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

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

Excellent Pad See Ew! The Chinese brocoli was sliced perfectly to be cooked to the same doneness as the noodles, which is often overlooked at other restaurants. The addition of green cabbage instead of eggs was nice as well.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

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

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

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

The place to stop for mouth-watering noodle soup, scrumptious red & green curries, delectable duck & paté sandwiches on divine baguettes, & Thai iced tea, right next to Carré Saint-Louis. You will love this place, whether you are vegan or not.View more
