We came here with a big group of 20+ people, & everything was organized so well. The staff set up all the tables nicely before we arrived. The food was delicious & perfect for sharing with a big group. Service was super fast & friendly; even with 20 people, the first dishes came out in about 15 minutes, & then new hot dishes kept coming every 5-10 minutes. Everything was fresh, tasty, & hot. Prices are also very affordable for group dining. If you're planning to host a group party, I highly recommend this place. The only downside is that the room is quite small & cozy, so it can feel a bit tight when the group is large. Overall, totally worth it!

All the food is mouthwatering. Had 2 beef dishes & 1 eggplant dish. All delicious with unique flavours.
Best chinese (non dumpling, non-soup, non-americanized) food I had in Montreal.

We ordered braised pork with sweet potato noodles, general tao, ribs & a side of rice.
Braised pork with sweet potatoes noodles:
The noodles were very tasty but the braised porc lacked taste. The sauce had a watery sour taste almost bitter. I wish there were more noodles in the plate, there were about half a cup worth of noodles for maybe a cup & a half of meat. 2/10
General Tao: Very soft batter. The meat was good but there was not that much sauce. 6.5/10
Ribs: The sauce had a watery & sour taste almost bitter. 2/10
Rice: under salted. It might be a good thing if the side dishes are very flavourful but dishes we ordered were lacking flavour.
We ordered through Uber Eats & the ratings on our dishes were pretty high (90%+ with 700+ votes) so we're a bit surprised by the quality of the food we received. Maybe it was a one off.

A hidden gem! The owner was super helpful. You can see Videos & descriptions of the dishes

Fantastic food, decent prices, large servings. & an authentic familial atmosphere. Perfection.
Two dishes are usually enough for three people..

Ordered through DoorDash for the first time yesterday & was really impressed with the quality!
I don't usually go for veggie dishes, but they absolutely nailed every single one-especially the eggplant with potatoes, which became an instant favorite.
One note: I was hoping to try the fried pork after seeing so many great reviews, but it wasn't available on the delivery app. Not sure if that's intentional or just temporary, but since I rarely get to go downtown, I'd love to see it added to the delivery menu sometime soon!

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.

Really good! Nice portions, they do a v good job explaining what the dishes are before ordering, recommendations, likeability, etc.

The food was great & the service was friendly! The dishes were bigger than anticipated, so we ended up with too much food, but it was all excellent. Do read the comments in the online menu! They're funny & helpful if you're unfamiliar with the dishes.

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.

The owner is a really hard working & sincere person & makes an effort to meet with customers which is very nice. Overall the food is average at best but the offset is the price is not high either. Some dishes simply tasted off & it was a lot to do with their interpretation of how these dishes should taste & as a result, were not appealing to me as for example, general Tao tasted odd as did other dishes. What was safe was the wonton soup but I have to state that though this was light years away in quality & taste to La Perl or other amazing places this does fit a niche market. For those not looking for high or upper end food, plating, service, interior decor you are in the right place. & if you don't what to pay a high price - you're also in the right place. But in my opinion there are just so many other restaurant competing in this type of cuisine in & around Montreal, there are better places to spend your time & money. It's not a place I would go again or bring a date or family. But perhaps this is just me, perhaps my standards are too high? For me it's based on hundreds of experiences in eating this cuisine in places around the globe & locally. So it's up to you, try it & you may like it & the price, but if you're looking for something on an experience, a nice clean & modern atmosphere, & food that's made really well & recognizable - you may think elsewhere.

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.

I've eaten at Aunt Dai at least 25 times in the past 6 years or so. There are dishes I keep coming back to, like the excellent cumin beef, the spicy shrimps, the kung pao chicken & mapo tofu. In the past, everything was consistently delicious. But in the past two years or so, it has changed a bit. The grilled calamari, which used to be one of their best dishes, is now a total disappointment & has nothing to do with what it used to be. The last time we went, the mapo tofu was bland & uninteresting, while it was exceptional the time before that. My son chose the Singapour noodles, because he's used to eating them at home & he likes to eat what he knows. Frankly, they were barely edible; they were oversalted & bland & the noodles were way overcooked. We know that it's not an authentic Chinese dish & a little more on the bland side, but there still is the possibility to cook a nice version of it. So all in all, I used to be very confident in the dishes I ordered at Aunt Dai, but now, when I go, I'm always a bit worried that the dishes I order won't be as good as usual. Some effort should be put in making sure the different cooks deliver the same flavors.

Tasty Chinese dishes, nice staff, fast service, & very reasonable prices. We usually take a main dish, with a bowl of steamed rice, & then share a plate of sauté vegetable to share. & a bottle of saki to share. I recommend 2 side dishes toi absolutely try with your meal: dry-fried green beans, & eggplant dish.

I eat at Aunt Dai several times a year. The food & the service is top notch; I recommend going to eat at the restaurant in person, since they offer more dishes in house. The pricing & portions are reasonable, which is why I find myself coming back to this place repeatedly. My favourite dish is the fried fish in tomato sauce. It's always super light & crispy, & the sauce is a perfect mixture of sweet & savoury. If you like General Tao (which is also excellent at Aunt Dai), you'll love the fish with tomato sauce. A special shoutout to the owner & the team. They operate with a high degree of integrity & transparency; not only is this refreshing to see but is exemplified in the quality of their food. Hats off to Aunt Dai!
