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.
This is a classic Chinese place. They're very authentic, with a good variety of plates. Service was very good. The food was great too, specially the General Tao chicken. But we shared all the food & everything was savoury.
Amazing food! Everything was above & beyond any expectation the Kung Pao chicken was phenomenal. Honestly feels like everything on the menu is a hit, the general Tao is the best I've had it manages to stay crispy while being covered in the sauce. The staff was also very friendly, 10/10 reccomend will be back!!
Me & 7 of my coworkers went for lunch. We shared the eggplant, kung pao chicken, cantonese noodles, spare ribs, cumin beef, twice cooked pork, & mapo tofu; they were all good!
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.
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.
