About

ChuChai specializes in sophisticated Thai cuisine rendered entirely plant-based through the creative use of soy, seitan, and fresh vegetables. The menu replicates traditional meat-based textures and flavors, offering items such as crispy mock duck, aromatic red curry, and savory stir-fries infused with authentic spices. This establishment maintains a commitment to replicating iconic dishes while strictly adhering to a vegan philosophy. Diners encounter a variety of plates featuring fresh herbs, coconut milk, and bold chili heat that defines classic regional Thai profiles. The interior provides a relaxed atmosphere suitable for exploring plant-based interpretations of Southeast Asian staples. Every dish demonstrates meticulous preparation, ensuring that each component contributes to a balanced and flavorful experience that challenges conventional perceptions of meat-free eating while delivering substantial, satisfying portions that honor the culinary traditions of Thailand.

Un must à essayer !! C'est le top de la cuisine végane. Le cocktail MK2 est vraiment délicieux & le miam kram est une entrée tout à fait exceptionnelle avec leurs lots de saveurs qui explosent dans la bouche. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & le staff est très sympathique. Je recommande à tous !

This place is truly the best!

The food is outstanding, the vibes are really good, staff are attentive & the whole place exudes integrity & dedication.

Whether you're dining in (recommended), taking out, or ordering from UberEats (they keep in-store prices, swallowing the fees themselves rather than passing them on to the customer), ChuChai is the best in the city.

10/10 recommend. Once you try it you'll keep coming back.

Elite order:
Peanut butter dumplings
Side of sticky rice for the dumpling sauce
Crispy seaweed
3 flavour beef
Wonton soup
Chili Basil fried rice

Le'Canard' croustillant est bon à tomber par terre! LE meilleurs repas de seitan que j'ai manger de ma vie, ma blonde a prise la soupe Tom yum, des samosa & des rouleau impériaux & ils étaient tous délicieux aussi, même chose pour nos deux mocktail :)
Je recommende énormément le canard croustillant

Je voulais vraiment aimer car ça fait longtemps que je voulais essayer ce restaurant mais franchement les assaisonements sont soit trop salés soit très sucrés. Je n'ai jamais mangé un gâteau au chocolat avec un glacage aussi salé?! Je cuisine souvent végétalien & c'est pas sorcier de faire de bons plats. L'entrée & le fait que le restaurant est vegane sont les seuls points positifs. Je ne recommande pas malheureusememt.
