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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely incredible experience at ChuChai! The food was delicious from start to finish, & everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavour. The ambiance was amazing, the music was perfect, & the service was warm, attentive, & welcoming.

Honestly, everything came together perfectly.. the food, the atmosphere, the service, the vibe… 10/10 all around. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.

I'm already looking forward to going back. ChuChai is definitely a must-try, whether you're vegan or not!

Definitely one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Montreal! I mostly order from UberEATS as it's my number 1 go-to when I don't have time to cook. Whatever I order it's always amazingly tasty & fresh. I went once to eat at the restaurant with a non-vegan friend he said it was the best pad thai he ever had. I try to taste different dishes, but the spicy fried rice with basil is always in the mix.

Vegan Thai with plenty of options which are all tasty. Almost all plates contain a meat replacer, ranging from beef over chicken to shrimps. Level of spicyness is rather Canadian than Thai so you do not have to be afraid to order a two pepper marked meal.

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 !
