Review Summary

ChuChai is widely praised for vibrant vegan Thai cuisine, with many dishes described as flavorful and inventive, especially the vegan duck and other meat substitutes that mimic traditional textures, along with rich curries, fragrant soups, and tasty dumplings; service and atmosphere are frequently highlighted as welcoming and attentive, and the overall value is considered good, prompting repeat visits, though a few notes mention occasional saltiness, slower service when crowded, and some inconsistency across dishes.

DJ is phenomenal. From the recommendations he gave to running my bag out when I left it at the restaurant (thank you so very much); this place is awesome. Food was delicious. Will be back, & will tell everyone I know that when they come to Montreal that they have to eat at Chu Chai. Thank you for the wonderful meal

Best vegan restaurant in Montreal! Followed the advice from other reviews & tried the mock duck with spinach which certainly did not disappoint. We also tried a mock chicken dish with peanut satay sauce & it was super tasty. 100% recommend the food here & the service was great too!

Des personnes rencontrés dans un autre restaurant vegan, qui eux même ne sont pas vegan, nous ont conseillé d'aller dîner ici, c'est dire qu'il fallait qu'on y aille ☺?
La carte est longue & les plats diversifiés. Tout se que nous avions pris était délicieux. Les vrais goûts de la cuisines thaï mais en version 100% vegan. Les plats spicy sont bien indiqués si nécessaire.
Une très bonne adresse.

Good food & friendly service.
We tried the server's recommendations; crispy duck & dumplings with peanut sauce. While they were not exceptional, we enjoyed them.

La nourriture & l'accueil furent sans reproche. Nos papilles ont fait un voyage merveilleux grâce à la cuisine unique & éxotique. Recommander pour végétaliens ou curieux de bonnes tables.

Surévalué mais quand même bon selon moi. Dog friendly sur la terrasse!!
Végétarienne, je ne suis pas une habituée des restos véganes mais j'aime essayer de nouvelles chose donc why not coconut. Le service est super efficace & sympathique, on ne vous presse pas pour manger vite & partir même sur la terrasse, c'est apprécié.
La description des plats est alléchante, avec du poulet & de crevettes véganes. Hahahaha. C'est du tofu qu'on a vaguement coupé en lanière lol. Donc le pad thai royal, c'est des nouilles avec du tofu coupé de façon différente. C'est pas mauvais, mais ça reste un plat de nouilles au tofu avec rien de royal pantoute. Les boissons alcoolisées sont chères, une demi-carafe de vin blanc est 35$. J'ai pris le cocktail MK2 avec alcool mais je ne crois pas qu'il y avait même une once d'alcool dedans. 4 gorgées de liquide dans un verre de glaçons, 14$. Ça goûtait le jus, rien de spécial.
J'ai adoré les dumplings sauce arachides, & le plat de « canard » de mon amie avait l'air délicieux & c'est son plat préféré quand elle y va, comme bien des clients selon ce que j'ai remarqué sur les tables alentour.
Facture pour entrée, plat principal, un cocktail & une bière, plus le tip: 63$. Donc les prix sont raisonnables sans alcool.
C'est pas mal si on passe dans le coin mais je ne ferais pas une heure de transports en commun pour y aller.

We didn't have a reservation, the restaurant was full, but we were accommodated despite. There are only good things I can say about this place. Food A1, service A1, Staff very welcoming. Didn't think vegan would ever taste good. A lot more outside of the usual potato dish

Really vegan good food!! But the dining service was pretty slow/kinda chaotic at 60-75% full.

Honestly one of my favourite vegan restaurants. I love everything on the menu, so tasty & delicious. I brought my meat lovers, & they LOVED everything we had, they said that it tasted very very good & they would go again.
I recommend this restaurant to anyone, meat lovers, vegetarian, vegans etc… you won't be disappointed.
Service was excellent too, the atmosphere is welcoming, a must try if you're in the area 🙌🏽

Some of the most flavourful food in all of Montreal. Well worth a detour or even visiting the city just to try it.
