I am not vegan/vegetarian. Party of 6. Ordered a bunch of apps/mains for sharing. All of the food was EXCELLENT. Family owned. Very personable. Great service (timing, plating, etc). I'm from the States but will gladly come back to ChuChai when back in Montreal.

Waouh ! Végan +++ Quelle carte, quel choix, quelle présentation ! C'est trop bon & le service est très sympathique :-) (Seul petit bémol, salle un peu bruyante)
My favourite vegan restaurant in montreal. By far the best vegan Thai food you will ever have! Delicious peanut butter dumplings & 3 flavours (imitation) beef. Soy (Imitation) duck with spinach is also delicious! An absolute must try if you haven't been yet!
Je suis venue plusieurs fois manger à chaque fois le même plat : Ped Palo - Crispy vegan duck. Incroyablement délicieux ! L'imitation du canard est très réussie !
We got the Thai Princess drink, dumplings in peanut sauce (Kiao satay), the vegan chicken skewers (Gai Satay), the vegan beef in 3 flavor sauce (Neua Sam Rod), the eggplant & vegan shrimp (koung pad makere). I would recommend the Gai Satay & the Neua Sam Rod, it was really flavorful & the vegan beef had a nice crispy texture. I'm personally not a fan of the shrimp texture, which was probably made with konjac jelly. I've been here before & tried the crispy vegan duck & would highly recommend it as well. The ambience is really cozy & chic. The staff is really friendly & explained all the dishes we were curious about. I would visit again!
As a lacto ovo vegetarian, vegan restaurants are a special haven for me, given that I can order anything & everything, no holds barred. I had the spring rolls & pad Thai & I have to say this was just some of the best Thai food & vegan food that I've had. It was a good omen from the get-go. My mom & I didn't have reservations (albeit we did walk in after 8pm on Saturday eve) & we were seated right away. Staff were extremely friendly & attentive without being over-bearing. The spring rolls weren't fried & were wrapped in rice paper (this was a plus for me as I'm always trying for healthier options). Although the rolls were cold, they came with a warm peanut sauce. We ended the night with the vegan cheesecake & I can honestly say we were left feeling light, well-fed, & full of endorphins! Highly recommend!
ChuChai was absolutely amazing! Everything was fantastic. The food was incredible, the staff were excellent, & the atmosphere was lovely. This was one of the best meals I've ever had, & one of the best restaurant experiences. I will definitely go back to Montreal just to go to ChuChai!
Really high-quality vegan Thai fusion cuisine just up the street from Momo. The duck is freaky good. The service is always good but can often be understaffed & slow at the times we've visited. Atmosphere is clean & nice but very tight & loud during busy hours. Chuchai should join the Christian Ventura empire.
Best vegetarian food ever & I am not a vegetarian. Food went beyond my expectations. Everything was delicious, the fried dumplings were amazing so was the pad thai & duck. I also found it fairly priced
