i find kinda rude. Other than that, the service was good.

I always wanted to try this place; today my mom and I are walking by, and we decided to go there for lunch. Nice greetings from our host. I was awed by the restaurant's decor. Lots of statues of Buddhas, in gold in every corner. I never described such things in my review, I love the design of their water glass. It's a tall glass, called Vizner. We were served with Lemon water, very refreshing. We ordered from the lunch menu, we had mango salad and vegetable spring rolls with plum sauce. The taste was flawless. Then my mom got the shrimp pad Thai and I got Chicken fried rice. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. We ended our meal with nice cup of coffee. This place is beautifully decorated. The service is amiable and quick. The savor of the food was amazing. A perfect place for lunch and supper. My mom believes that this restaurant is perfect spot to host a small wedding or any other celebration

I'm a fan of Pick Thai. I've been twice, and both times enjoyed their table d'hote menu. It's really worth it! The last time I visited, I ordered the chicken pad thai table d'hote, which came with 2 appetizers before the main! I always get 1/2 the main to go since the appetizers are delicious and worth filling up on. With this menu, you get a mango salad and a spring vegetable roll. This is followed by a tom yum soup (on the spicy side), and 3 fried appetizers. Yummy everything tastes amazing!! The restaurant is very pretty with a chill ambiance. Perfect for date night or a quiet conversation. The waitress was a little slow and made weird comments which wasn't great hence I docked off 1 star. I would return!

Edit: Returned here twice and I was being too critical to dish out the two stars. The complaints still stand, yes. Is it food court food at restaurant pricing? yes. However, their pad thai and mango salad is quite excellent and I would recommend anyone to get just those items. To mitigate the blandness of the dishes, the hot sauce that they provide really helps the food shine. Previous review: Decor is impressive. But that's the only thing that's impressive. :( Got the pad lanaa, was basically a bed of buffet soup garnish noodles topped with a mix of vegetables that they use for every dish. My friend got the green curry, and the vegetables were the same. Evidently, they don't put much passion in their food. Overall, food was sub par but if you needed to eat... it shouldn't be a problem. I guess maybe I just came here with high expectations. Also, lunchtime service was slow, but courteous.

One of the top thai restaurants I've been to. They accommodated a chef tasting . Everything was outstanding from appetizers through multiple tastings- well executed well presented . Dead on from a Thai perspective- heat, flavor, variety. Picked as a result of both yelp and trip advisor - both were dead on. If you're looking for original Thai in Montreal this is the place. Literally right across from the metro. Do it ......

We ordered a bunch of dishes for take out and we ate at home. We had a great variety of appetizers, mains, curries, and of course, pad Thai. I noticed a lot of the dishes did have the same veggies on repeat. The green curry included lychees which I found quite interesting. Good flavours. The mango salad was pretty solid. The mains were decently portioned and they use good sized prawns. The fresh rolls were individually wrapped in plastic and so they retained moisture which was nice. Not a fan of the noodles. They were too clumpy. I didn't realize the prices are actually quite steep! It was a satisfying dinner but I'm sure better value can be found. I'd recommend a non-noodle dish for sure.

I literally have ZERO complaints! A hidden gem! Decor and ambiance is very zen to add to the delicious food. Food was great, very fresh and full of flavor! Service was great, not too fast or too slow, they were busy but didn't feel rushed or forgotten about.

I took the opportunity of having to plan a friend's birthday dinner in NDG to finally get to try Pick Thai. I reserved via Yelp message and was replied to within minutes, which is so reassuring when you're booking for a group. Our group ordered a couple different dishes to share - the mango salad was to die for, and the imperial rolls were fresh and light to start. The gluten free pad thai was delish, loved the flavours, to me they were just as they should be, tart and yummy and the tofu and egg were well cooked. My friends loved the peanut chicken, and chicken green curry - I tasted the sauces and enjoyed for sure - and we all enjoyed the veggie pad sieu. We felt healthy and well fed and well cared for by the end, and the lovely room was perfect for a birthday. Service was warm, prompt, kind, and impeccably timed without being hurried. Loved it and most importantly so did the birthday girl!

