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.

On a commandé le curry vert & kao man gai, les deux plats ont été servis avec une belle surprise ! Plein d'ingrédients légumes frais, proprement arrangés, le curry vert était pas trop piquant & juste bon savoureux ! Kao man gai avait de tofu frit & escalope de champignons, les fritures propres & croquants, la petite bouillon pour finir avec de bon goût de legumes 👍👍👍

Excellent restaurant! Nous y sommes allés dans le cadre de Mtl à Table & nous avons été agréablement surprises! La nourriture était excellenet & sortait de ce que nous sommes habitués dans la cuisine asiatique. La fusion entre les deux types de cuisine était remarquablement bien exécutée.

Le menu était entièrement végétarien! C'est super de pouvoir trouver ce genre de restaurant.

Le décor était super beau, il y avait beaucoup de plante! Le service était excellent également.

Rien de négatif à dire sur ce restaurant.

I was very impressed with the food. Amazing vegan Thai restaurant. Everything was excellent. I really don't like the name'crispy duck' but don't let that animal name turn you off - it's basically crispy vegan seitan & I highly recommend you order anything with it. We had the soup with crispy duck & the red curry with crispy duck & they were amazing! The peanut butter dumplings were another favorite. They have the best vegan Thai iced tea! Most Thai iced teas are cloyingly sweet but this had the perfect level of sweetness- not very sweet & exactly how I like it. Next time we are in Montreal, we will definitely be coming back here. They also own another vegan Thai restaurant called chu chai which I haven't tried yet.
