Fantastic food, good prices, friendly staff. I had dumplings with peanut sauce as an entree and for main dish I had the panang curry with crispy seitan and they were both delicious. My only negative comment concerns the pandan cake I had for dessert, which was a bit dry and the pandan taste was very faint.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in town—probably the most authentic vegetarian Thai food I’ve found. Every dish strikes that perfect balance of bold yet fresh flavours—vibrant, memorable, and absolutely delicious. The papaya salad, Nam Kao, Guay-Teow Ped, and Kao Kra Pao are standouts and truly exceptional. My only small note: the Nam Kao could use a bit more lettuce for wrapping, or slightly larger outer romaine leaves. Sometimes it’s served with the inner romaine heart leaves, which don’t work as well.

Service was very good. But food was overpriced for the very small portions and not-so-great taste

This place is incredible. Really kind staff and really really good food. Came with my partner two times during our trip. anything off the menu is incredible but specifically the vegan duck soup is otherworldly. Enjoy!

We were there twice this week on our visit to Montreal. The food was so delicious and comforting, the vegan duck soup was our favorite. The service was also amazing and so welcoming. We look forward to coming back on our next visit.

What can I say… everything from Chai-Yo is delicious, flavorful and bold!!! Absolutely love every item on their menu. They have great lunch deals too, and yummy iced coffee. Perfect for vegans and non vegans alike! Must try in MTL.

The reviews did not lie! We were so excited to try Chai Yo, and our expectations were blown out of the water. The peanut sauce on the dumplings was one-of-a-kind and their vegan duck was magical. The place itself was beautiful—one of the walls was covered in childrens' illustrations and it brought out the family feel in a special way. Our server was also very kind and attentive. Looking forward to coming back (and also trying ChuChai)!
