Read the positive reviews & visited for dinner. Came away underwhelmed. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing great either. Everything we ordered was flat-line on taste & flavor. Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior & stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet & Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat & flavor), & rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived!
The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes & generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!
Came here after reading the reviews. The menu is large with plenty of options, & I chose the vegetable rolls. I also tried the cumin beef, which was spicy but can be adjusted if you ask. The rice was... The portion of beef was generous & tasted great. It was a bit oily for my taste, but overall the flavor was really good. The service was fast & welcoming.

We loved everything about this meal. Walked in & immediately seated for a week day lunch. We ordered pork belly, beef & broccoli, salt & pepper fish, & beef sautay. The food was so tasty, we will recommend to everyone. Feigang Fei (owner) was personable & made great food recommendations. Lovely overall experience.
Any time I am in Montreal, I order take out from here to my hotel. My most recent was on Monday where I ordered hot pepper with beef, salt & pepper fish fillet & seasonal vegetables in garlic sauce. Great dishes & generous portions. My daughter & boyfriend even had some & was more than enough for 3.
Me & 7 of my coworkers went for lunch. We shared the eggplant, kung pao chicken, cantonese noodles, spare ribs, cumin beef, twice cooked pork, & mapo tofu; they were all good!
Food, service, & atmosphere were 5 stars. Got the beef & broccoli + pork & shrimp fried rice, both were great, but the beef & broccoli exceeded all expectations. Prices were very good as well
Very good food in town, very reasonable price considering the downtown location. liked dry fried greenbeans, sweet & spicy eggplant, & broccoli with beef very much, not so much on the cumin beef & noodle salad though.