We absolutely loved our supper at Pick Thai. The ambience was really nice and cozy and the service was excellent. The food came quickly and they checked in on us a couple of times to see if everything was too our liking. We ordered #1,3 and 4 from the appetizers. The spring rolls, fried shrimp and little chicken rolls were delicious!! We also ordered the mango salad which was really light and refreshing! We then shared the chicken green curry which was just spicy enough and the shrimp pad Thai, which was excellent! They were very generous with the shrimp. We didn't find the portions small like some reviews said. The portions are made so that you can try different dishes. Overall we loved our experience and will definitely come back!

Boring. That's the best word to describe the food here. Tastes nothing the way Thai food should. No personality, no brightness, a complete lack of the complex symphony of flavour the cuisine is known for. Don't get me wrong; nothing tasted bad, but it was just totally lacking. If you've ever spent time in Thailand, you will walk away very disappointed...and a lot poorer. Way overpriced, especially considering the quality of the food. We were asked how we'd like one particular dish, and we emphasized we wanted it hot. Completely bland. Fail. Go to Pamika instead.

Food is mediocre. There is a $10 per person sharing charge which I personally find absurd. Our server seemed unexperienced and seemed annoyed when we asked about checking for peanuts because I am allergic. Overall it is okay but I find there are better places.

Delicious authentic Thai food. Lots of variety in the menu and really fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out!

Very disappointing. The portion sizes are small and very overpriced. We ordered take out and the person taking our order was rude and dismissive, as was the person at the restaurant we picked up from. When we got home, we realized they forgot to include a dish we ordered and were charged for. I called and they said they were too busy to deal with it and would call me back. Overall terrible service and value. Many other much better options nearby.

Finally visited Pick Thaï in NDG and I'm glad I did. The food was yummy, their lunch menu was reasonably priced, the service was good, and I loved the decor of the place. Very lovely ambiance with lots of space and good lighting for a much or dinner. The owner was also lovely and invited our group of 7 for their Christmas event. We might take them up on that offer. The location is also convenient, right across from the metro.

Food portions (Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao)were all over the place, too many veggies:noodle portion. Chicken was too dry. Egg rolls were good. Soup was good. 2/5 experience.

Fancy decoration but kind of cold for me .. food is good but not wow, good service and no chopsticks and no free tea....

Average Thai food, good portion sizes for fried noodles or rice. The curry dishes, the portion of rice is the size of a fist or less. You are left with the the curry to drink up as a soup or to take home. The pricing for these portion sizes is rather expensive pricing. If you share your food they will charge $7 as an additional charge. They are at a great location right across the MUHC hospital so its convenient to grab some Thai food for lunch. The ambience and service is great.

The food is good and the portion is generous. I recommend to everyone. One of the best choice for Thai food in Montreal. I recommend to ordering the tasting menu. Beware, you won't finish your meal. Two salads and appetizers plus soup are a lot (the tom yum soup was delicious!). I could not finish my main dish.

Great place and excellent food and service. Diverse menu and staff can lead you towards what is popular and tasty. Well done!

The price is a little expensive, but their food is very tasty. I wanted to find a Thai restaurant who have curry crab on that day, but they don't have. So I tried one dish with fried shrimp and my husband had salmon. They add some Thai spices, which made the food very tasty. And their amount of dish is just good, which is perfect for dinner.

I went here for a family dinner last Saturday night about ten people and everyone loved their food. They offered us a special for $35 per person and they brought out many gorgeous dishes for us to share including spring rolls and soup. My favourite was the crunchy noodles with vegetables and the tofu curry. Everything was amazing though. The decor was modern and the atmosphere cozy. It wasn't too loud which was so nice because we didn't have to yell to talk to each other. It's probably because it wasn't too crowded but also because the rooms are divided in two and the acoustics are good.

The quality of the food here varies per dish. Their Pad Thai really might be the best in the city (the only reason it's not getting less stars) but everything else is just good/OK and not worth the price. On top of that, the service is awkward and lacklustre. I think they had one man working the kitchens on the night we dined there because our orders came out 5 minutes apart... and we were a group of 6. That meant that some of us sat with untouched food in front of us and got to watch it go cold for 20-30 minutes. Perhaps it's better worth your time (and money) to go at lunch when they have a table d'hote special.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Montreal. Every dish is flavorful and the employees provide great service.

