The food here is amazing! Everything looks scrumptious & taste delicious. The diversity of rich flavours; will have your taste buds dancing with joy. I really love their concept of them having a day menu & a night menu because they offer different things on both menus. Which is lovely because if you decide to come in the day & the night; you'll feel like you had two different mouth watering & mind-blowing experiences in the same day from the same restaurant.

Première visite, j'ai été ravi de l'accessibilité, vraiment à coté de la station Sherbrooke. Petit local propre, agréable lumière & plein de plantes vertes. J'ai essayé le sauté de pvt au basilic, bien meilleur que le nom ;) parfaitement épicé ainsi qu'un délicieux cocktail, j'y suis même retournée plus tard dans la meme journée avec une amie curieuse. Les choux de bruxelle satay sont d'une perfection!

Les plats sont délicieux! Par contre attention, les plats épicées sont très épicés! (Venant de quelqu'un qui mange moyennement épicé). Coup de coeur de tous pour les Choux de Bruxelles & pour le plat au'canard'. Bel endroit, nous avons vraiment apprécié.

Being a fan of Chuchai, I was excited to try their new restaurant but I was a bit disappointed... I mean, food was excellent, service was on point, drinks were good too, but the menu isn't that different from their first restaurant, so I unfortunately didn't find it special enough. But don't take me wrong, food was good !!! Especially the dumplings omg miam ! They are to die for 😍

I discovered this place on Uber eats. Was pleasantly surprised & it was super yummy. I had the Pad Keemao & Pad See Ew. The Pad Keemao was the bomb, nice kick to it 🌶️. I'll be order again 😋

Super bon nouveau resto à Montréal. Un petit frère pour Chu Chai. Un peu plus street food , moins fancy mais tout aussi bon. Nous avons choisi le plat de nouilles au curry rouge, le Kao Kra Pao & l'entrée de Monkey mushroom(coup de coeur) Le staff est gentil & l'endroit est accueillant. Nous allons revenir.
