Been here a few times & it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the dishes are really flavorful & unique, but others can be kind of inconsistent or overly salty depending on what you order. Service was a bit rushed when we went. It's decent for a casual dinner, but with so many great options around, it's just okay.
When craving authentic Chinese food in Montreal, we decided to give this resto a go.
We had General Tao Orange Chicken (sweet but still crispy), Green beans (salty & spicy 🌶?) & Spicy Fish fillet (also salty & spicy).
All three dishes gone in no time. Happy Belly 😁
Service was friendly by the daughter & father. Must be a family business.
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!

Very friendly service - the waitress gave us a warm welcome. The dishes were cooked well, but my family felt every dish was just a tad too salty. We ordered the string beans, the stir fried udon, the pork belly, & a tofu dish. All dishes were cooked skillfully & the quality of ingredients was excellent - given that, if they can dial in the salt level it'll truly be a five star experience. We are a Chinese family.
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!
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.
