La nourriture est excellente! C'est un véritable institution. Mais la salle à manger est extrêmement brouillante. Il faudrait mettre des installations pour régler le son c'est extrêmement difficile d'apprécier l'expérience

Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & c'était délicieux, les algues frites, la salade de mangue, brochette style poulet aux arachides &...le succulent tofu avec sauce du chef wow c'était délicieux & que le début, la soup Kim khà était très bonne & pas trop piquante puis, les repas principaux tous très bons mais notre coup de coeur était le faux canard miam & le dessert tapioca & lait de coco tout aussi subblime. Certainement que nous y retournerons mais il faut réserver idéalement car le restaurant était plein.

Très bonne cuisine & belles présentations. Agréablement surprise par le choix de plats & la diversité des aliments . Excellent rapport qualité /prix, Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute. Le seul petit bémol, 2 heures seulement sont allouées pour le repas, heureusement nous avons eu un petit privilège. Merci !

Tout était tres bon. Bon service, bonne nourriture. Point négatif: lorsque la porte de l'extérieure ouvre, il fait assez froid en hiver. Tres désagréable.

Love Chu Chai. Food is always amazing. Enjoyed myself however for the things I ordered I was full as I went alone, so I guess it's good to go with someone but I treated Myself. Definitely will recommend & go again.

La politique de deux heures pour manger est franchement désagréable, spécialement pour un groupe. Pas de bière sans alcool, pas de bière végan ( Heineken est vegan en passant ). Serveuse super gentille & attentionnée bonne nourriture. Un endroit à fréquenter mais pas en groupe vue le peu de tempsaloué.
