Guess what I ordered?
Hint: It wasn't a bowl of plain noodles.
I got a massive plate of rice noodles with bean sprouts & a grand total of three tiny pieces of meat.
When I asked the staff where the protein was, they told me'this is how it comes.'
To be fair, the noodles tasted decent, but they are absolutely not worth $15
Look, I know the restaurant business is hard right now.
If they need to charge extra for a proper portion of meat, I'm more than happy to pay for it.
But cutting corners like this is just unacceptable.
No frills, old school tasty Chinese food! Not the place to go if you're seeking a romantic, fancy night out. But if you want incredibly friendly service, fresh & well flavored food, & personal touches (hot tea, mochi dessert), this is an excellent option.

It has not changed ... 30+ years. The house special rice is as good as ever 😍 This rating is a bit overrated - from my nostalgia.
May 2023: the place has not changed much; some how the wonton soup & the special house rice (not on the menu any more) did not taste as good as I remember.
May 2026: interior refreshed; cute, friendly hostess/server fluent chinese/english/french; good house special rice (not in the menu).
Thank you for your continuing presence
The restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food is authentic, fresh & full of great flavour. Service is quick & staff are very friendly. Clean environment, great portion & reasonable price. Highly recommend, 5 stars all the way!
Ordered food for 8 people. Spent $166 on 10 dishes & 2 soups & it was maybe enough food for 4. Every tiny container was half empty. Also very mediocre food. Nothing special. Don't order takeout if you're hungry. Huge scam.
I have been coming here since I was 4 years old & I still think this is the best Chinese restaurant in Montreal. It's always fresh, generous & affordable. I crave the wonton soup regularly.
