Just wow. I love Thai food & this spot was one of the best I've ever had. I got the crispy Brussel sprouts & panang curry. The sauces on both were deeply flavorful & the crispy'duck' (seitan) was so satisfying. I'll be thinking about this meal for a long time.
The courtyard is super cute, but the inside doesn't have AC, so be prepared if it's a hot day.
Our server was kind, prompt, & very helpful when we were choosing our dishes.
This is a must try spot in Montreal if you are vegan. Actually, it's a must try spot in general!
So yummy I went twice! I got the combo #4 lunch special which came with delicious peanut dumplings, Thai iced tea & the pepper duck sandwich. The flavors felt so fresh & the food was filling. Emily was also very attentive & helpful!
My second visit, I ordered the papaya salad & the ped panang duck curry. The papaya salad was refreshing, spicy & the crispy chicken on top was delicious dipped in the vinegar sauce.
The Panang was equally delicious, well balanced flavors & textures from the duck. As a Thai food aficionado, I was impressed! (Don't forget to ask for the chili sauce quartet! :D )
The food is absolutely amazing! The first time my husband & I went there, it became our new favorite restaurant & it has been ever since.
Amazing authentic Thai food, all vegan.
The crispy vegan duck panang (red curry) is soooo good! The dumplings are amazing as well. The peanut sauce they serve it with is the best we ever had. The spring rolls are delicious as well. These are our favorite dishes that we always order.
Highly recommend this restaurant!

Fantastic food, good prices, friendly staff. I had dumplings with peanut sauce as an entree & for main dish I had the panang curry with crispy seitan & they were both delicious. My only negative comment concerns the pandan cake I had for dessert, which was a bit dry & the pandan taste was very faint.
I had the Ped Yang Panang (crispy vegan duck) & it was absolutely delicous. What a wonderful vegan dish! I am beyond impressed by the quality of the food here.
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.
My partner & I have been ordering from this place many times already, & everything we've both tasted from Chai-Yo has been absolutely delicious.
The dishes are cooked to perfection, they're flavor bombs, with a great balance of textures as well, plus there are some truly spicy options on the menu! I love the heat in these dishes but it can be a bit much if you're not usually into spicy foods.
I especially like the flavours of Tao-hu Sam Rod (crispy tofu in three-flavoured tamarind sauce), Kao Kra Pao (stir-fried TVP with basil & chili) & Khiao Wan Tao-hu (green curry with eggplants), though everything else I've tried so far was equally amazing.
The portions are generous, the dishes always taste very fresh, & everything is vegan to boot.
Highly recommended :)
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!
