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.

Best restaurant I tried in MTL. I had several Thai & Vegan Thai food & this one is above most. each of the menu items look texture & flavour were on point. The beef fish & prawns are so creatively recreated in a plant based version.

Very lively restaurant (not very quiet or private) , service was top notch & friendly. I had the peanut butter dumplings & the fried spring rolls - both were delicious & hot, but I had the tofu with peanut sauce, crispy spinach & sticky rice was sub par. The tofu was soggy & flimsy, not enough peanut sauce & crispy spinach was tasteless. For the price per meal, I was definitely not impressed.

Visited without a reservation & were informed that we could be seated in a table but had 1 hour to order & eat our food. It gets really packed & can feel a bit loud. Food was delicious, I'm not a vegetarian & really enjoyed the experience. I had a vegan beef in yellow curry that tasted like real beef. Would definitely visit again, but next time I'll make a reservation.

Expérience incroyable!!! Nourriture excellente, euphorisante. Je ne suis vraiment pas « foodie » en temps normal! Mais j'ai vraiment trouvé ce restaurant tellement excellent que j'y pense sans cesse. Le cari vert était incroyable. Je recommande sans hésiter!

The food is amazing, as always. We've been coming to ChuChai periodically for 15 years. It had never failed to deliver. Even as someone who is not vegetarian & usually orders the duck, ChuChai's duck is good. It will be a little different, but not much & the flavors are great. Oh, just in case: there is no meat in any dishes. All meat analogs.

Kiao satay was delicious.Miam Kram could have been better, mostly a weird mix of textures, but not bad. My friend enjoyed his Pad Keemao. Panang Neua was delicious, with the rice noodles side order. Tapioca & coconut pieces dessert were a great combination & well presented. Le Tigre cocktail was smooth & a little spicy.

We didn't book a table so we got seated at the bar, we were very ok with that, but we could see a boiling kettle just in front of us, some dishrags standing there, & the decor was not really nice over there, you didn't feel like you were in a top rated vegan restaurant. The menus they gave us, both were in bad condition, deteriorated, & some prices were put on top of the oldest ones with stickers & pen, with not care regarding the color of the original menu, not giving a good impression. However, the food was great! We didn't have to wait. I ordered the Kari Neua & steamed rice, which were very tasty, & the portions were great. I couldn't order a dessert after that, but will come back soon to try one. Drinks were not great though, just "meh".

J'ai été agréablement surprise du goût de mon plat. C'était un pure délice !

J'ai commandé le plat PLA-KHING (poisson végétal à la vapeur avec sauce soja & gingembre), & c'était très délicieux ; j'ai beaucoup apprécié les saveurs fraîches & bien équilibrées. La portion était adéquate, ce que j'ai trouvé excellent. Je suggérerais juste de réduire un peu le gingembre pour qu'il ne domine pas trop les autres saveurs, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était une expérience excellente. De plus, le riz était très bon, & sa présentation dans un petit sac de paille était un détail charmant qui m'a transmis une sensation de fraîcheur & m'a fait penser à la Thaïlande. L'ambiance du restaurant m'a paru très agréable, chaleureuse & tranquille, bien qu'elle ait un aspect un peu "vide". Peut-être qu'il manquait de décoration, surtout avec plus de plantes, ce qui pourrait lui donner une touche plus accueillante. De plus, l'hôte & le serveur étaient très aimables & sympathiques, ce qui a ajouté à l'expérience. J'ai également commandé le cocktail'Thaijito', mais il ne m'a pas vraiment impressionné. Le verre était un peu petit, & je suggérerais de remplacer le citron artificiel par du jus de citron naturel pour rehausser encore plus les saveurs. Merci pour l'expérience !"
