Chuch is one of the things I miss most about Montreal.
The mock meat is the best I've had in Canada. I highly recommend trying the peanut mock chicken and the red curry mock duck. They're absolutely to die for and the service tends to be reasonably quick and courteous.
I know it seems expensive (it is, a little) but it's totally worth it! -

Chuchai et Chuch is the express version of their restaurant Chuchai. The food here is mediocre to say the least. Pony up the money and just go to their regular restaurant instead (located right next door), You food is a lot better there and cooked to order rather than heated up in a microwave.
Been here a couple of times, and although it's nice if you're on the go, it's just not worth it in terms of the quality of the food.Listed in: Mock Meat

A disappointment. While there are extensive vegan options that look, sound, and smell truly amazing, Chuch simply does not deliver the goods. The "large" (CAN 10$) was anything but--it is filling, but only because of the high quantity of oil. And that's just kind of disgusting.
Despite the fact that the food was decently flavored, I was incredibly underwhelmed with my experience here, especially after being told it was one of the best vegan spots in the city. That couldn't be further from the truth. I'd say it is, without a doubt, hugely overrated. Here's the deal: the food is all reheated in a microwave; it's expensive for the portion (and for being, well, microwaved); and while the flavors vary from average to quite good, the dishes are all dripping with grease. It tasted good initially, but it left me feeling kind of gross.
The more veggie places I tried in this wonderful city, the less I liked my meal at Chuch. The food is fine, at best, and with all of the other phenomenal restaurants within walking distance--the vastly superior Le Faim du Monde is right next door--I can't think of a reason to eat here. -

Something about microwaving each dish really bugs me.
Alex S. said it in 2008 and most of what he said rings true with me 2 years (and several visits) later. The flavours can be pretty tasty if it's not one of the plates dripping in grease, and if you're really stuck for a vegetarian lunch in the area, you can take a chance on their daily lunch special. Otherwise, for what it is, I do find it pretty overpriced.
Maybe eating-in is the key - the dining room is lovely for a decent place to catch-up with old friends over a weekday lunch. But overall, I much prefer either of the two other restaurants serving asian mock meat on St-Denis (one at Sherbrooke and one right above Maryanne). -

I'm not a vegetarian, nor do I particularly enjoy trying different meats. I decided on one of the duck entrée, since I probably wouldn't try real duck any time soon. I also ordered a fish cake appetizer and brown rice.
I enjoyed the fish cakes, which tasted like salmon cakes and were served with a cucumber salad. The duck was spicy and tasted how I would expect duck to taste (or maybe as I remember as a child).
Service was excellent, even though I only spoke English in a French speaking city.
