Awesome authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. The Dumplings are the best I’ve ever had! Must get dish!

I have been going to this place before and after covid, and it is still one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown! Amazing food, large portions, good prices, and a very clean place ! Last time I went, I came in less than 30 minutes before closing time, and not only they let us in, they served us quickly freshly cooked food and were very nice with us despite the late hour. The waitress we had was also very helpful and attentive. Finally, their cooking team was helpful as well and accepted to make some significant changes to their plates to accommodate their menue to our dietary restrictions.

Amazing service, exceptional food quality, and generous portions! Conveniently located near the "Palais de Congrès," they also accept credit card payments. The meal ends with a thoughtful touch: fortune cookies and a slice of orange. An unexpectedly incredible experience!

We had the following: egg rolls, wonton soup, mushroom egg drop soup, Hunan dumplings, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, bbq pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, diced chicken with Cashew Nuts and vegetables, and Mongolian beef (beef sauté). We ordered through Uber eats, so the price per item was pretty high, but comparable to other restaurants. Most of the food was good. Here are how I rate the items from best to worst. Chicken chow mein: Very Delicious. I was surprised at how crispy and crunchy the noodles on top still were by the time we got to eat. The chicken and vegetables were also in a delicious sauce. It was a pretty good portion and there was nothing about this we didn't like. I'd definitely order it again. Mongolian beef/beef sauté: Really good! If you are expecting anything like P.f. Chang's Mongolian beef, don't be surprised that it's nothing like that. It has other vegetables like red pepper, onion and snow peas. It is very spicy (for us) and the beef is very tender. We both liked it although I still prefer Mongolian beef from PF Chang's. I'd definitely order this again. Chicken with Cashew Nuts: This one was really good, except I was not a fan of the type of mushroom they used. The slice was really thick and chewy and I didn't like the taste. Besides that, there was a good assortment of vegetables and the chicken and sauce were also delicious. I personally also dislike baby corn which is also in the dish, but I know a lot of folks like it. If probably order it again and just pick it the mushrooms and baby corn. We both liked this. Egg rolls: These were just ok. They were a bit small, but well cooked. I love the egg roll wrappers, but the seasoning inside wasn't very good. I would probably will order it again because I love egg rolls. Maybe it would be better cold the next day. BBQ pork fried rice: I like that they offer the option of BBQ pork because not every place does. I like that they put so many vegetables in it, but overall the taste of the rice is just ok. Maybe the next day cold it would be better. I may or may not order this again if it tastes better the next day. Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce: I love Chinese broccoli and I sometimes prepare it at home or eat it at restaurants. The way they prepared it, it was too bitter. I would probably not order this again as it doesn't seem worth the cost to me. They sauce was good, but I'd probably order a different vegetable. Wok cafe does it better. We'll still eat it though, it's not that bad. Mushroom egg drop soup: This was just ok. It was very bland. Most egg drop soup is pretty mild, but because they used frozen peas and carrots, that taste really overwhelmed the soup. I think it would have been better maybe with just mushrooms, egg and green onions. Hunan dumplings: I normally love hunan dumplings. Every place has their own unique peanut sauce. Some are sweet, some are spicy, some are coconutty. I've never had hunan dumplings like this. I really disliked them to the point that I will not eat the rest. They didn't taste peanutty at all. The dominant flavor was soy sauce and some spice/flavor I didn't recognize. I also didn't really like the meat inside, although I couldn't taste it well because of the sauce. My husband did like them a lot though and said he'll eat them all, so I guess it's a matter of different tastes. They give a decent portion. My husband ordered the wonton soup, but he hasn't tried it yet, so I can't fairly review it. It did look good though and they didn't seem stingy with the wontons. Overall I rate them 4 out of 5 stars and I'd order there again. My husband thinks they're 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I ordered general tsos chicken to go and they gave no white rice!? How does a $20 order not come with rice?? And it’s all dark chicken meat. Sauce was good but not having any rice soured the meal. Very disappointed with the money spent here.

We were looking for "kind of" a hidden gem (i mean tgis place is rated on Tiktok as well) that would render a true chinese experience, as much as possible. The place was literally empty when we decided to try it out but it filled up pretty quickly following arrival. We had fried calamary (probably one of the best I've ever had!), shrimps in lobster sauce (very good but not the fav) and cantonese chow mein (omg the best). Very satisfied and pleasantly surprised with the quality and price. The ambiance is a kitchy dated chinese vibe; i liked that it was what it was! Very good dining experience! Recommend!

