| - This is as top-notch (surrounding) Montreal can get with Chinese food.
The quality and quantity of food served here is excellent. This is authentic Chinese food (I have no clue if they serve general tao though...If they do, thumbs up for trying to cater to clients with a North American palette).
Where do I start with my review?!
Dim sum: The best. It serves all traditional dim sum choices. You've got the grease that comes with the fried foods, the melt in your mouth first bite out of a steamed bun, and the slippery texture from the more "exotic" choices i.e. tripe....Because you know there's no other way to do dim sum!
Yes, as the other reviewers advise, it does facilitate making better food choices if you and the server pushing the carts speak the same language, but, do consider that the WAITERS/WAITRESSES and busboys speak fluently in Eng and Fre. The wait staff is friendly for the most part and even make (corny) jokes with you...Even if you are not Asian! Feel free to gesture to the nice lady pushing the carts to show you what each of the items are.... They'll uncover the steam trays and you'll forget the language barrier anyway...you're here for the food!!! Nom nom nom nom!!
Dinner service: Yes, they are open for dinner service, people eat here for more than the dim sum, y'know! Once again, spectacular food! The menu is extensive but that's what you want! This is authentic Chinese food folks!
Just consider that this place has built a reputation as a highly sought after wedding venue (it's absolutely gorgeous inside with a large chandelier, clean white walls, grandiose space and can accommodate hundreds of people). Being said, come summertime, expect the restaurant to be a) completely closed for a private wedding reception b) be partially opened...Half the place may be sectioned off for a private party and so the remaining space is business as usual. As was my experience last night...An 80th celebration was going on. It was quite entertaining... even though it was sectioned off with a curtain in the middle of the resto, you hear their speeches and music. We got a glimpse of a Lion Dance... but, it was to the tune of J.Lo's "Let's Get Loud" ...There was a line up to get a table and to accommodate more guests, they set up a makeshift table at....the entrance .
Overall, even if a visitor to Montreal or surroundings, it is worth to take a cab here from downtown if you want satisfying Chinese food.
