Top notch restaurant experience, no compromises. It doesn't matter if it's vegetarian, it has to be one of the best dining experiences in Mexico City right now. The environment: industrial setting with a ton of outdoors eating space, the tables in the garden felt very intimate and private, and the main dining room had a more casual feeling. The menu is simple, but every dish is perfectly crafted (most other restaurants I've tried have a few dishes i liked, and a few that were average). Some of my favorites are: the mushroom paté, the eggplant milanese, and the avocado with kimchi. Their focaccia bread was to die for. The service was awesome. Our waiter, David and Chef Rodrigo made us feel right at home during our visit. They are also dog friendly!

My wife and I went to many, many places while we were here, and this place was really at the top of great places in Roma Norte. We had an avocado salad that was recommended and was pure perfection. It had a really unique cilantro lightness, not at all overbearing. I also got this grilled farmer’s cheese with a light sauce drizzled over which was completely new to me. I can only compare it to maybe fried paneer. We also got the eggplant which, again, perfectly cooked. Don’t miss this place, if you’re staying in Roma Norte, and especially if you’re a vegetarian.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is like eating in a beautiful garden. The service was fast, professional, and friendly. We came in for an appetizer and got the avocado w/ kimchi and tiger milk and an order of focaccia. The food was absolutely incredible with new and complex flavors. The bread was soft and spongy. We washed it all down with a cold beer. This place is a must, and I'm the furthest thing from a vegetarian. **** came back and second time***** Friendly service but pressure sells and I was asked if I want to tip 20%. Not professional at all. Got the mushroom w/ chimacurri sc, only 2 small delicious mushrooms for $10 usd. The street corn app was good as was the avocado app. Server forgot the foccocia but when it came it was delicious.

Phone couldn’t eat first because every single plate was delicious. And the service from Rocio is impeccable. She’s so sweet and she has helped us both times she has been here. We recommend the gnocchi special, the SWEET POTATO, the PEA and Broad beans, and the four cheese pizza is very good as well. Drinks are strong and made well. I also love the Salvaje mocktail. The cheesecake is also delicious and very unique because of the savory sauce that’s on top. Can’t recommend enough. Chef Rodrigo did his thing!

Our favorite restaurant in CDMX! The setting is open yet warm; fresh air and many plants. It rained while we ate and the sound of the rain on the roof was an added bonus. Exceptional food - not just for vegetarians or vegans, but for all people who love great food.

This is the 2nd time I come in less than 2 weeks! I loved the taste and their menu (if on the menu, get the shitakes!!). They grow their own veggies & mushrooms and it’s all wood cooked. Cocktails are also great! Prices are standard for the neighborhood.

Chui, the newest addition to the CDMX food scene, has an impressive and unique vegetarian menu, along with a stunning garden and a kitchen that blends into the dining area. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, the space had been abandoned for the longest time—but the interior is spectacular, making it quite a unique dining spot in CDMX. I was warmly greeted and seated in the main dining room, which felt cozy despite its grand and spacious area. We were given menus, and our drink orders were taken with an upsell on alcohol. It took a bit of time before our food order was taken. We decided on the grilled asparagus, the sweet potato plate, and the roasted chili pepper plate. We were also recommended to order focaccia to accompany our dishes (which, to our surprise, wasn’t complimentary). When we finally received it, it barely felt like enough and wasn’t worth the $50 price tag. The asparagus appetizer took quite a while to arrive, despite it being a slow Tuesday evening. The presentation was solid, and the taste matched—simple but nicely done. The topping that decorated the asparagus was unique yet tasty (8/10). The main plates arrived one by one (as we were told they were meant to be shared). The sweet potato plate was topped with a very delicious huancaína sauce that I couldn’t quite put into words, but it was definitely the standout of the dish. The rest of the ingredients were okay, but the sauce and the sweet potato were the stars of the dish (7.5/10). Next came the roasted chili peppers, which were stuffed in a way reminiscent of chile en nogada, complete with a bit of nogada sauce and pomegranate seeds. They were quite tasty, although the stuffing wasn’t my favorite (7/10). We saved some room for dessert and went with the roasted pineapple with a chocolate mousse infused with mezcal, strawberry, and somehow, avocado. Sadly, this was the biggest disappointment of the meal. Even when mixed properly (as we were advised to do), the flavors were just too overpowering. The mezcal dominated, making the dessert unenjoyable (5/10). While I appreciated the creativity and innovation in all the dishes, the dessert really missed the mark, and the limited dessert options were a letdown. Service was decent overall—we were given explanations of each dish and its ingredients, and the staff was friendly. Prices were fair for the area, but the portions were definitely designed for sharing and not particularly generous. I did leave feeling like I still had room for something else. Despite that, I thoroughly enjoyed the space, and their alcoholic menu was quite extensive, though we weren’t in the mood for drinks during our visit. Along with its grand ambiance, the menu packs creativity and uniqueness, making Chui an interesting addition to the Roma Norte neighborhood, even if not every dish completely hit the mark.

Very good experience and good flavors I was very surprised about this restaurant. Highly recommended.
