As a vegan who adores Thai food, I have always been fond of ChuChai. I have come by here a number of times over the years. There is a wonderful selection of mock meats & there are menu dishes that involve their wonderful peanut sauce. The food is tasty while not always consistent it is still a refreshing spot in a wonderful location (right on saint denis) for a meal.

Warning: This review comes from a non-vegan so I'm not sure how to review it.

We took the table d'hôte & it came in an abundance of food! I was quite happy to not feel disgusting even with dessert in the end. I was a huge fan of the papaya salad, the fresh spring roll, & my fried spinach peanut butter tofu ricr bowl! The fried banana dessert was the cherry on top.

Oh, don't forget to order their drinks, it's good!

Exceptional food quality & service! We tried the vegan shrimp appetizer, peanut dumplings, tofu fries, vegan duck curry & tapioca pudding - all were fabulous! Waiters/waitresses were super professional, kind & considerate & very swift. Best place for vegetarians in Montreal!

ChuChai is by far my favourite restaurant. Even if you are not vegan, don't miss out on this place! Every dish is so well done & so delicious. I highly recommend the breaded mushrooms (taste a little like chicken wings), the peanut sauce chicken skewers & the duck (hard to believe it's not real duck). Thanks for all the delicious food!

Since becoming vegetarian, one of the foods I've missed the most is THAI -- There is fish sauce in everything. ChuChai has been the perfect solution to this problem. I (& my omnivore friends) don't even notice the difference. I've been back 3 times in the last month & can see myself going there regularly for my fix of peanut sauce!

Staff is very friendly & service is quick. My only complaint is that the drink list didn't have ingredients listed, but if you ask the wait-staff they will happily recite what every drink on the menu contains.

Definitely recommend!
