Ouf quelle expérience décevante. Le gérant devrait vraiment accompagner ces employés inexpérimentés les jours de semaine (nous étions là un mardi) J'ai vu au moins 4 tables partir à cause qu'ils attendaient leurs verres depuis 15 min... Après 1 mois à l'emploi, la barmaid ne savait toujours pas faire les cocktails de la carte ni même déboucher une bouteille de vin.. on a demandé à goûter le Prosecco en voulant acheter la bouteille & elle nous l'a servi chaud... elle a expliqué par après qu'il n'avait aucune bouteille au froid. Mais pourquoi nous l'avoir fait goûter Les edamame sont servi avec du sel seulement... (il faudrait l'indiquer dans le menu car dans un resto de ce genre, on s'entends à un minium, soit une sauce asiatique quelconque...) Salade de papaye ordinaire vinaigré. On avait faim mais on a rien commandé de plus vu le temps d'attente malgré un restaurant vide & la pauvre qualité de ce qu'on avait goûté. Je suis désolé de faire une critique aussi négative, mais ayant travaillé plus de 10 ans en restauration, j'espère que ce sera pour les propriétaires un wake-up to pour être plus présent auprès de leurs employés.

It took a while to get the food. I had the same experience at St Bruno, not sure why

Randomly parked my car infront of the restaurant, saw the menu & we were sold! Had 2 pad Thai's one beef, one shrimp, kids General Tao poutine & shrimp tempura! Kids also had sesame ice cream. THEY LOVED IT! Service was fast & efficient. Ambiance was clean & very nice looking will definitely go back!

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!

Superbe expérience culinaire, les portions étaient parfaites, j'étais rassasié sans me sentir trop lourde à la sortie. L'ambiance était très bien, musique pas trop forte, bon espace entre les tables. Personnel courtois, on demander pour les allergies. Nous avons pu profiter de notre soirée, bel espace entre les plats, pas de sentiment de devoir quitter pour un 2ieme service. Je recommande & je reviendrai.

It took about 30 minutes to get our food (just a noodle dish, salad, & a soup) & there was only one other table of two so it's not like they were very busy. Once the food was ready, two out of 3 of us got our food while the other waited longer. Our water never got refilled either. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they are maybe newer staff. The redeeming factors for me was the drinks were good & there are vegan options.
