Review Summary

Reviews consistently praise ChuChai for a fully vegan Thai menu that delivers authentic flavors and textures, with crowd favorites such as the vegan crispy duck, Tom Yum, green and red curries, Panang, and dumplings with peanut sauce that satisfy both vegans and meat lovers. The atmosphere is described as cozy and minimal, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, though a few comments note slower service during busy times or moments when refills are missed. The menu is varied and creative, and many meals are described as well balanced and deeply flavorful, with soups and curries highlighted as standouts. Prices are generally viewed as reasonable, though some dishes feel a bit pricey to certain diners. Reservations are often advised during peak hours due to popularity. Overall ChuChai is regarded as one of the best vegan or vegan friendly Thai options in Montreal, offering a dependable, flavorful dining experience for groups and for diners who are not vegan.

Amazing restaurant. We were 75% meat eater & we did not feel like we were eating vegan food. It was really amazing. The service was great. The servers gave great recommendations & allowed us to stay & talk even though they were closing. Would recommend!

My favorite vegan restaurant in Montreal. The food is amazing & the staff is very friendly. Every dish I had so far was excellent. A special mention to the crispy vegan duck (ped palo) that is a real delight.

Plats vegan délicieux ! J'y suis allée à l'occasion de mon anniversaire & c'était un diner très réussi. Le service est impeccable, la salle est juste un tout petit peu bruyante. J'ai choisi le menu "table d'hôte" pour découvrir un peu de tout. La qualité est excellente, les plats étaient bien relevés. J'y retournerai avec plaisir :)

Lovely food...so amazing to be able to order anything from the all vegan menu.
The server was so helpful in guiding our choices. We had a lovely time.

The character of this place is minimal yet pretty with a cozy atmosphere & amazing food! We tried Pad thai, Veg Fried Rice, Dumplings with Peanut sauce & Chicken Skewer & all four dishes were scrumptious. Can't recommend enough if you are into vegan & thai.
PS: The bar seats were not very comfortable to sit but the food made up for it!

Great service & so many options for food!!! You may get overwhelmed but I'm sure everything is delicious, you can't go wrong. The vegan duck was delicious. If you want to finish off with dessert, I recommend the fried banana 🍌🍌🍌

We love the restaurant & have been there several times. The food & the service are just excellent, there is no bad food choice because everything is delicious! That time we decided to take the menu (55$/person) & I honestly felt disappointed. I think it is very overpriced for the appetizers they give you (a small salad & just a tiny bite of the rest of them, just one dumpling, not even half a summer roll, a spoon of a vegan duck salad). So for this I don't think it's worth taking the menu. I would recommend either lowering the price (35-40$ seems reasonable) or giving a bigger quantity on the appetizers (really, the size was pretty ridiculous...). We will come back for sure, but we won't repeat the menu!
