Overpriced. Wife & i ordered their lobster fried rice & a beef/shrimp noodles plate. The portions are not very big & the taste is average. We saw the pictures & wanted to give it a try but the value is not there.

The drinks & the bang bang shrimps were great! But the steak had more nerves than meat, I had to send my plate back. We were10 ladies & 8 of us had issues with the food. The service was quite long, I feel like the poor waitress was almost by herself. I wont be back.

Delphine was incredible. She was so kind & accommodating. The lychee martinis were delicious. The vibe in the restaurent was chic & contemporary, with an upbeat music curation. I highly recommend this restaurant for bang-bang shrimp. Delectable menu options in the Chinatown area! Definitely check out this restaurant for your Montreal experience.

Food & drinks were good but underwhelming, the atmosphere & vibes were great. I really enjoyed the bang bang shrimp, truffle fries, & the sticky ribs.

This wasn't an incredible experience. I will say that the decor & ambiance were pretty & enjoyable. Also, the service wasn't bad (but not necessarily great either). Only the food was much disappointing. Me & my friend ordered the fried rice shrimp, which wasn't tasty, kinda bland & the shrimp still had its shell, which made it difficult to eat. Another friend ordered the Udon noodles which was the best meal on our table, but still just regular udon. Someone also ordered a steak, which tasted regular & not too good too. My last friend got the Shanghai fried rice (I believe), & she didn't really like it as well. My take on this is to come if you don't really care how good your food tastes, & just want a pretty restaurant.

Ribs were tender but slathered in basic barbecue sauce & sesame seeds so not anything special. Beef & shrimp noodles were good but there was barely any beef, I did enjoy the garlic butterflied shrimp though. I enjoyed my baklava cheesecake. My Tokyo Ghost cocktail was good but the Japanese bedsheet was way too sour & cucumbery. The server was kind enough to fix it for me though.
Pretty decor, nice presentation, friendly accommodating service overall.
