The vibe was really enjoyable here. The music was at a good level, there were so many people making the place lively but just enough that you don't have to wait too long before getting a seat. The service was nice and friendly but sometimes it would take quite a long time before you manage to catch the attention of a waiter. The food itself was enjoyable. We have mixed feelings because we really really enjoyed the flavours of the tapioca dumplings but on the other hand, the papaya salad was not our cup of tea. The dumplings were bursting with good flavours and the lettuce had a nice texture variation from the soft and chewy tapioca. The meat paired well with the vegetable and the flavours were in harmony. On the other hand, we have the papaya salad that had raw green beans that did not taste good and the overall flavour profile was just sour, and in the occasional bites, there would be a very spicy note. It was really not enjoyable to us. But the overall we had a pretty fun time dining here!

Great food 2 out of 3 plates were excellent, great vibe, ok service Terrible Cocktails one was sad the other was just not drinkable. Sticky rice was hard and cold felt like it was from the day before.

I have to say this experience was far below my expectations. 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.

We ordered three dishes, pork ,duck salad and Tom yum soup, and they were either too salty or too sour. All of them had a very strong, overpowering spice flavor. I’ve had many other Thai meals before, but the seasoning here is very unbalanced. The lighting at our table was also very poor — it was so dark we could barely see what we were eating.…personally really don’t understand why this place has such a high ranking.

Went to Pichai for dinner with a friend, and had a bunch of dishes to share that were all delicious! Loved the Som Tum Thai papaya salad and the Phai Mamuang Tod (pictured here) was flavourful, not too sweet and a delicious way to end the meal! Would recommend ordering a couple things to share ✨

I visited Pichai and had a very disappointing interaction with the staff. I simply asked whether takeout was available. The server immediately took the menu away and responded with a blunt “no,” without any explanation or courtesy. I fully understand that some restaurants don’t offer takeout. However, the dismissive tone and body language were unnecessarily rude. Hospitality should not disappear just because a customer asks a question.

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)

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.

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

#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
