Review Summary

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge serves classic Cantonese dim sum with cart service and generous portions at approachable prices, drawing praise for authentic flavors, variety, and a spacious, family friendly setting, but reviews also flag inconsistency in taste and timing, with some dishes described as fresh and tasty and others as bland or cold, and service ranging from warm and attentive to slow or curt.

Chinatown, Downtown

Chinese Asian Breakfast

Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Chez Chine as high quality and professional, with a menu that blends Chinese characteristic dishes with delicacies from Hong Kong and Macao, and an impressive fish fillet cooked in wine that helps create an enjoyable dining experience. The staff are described as very nice and the food as delicious, with the ambiance enhanced by viewing fish in the water as children watch them. Appreciation for child friendly service is noted. The decor is beautiful and the value for money is excellent, with vegetables cooked to perfection and a courteous, attentive server contributing to strong service. Positive notes tend to reference dinner rather than breakfast, which is described as mediocre and overpriced, with cold and aloof service, undercooked potatoes, watery coffee, and dry flavorless French toast. Some reviews feel the restaurant is undervalued, and the overall flavor profile and fish emphasis stand out.View restaurant profile

Korean BBQ Sushi Asian

Mentioned in: Where to Eat the Best Korean BBQ in Montreal

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Kalbi BBQ as a lively all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in Montreal with a strong appeal for meat lovers and groups, thanks to the table grills, broad menu, and playful robot servers, and many praise the friendly service and vibrant atmosphere. The concept of ordering by phone and the overall value when fully utilized are frequent positives, with many noting the quality and variety of meats, sushi options, and other sides. However, several comments point to higher prices for certain items and the fact that some staples like lettuce, desserts, and some sides are not included in the all-you-can-eat, along with occasional menu changes and shortages. A number of reviews mention long waits on weekends or during peak hours and mention that the space can feel loud or smoky, with ventilation sometimes criticized. Some guests feel the experience leans toward fusion rather than authentic Korean BBQ and advise reservations to avoid lines, while many still say they would return for the fun, tasty food, and the sense of novelty the concept provides.View restaurant profile
