spicy(16) authentic(13) dishes(10) chinese(6) group(5) to go(4) price(4) fried(4) chicken(4) beans(3) eggplant(3) soup(3)Every dish was far too salty, with the green beans practically inedible. Pricey but large volume. Polite staff, but obviously habituated to transacting entirely in Mandarin, as they don't bother calling out seating reservation numbers in French or English.
Great contemporary Sichuan food, lively & open late. Best in Montreal. Laziji, hot & sour potato slivers & xianshaobai are highlights. Stick to the classics.
I recently tried Flame du Sichuan in Montreal after hearing a lot of hype about it, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing.
To start, we had to wait about 20 minutes outside just to be seated, which was already a bit frustrating. When we were finally brought in, we were seated right near the door, & every time it opened, cold air came in. I understand that restaurants get busy, especially popular ones, so this part was manageable, but it set the tone for the rest of the visit.
I was there with my family, & we specifically asked for non-spicy dishes. Despite that, the food that arrived was extremely spicy, to the point where it was difficult to eat & clearly not what we had requested. It felt like our request was ignored, which was disappointing given how clear we were when ordering.
The worst part of the experience, however, was related to food safety. I clearly told the staff that I am allergic to shrimp, yet when I started eating my stir-fried rice, my brother noticed a piece of shrimp in the dish. If he hadn't pointed it out in time, I could have ended up in the hospital. This is not a small mistake, it's a serious issue, especially for a restaurant that serves many customers with allergies.
Overall, the food was not worth the wait, the hype, or the price, & the lack of attention to dietary restrictions was extremely concerning. I was really hoping for a better experience, but sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant, especially to anyone with allergies or specific dietary needs.
Real trip! We had an experienced friend choosing dishes for us newbies in Sichuan. Ouch, i'm still not sure what happened, even if it actually happened, but i believw in tastebuds memories & this one is surely not going to fade out anytime soon.
Mouth-watering, almost out of body experience, special mention to the jacket baskets by the tables & of course:
the yuxiang eggplant, the chongqing chickend & the friendly service.
Amazing experience, came with our knowledgeable friend who knew the best dishes; my favourite was the yuxiang eggplant & lufa egg soup. Perfect level of spicy & very addictive flavors!
Very good food. Would definitely come back again. Very good quantities of food.
Amazing food with great service. Highly recommend. Large portions for a very reasonable price.
What a great discovery of a really tasty Chinese cuisine!
The authentic vibe & delicious food are worth the wait!
A must-try restaurant!
Amazing! So pleasantly surprised, it was excellent, delicious & gracious service. The 45 minutes wait for dinner was worth it. The place was crowded, the decor made us feel like we we were in the Province of Sichuan
We were a group of 6 on a Monday evening. Service was excellent & fast! I hear that this place has a long wait during the weekends so plan accordingly! They do not take reservations. This is truly authentic Sichuan cuisine & fair warning, some dishes are spicy 🌶? my favourite was the tomato & egg dish 😅 don't sleep on it! Generous portion for the price, even better when you can share as a group so you can try more.
The pea shoot & crispy pork soup was by far our favorite dish, followed by the green beans, though they were slightly over-seasoned. The remaining dishes were satisfactory overall; however, the meat portions felt somewhat parsimonious given the price point. The pork belly, in particular, lacked tenderness. Despite these shortcomings, the restaurant arguably represents the strongest addition to Montreal's Sichuan dining scene to date.
A very unique experience in the heart of Montreal. The portions are all shareable which gives it a wonderful, joyful meal experience for your friends & family!
Be mindful that most plates are very spicy 🔥 but there are some that are not.
Beef tripe & tofu was my favorite!!! The udon noodles also added a special touch to my meal!
Possibly the spiciest thing I've eaten in my entire life (my spicy tolerance is not very high). Overall it was really good & would go again to try out other dishes. The fish was a little bit too spicy & wouldn't get it again tbh. Came to line up at 12 & there was already quite a long lineup so try to come early if you don't want to wait long.
Excellent new Sichuan place. We asked for extremely spicy & they delivered. The wait is long but worth it. Will return!
Incredible taste that i've never tried in mtl. We came here few times & love it. At first they gave the lemon juice but no more. The food was amazing hitting with the flavour. I really love the fried tofu. Also the shredded potato is good too. Moreover the fried chicken with chilli is my favorite too. Big portion. When i went there, there was a lineup. Great services. Parking on the side of the street.
Looks like typical chinese restaurant, but more posh. Loved the rustic design. Food isn't quite authentic like in China, but delicious anyway. The place was packed, need to wait long time for the table, but it's totally worse it. You can choose the level of spiciness.
