This restaurant was the saving grace of our Montreal trip. We had been having a hard time finding good Vegetarian food until here. Service was an amazing, cozy atmosphere, packed restaurant. Food was very tasty, however portions of entrees were on the smaller side for price as well tofu & eggplant dish was simple in taste & technique compared to other places I've gotten it from. We got the dumpling in peanut sauce, le tiger cocktail, pad Thai & tofu & eggplant. I wanted to get the fried banana dessert but when asked the dessert selection it wasn't offered.

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?
