Reviews for Real Fruit Bubble Tea show a mix of experiences: a sugar taro sherbet large with no pearls was not thick as requested and ended up slushy, despite asking for less water; the diamond mango drink usually has real mango pieces, but this time the pieces were smaller. A note mentions morning opening hours as a worker arrives to open. Some diners praise the drinks as amazing and naturally made with real fruits, while an update notes that extra staff improved order flow even though there were fewer customers at the time.

Reviews of Restaurant Cuisine Cantonaise present a mixed picture: many diners praise flavorful Cantonese dishes, generous portions, fast service, and a casual atmosphere, with standouts such as orange chicken, steamed pork with salted egg yolk, pipa tofu, fried rice, dumplings, and hot pot, and some even calling it a reliable late night option in Chinatown. Yet cleanliness and maintenance are a frequent concern, with reports of poor hygiene, pests, odors, and outdated decor weighing on the experience. Quality can also vary, including complaints about underdone dumplings, overcooked duck, and dishes that taste microwaved or not prepared as expected, along with occasional misfired orders and limited English communication making complaints difficult. Despite these issues, staff are often described as friendly and attentive, portions are large, prices are reasonable, and the restaurant remains a popular pick for sharing meals and casual dining. The overall takeaway is that a meal here can be delicious and satisfying, but the experience may depend on day, dish, and expectations about cleanliness and service.View restaurant profile

The experience is clearly variable, with some visits delivering solid, flavorful items while others feel greasy, overly salty, or not fresh and hot. Cleanliness and service are inconsistent in several accounts, with some noting crowded conditions, bathrooms in need of attention, and the need for better dish rotation as the menu shifts since the pandemic.

Shuyi Tealicious receives praise for a wide selection and fast, reliable drinks that many consider delicious and refreshing, making it a frequent stop for bubble tea in Chinatown. It is seen as a benchmark for flavors, combinations, and consistency, though experiences vary by order. Negative notes include a taro ball drink with very little boba or toppings despite the photos, and a hot grass jelly drink that tasted medicinal after raisins were added. The mango pomelo sago is well liked, though medium sizes are sometimes unavailable and large cups come with higher pricing. The setup is pickup and leave with no seating or bathrooms, and reviews mention too much ice and the challenge of accessing the lid with a paper straw. Overall, Shuyi Tealicious is a popular quick option whose strengths are variety and speed, even as a few drinks disappoint or misrepresent what is shown in photos.View restaurant profile

Reviews of CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice highlight good tea and friendly staff, with an impression that it is worth a Chinatown detour for solid bubble tea and in some cases the best bubble tea in Canada. Service is noted as excellent, including a correction of a wrong order from another branch that left customers satisfied. Strawberry shakes with real fruit chunks are praised, while the mango shake sometimes has a tea aftertaste. Late night visits describe fresh tapioca pearls and well balanced drinks, with a popular choice of passionfruit green tea with boba and coconut jelly, ordered with less ice and regular sugar. Other points mention wishing for more boba, and grass jelly arriving in large chunks that require breaking. A taro classic bubble tea is seen as nice, and a French language note recommends the milk tea but mentions seating is limited.View restaurant profile

Reviewers describe Dragon Beard Candy as a nostalgic, labor intensive treat that draws people to Montreal's Chinatown, where watching sugar be pulled into hair like threads and wrapped around a nut and coconut filling becomes part of the experience.

Practical notes include a peanut inside the candy, so allergy awareness is advised, and the store accepts credit cards for convenience.
