authenticity meets affordability. The generous portions, budget-friendly prices, & authentic flavors make it a standout. Located conveniently, it's a go-to spot for anyone craving Chinese food. Very satisfying after late night drinks.
Food is okay for its price, nothing too crazy. I found the Chinese lady who is the server during lunch quite rude & forces you to tip. I think that really put me off. You earn a tip not force your way for one.
Excellent place to eat~
What I liked:
-Closing very late:
Most of the restaurants in Montreal close around 10 or 11 pm, Wok Cafe is still open until 12am & during the weekends they close at 1 or 2am. For me who sleep very late, that's a nice place to eat when I'm hungry very late at night around midnight. Most of the restaurants are already closed, so Wok Cafe is perfect for closing late.
-The food quantity:
The quantity has larger portions compared to a normal restaurant. I'm very tall (2meters) so I need to eat a lot to get full. Usually the portion offered at a normal restaurant is clearly not enough & I have to order another meal which cost more than 30 bucks for sure. Their portion is bigger, & worth the price (~15 ~20 bucks). When I eat I am not totally full but not that hungry. I would say I'm full at 75% - 80% which is already good to not being starving.
-Friendly staff: Very common, but that's better to eat at a place where the staff is pleasant & friendly than a place where the staff is very unfriendly.
-Noise: I hate eating at very crowded place. I usually go there very late at night so that's perfect. Not that crowded & not that noisy. Very quiet & chill. It may be more dynamic (noisy & crowded) during late afternoon / early evening tho.
-Food quality: I haven't tried other dishes yet. I usually eat that with my friend (check the photos). This one is good if you like to eat something that has taste. I usually take the spicy option which is very tasty.
