Restaurant offers a menu which is good value. However, the servers often try to upsell by suggesting alternatives to what you intended to order. These may be a similar dish which may not be on the menu but the servers do no tell you that their suggestion is multiple times the price of the original order. You feel scammed when paying. I will no longer be patronizing this restaurant.

Did not expect to find one of the best Seafood restaurant in this little commercial place. There is only one small restroom here for about max 50 clients. This place has minimum decor & you will sit right on the wood seats of old chairs. Despite all, you will not regret to have a chance to try very special seafood meals in Brossard. For those who loves to drive six hours long to find the best seafood restaurant in Toronto, save yourself a trip & let me know how you love this restaurant.

This is a great authentic Chinese resto... set seafood meal for 10 costs around 500, but amazing quality.

The food was good & all the dishes came out around the same time. Unlike a previous reviewer, I did not notice any over saltiness in the food. I'm giving the food rating a 4 star since the taste is more or less the same as their competitors in the area The service is where they should improve. 1) when ordering, the waiter was constantly trying to upsell us. Despite telling her we wanted some simple, she acted like she was getting a sales commission. 2) unlike their nearby competitors, the dishes were served in smaller plates or larger plates that were only 70% full. It was very noticeable & puzzling since the ingredients in our dishes were not expensive. 3) they calculate tips on top of tax. The government is clamping down on this shortly & I hope they stop soon. 4) I asked if they had complementary dessert, they said yes. Minutes later, 1/2 a small bowl of red bean dessert was served & we were all supposed to share it In summary, on the surface, this looks like a family style restaurant, you want to help to be successful. The food was on par but, the portion size could be larger. However, multiple hints of greed & cost cutting erases any nostalgic feeling one might have from eating at a smaller family restaurant.

All the dishes taste okay, but they are a bit on the salty side. The flavors are not as good as what the Google reviews suggest. Probably because there are not many great Cantonese restaurants in Montreal, this place can still survive here. However, if this restaurant were to open in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, I think it would struggle to stay in business due to the high competition in the Cantonese restaurant scene in Ontario. The prices here are also relatively high compared to other restaurants. The service is not very good, to be honest. The waitress was quite pushy in recommending seafood dishes, even though we had already said two or three times that we were not ready or weren't interested at the moment. She still insisted on pushing the dishes she wanted us to order. While I do see that this restaurant has quite a few customers, I personally wouldn't come back again, especially since it's quite far from downtown. If I lived nearby, maybe I would, but I wouldn't recommend it as highly as the Google reviews do.
