Review Summary

Reviewers describe Chai Yo as a cozy, welcoming vegan Thai spot with bold, flavorful dishes built around vegan duck, seitan and dumplings, including standout items like vegan duck soup, Pad See Ew, Panang and green curries, and fresh sides such as papaya salad; desserts and drinks like Thai iced tea are well received. The service is repeatedly praised for being friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is noted as inviting and intimate. Many reviewers view value as good, with lunch deals and generous portions for some items, though a few comment that portions can feel small for the price and a couple mention having had better experiences elsewhere; overall the place is seen as a must visit with plans to return.

Service was very good. But food was overpriced for the very small portions & not-so-great taste

Restaurant thai végane unique en son genre ! Les plats sont extrêmement recherchés & délicieux. Je recommande surtout les plats au seitan, le gaeng massanan & les dumplings; tous sont incroyables. Attention au non jeen nam ya… ce plat est beaucoup plus relevé par rapport aux autres plats'piquants' du menu. Je n'ai pas pu le finir alors que j'ai l'habitude de manger épicé…

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!
