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 :)

The crispy duck is one of the most incredible vegan dishes I've ever had.

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.

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).

What a wonderful place. The food is delicious & it was so refreshing to find a real vegan restaurant (most restaurants in Montreal use fish sauce & oyster sauce in'vegan' dishes). Staff is very friendly. I love this place
