This place is incredible. Really kind staff & really really good food. Came with my partner two times during our trip. anything off the menu is incredible but specifically the vegan duck soup is otherworldly. Enjoy!
We were there twice this week on our visit to Montreal. The food was so delicious & comforting, the vegan duck soup was our favorite. The service was also amazing & so welcoming. We look forward to coming back on our next visit.

Chez Chai-yo, tout est bon, tout est beau. Du café thai & jus d'hybicus pour boire. Delicieux Canard vegan croustillant. Le curry vert est super ! & les gâteaux de la soeur : over the top ! 5 étoiles! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What can I say… everything from Chai-Yo is delicious, flavorful & bold!!! Absolutely love every item on their menu. They have great lunch deals too, & yummy iced coffee. Perfect for vegans & non vegans alike! Must try in MTL.
The reviews did not lie! We were so excited to try Chai Yo, & our expectations were blown out of the water. The peanut sauce on the dumplings was one-of-a-kind & their vegan duck was magical. The place itself was beautiful-one of the walls was covered in childrens' illustrations & it brought out the family feel in a special way. Our server was also very kind & attentive. Looking forward to coming back (& also trying ChuChai)!
