Chuchai restaurant offers friendly service, a relaxed ambiance, a personalized approach, and the ingenious culinary styling of Lily Sirikittikul, a chef whose talents and creativity make her one of the best in the business.
ChuChai is widely praised for vibrant vegan Thai cuisine, with many dishes described as flavorful and inventive, especially the vegan duck and other meat substitutes that mimic traditional textures, along with rich curries, fragrant soups, and tasty dumplings; service and atmosphere are frequently highlighted as welcoming and attentive, and the overall value is considered good, prompting repeat visits, though a few notes mention occasional saltiness, slower service when crowded, and some inconsistency across dishes.
We had a great time at ChuChai restaurant. Our server Massin was so kind & our food was SO delicious - I highly recommend the crispy duck! Looking forward to coming back in our next visit to montreal :)
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.

Mes amis & moi avons adoré notre expérience! La nourriture est excellente, les cocktails sont bons & SURTOUT le personnel est chaleureux & très attentionné. Nous n'avons jamais manqué de rien & ils prennent le temps de bien répondre aux questions. Je recommande x1000
we have a vegetarian friend so we decide to go to this restaurant. You can reserve the table through the website. The food is really good. Highly recommend the duck one it's really really good & taste exactly like meat. The place is cozy & chill. The staff is really nice.

Best vegan restaurant in Montreal! Followed the advice from other reviews & tried the mock duck with spinach which certainly did not disappoint. We also tried a mock chicken dish with peanut satay sauce & it was super tasty. 100% recommend the food here & the service was great too!
La nourriture & l'accueil furent sans reproche. Nos papilles ont fait un voyage merveilleux grâce à la cuisine unique & éxotique. Recommander pour végétaliens ou curieux de bonnes tables.
Honestly one of my favourite vegan restaurants. I love everything on the menu, so tasty & delicious. I brought my meat lovers, & they LOVED everything we had, they said that it tasted very very good & they would go again.
I recommend this restaurant to anyone, meat lovers, vegetarian, vegans etc… you won't be disappointed.
Service was excellent too, the atmosphere is welcoming, a must try if you're in the area 🙌🏽
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.

Expérience incroyable!!! Nourriture excellente, euphorisante. Je ne suis vraiment pas « foodie » en temps normal! Mais j'ai vraiment trouvé ce restaurant tellement excellent que j'y pense sans cesse. Le cari vert était incroyable. Je recommande sans hésiter!
It used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But the quality of the dishes has gone way down, & the prices (which were already high) have gone WAY UP. In short, it shows that the owner is only interested in making money. I can't recommend.
Went first time to this place as my friend chose it. It was my treat for her birthday. Must say, was mighty impressed with the awesome food & truly exceptional service. They also remembered from the conversation that it was my friend's birthday & surprised her with a candle on the dessert chocolate cake she ordered! Overall a wonderful experience & would definitely recommend. Meat eaters will not miss the meat.
We got the Thai Princess drink, dumplings in peanut sauce (Kiao satay), the vegan chicken skewers (Gai Satay), the vegan beef in 3 flavor sauce (Neua Sam Rod), the eggplant & vegan shrimp (koung pad makere). I would recommend the Gai Satay & the Neua Sam Rod, it was really flavorful & the vegan beef had a nice crispy texture. I'm personally not a fan of the shrimp texture, which was probably made with konjac jelly. I've been here before & tried the crispy vegan duck & would highly recommend it as well. The ambience is really cozy & chic. The staff is really friendly & explained all the dishes we were curious about. I would visit again!
As a lacto ovo vegetarian, vegan restaurants are a special haven for me, given that I can order anything & everything, no holds barred. I had the spring rolls & pad Thai & I have to say this was just some of the best Thai food & vegan food that I've had. It was a good omen from the get-go. My mom & I didn't have reservations (albeit we did walk in after 8pm on Saturday eve) & we were seated right away. Staff were extremely friendly & attentive without being over-bearing. The spring rolls weren't fried & were wrapped in rice paper (this was a plus for me as I'm always trying for healthier options). Although the rolls were cold, they came with a warm peanut sauce. We ended the night with the vegan cheesecake & I can honestly say we were left feeling light, well-fed, & full of endorphins! Highly recommend!
