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 est largement salué pour sa cuisine thaï végétalienne vibrante et inventive, avec de nombreux plats décrits comme savoureux et créatifs, en particulier le canard vegan et d'autres substituts qui imitent la texture de la viande, ainsi que des currys riches, des soupes parfumées et des raviolis savoureux; le service et l'ambiance sont souvent décrits comme accueillants et attentifs, et l'ensemble est perçu comme un bon rapport qualité-prix qui incite à revenir, bien que certaines critiques mentionnent parfois une salinité trop élevée, un service plus lent en période d'affluence et une certaine incohérence entre les plats.
Great service & so many options for food!!! You may get overwhelmed but I'm sure everything is delicious, you can't go wrong. The vegan duck was delicious. If you want to finish off with dessert, I recommend the fried banana 🍌🍌🍌
We love the restaurant & have been there several times. The food & the service are just excellent, there is no bad food choice because everything is delicious! That time we decided to take the menu (55$/person) & I honestly felt disappointed. I think it is very overpriced for the appetizers they give you (a small salad & just a tiny bite of the rest of them, just one dumpling, not even half a summer roll, a spoon of a vegan duck salad). So for this I don't think it's worth taking the menu. I would recommend either lowering the price (35-40$ seems reasonable) or giving a bigger quantity on the appetizers (really, the size was pretty ridiculous...). We will come back for sure, but we won't repeat the menu!

By far the best vegan Asian (Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese etc) restaurant I’ve ever been to. The favor profile was really good, every dish was curated to perfection. We did the ala carte option & had a couple starters, soup, noodles & two dishes & everything was great! Their service was also real good, they accommodated our group of 6. Needless to say, I will be back 😋
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.
Bonjour, excellent service, par contre j'avais l'impression de manger plus un dessert qu'un repas (boeuf vegan sauce 3 saveurs), beaucoup, beaucoup trop sucré, pas assez de saveur, opinion personnelle, la musique était terrible, pire pop que j'ai entendu depuis longtemps & les voisins (pas de votre faute) on mis de la musique encore plus terrible encore plus fort, pas une très belle expérience
As a vegan who adores Thai food, I have always been fond of ChuChai. I have come by here a number of times over the years. There is a wonderful selection of mock meats & there are menu dishes that involve their wonderful peanut sauce. The food is tasty while not always consistent it is still a refreshing spot in a wonderful location (right on saint denis) for a meal.
Warning: This review comes from a non-vegan so I'm not sure how to review it.
We took the table d'hôte & it came in an abundance of food! I was quite happy to not feel disgusting even with dessert in the end. I was a huge fan of the papaya salad, the fresh spring roll, & my fried spinach peanut butter tofu ricr bowl! The fried banana dessert was the cherry on top.
Oh, don't forget to order their drinks, it's good!
Our group had an awesome dining experience at ChuChai. The staff was super friendly & attentive. We highly recommend Ped Palo (Highly recommend the crispy vegan duck) & Mangue & riz collant. This place hits all of the vibes - the decor, food & drinks. We will definitely come back again! Looking forward to trying other dishes.

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!
Absolutely delicious. Great quality, fresh & authentic food. Great for vegans & omni's because it is so delicious you don't need to be vegan to enjoy this.
The food was amazing, & the service was 10/10! The restaurant was packed, which is something I love to see with vegan restaurants, & the service was probably the best I have ever had. I ordered a dish that had vegan duck, something I've wanted to try for years now, & I was not let down, the food was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal.

Great food, from the entre to the dessert! They also have gluten free options. Was able to accommodate easily for vegan & gluten free dishes. Love the ambiance as well. This is my 2nd time coming here, & I plan on coming again. Great job!
ChuChai is by far my favourite restaurant. Even if you are not vegan, don't miss out on this place! Every dish is so well done & so delicious. I highly recommend the breaded mushrooms (taste a little like chicken wings), the peanut sauce chicken skewers & the duck (hard to believe it's not real duck). Thanks for all the delicious food!
