CHAI-YO

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 :)

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.

I've already been to Chai-yo twice since it opened & I'm really eager to go back to try the rest of the menu. The food is incredibly tasty & the portions are generous. I had the seitan duck bahn mi my first visit, & the seitan duck noodle soup my second, which were both fantastic. As someone who is a big foodie who grew up in Asia & trying to embrace plant-based versions of my comfort foods, I appreciate that this vegan restaurant doesn't shy away from spice or bold flavors. Highly recommend vegetarians & omnivores to give this place a try!!

We had a lovely evening here. We shared three starters & a main between the two of us on the advice of the waiter. The food was exceptionally tasty. The Brussel sprouts especially were so delicious! The atmosphere was really nice. Highly recommend.

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.

first of all, the service is great! my boyfriend & i got the spicy papaya salad & the green curry (nom jeen khiao wan), it was enough for 2 people. my bf is a fiend for spicy food & he was sweating a lot, bonus points 👍🏾 i highly recommend the green curry wow!!(i usually dislike eggplants, but the pieces were very well seasoned in the curry, i couldn't believe it) the food felt nutritious, everything was super fresh & delicious. even the water tasted better than in other restaurants hahah. i can't wait to come back to try more options from the menu 😊 💗
