Bonjour, excellent service, par contre j'avais l'impression de manger plus un dessert qu'un repas (boeuf vegan sauce 3 saveurs), beaucoup, beaucoup trop sucré, pas assez de saveur, opinion personnelle, la musique était terrible, pire pop que j'ai entendu depuis longtemps & les voisins (pas de votre faute) on mis de la musique encore plus terrible encore plus fort, pas une très belle expérience

As a vegan who adores Thai food, I have always been fond of ChuChai. I have come by here a number of times over the years. There is a wonderful selection of mock meats & there are menu dishes that involve their wonderful peanut sauce. The food is tasty while not always consistent it is still a refreshing spot in a wonderful location (right on saint denis) for a meal.

Warning: This review comes from a non-vegan so I'm not sure how to review it.

We took the table d'hôte & it came in an abundance of food! I was quite happy to not feel disgusting even with dessert in the end. I was a huge fan of the papaya salad, the fresh spring roll, & my fried spinach peanut butter tofu ricr bowl! The fried banana dessert was the cherry on top.

Oh, don't forget to order their drinks, it's good!

Nous sommes des habitués depuis 20 ans! C'était notre moins bonne expérience. La table d'hôte proposait le "poisson" & c'était décevant comme goût & texture. L'entrée, salade de papaye, était ordinaire aussi. Heureusement, les 5 bouchées dégustation étaient toujours aussi savoureuses & le "canard" à volé le show! Avant, la table d'hôte incluait un thé ou dessert mais plus maintenant & c'est pourtant le même prix. Le prix de la table d'hôte est le même depuis plusieurs années mais elle offre moins de produits. Dommage!

Il y avait une odeur nauséabonde de temps en temps sur la terrasse. Autrement, tout était parfait. Yves
