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.

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!

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!!

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 🥰

We brought our meat-eating four year old here & he didn't miss a best. It's fresh & tasty. Not mass produced. Excellent broths.

We had a lovely evening here. We shared three starters & a main between the two of us on the advice of the waiter. The food was exceptionally tasty. The Brussel sprouts especially were so delicious! The atmosphere was really nice. Highly recommend.
