Les convives découvrent une sélection rigoureuse de plats de nouilles, de soupes parfumées et de sautés épicés élaborés entièrement sans produits d'origine animale. Chaque préparation souligne l'équilibre entre les notes sucrées, acides, salées et épicées caractéristiques de la région.

Cet établissement opère avec un engagement envers des techniques de cuisine durables axées sur le végétal tout en maintenant des normes élevées de sourcing et de constance.
CHAI-YO est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour savourer une cuisine thaïlandaise végétalienne authentique et riche en saveurs à Montréal. Les clients louent constamment la grande qualité des plats, soulignant des spécialités comme le canard de seitan croustillant, les dumplings à la sauce arachide, le cari vert et la salade de papaye. L'ambiance est fréquemment décrite comme chaleureuse, relaxante et accueillante, de nombreux visiteurs appréciant le décor soigné ainsi que l'emplacement agréable près d'un parc. Le service est régulièrement qualifié d'amical, attentionné et professionnel, contribuant à une expérience culinaire globale très positive. Bien que la majorité des convives trouvent les prix et les portions raisonnables par rapport à la qualité offerte, cet établissement demeure une adresse hautement recommandée tant pour les végétaliens que pour les non-végétaliens en quête de repas frais, audacieux et mémorables.
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 👍👍👍
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.
It's nice to see thai restaurants that offer authentic food. We started the meal with fried imperial rolls & peanut butter dumplings which were both so delicious. We shared two mains; Ped yang Panang (vegan duck seitan Curry) & Kao Man Gou (steamed tofu with spicy sauce & ginger rice). Both were good but I love my curries so the sietan curry had me. We also got a Kao man gai soup which was a little bland but other than that great food experience.

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 :)
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!
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!
Everything on this menu is phenomenal. I've tried most of the menu & there are literally no bad dishes. Special shout-out to the red-curry noodles, crispy rice, & mushroom wings. So happy to have another vegan Thai spot in Montreal (especially one where I can proudly take non-vegans & they're equally impressed).
Mango sticky rice is outstanding & reminded me of my trip in Thailand. I would come back just for that. With that said, the rest of the food was also very good. The brussel sprouts were very nice, although a little too salty. The green curry & vegan duck penang were good too. The waitress was very attentive & helpful! Small terasse to eat outside was a bonus.
I loved the iced tea! I ordered the red curry (NOM JEEN NAM YA), as well as the green curry (NOM JEEN KHIAO WAN TAO-HU). Both were delicious (& spicy 😋): I still can't decide which one I prefer. You'd have to try them yourself ;) Highly recommended.
Delicious food & great staff! We had the vegan duck sandwich, the spring rolls, the green curry noodles, the pad see ew, the pad Thai & the vegan duck noodle soup.
