Visited without a reservation & were informed that we could be seated in a table but had 1 hour to order & eat our food. It gets really packed & can feel a bit loud. Food was delicious, I'm not a vegetarian & really enjoyed the experience. I had a vegan beef in yellow curry that tasted like real beef. Would definitely visit again, but next time I'll make a reservation.

The food is amazing, as always. We've been coming to ChuChai periodically for 15 years. It had never failed to deliver. Even as someone who is not vegetarian & usually orders the duck, ChuChai's duck is good. It will be a little different, but not much & the flavors are great. Oh, just in case: there is no meat in any dishes. All meat analogs.

Kiao satay was delicious.Miam Kram could have been better, mostly a weird mix of textures, but not bad. My friend enjoyed his Pad Keemao. Panang Neua was delicious, with the rice noodles side order. Tapioca & coconut pieces dessert were a great combination & well presented. Le Tigre cocktail was smooth & a little spicy.
