| - I went to Cuisine Bangkok after hearing from my friends and seeing a lot of posts on Instagram and online about how they have one of the "best" (some people said they have the best) Pad Thai in Montreal. I was really looking forward to it since I love Pad Thai!
Cuisine Bangkok is located inside Le Faubourg's food court and besides Pad Thai, they have a wide variety of dishes, ranking from green curry to fried rice, from salt and pepper shrimps to tom yum soup, and so on. I've already decided that I wanted to eat their Pad Thai, so the other options were discarded! They have different Pad Thai: tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp/seafood and vegetarian (if I remember correctly).
I opted for their chicken Pad Thai. When it came, I was surprised at the quantity of noodle they gave, it was pilled up pretty high! BUT, when I sat down and started to eat, I realized under the so-called "thick layer of noodle" was an even bigger layer of bean sprouts. I felt cheated a little bit but for the price, it was understandable in a way. I was disappointed with their Pad Thai, there wasn't anything special about it, it was just slightly better than Thai Express (they just have less sauce than Thai Express, so the noodle weren't soaked inside the "pool of sauce" like the latter place). I don't think this is the best Pad Thai in Montreal. Indeed, this place and their Pad Thai are a bit overrated.
P.S: You have to pay an additional fee for takeout box (which surprised me because I've never been asked to pay for takeout box before...)
P.P.S: Beware, the lady at the cash could be pretty rude and impatient. I asked her a couple of questions and she was annoyed. She clearly showed me her "annoyed" face and elevated her voice when she replied me. I mean you are in a restaurant/service industry, I expect you to at least me patient when customers have questions. The service was in general bad.
Conclusion: I would not return to this place for their Pad Thai and for this kind of service. I've had better ones in Montreal!
