What a great meal we had, we shared four plates among us which was perfect, we had the spicy chicken with bones, salt & pepper fish, Thai style rice & the sweet & spicy eggplant. All were amazing & at a great price; the eggplant was the overall favourite, so good & unique. The place is also very nice, looks recently renovated.
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!

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.
Beautiful little hole in the wall with all the yummy greasy food. The sweet & spicy pork strips were amazing. The flavor was perfect & I loved the texture of the bamboo shoots & other vegetables. I also ordered the sweet & spicy eggplant, which arrived disappointingly, swimming in a pool of flavorless oil. Still, though, I'll be back!
We had the spicy fish , Yangzhou fried rice & sautee vegetables. The fish was good & so were the sauté fresh vegetables. Portions are large so be careful when you order . The fried rice was delicious
Loved the care & poetics of the online descriptions. The Sichuan Spicy pot is incredible esp. if you love Sichuan pepper like me! Can't wait to come back to try everything.
We had the sweet & spicy tofu, seasonal mixed vegetables in garlic sauce, & hot & sour soup. All were excellent. Large portions. Owner came by & shared their story. We will go back.
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.
