J'ai amené une amie végétarienne à ce resto que je savais survivante du massacre de la rue St-Denis & de la pandémie & j'ai adoré. On n'a pris que des Thaipas & c'était vraiment fun, on a pu goûter à 6 plats différents, vraiment tous différents, aucune répétition en saveurs. Je suggère à tous de toujours partager les plats pour optimiser une expérience au resto puisqu'on y va pas si souvent pis qu'on ne peut jamais critiquer un resto à partir d'un seul plat mangé. Les cocktails étaient étonnamment bons, ils complémentent bien les plats thai. J'ai pris 3 drinks! Le staff était vraiment gentil & le service était bon. J'y reviendrai. Très différents des autres restos asiatiques & pas cher pour l'expérience! On retrouve pas ça ailleurs.

Excellent restaurant ....& it's vegan!!!!
One person in our party was not vegan but absolutely loved everything he ate. He said he was definitely going to come back with other non vegan friends.
All the mock meats were just delicious. In fact, we all very much enjoyed every dish we ordered. FYI, we ordered around 24 items from starters to dessert.... No drinks except a hot ginger tea.
It's on the pricier side but well worth it especially when sharing your meal with wonderful company.
Oh & the service & ambiance was GREAT too!
Food is top notch! I've been going to ChuChai for years & am never disappointed. I would highly recommend. The menu is superb & they have some really great cocktails to compliment.
Had a great date night. Delicious food, boyfriend did not miss meat & was super excited about his first time at ChuChai. Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere, reasonable wine list. 5 out of 5!
It's my second time going to ChuChai & the food is always really good & with beautiful presentations. Our waiter was very nice, informative, attentive & helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant.
This was my first visit & we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. All of the dishes were excellent & service was attentive. I would recommend this restaurant & look forward to dining there again.
Excellente nourriture, service amical & efficace & expérience merveilleuse dans l'ensemble.
La nourriture de ChuChai est toujours créative & délicieuse. Notre groupe a partagé plusieurs entrées & les portions étaient parfaites pour nous permettre à tous de goûter un peu à tout. Vous devez absolument essayer l'apéritif Miam Kram - c'est une délicieuse explosion de saveurs dans la bouche. Le Kiao Satay, le Kiao Tod & le Waan Krob étaient également délicieux.
Pour notre plat principal, nous avons essayer le canard végétalien, le poulet végétalien à la sauce aux arachides avec des épinards croustillants & un excellent plat au curry accompagné d'un délicieux Chianti végétalien. Nous avons tous nettoyé nos assiettes . . & avons réussi à trouver un tout petit peu de place pour le gâteau au fromage pour le dessert.