My favourite Chinese restaurant in Montreal! They do a few dishes exceptionally well, so it's a must-visit when I'm in town. We made a reservation for 4:30 because it can get really busy, especially since they changed their hours. Their team is always friendly and attentive and my recent visit was great! We ordered wonton soup, hunan dumplings (we ended up getting THREE orders they were so amazing), egg rolls (so good), general tao chicken, general Tao tofu (my favourite), mixed fried rice, shrimps in lobster sauce, Cantonese chow mein, beef with Chinese broccoli, and pineapple chicken. Every single dish was delicious. I'm not sure what they put in their general Tao sauce but if they sold it by the bottle I'd buy it!!! As always, the meal ended with orange slices and fortune cookies. Delicious!!!!!

Petit resto cantonais avec un vaste menu qui offre de belle surprise. De mon coté j'ai opté pour 2 clasiques La soupe Wontong et poursuivi avec le homard cantonais délicieux et tout coupé d'avance. c'est un super plat avec du porc haché et une sauce très gouteuse. Je suggères de prendre en extra du riz blanc pour ballancer les épices. Si vous ne connaissez pas le homard servie de cette façon je vous le suggères fortement. Le prix varie selon la saisons. Pour du honard offre aussi la version gingembre a ne pas confondre Avec le repas ilsl offrent le thé, des cartiers d'oranges et un petit biscuit. .

We were craving Chinese and came across VIP. We called them ahead to ask them for recommendations for their most popular dishes before placing the order on UberEats. We ended up ordering General Tao Chicken, Sesame Beef & Chicken Fried Rice. Food arrived within an hour of placing the order. Portions were huge! Quality of ingredients & taste was excellent. I personally loved the Chicken Fried Rice & General Tao but found the Beef Sesame to be alright. Would highly recommend this establishment to others and would definitely be ordering again!

Tasty food! The General Tao Chicken was good but not great. The garlic beef was good but not great. Also had the Chow Mein Cantonais was fair but didn't have much in the flavour department. What saved the meal & turned it into a 3-Star was the Salt & Pepper Shrimp. That was delicious & it was a decent size serving. The service was very fast & the place was kinda divey. It's clearly family owned. Not sure I'd go back unless I was in the area & couldn't honk of another restaurant.

16$ for a small portion of chicken Tao, and the taste isn't good......that's why this restaurant becomes quite....

Due to an amazing lack of reviews for Montreal's wonderful Chinatown. I had to just take risks and walk into places unknown, just like the old days before the interwebs... After walking around Chinatown for a few days, and spying on all of the different restaurants and their patrons, we finally chose this location out of many. From peering in from outside the front window, it appears to be a white tablecloth establishment. But, after reading the menu prices on the wall, I knew it was too good to be true. Indeed once we were seated, we were quick to realize that the tables were covered in layers of at least 50 white plastic trash bags that slip around underneath your food. Makes for an appetizing situation and sound. Like I noted before, the specials are kindly posted on the wall in Chinese, French, and English with clearly listed prices. The Snow Pea Leaves with Garlic Sauce were excellent and under $14 CAD, which was a surprise. Normally, this dish will set you back about $14.95. Sadly, that was the only item that we ordered off of the wall menu. We should have stuck with the wall recommendations, especially the 2 for $24 lobster special that everyone around us was ordering. They obviously knew what was up, and we did not. The Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were actually a little spicy, much to my amazement, and it made me happy. The Sliced Fish with Black Bean Sauce, could have been worse. But, I detest celery and this dish had a ton of it. It was my fault for not letting the waiter know. For a Hong Kong style establishment, the service was absolutely amazing. Again, much to my surprise. The dishes come with complimentary bowl of steaming rice and a pot oolong tea. Everything was plentiful and quite cheap. Montreal has made me more humble in many ways.

We were taking visiting family there until someone pointed out the bad inspection they had just had in March 2023, I was embarrassed to have suggested it and we looked for somewhere else. I've enjoyed it many times years ago but did feel a little unkempt; I was horrified by the report and decided to not give them another chance. Sorry you are no longer my go to place in Chinatown.

