The menu replicates traditional meat-based textures and flavors, offering items such as crispy mock duck, aromatic red curry, and savory stir-fries infused with authentic spices. This establishment maintains a commitment to replicating iconic dishes while strictly adhering to a vegan philosophy.

The interior provides a relaxed atmosphere suitable for exploring plant-based interpretations of Southeast Asian staples. Every dish demonstrates meticulous preparation, ensuring that each component contributes to a balanced and flavorful experience that challenges conventional perceptions of meat-free eating while delivering substantial, satisfying portions that honor the culinary traditions of Thailand.

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.
