Review Summary

Reviews of Sammi & Soupe Dumpling consistently praise the dumplings for flavor and freshness, with many calling the pork xiao long bao and other varieties among Montreal's best; the setting is described as clean, cozy, and modern, sometimes with a bright, welcoming vibe and even a pleasant terrace.

Pierrefonds-Roxboro

Chinese Grill Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

Reviews of Peking Garden Restaurant present a mixed picture: the food is often delicious with large portions and meals arriving piping hot, and the staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating to requests such as no onions or other substitutions.

A few negative notes include a report of rude service from a very young server and a rare cleanliness concern involving a rat, while other diners feel that certain dishes like general tsao and beef and broccoli could be overly salty or lack depth. Despite the variability, many families return for dependable Cantonese fare and a welcoming atmosphere, appreciating the overall experience even if opinions vary and improvements could be made.View restaurant profile

Ramen Chinese Soups

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Nouilles de Lan Zhou as a place with fresh hand-pulled noodles in several thicknesses, rich broths, and standout dishes like beef noodle soup and a notably spicy cucumber side; portions are generous, and bowls feel hearty, with the weekend soup and the vegetarian combo getting particular praise. One note mentions sadness about a closing, while others highlight that a newer location holds up to the original, with similar quality and better flow.

Accessibility for mobility-impaired guests is mentioned as lacking in some reviews. Diners should be mindful that chili oil can contain peanuts. While a few dishes are described as only okay, many emphasize the noodles' chew and the broth's depth and consider the place worth a visit or even a repeat stop.View restaurant profile

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge

Chinatown

Chinese Szechuan Breakfast

Review Summary

Rubis Rouge - Red Ruby Rouge draws mixed reactions from diners in Montreal, ranging from authentic Cantonese dim sum with cart service and generous portions to complaints about inconsistent taste, with some items like dumplings praised while others such as fried calamari are cold or bland. Several reviews note a pleasant, spacious, family friendly atmosphere and values that are as affordable as they seem, while service quality varies from warm and efficient to slow or gruff, sometimes adding charm but at times causing frustration. Menu information and billing can be confusing for non-French speakers, and one experience mentioned a mischarged order with shellfish and a push to tip, prompting caution about paying cash versus card. Yet many diners still call it one of the best budget friendly spots for dim sum in Chinatown, with nostalgia for the traditional cart service and frequent praise for specific dishes like sesame balls, chicken with garlic bok choy, and other favorites, and several long time visitors say the quality remains solid over the years. Overall, it feels like a classic, sometimes inconsistent but generally hearty option for authentic Chinese dim sum and Cantonese style dishes, best experienced with flexible expectations about service and menu details.View restaurant profile
