J'ai essayé le curry canard ! WoW pour être honnête ça faisait longtemps que j'en avait goûté un aussi bon ! Le service est excellent. Les prix sont abordables pour la qualité, c'est exceptionnel que tout soit végétarien, à noté que j'y allais un peu à reculons pour cette raison! Merci à l'équipe je reviens c'est certain 😉💯

The tom yum soup was good the flavours were there , just a tad too salty for my liking . My friend had the squash soup which was good.

Tried the papaya & vermicelli salads . They weren't for me personally but my friend really enjoyed the vermicelli salad.

Now for the main dishes .

I had the beef curry which had deep & rich flavour but missing something however the star is the crispy duck my friend had it was delicious I wish I had gotten that. It was a 10/10 . Overall I'd say it was good but definitely netter out there but the service was top notch.

The'duck' texture & flavours were bang-on, & the papaya & green curry were also amazing. But really, I came to write about one of
the yummiest cocktails I've had to date (MK2). & the service? Awesome.

ChuChai is simply one of the best restaurants in the Plateau. I have brought friends, family, dates here, & everyone has been impressed. Everytime I come, I try something new, & am amazed by the rich flavour in every dish. Vegan or not, you will be satiated.

One of the best & authentic Thai food in Montreal. Their red curry & green curry are too good! I was dreaming about it 2 days after I had the food. Their vegan chicken skewers are amazing with ting of lemon! I recommend the place every single time. It gets really crowded in the summer, so call to reserve.

Yummy vegan thai food. The peking duck was really good so was the curry & the mushroom app.
The guy who looks like Slash was our waiter & he was super cool!

Visited without a reservation & were informed that we could be seated in a table but had 1 hour to order & eat our food. It gets really packed & can feel a bit loud. Food was delicious, I'm not a vegetarian & really enjoyed the experience. I had a vegan beef in yellow curry that tasted like real beef. Would definitely visit again, but next time I'll make a reservation.
