Restaurant Talay Thai — Restaurant in Montreal

My boyfriend and I make it a point to go to this restaurant every couple of months because the food 🥘 is actually good. However, on one particular night that we went to this restaurant, there was this waitress working there that I had not seen before. She was dressed in black, tall, plus sized, wearing glasses, grey eyes, and afro textured hair, put in a ponytail puff. I must say that I found her to be very rude. What was worse is I demonstrated nothing but humility and kind behaviour towards her and she scoffed it off with a very cold demenor. She was semi- respectful towards my boyfriend ( I guess assuming he was paying) . She never once addressed me as she was taking my order only asking my boyfriend once if “ he liked his meal” . It was very weird. When my boyfriend and I finished our meal and got up to pay, my boyfriend went ahead of me to the register. I took a little extra time to put on my coat. The same waitress came to clean off the table . I told her thank you 🙏 for the meal and she just glared at me and said nothing. I was in shock wondering what I did to deserve such treatment being that I said please and thank you to her the entire service and she received a tip. I really don’t like complaining at all because I understand that working in the service industry can be draining sometimes, but when paying customers who frequent your restaurant on a consistent basis and Who are actually very respectful to the staff receive disrespectful , cold , and univiting treatment when it is not warranted, I have to make a statement and say something about it. Because it’s really not fair as a paying customer who frequents to this restaurant on a regular basis and actually very respectful to staff to receive that kind...

Ordered delivery in the hopes of some comfort-noodles after a rough day. The positive is that the order was prepared and delivered in a reasonable time frame (about 35 minutes) and arrived still warm. The noodle dishes I ordered (pad thai shrimp and pad si ew beef) were really not good. The pad thai noodles had a squishy texture and the sauce had a slightly sweet flavour but I did not taste tamarind or any other flavour at all. The pad si ew sauce looks and tastes like flavourless brown gravy and the dish was covered in black pepper. The red curry with chicken + side of rice is the only thing I ordered that tasted the way it usually would from a Thai restaurant. The curry had fresh vegetables and a good taste and level of spice. The pieces of chicken were not great though. They were just these big dry cubes of chicken breast rather than the usual thinly sliced juicier thigh pieces. It is possible that the noodle dishes were just not to my taste and others would like it, but I would not order...

They have a big menu with a lot of choices and they have a lunch special for 14.95$ on weekdays. The green curry and the red curry were alright. It says "spicy" but it was really mild and manageable. It's a great location for a restaurant, but a few things can be improved. 1) My friend had the pad thai and thought it was no good (very bad according to him, he never finished them). 2) the place is dirty and not well maintained. The service was good in my opinion, the waiter kept coming to refill the water and ask us if everything was ok. They do serve mango sticky rice, now I'm no expert, but I'd say it was decent!

For a quick affordable lunch, it can suit students and maybe some health workers across the street. For myself, I probably wouldn't come back here since there are great thai...
