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.

Great food, from the entre to the dessert! They also have gluten free options. Was able to accommodate easily for vegan & gluten free dishes. Love the ambiance as well. This is my 2nd time coming here, & I plan on coming again. Great job!

Nous avons trouvé notre repas délicieux & le service était très bon. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Seul point plus négatif, nous avons trouvé ça un peu cher pour la quantité de nourriture reçue, les portions n'étaient pas si grande & nous avons quand même trouvé ça dommage d'avoir à payer 4$ de plus pour avoir un accompagnement de riz avec notre repas de protéine.

Le service était bon, mais sans plus. Nous n'avions pas de serveur/serveuse attitré. À chacune des visites à notre table, c'était une personne différente qui venait nous voir. Nous avons demandé quelques minutes pour choisir le dessert, mais personne n'est revenu nous voir. Nous avons dû nous lever pour payer, même si nous avions notre facture & nos cartes sur la table. Le service des commis était meilleur que le service de la personne qui a pris notre commande. Le Pad Thaï était bon, mais le goût n'était pas authentique. À noter que curieusement, les plats de cari n'incluent pas le riz.

Great as usual! The service was stellar. So many options... duck (ped paulo) was amazing, & so was the mushroom appetizer. Always leave room for the fried banana because it is so good!

ChuChai is by far my favourite restaurant. Even if you are not vegan, don't miss out on this place! Every dish is so well done & so delicious. I highly recommend the breaded mushrooms (taste a little like chicken wings), the peanut sauce chicken skewers & the duck (hard to believe it's not real duck). Thanks for all the delicious food!
