Mon resto préféré. Le personnel est sympathique & professionnel. La bouffe est délicieuse. Jamais été déçu, une seule fois, de mes passages au ChuChai. Je recommande particulièrement, le canard au cari rouge.

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!

I absolutely loved this restaurant. From the friendly staff to the cozy atmosphere, it was all amazing. I would highly recommend. I went with a friend who is non vegan & she also loved & enjoyed the food. Everything was well prepared, vegetables used in the dishes were fresh, & the food was hot & tasty!
Fantastic desserts as well.