Let me just say, this place is by far one of the best Asian restaurant I've ever been to. Love the General Tao chicken here, the ginger lobster is to die for, a bit pricey but worth every penny. When me and my wife goes there we spent easily $100-$150 lol. I love this place. Clean, friendly and very professional. And another plus is their open until 03:30AM. I think I've been to VIP at least a dozen times. And I will keep going until I'm their last customer.

My friends and I have a ritual after attending concerts. We usually go to Chinatown for late night eats. After hours of waiting, two more hours of standing and/or dancing or rocking out often at venues that don't have anything besides drinks or over-priced junk food, you're famished by 11- 11:30pm. Unless you want to go to McDonald's (no thanks) there's only a handful of restos in Montreal that are open for late night eats.Thankfully Chinatown has a few places that are open until 3:30am. Maison V.I.P is one of them. So after last night's Peter Murphy and 40 Years of Bauhaus concert, we came here and chowed down some decent Chinese grub, like beef with bitter melon, deep fried shrimp balls and garlic stir fried snow peas. Deeply satisfying after a night out.

I'm usually picky about Chinese food but I'm happy enough with how the food tastes here to come back again. A simple comfort dish is beef and Chinese broccoli. There's always General Tao chicken that is a sure bet and fried rice, you can't go wrong. We didn't know the Ma Po Tofu has beef in it so it was not suitable for vegetarians. However, the waitress was really accommodating and allowed us to custom order a veggie stir fry dish so we concocted an order on the spot and it turned out yummy. Service isn't great but really, who goes to Chinese restos for service? Asians go for the good food at very decent prices :d

A whole bowl of peas and carrots that they call Sichuan Style Shrimps - $15.95, and it tasted like a bowl of peas and carrots boiled in ketchup. $15.95 for the garbage!

Came here on two occasions 'cause their general tao chicken is godly (yeah I know it's not even real Chinese food, but hey it's good). I've also tried their chow fun noodles with beef, hot and sour soup, and chow mein noodles with chicken and pork. They were all very tasty with heaping portions! All their dishes you can split between two (with a side of rice) and be completely content. Their hot and sour soup was especially filling and more flavourful than ones I've tried at other places. I'd like to come here with like 8 people and order 10 different dishes *_*. Time to make more friends.. Now, for their service, it's a mixed bag. They seem pretty structured in a sense they have an order of things to do for each customer (give them tea pot and cups, take order, put down serving plates and utensils, bring out food, take away dishes, give oranges and fortune cookies for dessert if dinner, else just fortune cookies). Besides that, it's hard to get their attention for other things you need, like more napkins, tea, etc. It's best if you walk up to them and ask. They won't come around asking if everything is okay or not so don't expect that kind of service. But honestly, I'd still come back for the generous amount of delicious food!

Ohhhhh heck yea this place is bomb! The salt and pepper pork chops are a must ! Classic Chinese food cooked to how it should be. The location is a bit hidden, but feasible! ....We were seated quick and the food came out in about 10 min from the order. The building seems old but it works!!

I can't believe I've never reviewed this restaurant. Let me just start by saying I've been going here for about 35 years. Yes you can say I'm a regular, all the waiters know me from since before puberty, yes that's right I get special treatment, don't cry about it just keep coming back, once they know you, you get special treatment too. I realize that my review of this place could be slightly biased but hey I'm still allowed my favorites. The favorite dishes here are the chow mein (cantonese or beef), the lobster special (ginger and scallions), and the hot and sour soup. Sweet and sour pork, Pekin style duck... pineapple chicken Now most lobster specials in chinatown come with some sauce, this one is lightly battered salted and sauteed, so the shell is very flavorful, suck on it you must or you'll miss out on all the flavor. The sauteed dry lobsters (2 for 34.95) are served on chopped lettuce and ginger and scallions, it's not just garnish, eat it up, it all adds to the dish. When the lobsters are good (stiff shells gives meat with good body and texture, soft shells the meat is a bit mushy not as good) and the chef in on, there is no better lobsters. On average, it is still a very good lobster and hard to beat. The chow mein, here's why I like it. It's part crispy, part wet. Don't let it sit, serve and eat right away, otherwise the wet part gets a bit soggy. get a bit of everything, crispy noodle, wet noodle, meats, veggies and enjoy. It's perfectly balanced in terms of taste and texture, add a bit of soy sauce and hot sauce if you want, a little chinese pepper is good too. you might find that chow mein is bland on it's own, but cantonese dishes are usually very steep in one taste and is meant to be paired with another to balance out, a meat dish with some sauce like mongolian beef or sweet and sour dish could fit the bill here, also Pekin style duck is a good dish to add here. The hot and sour soup, again another of my favorite, sour and spicy just evening each other out is what you get, good color, shrimp just cooked, and tofu is soft and silky. Again perfect taste and texture. Other good dishes are salt and pepper calamari, soft shell crab or shrimp (comes with the head) these are similar in to the lobsters in tastes and texture. You could add a sweet and sour pork or shrimp dish, which pairs very well with the salt and pepper dish. We always pair a wet dish with a dry one, sweet or sour against salty, also a simple sauteed chinese brocoli with garlic is good veggy choice which is bland and pairs well with all flavors... I love this place and I'm biased but I've explained my reasoning hopefully it makes sense :)

