Reviewers generally praise General Tao for generous portions, reasonable prices, and solid service, with several noting the General Tao chicken is crispy and flavorful and the tofu, dumplings, noodles, and vegetable dishes are tasty. Many diners highlight large portions and good value, and several say they would return for a full meal again and again. The service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, though some tables and decor feel a bit rustic or outdated and the place is modest rather than fancy. The food sometimes varies in quality, with some dishes being cooked well and crispy, while others are described as not as fresh, with sauce that lacks depth or chicken that is not crunchy. There are frequent mentions of staples like imperial rolls, fried rice, egg rolls, and veggie options being enjoyable, and several reviews call General Tao a solid or best choice for casual Asian dining and a popular local pick. Overall the sentiment is positive, highlighting hearty, satisfying meals at a good price, with clear recommendations to try it for a reliable General Tao and other dishes.
OMG, my husband & I went to this hidden gem of a restaurant it really nice inside & the hostess was very sweet. OK, I've been looking for the best General Tao in town & I think I found it, the sauce is amazing. I ordered the Singapore noodles & the peanut butter dumplings & I ordered another peanut butter dumpling because it was so good. My husband also ordered the chow mein, the flavour just popped. We are going back next week, can't stop thinking about the food. The staff were super nice, I hope to have Mary as our server, she was very pleasant.
Restaurant de quartier, la nourriture est généralement toujours de bonne qualité & les portions très généreuses. Le service est de base mais quand même correcte. Pour l'ambiance rien d'extra ordinaire, aurais besoin d'un petit coup de nettoyage ou remplacement des vieux tapis.

Very grateful that they do offer vegetarian options but their General Tao & Peanut Butter Tofu is just awful - so chewy it's impossible to eat. The sauce is good though...
General Tao was really good & the chicken was nice & crispy & not too spicy. Peanut butter dumplings were really good as well. Great spot to order from on a lazy Sunday night!
Très bonne place pour commander & manger à la maison en famille.
Très bonne nourriture & très bonnes quantité de choix.
On commande souvent les weekends.
I use to go there (Brossard) every week or so. The price, depending on what you get, can be affordable. As a vegetarian, I always took the general tofu & the peanut butter tofu, with there spring rolls. My girlfriend never liked the meat there, but the tofu dish is great. As a vegetarian, I can't talk for the meat part. To make a story short, never disappointed, till now. I went last Friday, with a friend that took me out for my birthday dinner. I ordered the same tofu dish, as usual, I thought they would know me by now, guess not. I got the Chicken general tao. & I almost eat it, but then I realized it was chicken. I called the manager, told him I had, as usual, never ordered chicken as I'm vegetarian, & he looked at me really annoyed, & told me I did. Told him I came here often & always ordered the tofu. Anyways, not sure if it is because it was busy or what, it is a small restaurant, but he didn't take back the chicken. So I ended up keeping the chicken dish, perhaps my girlfriend would want it, & told them that it was unacceptable & that it was going to be the last time I went there. You should never pay for something you never ordered. Ive learned my lesson. Never better served than by yourself, & eat home. I use to leave them 18 to 20% tip every time. Now, well no more. To bad, there tofu was great, but to get serve with that kind of attitude, no thanks. Still, I wish them luck with there business. Bottom lines is, avoid that place, cause you will eventually get disapointed. Oh, & keep also even more so away from there delivery, as they will for sure screw your order. Oh, & my girlfriend didn't eat the chicken, she really doesn't like it
