Service cool, ambiance décontractée, approche personnalisée, mais surtout une chef très inspirée, Lily Sirikittikul, dont le talent et la créativité la classent désormais parmi les grands de sa profession. Lily aurait-elle réinventé la cuisine thaïlandaise végétarienne ?
ChuChai recueille des avis unanimes sur une cuisine thaï vegan exceptionnelle, riche en saveurs et en textures, avec des plats phares tels que le canard vegan croustillant, les currys rouge et vert, le Tom Yum, des dumplings et des nouilles, servis dans un cadre cosy et décontracté; la nourriture est décrite comme excellente et souvent surprenante pour les omnivores, avec une impression de viande apportée par des substituts comme le canard ou le poulet vegan; le service est majoritairement chaleureux, attentif et efficace, et les recommandations du personnel sont souvent appréciées, malgré quelques critiques sur une certaine lenteur lorsque le restaurant est bondé ou sur le fait que certains plats aient évolué, devenant parfois moins croustillants ou plus basés sur du seitan; le rapport qualité-prix est perçu différemment selon les tables, certains trouvant les prix raisonnables pour une expérience vegan de haut niveau, d'autres le jugeant un peu élevé, et beaucoup soulignent l'importance de réserver car l'endroit peut être très fréquenté; dans l'ensemble, ChuChai est présentée comme l'une des meilleures adresses vegan à Montréal et une halte à recommander pour les amateurs de cuisine thaï, que l'on soit végétalien, végétarien ou carnivore curieux.
The tom yum soup was good the flavours were there , just a tad too salty for my liking . My friend had the squash soup which was good.
Tried the papaya & vermicelli salads . They weren't for me personally but my friend really enjoyed the vermicelli salad.
Now for the main dishes .
I had the beef curry which had deep & rich flavour but missing something however the star is the crispy duck my friend had it was delicious I wish I had gotten that. It was a 10/10 . Overall I'd say it was good but definitely netter out there but the service was top notch.
The'duck' texture & flavours were bang-on, & the papaya & green curry were also amazing. But really, I came to write about one of
the yummiest cocktails I've had to date (MK2). & the service? Awesome.

ChuChai is simply one of the best restaurants in the Plateau. I have brought friends, family, dates here, & everyone has been impressed. Everytime I come, I try something new, & am amazed by the rich flavour in every dish. Vegan or not, you will be satiated.
Wow just wow!!! The duck AMAZING!! The curry so good so fresh & the peanut butter chicken was crazy! Im not even vegetarian & if i could eat this for the rest of my life i would be more then ok with it!!!! More then ok!!!
One of the best & authentic Thai food in Montreal. Their red curry & green curry are too good! I was dreaming about it 2 days after I had the food. Their vegan chicken skewers are amazing with ting of lemon! I recommend the place every single time. It gets really crowded in the summer, so call to reserve.
Yummy vegan thai food. The peking duck was really good so was the curry & the mushroom app.
The guy who looks like Slash was our waiter & he was super cool!

Visited without a reservation & were informed that we could be seated in a table but had 1 hour to order & eat our food. It gets really packed & can feel a bit loud. Food was delicious, I'm not a vegetarian & really enjoyed the experience. I had a vegan beef in yellow curry that tasted like real beef. Would definitely visit again, but next time I'll make a reservation.
Woooow!!!! OMG quel voyage gustatif extraordinaire 🤤 On a TOUT adoré (& partagé lol)! Entrées: bouchées 5 saveurs Miam kram & salade poulet citron Salat gai. Repas: nouilles Pad Keemao & curry boeuf Panang Neua. J'étais curieuse de découvrir leur habileté à reproduire le poulet & le boeuf dans des mets & c'est réussi avev BRIO! On reviendra définitivement! 🤗💯
My family & I had a wonderful experience here. The food was super good & the decor was nice. I had the vegan duck red curry with sticky rice & it was delicious! Would recommend the fried shrimp appetizer as well.
we tried several items (tom yum, tom kha, papaya salad, peanut butter dumplings, pad kee mao, ped palo & red curry). the majority of the dishes were ok but our favourite was the pad palo (vegan duck). i've never had a dish like it before but it was amazing!! the pad kee mao was very good too. the service was extremely slow despite the table being reserved only for 2 hours. there were only 2 or 3 waiters & the restaurant was fully packed so it's understandable. our waitress was very patient & kind. 4.5/5 would definitely come back!

Always really good ; my go to are the MK starter & a MK2 drink, always love the padthai or curry coco as a main. The owner is really nice & she accepter to switch the main for the padthai in the table d'hôte menu cause they didn't have what I wanted. A must go for vegans
Just Wow. I had the beef curry with rice amd let me tell you that this was the best curry I ate. It was delicious well balanced & full of flavour. For the dessert my man had the cashew cream cake with black cherry sauce, it was creamy but light, not too sweet & really I am ditching the cheesecake this is my new favorite cake. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I will definitely come again soon.

As a non-vegan/vegetarian person, can say that this food does not disappoint in any way. Impressive the way the vegan meat is similar to real deal, & the dishes (like the sauce, curry) are kept close to what one would see in other restos.
Exceptional food quality & service! We tried the vegan shrimp appetizer, peanut dumplings, tofu fries, vegan duck curry & tapioca pudding - all were fabulous! Waiters/waitresses were super professional, kind & considerate & very swift. Best place for vegetarians in Montreal!
Incroyable comme chaque fois! Service rapide!
Je suggère les champignons frits épicés, les vermicelles su canard & les currys..wow!
Mes amis ont franchement été impressionné par le "canard" végétal. Merci!! À bientôt 😋
Loved our dinner at Chu Chai! The wait staff was great & I really enjoyed the food. We were 6 diners & it was perfect.
I think the Curry bowls were probably the best bet. I had the Pad Thai & it was good but could have used some veg as I used to get in non vegan ones before I was vegan (green onions & carrots).
Les repas étaient très bons & très créatifs. Les prix plus élevés que la moyenne pour le type de repas mais tout de même raisonnables. J'ai aimé mon Pad Thai & mon partenaire avait un très bon curry au canard. Par contre le désert, des bananes frites, n'était pas le meilleur. La croûte était salée.
