Review Summary
Reviews consistently praise ChuChai for authentic Thai vegan fare with vibrant flavors and textures, highlighting the vegan duck, crispy mushrooms, peanut dumplings, Tom Yum, red and green curries, and mock chicken dishes served with peanut sauce as standout items; soups and noodles are also frequently recommended, and many diners note the food is delicious even for non-vegans. The atmosphere is described as cozy and welcoming, with minimal decor and a lively, friendly service that earns compliments for attentiveness and the ability to accommodate allergies. The staff often provide good recommendations and go the extra mile, and reservations via the website are mentioned as convenient; the dining experience is regarded as excellent value by many, though a few reviews call some dishes not perfect, occasional slow service when crowded, and a few items perceived as overpriced. Overall ChuChai is seen as a top vegan or vegetarian Thai option in Montreal, appealing to vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers alike, with strong consistency, bold flavors, and a place that many say they would return to and recommend.

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.

One of the best & authentic Thai food in Montreal. Their red curry & green curry are too good! I was dreaming about it 2 days after I had the food. Their vegan chicken skewers are amazing with ting of lemon! I recommend the place every single time. It gets really crowded in the summer, so call to reserve.

Went on a Friday evening. Sat at the bar as I was by myself. The staff is very nice & friendly. Cereal gave me recommendations for places to visit in Montreal!

I had the Tom Yum & the Crispy Duck. The Tom Yum lacked depth in flavors but the crispy duck was too good! I had never had something like this in vegan food before

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Montreal

Un des meilleurs restaurants vegan de Montréal selon moi. Les plats sont excellents & originaux. C'est incroyable la créativité que le monde végétal rend possible; un voyage pour les papilles. Le service est irréprochable.

Panang Neua Cari, Sticky rice, & red Spain wine;

I haven't tried this type of food with such tasteful, well-balanced ingredients, rich broth, & a long-lasting texture.

Chu Chai est une excellente représentation de la scène gastronomique à Montréal. Une ambiance minimale mais agréable, du bon service à la clientèle, & de la nourriture excellente à un prix raisonnable.

C'est un de mes nouveaux restaurants favoris & une recommendation facile à faire.

Chu Chai is an excellent representation of the restaurant scene in Montreal. A Lowkey but enjoyable vibe, good service, & excellent food at a reasonable price.

This instantly became one of my new favorite restaurants & it's an easy recommendation to make.

Yummy vegan thai food. The peking duck was really good so was the curry & the mushroom app.
The guy who looks like Slash was our waiter & he was super cool!

Amazing vegan Thai food for meat lovers! The faux beef & duck tasted like the real thing. Not to mention the curries & noodles which were made to culinary perfection. Would go back again & again.

The place was absolutely great. For a vegan place, there was a lot of food I thought were actually meat. We had the set menu & I'll definitely go back to try other combinations.

The staff was great & attentive.
