As we're both vegetarians, and I had been here many years ago and continued to hear raves about it from my friends, I was excited to take her here and share a nice, moderately fancy, and totally delicious vegetarian meal.\n\nWhile I agree with the other reviewers that the food here is good, our dining experience was not a pleasant one.  First, it's been significantly redecorated since I was last there, and the new d\u00e9cor is a rather harsh, black-and-white, modern style, which makes the space feel cold.  Not an inviting place to step into from the Montr\u00e9al winter.  While I realize that some may find the trappings of a typical Thai restaurant kitschy, this place made me feel like I was eating in an operating room on the moon.\n\nNext, the service was quite rushed, even though the place was completely empty (at around 6PM on a Sunday night).  Combined with the atmosphere, it's not a place I'd recommend for a pleasant, relaxed dinner.  The tea we ordered came in cute little Alessi pots and was wonderfully prepared, but we scarcely had time to drink a single cup before our food arrived.\n\nFinally, when our food arrived (I ordered the chicken with basil and chili, my wife ordered chicken with green beans and spicy sauce), it was cold!  The fake meat strips were just barely warm on the outside, and the sauce was lukewarm.  When we complained to our waiter, he argued with us, saying \""it was just out of the wok\"", and only grudgingly and condescendingly offering to take it back and stir-fry it a bit longer.  We didn't see that waiter for the rest of the night.\n\nWhen our food came back, it was much more appropriately heated.  Consistent with the other reviews, the portions were small - just about the right amount of food for one person with no left-overs.  They charge extra ($2-3) for rice, which, again, comes in a nice individual portion.  I had the standard sticky rice, which wonderfully complements the sauces and is served in a plastic bag (?!) inside a bamboo \""steamer\"".  It was also not particularly hot, which, along with the plastic bag, left me wondering whether it had simply been reheated in a microwave...  My wife had the brown rice, which was actually red jasmine rice, and was well cooked and quite tasty.\n\nIf this place were a few dollars cheaper and the portions twice the size, it would be awesome for take-out.  Quite aside from our bad experience with the waiter, I can't recommend it for a sit-down dinner.
