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.

Truly phenomenal! The whole table was beyond impressed with the flavours & presentation.

You must try the Kiao Satay, Som Tam Pla Ra, & the Nam Kao!

We were lucky enough to be served by the owner, Emily, who was welcoming with an elegant & calming presence.

I really cannot recommend this place enough!

Quelle belle découverte sur Saint-Denis. Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux dans ce restaurant.

Le choix des plats était excellent, avec des présentations soignées & colorées qui mettent l'eau à la bouche. Le gâteau, décoré avec trois belles bleuets frais sur le dessus, était particulièrement réussi. Tout était savoureux & parfaitement préparé.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & idéale pour un bon repas. Nous reviendrons sans aucune hésitation pour goûter au reste du menu.

The food is the star, one of the best east Asian inspired restaurants at a reasonable price amoung vegan & regular restaurants. The place, service, & atmosphere is good too but the food is 6/5 stars.
