Good neighborhood restaurant in the "fast food, but restaurant and it's good" style. Good value for money and the pad thai was very tasty and quite filling (for me). Ultra fast service, we were served in 5 or 10 minutes max (a Sunday at 3 p.m.).There are quite a few people in the evening, you may have to wait 15-20 minutes outside. At lunchtime it will surely be busy too.I tested in the evening and there wasn't too much of a wait, we may have been lucky. We had a pad thai, pad kaprao and a mango sticky rice. Favorite for the pad kaprao ❤️ For the mango sticky rice, the rice was good but not the mango unfortunately.

I've spent a few months in Thailand and my all time favorite is the red curry. First time going to Pumpui yesterday and I've tasted their fish ball green curry, tofu red curry, shrimp and tofu pad Thai, the cabbage salad and the potato appetizer.I'd recommend the green curry sauce, but the kind of daikons in it were just weird and huge. Once removed, there wasn't much left beside the fish balls.Pad Thai was alright, but the tofu was quite dry.I didn't like the red curry that tasted too much like tomatoes - We were 3 and no one wanted to finish the dish.The potatoes were good.The salad was very unbalanced (super strong smell of coconut, big chunks of ginger, just not fun) and no one wanted to finish this one neither.I will not go back.

Thai person review:Dishes we ordered: Pad Kaprao (beef) and Peach Sticky Rice (mango was out of season)Went there in December 2022, just a few month since I arrived in Montreal. Pad Kaprao was my usual go-to meal when I was in Thailand, so I started searching where I could get one. Stumbled upon a recommendation of this Épicerie Pumpui, and the picture of Pad Kaprao in the review looked nice. So we went there, and came back uncertain how we should feel about the meal.Pad Kaprao tasted somewhat better than what you can expect from other westernised thai restaurants, and it could have been an okay/decent dish had it been something else completely. The dish did not taste like any Pad Kaprao that I knew. Key flavours were not there. Fish sauce - garlic - hot peppers in hot wok, none of it was strong enough to represent a proper Pad Kaprao.Still, it was not a bad dish, you just have to get your expectation right. And please note that I am rating this with a thai palette, I don’t know if foreigners, especially westerners who usually eat food with milder flavours, would like it better than me or not.Also, I am sure that other dishes that are easier to nail such as Gaeng Gai (Chicken Red Curry) or more neutral dish would be fine. (Pad Kaprao is a very simple dish, but when done incorrectly, it can be far off.)For peach sticky rice (no photos, sadly), I have to say that it’s not bad at all. The portion might be a little bit too modest for the price, but well. It is what it is, I guess.Atmosphere was very nice. The place was very tight and cozy, and there were a lot of people when I went there. I guess that helped boost the coziness.Service, on the other hand, was not impressive at all. It was not too different from any service you could get elsewhere in Montreal, but they just didn’t seem to care that much (they’re also busy, I get that, still, could be a bit nicer). Most of other thai restaurants in Montreal would offer better services (with some exception, of course).

Absolutely delicious, a festival of flavors!I don't recommend the PadThai however, the other dishes are more out of the ordinary and are even better.The only dessert on the menu is fantastic too. 10/10
