This was our favorite place in Montreal! We went back twice & had different meals & it all was fantastic! The 5 Spice Duck, spicy noodles are amazing! The service & staff were attentive, knowledgeable & made our visits so enjoyable.

Server was very nice but the restaurant rules were a bit confusing, we were told it was a paced/multiple courses type place, then were asked if we wanted all the dishes at once instead.

Atmosphere was nice, not too loud, cool Asian decor, music was fun but sounded Latin rather than Asian (all good, just not themed).

Food was below my expectations for the price. Lamb skewers, wonton soup, spicy noodles, were all good food, but not good Chinese food. The flavor of the lamb & noodles specifically were missing the Asian spice style I'm used to. I was hoping for more Din Tai Fung style food.

What sealed the 3 star was not taking Amex, no reason not to do so in a major city while charging $100+ per table imho, not a small enough business to be skirting CC fees.

The 5-spice duck platter is a must-try here - it was delicious, flavourful, & incredibly tender. The portion size was also great for the price. We also tried the spicy noodles & sautéed vegetables, which were both very tasty & perfect for sharing. For dessert, we had the coconut, passion fruit, mango, & tapioca dessert, & it was amazing! Sweet, refreshing, & light - the perfect way to end the meal. The staff were very friendly, & we'll definitely be coming back.

Asian fusion with a focus on Chinese food. The 5 spice duck is a must order. Service is friendly & excellent. This place would easily be in my top recommendations for Montreal. Credit goes to my wife for bringing me here.

Modern Chinese cuisine that balances Asian influence with a modern flair. Chef Lee Andersen lives up to his reputation. The plates were nicely served. The service was excellent, & the ambiance was matched the food, traditional with a modern twist.

We had the following & have nothing negative to say:

- Devil's eggs
- Tofu dip, fresh roe, baby gem
- Wonton soup, shrimps, pork
- Sauted green, garlic, ginger, chili
- Whole sea bream, Sichuan sauce
- Sweet & sour eggplant, peanuts, bacon
- Green papaya salad, chili crisp
- Duck tartare, truffle, eggroll
- 5 spice duck platter
- Crispy chow mein, seafood, bacon
- Coconut, passion fruit, mango, tapioca

- (drink) Duck-fat Manhattan

Although every dish was very flavourful I think I would especially recommend the tofu dip, the 5 spice duck platter & the Crispy chow mein. The coconut tapioca dessert was excellent as well.
