ChuChai I dream about you. The peppery mock duck, the crispy spinach. The whole menu is so amazing. The best vegan restaurant in Montreal (tied with Chai Yo) If you have room don't miss the cakes- soooooo good.

Great service & ambiance. Clean, modern, & trendy. Nice patio. The crispy duck was phenomenal. Pretty much anything with'crispy' in the title is worth getting.

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.

The service was excellent & the food is hands down best meat substitute i've ever had. The chocolate cake was the best & make sure you try Ped Palo, its the vegan duck. We will definitely revisit

Honestly the best Asian vegan restaurant ever. The crispy duck could fool any non vegan!

Update, came back after some time & was very disappointed in their'chicken' skewers. They used to be so good, individual crispy pieces , now they are just a cut up loaf of seitan I can buy at the grocery store. Not worth the price anymore