First thing I'd like to post is that the food is absolutely amazing. You get great value for your dollar, it tastes great and comes out of the kitchen in okay time. They also give complimentary tea as well. The service is not great. They didn't come and ask if we needed anything after the food was brought. I had needed to call over a waitress myself 4 times. Which for me is not the greatest. The place was half full and with 2 servers could've been the issue. The decor is very dated and dreary as well the cheap plastic tablecloths that stick to your arms when eating is annoying. It was also very cold as the AC was on high but I understand on hot summer days is that way. Bring a coat. I wasn't impressed I had to call the waiter 3 times to pay and leave. I was left sitting there. Overall, great food and value. But low service and low decor. My friend was overcharged and he made an issue with fixing the bill $1.00 which to me was unacceptable. Also he showed he was annoyed about making the correction. I'd order to go from here but the dine-in experience leaves a want for more.

This is a good place to go with few friends to get something quick and tasty if you're on a tight schedule for lunch. You should not have high expectations about the service, you're in Chinatown, you don't come here for the service but the food. Their stir fries are great and Chinese broccoli is an excellent choice too. Yeah, the food makes up for everything else.

I love Maison VIP! Come here for the cheapest meals, and boy are they tasty! I love me some thin noodles, and they have great noodle dishes! Pull up a seat and sit at a round table with other customers. You won't be disappointed. This is a Montreal institution.

VIP is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Montreal. If you're complaining about the service you don't get it. The surly wait staff is half the fun. I have been coming here for over 30 years, and this was my parent's goto Chinatown restaurant. What makes VIP the best: -Crazy cheap weekday lunch specials. -Open until all hours of the night. -Cantonese Lobster is always in season and a decent deal -Amazing Soft Shelled Crab -General Tao chicken that is sweet, sour, a little spicey, crunchy and HUGE. -The best Cantonese Chowmein I have ever had in my life. Don't ask me what's in it. -Huge tables for family style eating. If you want a non-pretentious delicious Chinese restaurant to visit for 2-12 people you can't do better than this gem. Parking is a nightmare, and on a busy night make sure you get a reservation. Go with a sense of humor and an appetite and your taste buds and wallet will thank you.

First time in Montreal and me and my friend were very hungry at 1 AM. We stumbled upon this place and it was pretty packed. The food was pretty good and the portions were generous. However, the service wasn't that great as it looked like they were understaffed. The man behind the counter was pretty snobby but overall it wasn't bad. Would recommend if you want Chinese food late at night.

Yelp
Probably the most well known Chinese restaurant in Montreal, patrons consistently rave about the place. Open late late, this is often where famished clubbers head when the bars start to close down. The food is cheap and the service is swift, but it's not fine dining, the tablecloths are disposable after all. Think of classic Chinese food from the 80s, assorted vegetables drowning in a lumpy MSG laden sauce. At 3am after a night of heavy drinking it's the perfect meal, but on a day-to-day basis I find their style of food a bit heavy. Le Maison VIP is really great for what they are. If you are in the mood for old-school Western style Chinese food, or the party is dying down late one night and the munchies are taking hold there isn't a better place to be.

