A very fancy vegetarian restaurant with an award-winning chef and waiters in uniform. What is there not to like?
I am a meat eater and was bewildered by how much the "fake" meat products resembled reality. I found every dish to be delicious, although there are a few caveats.
The "award-winning appetizer", whichever name it goes by, consists of four leaves on which rest four small scoops of delicious veggie goodness. Yet as you chew down on the leafy morsel you begin to wonder whether your mouth's contents are worth $2.50 a bite. Stick to the fried dumplings and the love-bags. Whoever wrote the menu needs to get laid.
The portions are OK, although they tend toward the French (small) rather than the American side. But this is a good way to actually flavor everything that went into preparing the dish, and the chef is definitely worth his money.
If you are a meat-eater, pass on this place. If paper tablecloths feel cheap to you, pass. (I qualify under both statements).
But if you are a devout vegetablist ChuChai will be a really good find.
