Not sure where the Thai food comes into play 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)
Reviews / Ratings for Pichai - Restaurant Thai
Everything about this restaurant was exceptional, from the food to the vibes to the service. We had: - 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!
The food was great and we enjoyed the flavors. We asked for the chef’s choice, which was 70$ on the menu. We were two people and were served 5 dishes total. At first, we thought this was reasonable at $70 (each dish averages 17-22$), but it was not explained that this price was per person, not for the table. That meant $70 each for essentially 2.5 dishes per person. With two drinks and tip, the bill came to over $200. What was frustrating is that the dishes served were standard menu items and not larger or special portions. Doing the math afterward, it would have been cheaper to order the same dishes individually and share them. When we brought this up, the waitress explained that the chef’s choice costs more because it’s a “curated experience,” even though the selections were identical to the regular menu. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, but it was disappointing to pay significantly more for the same dishes without the pricing being clearly explained upfront.
Upscale Thai food with fantastic ingredients and execution. We love the spice here and the uniqueness of each dish!
Cozy and cute ambiance. The service was great and food was also pretty good. I think my expectations might have been a little high cause I heard great things and LOVE Thai. Favourite was the Tuna! Not a huge fan of the chicken and dumpling balls were interesting / original, which I liked. No Padthai and a few traditional foods you’d expect to see on the menu just FYI
Great place!! The plates are original and the food is really tasty.
The food tasted like the one I had in Thailand, terrific. We had the beef tartare, the curry of the day and the papaya salad. Incredible 😱 I will return for sure.
A pleasant discovery. Everything was tasty, service was great and the cocktails delicious.
#25 of Canada top 100, and the only Thai fashion cuisine. 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