Only giving it 1 star because 0 stars wasn't an option. I found myself craving some good old fashioned chicken lo mein, I thought it was generally hard to mess up being that even the dumpiest Chinese restaurants can put out some fire noodles however this was not the case. The noodles were soggy and FLAVORLESS along with everything else in it not to mention the chicken was PINK and I found a very weird melty piece of RUBBER in my dish. Also got beef fried rice but if I closed my eyes and ate it I wouldn't know because there was no. flavor. In conclusion I highly do not recommend and will not be eating here again. P.S. I got take out. Don't do that.

Pretty solid Chinatown food with specials such as 2 lobsters for $30 and protein (beef/chicken/pork) in XO sauce. The prices are about $12-17, so pretty reasonable, and the portions are generous. We had the VIP sizzling platter with chicken, beef, and pork, which was served on a sizzling iron plate and very savory, and the crab meat with 2 kinds of mushrooms. They are also more than happy to add vegetables to any dish. The crab meat dish was a nice vegetable side as it is similar to a lobster sauce poured over fresh veggies. It came to about $39 pre-tip for the 2 entrees and a small coup, which is slightly pricey for Chinatown but on par with Montreal.

It is true! The ginger lobster is amazing! Many thanks to the couple who recommended it while we were waiting to be seated. Get the special if you are hungry. Beware they won't give you tools. Although the poor red creature is already separated you would still need to use your fork and hands as the only way to extract delectable meat. We ordered the fried rice too, not bad, but I wouldn't return for it. The fried vegetables were dominated by broccoli and were very well prepared. The remains of these extra orders were taken home and became a wonderful lunch the next day. The service can be summarized with two words: experience and efficiency, and it actually became friendly when we were leaving. I think the hosts sensed they just won two new regular customers.

Ok so I will update my review on the next time I will get there. This only time I visited this place is because I was craving for dumplings. Unfortunately for me it was past 11pm when that happened. I lookup for a restaurant that serves dumplings and found this one. Although on that night they only serve the peanut butter dumplings which it wasn't exactly that I was craving for. I still ordered that to takeout since my tummy was calling for food. At home I was a bit disappointed on the amount the gave - I had a small box and expected the box to be filled completely but it was about half-full. From my experience chinese food has mostly been generous on the portion but this time... meh. Do I have to mention that I was still hungry after devouring the dumplings? At least they were good...

Love!Love!Love! I've been eating at this restaurant since I was a little tiny kid.Never been disappointed with the food.My personal favourite would definitely be the cantonese chow mein,the beef and black bean sauce,all the salt and pepper dishes. The cantonese lobster and the ginger scallion lobster is to die for!!! Fast and efficient service! Not the ultimate service but it's what you would expect in China town! Whenever I crave Chinese food, bad or good weather, this is the place that I go to.

Avoid at all costs - not proper Chinese food. Terrible food, service and experience. I had dinner with 5 friends and we all agreed we would never go again. The food is not tasty and I highly doubt it was prepared on the spot. I regret having wasted time and money at La Maison VIP.

Another classic! My parents are restaurateurs. When my sister and i were kids, this is the place that my folks would take is and their employees after our restaurant would close for the night. Everything is good. Sweet, salty, oily...oh the umami explosions of flavours in your mouth!!! As an adult i would go once in awhile to eat here. I especially love their salt and pepper pork and their ginger and scallion lobster. The downside of this place is the service. They NEVER smile. Sometimes rude and if you dare ask for extra napkins, it would usually be thrown onto your table with a little grunt. I don't think it's anything against a specific patron. So perhaps two stars top for the service but four for the food!

Stayed nearby Chinatown and La Maison was our 1st meal in Montreal. Since there were only 2 of us, we got the fried shrimp that came with stir fried spicy peppers. The shrimp were large, plump, and delicious. However the spice wasn't very spicy however that might just be a Canadian thing. None of our meals were spicy no matter how much we asked for it at multiple restaurants. I asked for hot chili oil but they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. I'm not quite sure how ANY Chinese restaurant wouldn't have that as a common staple on the table. Ah well. They brought out some strange srirachia mixture that seemed to mixed with ketchup or something to make it less spicy. Also got the Taiwanese fried noodles (basically the U.S.'s pan fried noodle) which was also really solid. The beef wasn't overcooked which was a major plus. Service was friendly and they were really good about refilling our waters. I refused to get the General Tso's because it was too "common" but I soon regretted it when I saw it everyone's table. Need to get over myself and just get what everyone is recommending!

