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!

What a sweet find! We ate here on Boxing Day for dinner. The atmosphere was cozy & calm. We had Kiao Satay dumplings to start - peanutty & a little kick of spice. Our mains were Green Curry with tofu & eggplant (very fragrant & fresh!) Ped Yang Panang with rice & crispy duck (little spicy with rich flavour). Would eat there everyday if we could while visiting Montreal!

The crispy duck is one of the most incredible vegan dishes I've ever had.

Delicious food, great service. When since if the food proved too spicy for a member of our party, they were quick to bring some oat milk.

I've been promising to come to this place the next time I got to Montreal, so I decided to go on my first night there! The service was exquisite & knowledgeable & guiding. The atmosphere was so sweet, bright, chill, cozy, & still had a warm, fuzzy energy about it, even though it was early enough that it wasn't very busy yet. I had a delicious tequila cocktail, nice & spicy, brussels sprouts with satay sauce that will blow your mind, & a beautiful fresh green papaya salad. Can't wait to go back to try more things! Popped in for lunch, this weekend. I had the sandwich special, which meant that I force-fed (not at ALL!) some absolutely killer dumplings in a satay sauce I'd like to marry, a yummy & refreshing Thai Iced Tea & a ridiculously happy-fying vegan ham banh mi! I haven't had a banh mi in years, & this one was flawless! Bright, balanced, sweet, fresh... I ate it way too fast. I think I was afraid to put it down! Next visit: duck sandwich, & next, soup!

Excellent Pad See Ew! The Chinese brocoli was sliced perfectly to be cooked to the same doneness as the noodles, which is often overlooked at other restaurants. The addition of green cabbage instead of eggs was nice as well.

My favourites were both the green curry & the red curry with steam rice but everything here is delicious! The owner is very friendly & accommodating. One of the best vegan restaurants in Montreal!

We had the lunch special which was noodles & starters & a seltzer drink. The rice dumplings had a standout peanut sauce & great sesame flavour. The noodles were great. My friend had their'duck' soup which he couldn't stop raving about. You couldn't tell it was vegetarian, the dishes are all so well flavoured. The owners are really nice & it's a happy place to hang out at. Will have to try their desserts next time.

Loved my first experience there! Everything tasted delicious. My drink tasted amazing but came in the smallest glass I've ever seen. Would have liked & was expecting more. I recommend this place & will definitely go there again

Excellent vegan Thai food, the dumplings (Kiao Satay) are amazing, also tried Pad Thai Tao-Hu, Kao Man Gai, both delicious. The owner is the daughter of the original ChuChai restaurant owners & she has her mom's talents & cooking skills. Highly recommended.

Excellente table, nous avons adoré notre repas. Coup de coeur pour les choux de bruxelles, la salade de riz croustillant & le plat de canard vegan. Le sticky rice mango au dessert était également délicieux.

Petit resto de quartier avec un décor minimaliste. L'originalité des plats ainsi que le plaisir en bouche ne sont pas égaux entre eux. C'est une option de plus pour les végans & malheureusement dans mon cas, rien de va m'inciter à y retourner. Néanmoins pour une première fois je vous conseille d'y aller & de voir par vous-même étant donné sa note parfaite donnée par la communauté.
