I've been promising to come to this place the next time I got to Montreal, so I decided to go on my first night there! The service was exquisite & knowledgeable & guiding. The atmosphere was so sweet, bright, chill, cozy, & still had a warm, fuzzy energy about it, even though it was early enough that it wasn't very busy yet. I had a delicious tequila cocktail, nice & spicy, brussels sprouts with satay sauce that will blow your mind, & a beautiful fresh green papaya salad. Can't wait to go back to try more things! Popped in for lunch, this weekend. I had the sandwich special, which meant that I force-fed (not at ALL!) some absolutely killer dumplings in a satay sauce I'd like to marry, a yummy & refreshing Thai Iced Tea & a ridiculously happy-fying vegan ham banh mi! I haven't had a banh mi in years, & this one was flawless! Bright, balanced, sweet, fresh... I ate it way too fast. I think I was afraid to put it down! Next visit: duck sandwich, & next, soup!

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.

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.

What a lovely, family run restaurant! I'm a BIG Chuchai fan so I was happy to try Chai-yo. The food was great - spicier than ChuChai for adventurous palates. We went for a quick dinner & had the Ped Yang Panang (vegan duck) which was sooo good! Also had the green papaya salad & it was spicy & flavorful! The dumplings with peanut sauce are similar to Chuchai's but have their own spin with a chili oil drizzle. Couldn't get enough of the Thai iced coffee!
