This meal was incredible. The restaurant is fun & has a good ambiance inside. The service was quick! Our server Suf was incredible, she was on top of everything, very kind, & gave us great recommendations. She was a top notch server! As for the food, we were really impressed. We ate the tofu pad Thai, vegetable dumplings, & peanut sauce chicken wontons. The wontons & pad Thai were amazing! We wanted to go back the next night for dinner. Prices were also very reasonable.

Exactly what I was looking for: great asian food done right & a cosy atmosphere without the uptightness of a''fancy'' restaurant. The wonton soup is to die for, loved the General Tao chicken & the you must try the Red Curry Shrimp!!

It was fine but definatly not worth the price. Coconut broth was under seasoned, chicken karage was pink & underwhelming & the papaya salad was one of the worst I've had. The orange general taos tasted like it was made from concentrated orange syrup. The space & servers however are great!

Although a very nice relaxing atmosphere, the food quality was poor. I have the chicken pad see ew, & was disappointed in the hard texture of the noodles, the chicken was overcooked & the greens in the dish were a bit slimy. Would not recommend.

Food is overpriced & just not that great. The only thing we liked was the salmon tartare that was really good but everything else is subpar for the price you pay. The fried calamari was not super well cooked & the batter was not crispy at all The wonton soup was a bit too salty The dumpling skin was really thick The general Tao was wayyy too sweet & the peanut butter chicken wok was also extremely sweet. The service was good.

A great place to try the chicken Karage was awesome very tender & well seasoned, their creamy mayo sauce was very tasty as well as the small salad served on the side. However I felt portion served a bit too small there were only 3 piece of chicken for 23 cad

Me & my friends visited the place as it was recommended by a lot of people. We order Slushes & General Tao Chicken/ Orange Sauce Chicken. It was absolutely amazing!! The service was great & the staff was amazing. The owner of the store was there as well & offered us a complementary drink. Every one at the store were super nice. I recommend visiting the place if you are in Montreal.