Relatively bland for Thai food. They charged $5 to add shrimp to our Pad Thai, but only 3 shrimp were added to the dish. Only one small portion of rice was included with our large takeout order. I will not order from them again.

This my favourite restaurant! I am retired from the UN and I travelled a lot and visited many restaurants during my long career of 25 years. I am sensitive to the quality of food and exotic ambiance! Particularly Asian food. I highly recommend the restaurant to gourmet and people with developed taste buds. The menu is affordable taking into account the quality and generosity of the portions served with respect and honesty! People addicted to MacDonald's or cafeteria food will not find at Pick Thai what they might be looking for. Variety is the spice of life. In my opinion, and when I look for extraordinary taste buds experience, I like to indulge myself with more than salt and pepper!

Pick Thai is absolutely the best!! This chef knows what she is doing. This is my favourite food ever! Green curry. This is 100 percent; without a doubt; hands down ... the best of the best Thai food in this city ... in this province ... in the entire Occident. You'd have to go so far West, young man, that you will have had reached the East once again. You'd have to travel far and wide to get close to the excellence and authenticity of this Thai green curry. Ask to speak to the boss lady ... ask her to make you the same vegetarian Thai green curry that she makes for Raj ... that's me. My green curry is especially made for me and it is 100% strictly vegetarian. You won't find this elsewhere. Voilà, the sublime excellence, nuance and harmony of Thai flavour. Have you heard of the King of Siam? Well this is the story of the King and I ... whilst monarchic tradition and hegemony, in my humble opinion, begets a most anachronistic and antiquated and deleterious convention of social inequity, popular subservience, enslavement of the intellect, royal incest and unwarranted elitist hegemony ... notwithstanding all that ... sometimes the people just want you to rule them with an iron fisted donkey punch to the kidneys. Does it make sense that people would disregard their seething sectarian hatred for one another in order to unite in love, harmony and servility - all the way down in the dirt - beneath some arbitrary monarch? They barely have food and water but what they really need is pomp and circumstance and royal pageantry. So, basically, take a country where there is a lot of civil unrest based on ethnic, linguistic and / or religious differences and just establish a monarchy. That should solve all the problems in the entire world. Yes, indeed, the penultimate solution is to unify people with all of their hatred for one another by somehow galvanising their allegiance and support and loyalty in one lofty, unelected, unaccountable and arbitrary megalomaniac of a person, in relation to whom, they should all feel inferior. They would need to obey and love this monarch who would tell them all what they can and cannot do and how and how not to think. C'mon Rama IX, that is a bit amateurish ... not very fly for a Thai guy. I love you, Red Shirts! SOCIALISM! Monarchism precipitates the need for the subjects being ruled over; to, in effect, maintain an individual and societal state of suspended disbelief. Disbelief in the primacy of the individual in relation to the welfare of society, disbelief in one's individual agency and authority, disbelief in the equality of all people and disbelief in good governance, true democracy, accountability and transparency. Monarchism perpetuates old anachronisms such as the concept of race and the idea that one ethnicity can be superior to another ethnicity and therefore those born to this royal family or that royal family are naturally born to rule over the obviously inferior masses. It perpetuates classism; in our modern society one should not be expected to defer to another or hold another above oneself simply because of birth. It perpetuates discrimination based bullshit; most of us cannot become King or Queen of Canada. It also perpetuates discrimination based on gender in the case of male primogeniture. Fuck that shit! I'm all about the VOX POPULI!! Let's hear it for equality, folks. Monarchy makes it impossible to separate church & state as the monarch is usually both head of state and head of the church. Sometimes the monarch is a god or demigod. Isn't Queen Elisabeth like Jesus' second cousin or something? Wait would that make her also her own father? Talk about incest! The Emperor of Japan is like a Shinto God. The King of Thailand is like an incarnation of the Hindu avatar Rama! What? Monarchism is also problematic for the monarchs themselves what with all the incest and hemophilia. They also have a hard time (poor little rich kid) growing up, what with the dysfunctional household and obvious abnormal childhood. Monarchism is also very expensive and modern monarchy remains unaccountable to taxpayers. Britons pay over £100 million per annum and that number may not even be the "real McCoy" as the finances are exempt from the Access to Information Act. Canada spends about 250$ million each year; not including our annual gifting to the crown of twenty purebred horses from the RCMP. Each horse costs about a cool 20 million each. As long as people remain subjects of a monarch and not citizens of a republic their political and social attitudes will inevitably retain a certain mediaeval idiocy which has no place in modernity. Ultimately, monarchy (the monarch, monarchism and the institution) makes the country which they rule over appear backwards and ill suited for a just society that ostensibly is conducive to a secular, multicultural, and multilingual civil state. Off with their figurative heads. Get it? Figure head? Go figure ... it's all about the economy, stupid

