I had to update my review after recent changes.

I have been coming here for the last 5 years for their incredible specialty fish stew. It was the centerpiece of the menu, but they recently changed it, & now it is hidden among other options & tastes substantially worse

It's like half the flavor was removed & replaced with cheap chicken stock, the flavor clash it jarring

I hope they bring the old recipe back

The vegetarian mapo tofu was amazing ! The salt n pepper chicken was lacking though & very dry. Would try other things though ! Nice drinks !

My friends & I enjoyed our noodle soup. The broth was so delicious. It's tangy with a slight citrusy, spicy taste. For the meat, I had the crunchy chicken bites. It was super good. Our server who was also the cashier was very nice & attentive.

Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a while! Crispy, light, & not greasy. The wait staff were super nice & helpful!

Delicious & piping hot! Spicy chicken was perfectly crisp. Eggplant was soooo good &, we all loved the pickled mustard green fried rice! Wow, a must stop in china town. My favorite so far.

Such a sweet & welcoming environment. Food was 10/10 - I had the general tao chicken with a taro soy oolong tea. Highly suggest stopping by here during your walk down this street-- NOTABLE MENTION: it was 12 of us & we were out by the hour. Incredible

I was planning to eat at the Jade Buffet, but it's closed for 2 months, so I went across the street to La Belle Epicee. There was a sign advertising dishes for $14, so I chose the spicy chicken dish. There was an option to add 2 spring rolls & a drink for $4, so I did that. The spring rolls were the tiniest spring rolls I have ever seen! & the drink came in a can & it wasn't cold, so that was disappointing. The main dish was pretty good, but not that filling because the portion size was a little small. I was still starving after I had finished, so I went to the nearby Burger King & got a Junior Whopper trio to fill me up. My meal prior to the Burger King visit, including tax & a 15% tip, came to $23.72. If Jade Buffet had been open, I could have eaten as much as I wanted for only $1.28 more.

I enjoyed my extra spicy General Tao's chicken & egg roll combo, food was very fresh & the sauce & spicy were very flavorful & authentic . Service was fast, food was hot, excellent choice & affordable. I will return when in Montreal.

The portion size is pretty weak especially for the General Tao chicken - you do not get what's in the picture. Fish says walleye, but it's not. Soup noodles are good, & the $3 drinks are well priced. The Sichuan food is pretty authentic.

I visited this restaurant on a Monday evening because it was one of the few Chinese places without a long wait. I am Chinese myself, though Cantonese, & perhaps that is why the flavors here did not fully match what I was craving. This restaurant serves more Taiwanese style dishes, so the taste is different from the Cantonese food I usually enjoy. We had already eaten pho earlier in the trip & wanted something different, so we decided to give this place a try after reading some reviews.

I ordered the General Tao chicken special for $12.99, which came with two spring rolls, a bowl of rice, & the main dish. Online the photos make the portion look larger, but in reality it was an average serving size that could really only feed one person. The taste was fine but not something I found appealing, & I could not finish it. We also shared the fried tofu appetizer, which came in a small portion with a sauce that was somewhere between sweet & sour. The flavor combination was not what I expected & threw me off.

The Hong Kong style milk tea was a pleasant surprise. At $2.99 it was inexpensive & tasted authentic. The service was also very good. Our waitress was polite, attentive, & very friendly which made the experience more positive. While we were dining, I also noticed a Quebec family come in, look at the menu for a bit, & then leave shortly after. That gave me the impression that perhaps the food style here may not suit everyone's taste.

The total for two people was about $41, which is fair for a sit down dinner. Unfortunately I did not feel well after the meal & went back to my hotel to rest for the night. Overall, I would say this restaurant is decent but not exceptional. The pricing & service were good, but the flavors & portions were not what I hoped for. If you enjoy Taiwanese style cooking, you may appreciate it more, but for me it was simply an average experience.
