This cute little restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner of CDN - a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of location. However, this is def a go-to place if you're in the area. The conventional flavors of SE-Asian cuisine that us, non-SE-Asians are used to (from other restaurants) are all there but with some added kicks of flavor.
We ordered the beef salad which was an interesting dish to say the least. The beef strips were flavorful and succulent but as a salad, it didn't really fit that name-tag. We also ordered the 'chicken and shrimp fried rice' which was very delicious. The best fried rice I've had in Montreal till now. The rice they use here is smaller and lighter so the flavors in the fried rice come through stronger. We also ordered the Amok (a chicken curry dish) but I was more impressed with the fried rice because I was expecting more heat and flavor in the Amok.
Hence because two out of the three dishes didn't impress me too much, I'll give this place three stars for now but I'll go back and try more dishes there. The restaurant was a refreshing find and even the Ikea catalog-esque decor was charming. It was simple and served the purpose yet it was elegant. I loved the jazz music backdrop and the staff were friendly.