Outstanding food and service! Beautiful and cozy decor! This restaurant was recommended last year by a colleague of mine and I'm so happy that I finally visited. Absolutely must try! I would start with the salads, oh the salads! The papaya and green mango salads are delicious and of very good size! I got scared by the statement of our host that the hot version of the papaya salad is burning and ordered it mild, fortunately it was still hot enough to be considered authentic. The dried shrimp added an extra flavour I'm still dreaming about. The mains can be ordered with vegetables or different choices of meat and fish. The Pad Thai was delicious, it is served with a small set of soya sauce, authentic red chilly paste and ground peanuts, so you can flavour it up to your taste. I had the creamy green curry with scallops, it was so good that I ate some of the creamy sauce with my spoon, I could have easily chosen the vegetarian version of the dish as it was really filling. The very classical Thai dessert coconut sticky rice with mango is served with wild black rice, another point for the chef. I'm also impressed with the wine list. I have to admit I did not spend too much time to look at the reds, because the whites were so well chosen to match the food, selection of reislings, gewürztraminer etc. The owners have invested time in perfect wine paring options for their customers. My dinner visit was on Easter Sunday and the restaurant was not packed at all. I made a reservation using the Yelp booking service for the first time and I guess it is better to book in advance just in case. With or without a reservation I'm coming back for more coconut curry! Yum!

Best resto of Mtl! No kidding the food is more than delicious! The costumer service... AMASING! #BESTThaï essayez-le! La deco est magnifique et très chaleureuse tout comme la proprio ^^

My suggestion is to take the Pad Thai. It'll be enough food. The curries are for people who eat like birds unless you order 4 bowls of rice and 2 appetizers. I don't go here as often but it is nice to come here for dinner, moreso than lunch. Lunch, you can only order from a sheet of paper, not from the full menu.

We were looking forward to trying Pick Thai after hearing positive reviews. However, when we showed up at 5:45 pm, the host simply told us that we had no reservation. He refused to check the reservation list to see what happened and was not apologetic. Even after showing him that a call was made, he simply said he wouldn't seat us. The restaurant was basically empty at that time. This caused my friends and I to have to search for another restaurant last minute and was quite frustrating. When I called, I was told my reservation was confirmed. Clearly, this restaurant is not interested in customer service and is just relying on the success of a high profile review. I'd "pick" another Thai restaurant. Update (4/23): The owner of the restaurant reached out to me very quickly after this review was posted. She was very apologetic and willing to re-accommodate us. I'll post an updated review after our return.

We went for lunch today. We were seated in room with a fan. I guess their air conditioner must have stopped working. It was a hot humid day and it was stifling in the dining room. It was super noisy. The food is expensive for the portions and truly just average for Thai restaurants in the city. Not worth it.

This is my new favorite restaurant. The food was excellent! Authentic Thai. I highly recommend this place.

Came here twice for lunch and both times left pretty impressed. Although their portions are small, Pick Thai has a nice lunch menu with delicious curries and stir fries. Their desserts are also on point, but the best thing on the menu? Hands down, it's their mango salad. I could just eat 28 bowls of that stuff on it's own. So flavorful and packed with amazingness, I'd give the restaurant all the stars I could just for the salad. But alas, it only comes in a small portion and is gone before you know it! Docked a star for their smaller portions but totally delicious place that I'd love to check out for dinner one day!

