Our group had an awesome dining experience at ChuChai. The staff was super friendly & attentive. We highly recommend Ped Palo (Highly recommend the crispy vegan duck) & Mangue & riz collant. This place hits all of the vibes - the decor, food & drinks. We will definitely come back again! Looking forward to trying other dishes.

Mon resto préféré. Le personnel est sympathique & professionnel. La bouffe est délicieuse. Jamais été déçu, une seule fois, de mes passages au ChuChai. Je recommande particulièrement, le canard au cari rouge.

En premier l'accueil, parfait avec une gentillesse & un professionnalisme hors-pair.
Ensuite la nourriture, qui était délicieuse (bravo pour le Pad Makere, épicé juste à la perfection)
Ca a été une formidable expérience culinaire & un merveilleux moment passé avec mes amis.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du ChuChai
