⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely incredible experience at ChuChai! The food was delicious from start to finish, & everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavour. The ambiance was amazing, the music was perfect, & the service was warm, attentive, & welcoming.

Honestly, everything came together perfectly.. the food, the atmosphere, the service, the vibe… 10/10 all around. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.

I'm already looking forward to going back. ChuChai is definitely a must-try, whether you're vegan or not!

So as usual the food was fantastic. Everything is delicious, like everything. The service however was odd? We were a 5h30 reservation, we waited a while before anyone came to see us, when they did though they were very nice & helpful. Then the food arrived & we never really saw anyone again until 10 minutes before our'assigned 2 hours' ran out. No offer for more drinks or anything. When the saw the staff again they mumbbled something about dessert & I was super looking forward to grabbing some mangoes & sticky rice to go (since they had not come around earlier) & was told they were sold out. It was the end of the first seating & I had yet to see anything dessert-ish leave the kitchen. I feel they just wanted us out. So good food, inconsistant service.

Miam kram & het waan prob are quite delicious!

Ça fait du bien de pouvoir manger du thaï végé sur un menu complet. J'ai accompagné mon repas d'un bière du Dispensaire. 5/5 sur tous les aspects.
