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.

Très bon je conseil surtout les dumpling! L'ambiance est tranquille & les serveur très gentil. Par contre venir en transport en commun si possible car quasiment pas de parking après 18:00.

Staff seemed uninterested. Dumplings didn't taste like much but general tao was decent, nothing special. Ambiance was nice. Not worth the price.

Friday evening between 4 & 5 pm, there is practically no one. The ambiance was pretty fun. Cool music playing, lights are dimmed. It's really cozy. I went with my 12 year old daughter. She really enjoyed it. We only took appetizers, & it was plenty for us. The dumplings tasting platter is so delicious. The calmar & the tempura shrimp were really good, too. Rania was an amazing waitress. She was really attentive & very helpful.

On our transit to Quebec City, we stopped by here in Montreal as we were craving Asian food. Happy we chose this spot with lots of seatings available. Very friendly & fast service. We had the shrimp Tom Yum soup which was very good! The shrimp steamed dumplings were great, making it a two in two for our visit. The final item was the sautéed teriyaki shrimp wok which my wife really enjoyed. Finally had a mocktail called Chinese Medicine, which was strawberry, lemon & kombucha hibiscus, which was hit too. Thanks!

I came here in December & gave 5 stars. Everything was great. I went yesterday with a friend & it just wasn't the same. I ordered the veggie dumplings & they were very lacking in filling unlike the last time. The soup was also very lacking in vegetables. The service that had been super attentive last time, just didn't seem to be there. We had to ask many times for water & for hot water for the Jasmin tea after we'd already asked. It was all just a bit vague. We did have a lovely chat with a young waitress who seemed to have come in for the afternoon service & she was very pleasant so thank you but it's sad that this time it really was :-( & in December it was a big :-) I know there can be off days but it seemed as though every thing was off yesterday.

Excellent food. Pork & kimchi dumplings were delicious, as were wonton soup & peanut stir fry. Service was very friendly, although a bit slow. Outdoor seating was comfortable.

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.
