Toujours aussi délicieux après tant d'années d'opération. Les classiques figure toujours au menu en plus de nouvelles petites merveilles à découvrir. Bon appétit. Une valeur sûre le chu Chai.

Delicious & creative food, efficient service, clean & pleasant place. We loved every dish we had - crispy duck, appetizer, chicken with ginger & tapioca pudding. My only regret is that we didn't discover this place 15 years earlier:) Thank you

Après plus de 30 minutes sans même un serveur ou un seul regard, nous avons quitté.

L'invitée de la soirée a été accueillie de façon condescendante, le personnel l'ignorant dû à son âge & a dû elle-même demander un verre d'eau.

La serveuse passait devant nous, prenant bien soin de détourner le regard. Quel mépris de votre part!

Le restaurant s'était bien assuré de nous dire de partir à 19h30. Voilà comment on vous accueille & vous ignore chez Chuchai!

FUYEZ COMME LA PESTE , à moins que vous ne souhaitiez rater votre soirée.

Quand un établissement se croit anobli d'un droit de vous dénigrer à ce point, on voit à quel point que la passion est éteinte.

Aucun plat aussi savoureux puisse-t-il ne mérite ce genre de traitement.

Honteux!

Good food but too small portion for a man. Service was ok but wait awhile before I was able to order.

Très bon resto, mais aucun savoir-faire en matière de gestion des réservations. Trois fois nous avons laissé un message sur la boite vocale pour réserver en demandant une confirmation par retour d'appel, comme on nous y invitait d'ailleurs. Les trois fois on ne nous pas rappelés pour nous indiquer que le resto était complet.

My husband & I had a romantic & absolutely delectable 5-course Valentine's day supper here. Chuchai is my favourite Montreal restaurant. The food is exquisitely seasoned, beautifully presented & very creative. We shared our dishes selected from the Valentine's menu, which included: cocktails, mango salad, coconut base soup, rice, ''beef'' & ''chicken'' dishes, & dessert, to which we added wine. Service is pleasant, formal & attentive. I liked the art on the walls & the hip ambiance of St-Denis St. The only imperfection to an otherwise perfect meal was the front door, which allowed in a draft of cold air as people came & went--hopefully, in future the restaurant will have the entrance sealed-off from the winter air.

Le service sortait de l'ordinaire, notre serveur était vraiment sympathique & connaissait bien son menu, ses suggestions étaient très bonnes. Toute l'expérience était excellente, spécialement pour un resto vegan!
