Stumbled upon this place on the way to our hotel. We ordered the steak, duck, green veggies, garlic fried rice, & mapo tofu. The steak was cooked well with this sauce that tastes like an elevated Chinese black pepper sauce. The duck was a different from Peking duck but familiar as it had a lot of different sauces to pair the duck with. We were impressed with the pate mouse that came with it. The leafy greens were cooked with charred notes that made it unique. Garlic fried rice was flavourful & flawless. We would go back just to eat the rice. The mapo tofu was what I was really excited about but it lost a point cuz it was too salty & not too different from what you can get in Toronto.

Overall experience was excellent & we will go here the next time we go to Montreal

Not huge portions but good to share, mapo tofu a bit spicy but nothing crazy. Great service & environment, food pretty good but I'm just not crazy about it.

Came here on an unsuspecting Tuesday night & was pleasantly surprised by not only the food but the excellent service. Our waitress (whose name I regrettably did not ask :( ) was so kind & attentive, even though she was the only one for the night & it was fairly busy she did a fantastic job. The Litchi martini & house beer was excellent as well as our starters! We loved the fried rice & mapo tofu as well. Super cute date spot

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.

Great music, great service, great food.

Nice moody vibe with low lighting. Amazing dishes all around.

We ordered the duck platter, the mapo tofu & the lamb skewers. Everything just melts in your mouth!

Bring your friends, dishes are great to share (& you can split the bill)

Definitely recommend
