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.

Expérience incroyable!!! Nourriture excellente, euphorisante. Je ne suis vraiment pas « foodie » en temps normal! Mais j'ai vraiment trouvé ce restaurant tellement excellent que j'y pense sans cesse. Le cari vert était incroyable. Je recommande sans hésiter!

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.
