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.

Perfect experience loved the small, simple wooden atmosphere, delicious Wontons, General Tao, & spring rolls. The service was amazing, with a short waiting time. I hope to come back one day!
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!
General Tao was good (not the best I have had but still quite good). The cumin beef was ok, but I wasn't blow away with a taste nor with their sour soup. The place was almost empty on Friday 8pm, which was a bit strange & didn't create a great vibe exactly.
This is a great find. Had Hot & Sour soup & Pad Thai, both were excellent. Staff & Chef were awesome & kind. Definitely returning here for lunches. Very reasonable also.

I don't know why this gets raves. It was barely passable. Hot & Sour soup had so much corn starch it was chewy & gooey. Ribs were tasteless as was the General Tsao. Maybe we are spoiled by Toronto Chinese food. Staff was great, however.
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.
Just do yourself a favour & literally order everything lol Cumin beef OMG General tao WOW The eggplant is great We were a big group & the service was amazing & all the food was perfectly timed, good job to everyone & see you again for sure!
