Une super découverte vraiment je recommande les dumpling arachide & le canard !!
Testez leur cocktail qui sont vraiment bons
Un personnel vraiment agréable avec une jolie décoration.
Si je devez faire une remarque c'est sûrement pour le boeuf, la sauce peut être vite trop sucré malgré le riz, peut être rajouter des brocolis en plus des poivrons ou quelques chose de neutre pour balancer le sucré.
Vraiment merci pour ce nouveau favori

Loved our dinner at Chu Chai! The wait staff was great & I really enjoyed the food. We were 6 diners & it was perfect.

I think the Curry bowls were probably the best bet. I had the Pad Thai & it was good but could have used some veg as I used to get in non vegan ones before I was vegan (green onions & carrots).

Les repas étaient très bons & très créatifs. Les prix plus élevés que la moyenne pour le type de repas mais tout de même raisonnables. J'ai aimé mon Pad Thai & mon partenaire avait un très bon curry au canard. Par contre le désert, des bananes frites, n'était pas le meilleur. La croûte était salée.
