Not impressed. I haven't eaten hear in almost 20 years. Food in Montreal is declining but I figure this is expensive but reliable.

Why did I just order shrimp & lobster on Uber Eats sauce for $25 & it doesn't come with rice?? ($40 after taxes & tips)

Just a container with nothing to pour it on. Everyone has gotten so greedy. I shouldn't have to cook rice to eat my food! Very displeased with this nonsense.

Fantastic food at low price, great for families with tables for 8-10. The atmosphere is simple dining, nothing pretentious as it is all about dining.

Some of the best Chinese I've ever had. Fairly priced for the quality, 45per person with lots of leftovers. Plenty of options on the menu, we went with hunan/peanut butter dumplings, spring rolls, sesame beef, Cantonese chow mein, & shrimp in lobster sauce. Quality of the shrimp was fantastic, lobster sauce was delish poured over rice & noodles. Sesame beef was so tasty large pieces with good coating that is not too thickz Everything came out piping hot & the service was extremely attentive. Will come again for sure

Mary & her team are always wonderful to be greeted by & told about some of the specials that they are making. We started with the Hot & Sour Soup that can be had with it w/o pork if you're on a vegetarian diet. The two (2) of us had not tried the Ginger Lobster which is one of their signature dishes; as the lobsters are typically 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pounds max & at $59.95 it is a pricey dish. But since we have not ordered it in over a year we dove in. The two (2) lobsters were closer to 1 1/4 lbs & well prepared but we remembered the ginger totally coating the shell & we found this lacking in our order - albeit the lobsters were delish. Instead of a Baby Bok Choy vegetable side, we were advised to try the Snow Pea Leaves that were to be lightly sautéed & seasoned with garlic. The dish did not disappoint. We decided against ordering their wonderful fried rice as we felt it would be too much & were right. All in all another very nice dining experience that makes us travel from the West Island of Montreal (+30 minutes at least) to enjoy the best Chinese Food in the city.'Do-Shay' To Mary & her highly attentive Staff!

Flavour-less. Egg Rolls are disastrous. Best thing was the salty Cantonese Chow Mein
