Opening in the Plateau on April 28, 2024 after a soft launch lasting a couple of weeks, the Thai noodle shop Bangluck is the latest from Laotian Montrealer Chitakone Phommavongxay (Chita) and Thai Montrealer Siriluksamee Rangthong (Nim).
Having made a name for themselves through their first venture of the Thai street food spot Thammada, followed by a partnership in Jesse Mulder’s standout Thai restaurant Pichai, their newest spot doesn’t try to flip any scripts.
If anything, it breaks ground by being an homage to tradition: “Originally, Thammada came from the goal of spreading the word about Thai street food, all the iconic dishes—pad thai, pad see ew, curries—but I knew the varieties of Thai food could be explored further,” Nim says.
