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

The food is incredibly fresh & delicious-some of the best vegan cuisine I've had in Montreal. The space is cozy & inviting, & the staff gave excellent recommendations. I'll definitely be coming back to try the duck soup next time. A must-visit spot.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

The food was amazing! We had a noodle soup with vegan crispy duck, a banh mi & the dumplings with peanut sauce. The soup was huge & so tasty! The sandwich with the vegan pate & ham was also soooo delicious! The staff was so friendly & attentive; very nice place!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

I've been promising to come to this place the next time I got to Montreal, so I decided to go on my first night there! The service was exquisite & knowledgeable & guiding. The atmosphere was so sweet, bright, chill, cozy, & still had a warm, fuzzy energy about it, even though it was early enough that it wasn't very busy yet. I had a delicious tequila cocktail, nice & spicy, brussels sprouts with satay sauce that will blow your mind, & a beautiful fresh green papaya salad. Can't wait to go back to try more things! Popped in for lunch, this weekend. I had the sandwich special, which meant that I force-fed (not at ALL!) some absolutely killer dumplings in a satay sauce I'd like to marry, a yummy & refreshing Thai Iced Tea & a ridiculously happy-fying vegan ham banh mi! I haven't had a banh mi in years, & this one was flawless! Bright, balanced, sweet, fresh... I ate it way too fast. I think I was afraid to put it down! Next visit: duck sandwich, & next, soup!View more

We had the lunch special which was noodles & starters & a seltzer drink. The rice dumplings had a standout peanut sauce & great sesame flavour. The noodles were great. My friend had their'duck' soup which he couldn't stop raving about. You couldn't tell it was vegetarian, the dishes are all so well flavoured. The owners are really nice & it's a happy place to hang out at. Will have to try their desserts next time.View more

I've already been to Chai-yo twice since it opened & I'm really eager to go back to try the rest of the menu. The food is incredibly tasty & the portions are generous. I had the seitan duck bahn mi my first visit, & the seitan duck noodle soup my second, which were both fantastic. As someone who is a big foodie who grew up in Asia & trying to embrace plant-based versions of my comfort foods, I appreciate that this vegan restaurant doesn't shy away from spice or bold flavors. Highly recommend vegetarians & omnivores to give this place a try!!View more

Came here to try one the lunch specials! The portion of dumplings was small but delicious, & the hibiscus water was too sweet for my liking, but the banh mi 93 was the star of the show! They use a delicious seitan "duck" meat & a nice fresh baguette. I left feeling very full! Next time I'd come back for just the banh mi & to try some of the other menu items, all of which are vegan. The restaurant itself was so cute & well located. Very friendly & quick service.View more

We ordered delivery from them & they were the absolute sweetest! The food was so tasty, we got the papaya salad which was spicy & flavourful & the duck banh mi which was huge & well worth the money, it hit the spot perfectly! Our uber driver was a menace (which was not their fault at all!) & they were very communicative & kind while we sorted it out, & even sent a little extra our way 🥹 Can't wait to visit their location & eat it again 🥰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

What a lovely, family run restaurant! I'm a BIG Chuchai fan so I was happy to try Chai-yo. The food was great - spicier than ChuChai for adventurous palates. We went for a quick dinner & had the Ped Yang Panang (vegan duck) which was sooo good! Also had the green papaya salad & it was spicy & flavorful! The dumplings with peanut sauce are similar to Chuchai's but have their own spin with a chili oil drizzle. Couldn't get enough of the Thai iced coffee!View more
