  • This appears to be the ONLY Szechuan Chinese restaurant in the area, and we need our mala fix no matter where we travel: so off we march for Sunday lunch, determined to get the heat on... I've never been here; my husband went on a mission to find a good Szechuan in Montreal, before I headed North. The appearance and décor is very different from what we typically encounter in Chinese restaurants in US: first, you climb up a set of very steep and long steps to the second floor. The dining area is quite small, with numerous tables squeezed in, primarily large 10-person family ones, so moving around is a challenge. The tables are covered with plastic tablecloths, so the whole feel is a bit dingy. We sat down, and studied the menu: the spicier, the better! We settled on spicy green beans, mapo tofu {always!} and mini-wantons in spicy Szechuan sauce. Beans arrived first - and they were simply amazing! I've never had them so good: they were lightly fried with plenty of chili and mala, sprinkled with garlic and salt - we could not stop eating them! Then the wantons were delivered: they looked pale, slightly drizzled with what appeared to be duck sauce. We asked for them to be "fixed" with more zest and heat, and set them back. In the meantime, mapo tofu arrived: for me, it was just "incomplete": they used ground mala instead of whole kernels, which minimized the infusion of flavor into tofu; there were no scallions, no chili peppers, no chili oil [we're ok with no ground beef, as we eat vegetarian]. The fixed wantons returned: so much more flavor, but luke-warm! How unfortunate... Well, it IS the only Szechuan in the area, so beggars can't be choosers. But I chose to find other dining options the next time I'm in the mood for Chinese in Montreal.
