Reviews of Presotea show a mixed picture: some customers in Montreal's Chinatown report terrible service and double charges, suggesting the store should be shut down, while others praise the drinks for freshness and flavor, with mango and fruit drinks highlighted as particularly enjoyable. Positive notes include fresh ingredients, tea brewed to order, and refreshing options that feel healthier than many bubble teas, along with generous portions for larger sizes. However, some critiques point to a small, cramped space that makes waiting uncomfortable, and a few complaints mention too much sugar in the fruit drinks and an unpleasant tapioca texture in one case. Overall, the offerings are described as tasty and refreshing, especially for mango lovers, but service quality and store size appear to vary by visit.View restaurant profile

Reviews of Pouletto Restaurant present a mixed picture, with the chicken described as tasty and crispy while service and communication issues frequently overshadow the meal. One account details very poor service, no greeting from a young staff member thought to be the owner's son, no thank you after paying, and a tense moment over condiments as the guest, who does not speak French, struggled to be understood; the wrong drink was brought and corrected after an English request, and the garlicky mayonnaise was tasted at the table. The owner reportedly blamed language barriers for the missteps, and the encounter left the guests unlikely to return. Yet the chicken is praised for frying promptly once ordered, the fries are considered good, and some mark the chicken as possibly the best grilled in Montreal, though the portion experienced was fried and lacked flavor. Overall, clients note solid poultry and fries but uneven service and communication issues that can affect the dining experience.View restaurant profile

Les Crazy Chickens is described in the reviews as delivering delicious, crispy fried chicken with a light coating and juicy texture, a good range of sauces, and friendly, attentive service in a cute setting. Many mentions highlight the chicken as among the best fried chicken they've had recently, with generous portions and appealing sides and sandwiches. A few comments point out downsides, including tiny chicken pieces for some orders and one tasteless burger with extra charges for sauce, which tempered the experience for those customers. A festival tasting note mentions overcooked chicken but strong flavors in the spicy garlic sauce, while others compare the Korean style as fresh and homemade compared to American fried chicken. Overall the sentiment is largely positive, with praise for flavor, freshness, and service, alongside occasional concerns about value and portion size.View restaurant profile
