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.

Je fréquente le resto depuis 2006 ... vraiment un coup de coeur. Les entrées d'hier soir étaient magnifiques... le plat principal pas vraiment super mais il était bon. Visite lors de MTL à table.

Pourrait améliorer l'intimité des tables , style de repas ne va pas avec l'ambiance qui devrait être Zen »

Relativement bruyant, mais tolérable. Personnel très aimable. Service exceptionnel, bon débit pour amener les plats. Belles portions. Saveurs délicieuses. C'était notre première fois, mais nous retournerons !

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 :)

So happy to see ChuChai thriving. The food is consistently excellent & the service is always great. Last night the service was slower than usual as it was quite busy & the restaurant was louder than usual, making conversation quite difficult. I'm not sure what you can do to improve the noise level - maybe have fewer people crammed together?

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!

The quality of the food has declined from prior visits. It seems that the ingredients are no longer the same as years past. The service was excellent, very attentive.

My great uncle in Toronto told me about this place. A few years ago, & every time I would see him he would ask if I went, & I would say no, & he always looked extremely disappointed. I finally went with my girlfriend & it was awesome! The cocktails are great, & the food is amazing! I’m very much a carnivore, & it was very difficult for me to tell that their “meat” is not real meat. 100% would recommend

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 🍌🍌🍌
