Panang Neua Cari, Sticky rice, & red Spain wine;

I haven't tried this type of food with such tasteful, well-balanced ingredients, rich broth, & a long-lasting texture.

Chu Chai est une excellente représentation de la scène gastronomique à Montréal. Une ambiance minimale mais agréable, du bon service à la clientèle, & de la nourriture excellente à un prix raisonnable.

C'est un de mes nouveaux restaurants favoris & une recommendation facile à faire.

Chu Chai is an excellent representation of the restaurant scene in Montreal. A Lowkey but enjoyable vibe, good service, & excellent food at a reasonable price.

This instantly became one of my new favorite restaurants & it's an easy recommendation to make.

The guy who looks like Slash was our waiter & he was super cool!

Amazing vegan Thai food for meat lovers! The faux beef & duck tasted like the real thing. Not to mention the curries & noodles which were made to culinary perfection. Would go back again & again.

The place was absolutely great. For a vegan place, there was a lot of food I thought were actually meat. We had the set menu & I'll definitely go back to try other combinations.

The staff was great & attentive.
