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.

Absolutely Vegan Deliciousness 😋 Sweet family run business. Emily & her mother are so nice & put out the most delicious 😋 Vegan food out there. I had the Vegan Duck Soup, Absolutely Delicious 😋. I can't say delicious 😋 enough, & it was absolutely worth the trip from the West-Island.

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.

Really good vegan thai restaurant! I went there to get food for a pick up. The menu is entirely vegan which makes for a big change compared to most Montréal restaurants. The music in there is good, the ambiance is cool as well. It's a brand new restaurant but it was surprisingly empty for the quality. I sat alone in there waiting for my order. The waitress was really kind in helping me navigate the menu & telling me her favourites, best sellers etc. I'd be willing to go eat there instead of getting a take out next time. I took the red curry & it was surprisingly spicy. I'm used to spicy food but this was something. Even 25 minutes of commute after getting my food it was still really good. Everything tasted super fresh & had deep flavours. I'll have to go back to take some pictures of the food because I jumped right in as soon as i opened the plates. So I don't have any pictures of the food..

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.
