What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Chu Chai, and a few call it a favourite. Diners say the food is really good, with one commenter raving about the house-made tofu shrimp and another, who does not usually care for curry, was won over by its curry. Several commenters count it among vegan-friendly spots, and a few call it Thai. One commenter advises skipping it for Chai-Yo, which they call much better.
