At Faat Panda, reviews describe very good and fresh tasting food with flavorful sauces and crunchy breading and solid portion sizes, though one visit noted undercooked broccoli, gooey dumplings, and a dry General Panda dish, which felt disappointing. Others mention traveling a distance to visit is worthwhile when accompanied by good company at a lively spot with varied choices and tasty dishes. Positive notes highlight a warm welcome from the owner, friendly service, and the sense of variety when ordering different items. Shrimp is cited as a favorite by several, there is a kids area for birthday parties, and a piano is available for playing and singing with friends. Overall the place is recommended for West Island residents and Chinese food fans, balancing tasty food, a welcoming atmosphere, and options for gatherings.View restaurant profile

La Pataterie is described in reviews as a friendly, clean place with warm service and a reputation for excellent smoked meat and poutines.
