Awesome service, staff very attentive & friendly. Food is always very delicious Soba noodles with beef is my favorite & pork ribs too. The food is always warm & tasty which you do not always get to eat. I really appreciate their effort to stay in bussiness after covid hit & the big raise of prices they didnt change their quality of serving neither the quality of food.
Definitely will be going back.

We arrived at 6h00pm at the restaurant. We ordered at 6h30pm. It took 1 hours & a half to get our plate. We got out at almost 9h00pm. Unbelievable.
For the price, the food was very dissappointing. Lets talk about the general tao for example. It cost 15$ for the plate. My friend had 6 chuncks + a kids size steam rice. I had the singapour noodle. It was so spicy that ive tooked 3 bites & it was enough. Portion wise, my 2 years old kid woulf have ate it all. It was small. The shrimp was a little underdone. & it was written on the menu that it was suppose to have bbq porc in it. Ive found 3 littles pieces of it.....
The wonton soup (3 ball of wonton) was 5$ if im not mistaken. Too expensive.
The waitress told me that they were famous for their eggrolls. Ive decided to order one. When it came (almost 20 minutes after), i took a bite. It was like eating a teaspoon full of salt. Disgusting. & each cost around 3$.
My perception of this restaurant is that they want to pretend to be a classy chinese restaurant with high prices for their plate. I rather go to another place & pay 8$ for a plate & be full rather that paying 15$ to eat there & go to McDonalds after for a cheese burger because i was still ungry.
& they have their "table du chef" instead of the "table d'hôte". Each plate cost around 15$ & there is no rice or noodle that comes with the plates.
& btw, for dessert, they are selling a bowl of ice cream for 5$ !!
So, there is planty of other restaurant that the plates cost less & that its way better.
You must be kidding me !!! I've been going to Yangtze for over 50 years, and never ate anything to ever complain about. Alarm bells go off when the reviewer has absolutely nothing good to say, only complaints that are too numerous to logically be possible. If I never had a dish that I truly didn't like in all these years, how is it that you found 12 things to complain about in just ONE visit? Their famous eggrolls are SECOND TO NONE, and anyone I know who has ever gone to Yangtze feels the same way, so I'm not the only one. I've never tasted a Yangtze egg roll that I didn't love, and was too salty. Talk about fake news! My guess is that you are a professional complainer who never likes anything, and makes sure that those around them hear nothing but bitching, and that are certainly no joy to be around. And when a restaurant unjustifiably receives a bum review like yours, it most certainly costs them business and affects their reputation. SHAME ON YOU. By the way, go back to kindergarten to learn how to spell and use proper grammar. Good luck to them. AND ALL YOU YANGTZE LOVERS OUT THERE, try to give Yangtze as much take-out business as possible to help them survive these trying times (or in the dining room if government regulations allow it.)

Je confirme: service indifférent : ignore les clients Ration très pauvre, petite! Cuisine très salée et aucune finesse dans la présentation des plats Ambiance triste… Très décevant…
Une commande pour livraison. Les dumplings sont tout à fait délicieux. Les côtes levées aigre-douces sont très moyenne, pleines de cartilage. Le poulet général tao somme toute était correct. Les nouilles singapour sont très moyennes.
If there was an option for ZERO star i would freaking give it. I ate my food with disgust & utter anger. i ordered for delivery & mentioned three times to type on the apt code. They did not consider this when delivering & buzzed again & again like freaking ill mannered people!!! I went to open, saw that he was the delivery man was compassionate & understanding. But then, the delivery man had the utter gut to be really really rude to me as if it was my fault. No customer service at all!!!!! Food was blend except for the veggie rolls. I am never going to order with them. I am the type who stays very faithful & order everyday out to eat- & believe me- its not about the money- but id rather spend the same but interact with MANNERED people & for BETTER food Quality!
Livraisons: très mauvais service! C'est pas compliquer ça pris 2h00 juste pour la livraison! On a appelé plusieurs fois pour avoir un suivis & rien à faire! On ignore notre appel & on nous raccroche au nez! Il etait toute mélangé & on pas été capable de tout nous amener (items manquants) & en plus il ont passé proche de nous charger deux fois dans la confusion!!!
Bref, on vous deconseil extrêmement ce restaurant!!
Un mot résumant notre soirée : Wow ! La nourriture est d'une qualité exceptionnelle, les dumplings ont été un véritable coup de coeur ! Nous y étions pour une soirée en amoureux, & nous en sommes repartis très satisfaits 7 assiettes partagées plus tard ! Quelle expérience incroyable ! Il faut vraiment goûter les kou tien, les egg rolls croustillants à souhait, le poulet général tao généreux en poulet, le boeuf au brocoli & les crêpes Moo Shoo au canard ! Belle ambiance relax avec la musique idéale pour un bon moment !
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.

I brought my bird to the vet nextdoor & my friend & I got hungry, so we decided to go for something close by; Yangtze. I ordered their eggrolls & salt & pepper calamari as appetizers; they are definitely the best eggrolls in town! As for the calamaris, they came with onions & peppers as bedding & the portion was beyond generous; so much that we had to put it aside to make room for the cantonese chao mein; everything was so fresh & tasty- vegetables were crunchy & cooked to perfection. I will definitely go back!
