I mean, I really didn't have high expectations so that in itself made for an okay experience. We got the Canto noodles, fried rice, mixed veggies & dumplings. The dumplings were a huge disappointment as they were underdone & tasteless. The problem is they are so packed & don't speak the best english so making a complaint isnt even worth it.
The food also felt microwaved because usually hot food from the pan you can tell is steaming but when things are microwaved the heat is trapped underneath & in the middle so the steam doesn't rise. Again, not the end of the world but not good either.
The mixed veggies & fried rice were the saving grace here because the Canto noodles were not good until I put some soy sauce in. Otherwise, a forgettable place & I am sure there are some better options around selling the same type of food with better service & quality.
In typical Chinese restaurant fashion, you need to signal the server when you want attention. They don't come over & ask if you need anything. The fried seafood platter was a hit, as were the stir fried greens. & the hot & sour soup. Really, everything we ordered was good. Also head down the street to get some Dragon Beard Candy afterwards.
Was open late somehow, had the boeuf à l'orange, an eggplant dish & fried rice, all excellent & really hit the spot. Very nice staff, welcoming & accomodating. The place is good, doesn't deserve bad reviews IMHO.
Service was good. They have clay pot dishes. What's left in the clay pot, pour a cup of hot water & make rice soup. The fried bitter gourd still have the bitter taste. Some may like the fried bitter gourd. I just never like the bitterness.
A good Cantonese chef is definitely not afraid of fire. Very good at making the "beef fried with ho-fen ". Suggestion: Invite your cantonese friend to access the best parts of their extensive menu.
Tasty food! Came here just shy of midnight as I hadn't gotten dinner earlier & there weren't that many options open nearby. I asked the owner & they noted that they were open until 1:30am everyday. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. 15% tip is added automatically (manual calculation by hand); I'm not sure whether or not this is a bad thing - I guess an alternative view is to make your tip worth it by requiring good service throughout. To address some of the other reviews, service was alright but there's definitely some bias at play. The restaurant is a little grittier which is consistent with most restaurants in the area. The Chinese style of carpet laid restaurant flooring doesn't lend itself towards easy upkeep unfortunately.
Visiting Montreal from Mississauga & decided to go to Chinatown for a small meal. Went at around 7 PM so it was quite busy, but we were luckily able to find a seat right away. We ordered fried pork intestines, a veggie dish & crispy pigeon. The fried pork intestines had nice flavour & a nice crispy exterior. The veggie dish was flavourful & they gave a huge portion. Only downside was that it was a bit tough. The crispy pigeon was delicious as it has a nice crunch to it, it tasted like a combination of duck & pork. All in all the food was good & veggie portion was massive. One major con is that the meat dishes were a bit small in portion size & the price was expensive for what you get. But a good experience overall for my first restaurant while visiting Montreal.
I have ordered many times from this place because they have a large crab asparagus soup. I don't know if it is really crab, but I like it, & it really hits the spot when you need a warm soup & a light meal. It deserves four stars. I tried many other dishes, the lemon chicken, which I really liked until I found one that blew it away. So say 4 stars as well, but really 3. However, it non-fried chicken dishes, I did not like their chicken meat. In beef dishes, I did not like their beef. I tried the steamed shrimp dumpling as a started, & that was perfect; 5 stars. But the hunan dumplings were tasteless, 2 or 3 stars. I will continue ordering when I really need that soup, with that dumpling. But on average, it really is average.
