Authentic Thai Cuisine at Pichai – Montréal’s Hidden Gem
Reviews
– Beef tartare (seasoned perfectly and served with sticky rice and endives to make little wraps)
– Papaya salad (so fresh and exactly what you would expect)
– Tom Yum soup, which was one of the specials (high quality, imported seafood all cooked to tender perfection in a savoury broth that warmed us to the core)
– Tiramisu (the Thai tea flavour really shone through and it was delicious, but a tad on the sweet side. Loved the addition of coconut chips on top which added texture).
My only minor issue was the quantity of cilantro on everything, though I know this is a personal preference. The soup was also served in a vessel that was very cool (central flame to keep it warm), but felt a bit impractical for serving the soup since the ladle barely fit inside it.
There was a lovely selection of natural wines to complement the meal.
Overall, really nice ambiance and great flavours, you can tell a lot of love goes into these dishes. Would definitely return!
one thing to note we got served the sticky rice with the pork belly so we thought it came with that dish and ate it all just w that but later realized it was just a sticky rice for the table :p shoulda kept some for the other dishes
I came here with a friend after seeing it promoted on social media as one of Canada’s top restaurant menus. We arrived with high expectations, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to the hype.
First of all, every dish was overly salty. The seasoning was so heavy that we couldn’t taste the flavors of the meat. All the meats tasted very similar because the seasoning overpowered everything. Even the tom yum soup was excessively salty.
The portion sizes were relatively small as the staff suggested. However, despite the small portions, I couldn’t even finish my meal because it was simply too salty to continue eating, I had to drink so many water after every bite.
The sticky rice that came with the dish was cold and hard, as if it had been sitting out for a long time.
Service was average. The staff did briefly introduce the dishes when serving them, which I appreciated. However, no napkins were provided throughout the meal, and we only received them after asking at the very end. They didn’t check on us during the meal time, the water ran out and then I stopped eating (I really can’t eat more without my water because they are way too salty ). The chef should definitely try what they are cooking.
Overall, this experience was not pleasant and it will be my last time here.
It is a great date night destination, the dim lighting, the music, the bar, it increases your appetite and chance.
But the dim lighting makes it difficult to see the menu and the food lol
For cilantro haters, in French speaking cities, they go by coriander!
I asked them to try removed cilantro from the dishes (I was probably asking too much since I was at a Thai restaurant) and they didn’t remove any! Or maybe they did, but it was still mountain portion of cilantro in every dish.
That said, great place
We started off with the scallops which were a solid 8.5/10 but everything fell apart shortly after.
The tartare and the pork jowl were okay (maybe a 6/10 but the rice that it came with felt like cement rather than sticky rice)… the food was also way too salty
The duck dish and the noodle dish however were both irredeemably disgusting. Incredibly oily, bland and the meat feeling like the texture of pet food.
We were expecting a lot more from this restaurant based on the reviews we saw online.
Thai food is usually fragrant, spicy and delicious and honestly this joint should be shut down by the Thai embassy. (False advertisement)
