For great Thai food with a dazzling array of menu choices, Montien is for you. The restaurant?s hip vibe ? majestic red walls, chic black furniture and large mirrors ? combined with the cheerful service, immediately make you feel special. And the exotic and scrumptious appetizers keep the good times rolling. Favorites include Lady Dancing, marinated shrimp grilled on skewers served with cucumber and peanut sauce; and Bang-Bang, a ground shrimp and chicken crispy spring roll with sweet and sour sauce. But then things really get good with a plethora of house special, seafood, curry, noodle and salad entrees that will satisfy all tastes. Standouts include the mild shrimp Panang Curry with green peas, onions, basil and coconut milk; and the Seafood Kamikaze - shrimp, scallop and squid stir-fried with onion, mushroom and zucchini in a hot chili sauce. And for those who want to keep it simple, the Pad-Se-Iew - stir-fried noodles with egg, Chinese broccoli in a perfect sweet soy sauce - doesn?t disappoint.

Authentic Thai cuisine at AFFORDABLE prices, fast & friendly service

So I got here late (9:45 pm). My waiter was friendly and nice and answered all my questions. The sushi rolls were fresh and there was a wide variety to chose from. The drunken noodles were seasoned and spiced well (I asked for mine a "little spicy"). The wine was slightly pricy (as far as Asian restaurants go) but the portion was good, so I didn't mind. The only negative was that at 10:15 pm, they asked if I could pay my bill. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hostess told me they closed at 10:30 pm. I really didn't mind as I was already eating (and drinking wine). To be fair, I was the last diner inside at that point. Normally, I don't like being rushed in my dining but I was famished and the food in front of me. Ehh, if that's the worst I can comment on... who cares?

• Pros: EXCELLENT FOOD, Good service, GENTLE PRICES!!
• Cons: No available parking (as far as I could tell)

Try the tempura sushi/ go elsewhere for better thai food

Recommended by our hotel- found the service to be excellent but the thai food was not great... but we also ordered sushi & it was the best tempura sushi as the whole roll is not deep fried merely sprinkled with tempura pieces which made for a great roll.

• Pros: sushi good
• Cons: go to another thai place for better food
