On a commandé le curry vert & kao man gai, les deux plats ont été servis avec une belle surprise ! Plein d'ingrédients légumes frais, proprement arrangés, le curry vert était pas trop piquant & juste bon savoureux ! Kao man gai avait de tofu frit & escalope de champignons, les fritures propres & croquants, la petite bouillon pour finir avec de bon goût de legumes 👍👍👍View more

I was very impressed with the food. Amazing vegan Thai restaurant. Everything was excellent. I really don't like the name'crispy duck' but don't let that animal name turn you off - it's basically crispy vegan seitan & I highly recommend you order anything with it. We had the soup with crispy duck & the red curry with crispy duck & they were amazing! The peanut butter dumplings were another favorite. They have the best vegan Thai iced tea! Most Thai iced teas are cloyingly sweet but this had the perfect level of sweetness- not very sweet & exactly how I like it. Next time we are in Montreal, we will definitely be coming back here. They also own another vegan Thai restaurant called chu chai which I haven't tried yet.View more

It's nice to see thai restaurants that offer authentic food. We started the meal with fried imperial rolls & peanut butter dumplings which were both so delicious. We shared two mains; Ped yang Panang (vegan duck seitan Curry) & Kao Man Gou (steamed tofu with spicy sauce & ginger rice). Both were good but I love my curries so the sietan curry had me. We also got a Kao man gai soup which was a little bland but other than that great food experience.View more

My partner & I have been ordering from this place many times already, & everything we've both tasted from Chai-Yo has been absolutely delicious.
The dishes are cooked to perfection, they're flavor bombs, with a great balance of textures as well, plus there are some truly spicy options on the menu! I love the heat in these dishes but it can be a bit much if you're not usually into spicy foods.
I especially like the flavours of Tao-hu Sam Rod (crispy tofu in three-flavoured tamarind sauce), Kao Kra Pao (stir-fried TVP with basil & chili) & Khiao Wan Tao-hu (green curry with eggplants), though everything else I've tried so far was equally amazing.
The portions are generous, the dishes always taste very fresh, & everything is vegan to boot.
Highly recommended :)View more

What a sweet find! We ate here on Boxing Day for dinner. The atmosphere was cozy & calm. We had Kiao Satay dumplings to start - peanutty & a little kick of spice. Our mains were Green Curry with tofu & eggplant (very fragrant & fresh!) Ped Yang Panang with rice & crispy duck (little spicy with rich flavour). Would eat there everyday if we could while visiting Montreal!View more

My favourites were both the green curry & the red curry with steam rice but everything here is delicious! The owner is very friendly & accommodating. One of the best vegan restaurants in Montreal!View more

Everything on this menu is phenomenal. I've tried most of the menu & there are literally no bad dishes. Special shout-out to the red-curry noodles, crispy rice, & mushroom wings. So happy to have another vegan Thai spot in Montreal (especially one where I can proudly take non-vegans & they're equally impressed).View more

Mango sticky rice is outstanding & reminded me of my trip in Thailand. I would come back just for that. With that said, the rest of the food was also very good. The brussel sprouts were very nice, although a little too salty. The green curry & vegan duck penang were good too. The waitress was very attentive & helpful! Small terasse to eat outside was a bonus.View more

I loved the iced tea! I ordered the red curry (NOM JEEN NAM YA), as well as the green curry (NOM JEEN KHIAO WAN TAO-HU). Both were delicious (& spicy 😋): I still can't decide which one I prefer. You'd have to try them yourself ;) Highly recommended.View more

Super bon nouveau resto à Montréal. Un petit frère pour Chu Chai. Un peu plus street food , moins fancy mais tout aussi bon. Nous avons choisi le plat de nouilles au curry rouge, le Kao Kra Pao & l'entrée de Monkey mushroom(coup de coeur) Le staff est gentil & l'endroit est accueillant. Nous allons revenir.View more

first of all, the service is great! my boyfriend & i got the spicy papaya salad & the green curry (nom jeen khiao wan), it was enough for 2 people. my bf is a fiend for spicy food & he was sweating a lot, bonus points 👍🏾 i highly recommend the green curry wow!!(i usually dislike eggplants, but the pieces were very well seasoned in the curry, i couldn't believe it) the food felt nutritious, everything was super fresh & delicious. even the water tasted better than in other restaurants hahah. i can't wait to come back to try more options from the menu 😊 💗View more

Delicious, fresh vegan Thai food in an unassuming, laid back vibe. Will definitely be returning. Every dish was balanced - the potatoes were a real surprise & standout, flavour wise. Green curry was perfect. Only a matter of time before this place becomes a go-to.View more

Really good vegan thai restaurant! I went there to get food for a pick up. The menu is entirely vegan which makes for a big change compared to most Montréal restaurants. The music in there is good, the ambiance is cool as well. It's a brand new restaurant but it was surprisingly empty for the quality. I sat alone in there waiting for my order. The waitress was really kind in helping me navigate the menu & telling me her favourites, best sellers etc. I'd be willing to go eat there instead of getting a take out next time. I took the red curry & it was surprisingly spicy. I'm used to spicy food but this was something. Even 25 minutes of commute after getting my food it was still really good. Everything tasted super fresh & had deep flavours. I'll have to go back to take some pictures of the food because I jumped right in as soon as i opened the plates. So I don't have any pictures of the food..View more
