DJ is phenomenal. From the recommendations he gave to running my bag out when I left it at the restaurant (thank you so very much); this place is awesome. Food was delicious. Will be back, & will tell everyone I know that when they come to Montreal that they have to eat at Chu Chai. Thank you for the wonderful meal

Best vegan restaurant in Montreal! Followed the advice from other reviews & tried the mock duck with spinach which certainly did not disappoint. We also tried a mock chicken dish with peanut satay sauce & it was super tasty. 100% recommend the food here & the service was great too!

Des personnes rencontrés dans un autre restaurant vegan, qui eux même ne sont pas vegan, nous ont conseillé d'aller dîner ici, c'est dire qu'il fallait qu'on y aille ☺?
La carte est longue & les plats diversifiés. Tout se que nous avions pris était délicieux. Les vrais goûts de la cuisines thaï mais en version 100% vegan. Les plats spicy sont bien indiqués si nécessaire.
Une très bonne adresse.

Good food & friendly service.
We tried the server's recommendations; crispy duck & dumplings with peanut sauce. While they were not exceptional, we enjoyed them.
