Located in a prime spot in Chinatown, this underground restaurant is always bustling with a crowd. The atmosphere is vibrant, & the staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. The food was quite good, though it took some time to get used to the unique flavors. Portions are very generous-almost too much. By the time I finished the appetizer, I was already feeling full. Despite that, I went on to try the Singaporean noodles, chicken fried rice, & assorted vegetables, which were all quite tasty. Given the popularity of the place, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to avoid the long queues.

The food here was so flavorful! I had the beef tripe, & the waiter made sure that I knew it wasn't an actual cut of beef (I did know, I've eaten it before, but I appreciate him making sure haha). The chow mein, chicken & potatoes, & fried rice were all great too. I've only had beef tripe twice, including this visit, but it's definitely the best out of the two that I've eaten. A great place in Quebec's Chinatown.

Used to be good, but not so much anymore. Chicken sauté had small pieces of bones in it. What was sold as pork was in fact mostly pork fat. My advice would be that there are too many menu options, it is hard to choose. They should concentrate on what they can do really well & reduce menu item count.

Hands down best Szechuan & Hunan cuisine in Montreal. Each dish is so flavourful. Service is also very friendly & helpful. Would recommend the Szechuan chicken bone in & hunan style beef & the green beans. Ugh, just amazing

Not sure about hype. Salt & pepper squid was soggy with no hot peppers & no salt. General Tsao chicken needed heat. Super fast service. Fine but certainly not worth the hype.

Tonight, me & my girlfriend ordered for takeout from this seeminglynice restaurant. Although, my plate was very good (well spiced, ingredients well picked), my girlfriend's plate not so much... She ordered a portion of SHRIMP with chicken & ribs. In total they were two shrimps, although rather large, & a couple already EMPTY...(leaving only the shell) Also the ribs were mostly bones with shreds of meat on it. I rate it a 3 for I still quite enjoyed my plate.
