The Dan Dan noodles were savory & the handmade noodles were a delight. Would definitely order this again

The Pork intestines noodles was savory & there was a bit of numbing spice. As someone who doesn't like numbing spice, this was still enjoyable because it was just the right amount of numbing to still enjoy.

The chicken was juicy, savory-type of spicy & the sliced cucumbers underneath brings the perfect freshness to balance this dish.

I love the decor & the service was great!

We stopped here on vacation & got the spicy beef rice (pictured) & clear broth beef noodles. In the soup, the broth was delicious & the beef tender. The rice was a tasty blend of textures. My spouse said it was'what every rice bowl I've ever had wishes it could be!' It was already spicy & flavorful on its own, but I added some of the homemade chili oil & that was also incredible! I would come again if I lived nearby!

Very good Chinese restaurant with lots of delicious options, I would recommend the clay pot rice with spicy beef. The menu is also helpful as there are symbols next to each item, making it easy to tell whether the food is spicy or if it has certain ingredients like peanuts, beef, or chicken.

Nice Chinese restaurant. The beef & eggs stone pot rice is flavourful. It comes with a soup as well. Chicken rice with a lot of ginger on it. Personally i like ginger, so i dont mind. Appetizers are tasty especially the deep fried pork. Cold served spicy chicken is juicy.

After exploring around McGill University, I found this Chinese restaurant. I tried the cold beef & spicy kelp?both were authentic & delicious. The braised pork intestine noodles were also amazing, with rich marinade & a flavorful broth. The attentive service & cozy atmosphere were a big plus. Highly recommend!

Incredible food. Easily the best clay pot rice in Montreal I've had so far. So we split a spicy beef clay pot rice, a mushroom clay pot rice, a hainanese chicken rice & a shrimp fried rice, the set meals also came with a soup which was quite nice. The best in my opinion was the mushroom clay pot & the hainanese chicken rice, both kept me salivating between bites. The best treat though of course is the crispy rice at the bottom of the clay pots. Bro I'd fight the table for the last bite of that. 10/10 I'd go again, & order less rice dishes & try some of the other stuff on the menu like those dumplings, because damn they looked good too. Oh yeah, interior & atmosphere was great, bring a date here, cause it does feel swanky.

Great food & super friendly staff!

We ordered 3 dishes, & all of them taste exceptional. The century egg has a balanced flavour, the spicy chicken has a nice kick, & the pot rice is simply amazing.

Price is great for you get, very authentic!
