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!

Just Wow. I had the beef curry with rice amd let me tell you that this was the best curry I ate. It was delicious well balanced & full of flavour. For the dessert my man had the cashew cream cake with black cherry sauce, it was creamy but light, not too sweet & really I am ditching the cheesecake this is my new favorite cake. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I will definitely come again soon.

Excellent food, but not a very warm & inviting atmosphere. Go for the food though.

The service was amazing, they really take care of you when you are there. But we were a bit disappointed by the food. We went for MTLàTable & there wasn't much variety in the menu provided. Almost every course had faux chicken or faux shrimp. So it was just a lot of the same thing over & over again which was a little disappointing.

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.