Went here halloween and so glad we did. You can't tell by looking at the building from outside but they put allot of work into the decor, you feel sheltered from the city. The food was very good, really enjoyed the shrimp red curry and chicken pad thai.

Decent food but terrible service! I waited 20 mins to get a menu. I went alone and the server asked me to go sit by the window when everyone else were escorted with a menu. I had to wait for a menu. Food wasn't hot, it was warm, it lacks flavor.

First time here. I heard good things so tried it out. Overall unimpressed. Food was good, although portions are on the small side and my dish was missing an important ingredient the menu said it would have. But it had taken so long to arrive, I wasn't going to mention it. Although, even if I had wanted to complain, I couldn't have. Our waitress ignored us after dropping off the dishes. Never came by to ask how everything was, never filled our glasses, never offered us dessert, never even gave us the bill... we had to go ask for it. The decor is nice but, unfortunately I'm not likely to return. For the prices they charge, I expect good service... at very least decent service. This was non-existent service.

The menu states what items can be gluten-free. awesome! I ordered a "gluten-free" noodle dish and then spent all night throwing up. I don't think it was gluten-free. Really a shame because the restaurant is beautiful (classy and comfortable - not too "fancy" and not tacky) and I really liked the food (on the way down, not on the way up). Please be careful here if you have dietary restrictions.

We finally tried after reading LC's great review and did not disappoint. Lovely decor and attentive service. Food is very tasty and fresh. Best dishes we had were: eggplant salad, filet mignon salad, green curry. Nice selection of appetizers - rolls, satays, fried salmon bites - which the kids really enjoyed. Pad Thai was also quite lovely. Will be back!

I can't believe this restaurant is not famous. Amazing place for freinds, family and business as well. Here has a luxurious-oriental atmosphere with a reasonable price. My favorite dish is the eggplant salad. U should try it! :))

Hard to rate since I've never had their food but I do have to mention an unfortunate experience. My son who is 20 yrs old and I entered Pick Thaï winter of 2018 looking for take out. The male waiter who, I can't quite say greeted us, was very rude. We sat to look at the menu and the waiter kept giving us looks that I deemed as snobby. We were both well dressed, polite and curious yet we were treated astonishing poorly by this one man. I have 30+ years experience working in high end restaurants and front of house staff set the tone for diner's experience. The reviews of the food on Yelp is encouraging but I do hope this particular waiter is no longer employed there. I'm looking forward to enjoying Pick Thaï's food in the future with a more welcoming greeting.

I'm so impressed with Pick Thai! The best Pad Thai I've ever had, ever! Everything is so fresh and you can taste the quality ingredients. Have the dessert before you leave, the banana fritters and the Thai pancake are to die for!! Even people who don't really like dessert are going to LOVE their desserts. It's a little expensive but it's worth every penny!!

Excellent food and ambience!! My favourite Thai restaurant ever!! And the take out is great too.

This place is further out from the main area in Montreal, but it's pretty good Thai food. The restaurant is very nice with excellent decor, makes it a somewhat classy meal (depending on who you're with!) The portions were big - between four girls we had an appetizer and two entrees and we all were full. It is on the pricier side, but that might be because Thai food in NY is always on the cheaper side. Anyway, if you're looking for thai in this area, I'd definitely go to this place.

What can I say, the food at this place is literally amazing. From the free filtered lemon water to the vegetables that taste so fresh you imagine they were just picked out of the garden this is the best Thai place, hands down, in Montreal. The service is great, the ambiance is gorgeous, and the food is superb. Luckily it's walking distance from my house because the only drawback is the parking lot which is small and badly designed. But who cares we're here for the food right? Amazing.

The food was extremely tasty - but the service was unacceptably slow. It took 1.5 hours for the appetizers to begin to come out, and other plans we had for the evening had to be cancelled. Not sure we'll be back despite the excellence of the food.
