My mother is 90 wanted to go down memory lane so we got some take out today. I was hesitant from some of the reviews that I had read ,but decided to give them a chance
Chicken chow mein was nice, garlic spareribs nice,pineapple chicken was a nice surprise as most restaurants put a tiny piece of chicken & then a ton of batter like a golf ball. This was prepared really nice in the sauce & pineapple. Egg rolls nice. General Tao chicken was also tasty but not in the black bean sause. Must be some interpretation of the dish but still tasted really good chicken fried rice was good, not much chicken though. Only down side & it seems to be a common theme with many restaurants, portions a lot smaller than they used to be. If you take the dinner for 2 etc, remember they charge extra for the soup. Hot & sour soup was tasty.
I would go back & I would recommend this restaurant. I used to go there all the time in the 80s & they keep the place clean. Staff is courteous. Last thought : for everyone that had some issue with the staff other order, it's really not nice to make stories about horrible service or getting sick from food. This restaurant has been around for decades & taking swipes at the staff & chef is immature.
J'adore cet endroit très bonne nourriture & très bon service amical Je recommande le poulet il est délicieux c'est un très bon restaurant pour à decouvri
This is the place to go if you want some good Montréal chinese food. Recommend the general tao & the spare rib sauce is to die for. Plus the young man working the front is pretty cute....tarique I think? ;)
Ordered for the first time here last night. While the quality of the food is good, the prices simply cannot be justified. $150 for 3 people. There were 7 pieces of general tao...7. The beef & chicken dishes were cold & had to be microwaved. Meals don't come with soup included like many other places. Will not be ordering from here again & I honestly cannot say I would recommend it to others based solely on the price they charge for small portions.
I had long heard about the supposed resurrection of the iconic Yangtze restaurant, I greatly looked forward to a takeout meal here.
To be clear, this was a takeout. I found the restaurant clean & quiet. The takeout order went without a hitch.
Some have said the the portions were tiny for the price, I could not agree more. At $34 plus tax for a takeout for two ( the website said $32 ), I found it very expensive.
They give you 3 egg rolls per person, presumably because the takeout does not include the won-ton soup. I found the egg rolls to be the best part of the meal, the skins were flawlessly fried to a golden brown, & the filling was tasty & had good texture. My wife thought the egg rolls lacked on the pork inside the filling, but I thought overall the taste made up for this.
The chow mein was ordinary, & a bit too watery. The rice was ok, but way too small. The pineapple chicken was a nice red color & decent, but I counted about 8 small pieces of breaded chicken, WAY too small for a supposed meal for two. The dry garlic ribs were closer to a portion of 2, but they were ordinary. The rib pieces were small & a bit fattier than I would like, & the dry garlic sauce was too watery.
In short, the quality was ordinary & at close to $40 with tax & tip, the portions were hugely disappointing. At $40 for takeout for 2, Montrealers have many more better options fortunately.
I will try their sit-down menu one more time, but I do not recommend the takeout for quality/value.

Excellent service. Friendy staff.
We were 5 people who love to dine out & found that the food was awesome. We all had different dishes, there was no left overs like there is usually is with oriental food.
I would definately recommend it.
We found the food extremely fresh. The chop suey Won-Ton soup was very tasty. My daughter loved the Chicken Soo Guy crispy & tasty.
The Egg Rolls were crispy & filled with lots of vegetables. served with an excellent plum sauce..We are going back to sample the lobster.. . We would strongly recommend the restaurant to our friends.... Donnie W.