Came here for the lobster that was such a rage on yelp. Told the asian waiter that we want the lobster our neighbouring table was having and then he looked at my and my boyfriend's brown face, gave a slanted, skeptic smile and said "that lobster? That's $22." I stared at my boyfriend with my eyes wide open while the waiter lefr our table to give us more time. I exclaimed to my boyfriend, "how racist of this guy. Just cause we're brown we can't afford a lobster? We should like order TWO lobsters just to show him up" and then my boyfrienda goes "yeah we should but are you serious?". I laughed and said "lol no but we should get a lobster anyway". So we ordered one lobster, chicken fried rice and thai style beef. The lobster came in a big dish and looked great. We thought that we probably should have orderes juat the lobster and nothing else. The preparation was similar to fried calamari and though it tasted great at first, it gets very monotonous towards the end. Not to mention, you feel bloated like crazy because of the high sodium content. When our bill came, we realized that they actually gave us TWO lobsters even tho we orderes one and charged us $38 for it. In total we ended up paying $77 for a rather ordinary meal. Never coming back.

What a waste of my time and money. I had the shrimp chow mein, and it was so bland and terrible, I stopped eating after the first bite. The spring rolls were meh and I tasted my husbands fried rice which was also meh. The service was crap. We waited 45mins to even be acknowledged and then another 15 to be seated. In their defense it was very crowded. We paid for our food and went to Keung Kee to get something that was actually edible. Perhaps I ordered the wrong dish, but to me, the food is mediocre at best. You can do better.

me and a friend went a few years ago and wather fell from the celling's super dirty AC trap directly onto my food. We told the waiter. did not apologize or offer anything. Instead he blamed us (!!) saying, that because there were to many plates on the table, he was unable to put that one in a spot on the table so the dirty water would have landed on the table instead of in my food. Like wtf. I eat with my meal in front of me. And even on the table.... Disgusting. Never going back.

Went to VIP last night before a show at Place des Arts. I had been going there for many years but my last few trips there was very disappointed. Further disappointment awaited last night. I had the ginger lobsters and my friend had the lemon chicken. My lobster was horribly dry, tepid, and difficult to open, despite already being cracked. I brought home half of it because I really did not wish to break my teeth. Again, disappointed. I still remember my first taste many years ago...I was hooked. Now...not so much. My friend had the lemon chicken. It was so battered and greasy that the soya sauce she put on separated into bubbles....affirming th einordinate level of grease. The Cantonese dried noodle dish was good. Not going back for a very long time. It is unfortunate because it was one of the absolute BEST restaurants in town!

This is the 2nd Chinatown experience that has us committed to returning! Fantastic! We wanted to split a late night meal, nothing too heavy. I literally just walked around the corner from the hotel to this treasure around 11 pm. They were mostly full, but had no problem helping me with my to-go order. I speak French, but the server immediately (and fluently) offered suggestions in English. I waited 10 minutes at the most. Most importantly, the food! All the dishes people were eating looked/smelled amazing. I was craving shrimp, so I chose one of the specials, #16 Plateau de Fruits de Mer Gresillant. It was so good! It had lobster, shrimp, scallop, and cuttlefish with tons of huge chunks of vegetables in the most delicious oyster sauce. It came with rice on the side, which soaked up that tastiness beautifully. We also had an order of (2) vegetarian spring rolls, which were also good. I asked for whatever sauces he recommended; he loaded us up with something I heard someon else call "Chinese ketchup". It was like Sriracha, but thicker and saltier with a bit more kick. There were plenty of other sauces too. We can't wait to go back. This is such a find! Oh, the total was $20 Canadian, which was $15.42 American.

This is the best chinese restaurant in Montreal. If you're a local, you know this. I usually go after the clubs close. It's famous for that. So tbh I don't really remember much about the food but I know it was good and it's crowed at 3am. So go. Update: On a recent couple (and more sober) of visits I had the lobster special (2 lobsters for $32) made with ginger and chili. It's so delicious!!! You gotta have that!

