I have been probably 50 times at Aunt Dai. I never get tired of coming back. My wife lives it, my kids love it. The food is just too good: fresh & tasty. Highly recommended to anyone searching for Chinese cuisine in town
Food was OK. I think it's on the oily side & I know what chinese food, especially Szechuan is as I travel to Chengdu quite often. Lacking spiciness as well & I did pick the spicier dishes.

One of the nicest & most authentic Chinese places I've ever been to in downtown:) Located steps from Concordia metro/ St.Mathieu exit, the host & staff are very warm & welcoming to everyone. Been there with friends & we all loved the food. I had the Singapore noodles & they are so generous with the portion. Every dish is good & the owner posts the best reviews ever on the official website :) I have tried a lot of things on the menu & they never disappoint in terms of taste or service. I can definitely say Aunt Dai food has become my comfort food & comfort restaurant as there is always something to try on the menu or reorder your favorites :)
Have been going to Aunt Dai since it was in Cote des Neiges. The quality hasn't changed. Great portions & low prices compared to other authentic Chinese restaurants in the area.

Edit - response to owner's comments: I feel bad for leaving an unfavorable review so I'm sorry about that. I've eaten at Just Noodles (Masson & St Joseph) since 2005. I frequently order the big bowl of wonton soup as a meal. It's a big bowl of tasty chicken broth & you can taste a hint of MSG in the broth. You can taste the spices in the wontons & everything is tasty, even the noodles, which soak-in the tasty broth. There's NOTHING left in the bowl when I'm done :) They also make a FANTASTIC Cantonese Chow Mein on crispy noodles (sadly, it depends on who is chef though - it is sometimes very unremarkable). You clearly are a talented chef & as I said, my meal was clearly well-prepared & appetizing-looking. I think that as a mid fifties Canadian guy who has eaten "Chinese food" all my life, I'm used to MSG in my Asian cuisine. Honestly though, the imperial rolls weren't fully cooked. The wrappers were still a little mushy on the inside, which may have contributed to the off taste. I really wish I had tried your shuǐ zhǔ niú ròu. I assume that' VERY tasty but I always order Cantonese Chow Mein the first time I try an Asian resto. Original review: After reading so many glowing reviews, I was anxious to try this place. I came for a Sunday lunch & ordered wonton soup, imperial rolls & the cantonese chow mein. The soup was literally flavorless. The'broth' is just hot water, not even a drop of sesame oil. The wontons had no discernible taste, not even salt. Imperial rolls are easy to make! Everyone loves mine but here, they're equally bland. I didn't finish either of my appetizers. The chow mein was well-prepared, looked appetizing & did taste ok but I've concluded that the cook here is afraid of using spices. I drowned it in a bunch of sriracha sauce to give it some taste. Sadly, if this is what it's like there, I won't be going back.
The food is amazing here! Very authentic, tasty Chinese food with great portions. I've been twice & both times have been consistent, no matter what you order. The beef & broccoli has a light savoury flavour, & is not greasy at all with lots of crunchy fresh broccoli. The stir fried pork intestines come with onions, spicy green pepper, onions & carrots, & has a great spicy seasonings with numby peppercorns. The intestines are cooked & cleaned very well, no stinky flavours at all. The braised pork belly is always tender & flavourful, & the sweet potato noodles soak up the sauce very nicely. Each bowl of rice is only $1.50! All in all, very tasty & generous portions at affordable prices. Each dish ranges from $10-20 (even the seafood). Highly recommended, great for sharing dishes & family friendly environment.
Shout out to Aunt Dai who celebrated 10 years yesterday & surprised us with a free dinner! Our favourite Chinese food in Montreal. The best! Dry fried green beans & sweet & spicy eggplant, YUM!
