CHAI-YO propose une exploration exclusivement végétale des traditions culinaires thaïlandaises authentiques au sein d'un cadre contemporain. Le menu se concentre sur les herbes aromatiques traditionnelles, les pâtes de curry maison et les légumes frais de saison pour reproduire les profils de saveurs complexes typiques de la cuisine de rue du Sud-Est asiatique. 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. L'environnement intérieur privilégie une esthétique minimaliste permettant aux couleurs vives des ingrédients de servir de point focal principal. 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.
INSANEEEE Thai Food. Every dish was packed with flavor & I was blown away by the texture & flavor of the duck. The peanut sauce in the dumplings was so good, we were scraping the sides to finish it. Would HIGHLY recommend. Dare I say, the best Thai Food I've ever had (aside from Thailand).
Honnêtement la cuisine végétarienne est excellente ,je m'y attendais pas de déguster à un menu sans viande, alors là je fus surprise par la qualité,j'ai commandé le cari vert,c'est une pépite. La serveuse était parfaitement aimable & accueillante par son 😃. Je recommande ,vous ne serez pas déçu.
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 :)
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.
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.
