Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Sainte-Catherine Est. Nous avons passé un moment vraiment agréable & la qualité de la nourriture nous a impressionnés.

Les assiettes sont généreuses & colorées. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la fraîcheur des concombres tranchés qui accompagnaient mon plat, un petit détail qui fait toute la différence. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un repas simple & savoureux. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Pad Thai was great, but I felt like it was missing an extra punch! Pad Krapow was good. Paid extra for the fried egg as it wasn't included. It was unfortunately overcooked/not runny.

I wish the other noodle dishes were made with rice noodles instead of udon, which deters me from trying any of these dishes.

Overall a good restaurant adapted to its neighborhood.

Troisième fois que je mange ici. Toujours délicieux. Aliments frais, plats savoureux, portions généreuses, prix raisonnables. Cette fois j'ai essayé le poulet croustillant & je me suis régalée. Le riz frit est très satisfaisant aussi. Trop contente de vous avoir dans Hochelaga! Seul bémol: la propriétaire qui prend les commandes n'est pas super sympathique & semble avoir de la difficulté à sourire.