My boyfriend and I arrived in Montreal for the first time and found this hidden gem on Yelp while looking for a local place to grab a quick and affordable meal before hitting the bars. When arriving, I doubted the food could be as good as described - the place looked relatively empty and lacked decor. I trusted other reviews and we grabbed a table anyway. We were seated at a table covered with what was essentially a white trash bag, then told to write down our own order - I became more skeptical, but the meal quickly proved me wrong. We ordered the meat spring rolls, and got the best we've ever had. The outside was crunchy, while the inside was the perfect combination of meat and other good things. For our meal, we split the General Tso's Chicken (after admiring it on another guest's table) and Pork Chow Mein. We were given two huge plates of each order, again some of the best Chinese food we've ever had in the US. We ate until we couldn't fit anymore, and had enough leftovers for a meal the next day. The restaurant also has extremely cheap drinks, which my boyfriend and I took full advantage of. This is a good place to get a nice buzz on while enjoying dinner. Our server was friendly and got our order correct. I have never had better Chinese food for the price, and would definitely go back if returning to Montreal. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because of the ambiance - with a little decor and a more refined crowd (the man at the table next to us would not stop burping), this place would have it all.

Yum yum yum, this place was delicious! It's not the most glamorous (table cloths are white, thin, cheap plastic) but the service is good & the food was great. We were especially impressed by our waiters honesty when our group of 15 had duplicate orders. He told us the portions were large and no two people should order the same thing, as it would be plenty to share. And boy, was he right! Portions are huge! We had chicken fried rice, pork fried rice, egg rolls, spring rolls, shrimp lo mein, boneless spare ribs, wonton soup, beef/chicken/shrimp satay, general tsos chicken & chicken & broccoli. I tried a bit of every dish - fantastic! And the price is right!

I just came in from a long day of traveling and this was open late and didn't disappoint. I had the dinner for 1 special

I do NOT understand why and how people give this place raging reviews. 1) China has many... Various ( North, South, Hong Kong) ... Cuisines... 2) Many Chinese-American or Chinese-Canadian restaurants drastically modify their recipes to cater to that population... All that said, I ordered a sole fish with vegetables. The dish was drenched in a white, gummy, dense sauce. Fish was sooo salty. I like to be able to taste my fish. My friend ordered Chow Mein Noddles. They were decent, crunchy. Still too much sauce.

Entrees under $10, drinks for $5, and a menu that is as large as China itself. And the service was great too. What's not to like? And definitely the best hot and sour soup I've ever had, served in a large china bowl and filled with vegetables and tofu. Excellent choice in Chinatown.

What a nightmare , Mother's Day got there early for take out .. the owner said 40 minutes was all it would take , no big deal , ordered n took a walk in Chinatown ... came back 40 mins later no food n owner says you only came back 20 mins , I looked at my watch n since I added extra time on my parking meter I was sure it was 40 mins.. wait another 30 mins by the door.. she tells me to go to the waiter station n ask the waiter.. so I did as I was asked , waited 15 more mins n waiter as me to pay , getting closer right.... Wrong .....they forgot my order after waiting 1 hour and 45 mins I ask for my money back and went to shwartz , what a joke , the owner offered my a free meal next time , yeah right . There will be no next time n she will never give a free meal , would have laughed if I weren't so pissed

Not the best food I have ever eaten; however, they do have the best price for their food in Chinatown. It is the most affordable restaurant in that area, so it is worth it. If a group of 10 people go there and order 10 different dishes to share, the cost per person could come down to less than 12$, which is amazing. Plus it is open until 3am.

On a layover nearby hotel, it was nice to find a restaurant that opens late. Ordered yeung chow fried rice and a supposedly fish and pork belly in a sizzling pot. The fried rice was pretty good However, I had better sizzling pot else where. I asked the server what's in the pot when ordering. He told me fried fish, pork belly and lettuce. When the food came, instead of pork belly which was advertised in the name, I got shredded pork. I got snow peas, red peppers, mushrooms all shredded. Totally a dish taliored for westerners.

Been there 2 times. Open until 4:00 am. Found it funny there is a "Canadian menu" and an "Asian menu". Ordered from the Asian menu because I wanted a more authentic than watered down experience. Very cheap prices and generous portions. Service is alright but fast. Had the beef chow mein and broccoli and beef. Quite delicious. L. John Dory Twitter: @LJohnDory
