About

CHAI-YO delivers a strictly plant-based exploration of authentic Thai culinary traditions within a contemporary setting. The menu centers on traditional aromatic herbs, house-made curry pastes, and fresh seasonal vegetables to replicate the complex flavor profiles found in Southeast Asian street food. Diners encounter a focused selection of noodle dishes, fragrant soups, and spicy stir-fries crafted entirely without animal products. Every preparation emphasizes the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes characteristic of the region. The interior environment prioritizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic that allows the vibrant colors of the ingredients to serve as the primary visual focus. This establishment operates with a commitment to sustainable, plant-forward cooking techniques while maintaining high standards for ingredient sourcing and preparation consistency throughout its rotating seasonal menu offerings.

Every single time I try something new here with my vegan partner it's amazing. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the dumplings, but I'd highly recommend ordering literally anything else! The spicy cocktail is a fave of mine.

The restaurant is quite unique because they take simple dishes, & elevate them with simple spices. It is clean taste, vegetarian, authentic & very good! Most of all is the balance of flavor & the friendly staff. The price is decent, very affordable & it was an all-around enjoyable experience. Highly Recommended! A five star & a moon.

The food is absolutely amazing! The first time my husband & I went there, it became our new favorite restaurant & it has been ever since.
Amazing authentic Thai food, all vegan.
The crispy vegan duck panang (red curry) is soooo good! The dumplings are amazing as well. The peanut sauce they serve it with is the best we ever had. The spring rolls are delicious as well. These are our favorite dishes that we always order.
Highly recommend this restaurant!

Highly attentive staff despite being the only person managing all customers. Although it was a week day & a bit late for lunch. The food was very tasty & felt authentic. Decided to get their lunch combo specials. One was Kai Kra Pao & the other was Pad See Ew. Both were super tasty. The server was kind to customize it. Also got a lemon cake for dessert & it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend visiting this place if you are in Montreal.

INSANEEEE Thai Food. Every dish was packed with flavor & I was blown away by the texture & flavor of the duck. The peanut sauce in the dumplings was so good, we were scraping the sides to finish it. Would HIGHLY recommend. Dare I say, the best Thai Food I've ever had (aside from Thailand).
