Prices are very reasonable for the food. I had the salt & pepper squid & chinese brocolli with garlic - both were excellent. The food came out very quickly, however the restaurant only had a select number of tables filled. Definitely a good hole in the wall type chinese joint.
J'aime ce restaurant où nous sommes toujours bien reçu.e.s & dont la nourriture est excellente. La qualité/prix est imbattable. J'y vais régulièrement.
Le serveur ne parlait pas français, c'était difficile de se comprendre pour la commande même si nous avons essayé de parler en anglais avec. Par contre, nous avions toujours de l'eau & les employés sur place venait souvent nous voir. La nourriture... ça dépendait du repas commandé, mais tout était correct. Ce n'est pas un coup de coeur, mais en prenant en considération les prix c'était très adéquat!
I've had a large seafood tofu soup, seafood chowmein, tofu with eggplant & beef with chinese brocoli. Their dishes are delicious dead serious. I used to go eat at this place many years ago in my twenties, & it hasn't changed at all! I have tried a lot of their dishes for many years & I was never disappointed. When I can't go to Chinatown because Im already downtown i go here Great fast service, tasty food, my go to place. update december 2024 went back again! food never disappoints! must-try their japanese tofu with eggplants…
Whenever my family & I are coming home from Montreal, we always make sure to stop in for lunch. It's a family favorite of ours. The food is always great, the place is a good sized restaurant. Huge shout-out to the manager Wayne for being a wonderful man/manager, who always remembers us.
The food was terrible. You could tell that the cook had used powder mixes to make the sauces, & the powder had not fully dissolved. It tasted flat & artificial. The "crispy noodles" in the Cantonese dish were burned at one end, & congealed at the other. The waiter was very slow & confused, forgot our table a couple of times, mixed up our order with another table. No attention to the drinking water, & we kept having to signal to ask for basic things that should have been on the table. Years ago, there was the Hong Kong House Chinese restaurant on St. Catherine Street West in downtown Montreal. It was excellent. The menu featured a selection of complete meals from soup to dessert & a free pot of tea. There is nothing like it any more. PM for example has only individual dishes. At about $15 a plate, it's hard to put any variety together to make a real family meal. & everything costs extra. Rice, soup, tea, & we didn't even get a fortune cookie or an almond cookie at the end! PM was long, slow, tedious, an unattractive atmosphere (an ugly restaurant), & finally, at the cash, when we paid in spite of the terrible food, we tried politely to mention it to the cashier who became extremely rude & yelled in our faces, which scared the kids. Didn't think of it till we were outside, or we'd have gone back to the table to scoop up the tip we had left. I wouldn't go there again. It's not "authentic" Chinese, either. It's pseudo-American Chinese. Also, they are supposed to have free wifi there, but it wasn't working.
