First they don't have steamed dumplings & the fried ones are absolutely bad. I had a feeling the dumplings they served weren't fresh at all. My friend had a bellyache. I don't know what actually happened to their food I'm not about this. We won't be coming anymore for sure
One of the best food places in Montreal! The ambience, service, drinks, & quality of the food is top notch ✨ Felix gave us the best recommendations & service thank you!! I highly recommend the pork ribs, cucumber salad, cold noodles, & tbh all the stir fries were so flavorful & delicious!

This place is sooooo lowkey, such a gem. Or maybe i came at a quiet time. Everything was so good! I really enjoyed the pork ribs! They were so soft & tender! I highly recommend it!! & i will definitely come back & try the other items on the menu! Our waiter said the cod is really good so I'll definitely try that next time!

Quand j'ai envie de manger chinois c'est petit poisson bistrot. Nous étions 4 personnes ayant bon appétit & pour 205$ nous avons eu : 2 plats de poulet Kung Pao, 1 rib eyes sauté avec asperges, 1 pork ribs, 3 bols de riz, 8 brochettes, 2 plats de 12 dumplings , 2 Tiramisu & 2 petites carafe de saké!!!!! Service un peu lent mais je préfère attendre & avoir de bon plats , serveurs très courtois. N'hésitez pas à essayer. J'adore l'ambiance simple & accueillant ou on est pas rapidement poussé vers la porte. 🙂
I hadn't been here in years, found out they had rebranded in November. Got sat quickly around 10pm tonight (a Wednesday) as it wasn't very busy. The service was quite slow given the capacity, but the food arrived fairly quickly after ordering. We ordered the sesame salad, pork skewers & the beef onion dumplings. Unfortunately the beautiful decor & ambience of the restaurant didn't make up for the quality / taste of the food, but it does get an A+ for aesthetics.
