Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Inspired by chef Jesse Mulder’s stint living in Thailand, Pichai offers a bold take on Thai cuisine that emphasizes local ingredients and staples from the country’s northern region. Shareable dishes like Quebec cucumber som tum salad and whole fried arctic char from Opercule urban fish farm pair easily with local beer, though their low-intervention wine list offers an adventurous alternative.

Disastrous. Worst meal in Montreal in years. Come, only if you want an all-out assault on your palate!! Yes, I know what real Thai food is like. It's loud, it's in your face, it's strong flavors. But a good Thai kitchen understands balance, and how to bring all the ingredients together. Here? I recognize the ingredients. I recognize the flavors. But damn, there is zero balance. Just a cacophony of flavors that blow away a sensitive palate. Way too much acid. Way too much spice. The bitter salad leaves and bland white cabbage in the duck salad just haphazard. I LOVE Thai duck salad. This is absolutely the worst rendition I've ever eaten. Portions are tiny for what you pay. The QPR is bad. No adjustment on spice levels. All Thai places I'm used to, will ask you for the spice level during ordering. Not here. I got the pork collar, and I needed a whole bottle of water to wash the taste and spice out of my mouth. Service in general is entirely unattentive. Zero acknowledgment upon getting seated. Took 10 minutes before I was brought some water, and graced with some explanation of the menu. The zero consideration of modulating spice levels. And then upon finishing, just ignored until I flagged down the bartender for the check. Dark and cramped dining room. The clientele is mostly kids in their 20's and 30's, trying to feel worldly and exotic and cool with eating something different. Not a single Thai person in sight. SMH. A white kiddie recommended me to come here. I was skeptical - because Montreal has great food, but not great Thai food. I should have trusted my gut. $60 CAD down the toilet. Had to go down to L'Express to have a real dinner where my mouth didn't have a 3-alarm fire.

I come to Pichai whenever I have friends or family visiting from out of town, and it's always a hit! The whole arctic char is always the star of the evening, and the staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and good humoured. I always look forward to my next meal with Pichai!
