| - There aren't many Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Montreal so this all you can eat style place has been on my radar for a while. We went for Chinese New Year lunch, and we had a vegetarian friend.
$17 for ayce lunch is not too bad, but you have to factor in the fact that there was nothing pricy on the menu. (Compared to ayce sushi)
Sadly, the food was pretty disappointing. I could tell you about each dish, but we tried most of the items (party of 7). First off, they had none of the traditional Chinese vegetarian items, like the circular tofu skin thing, and the red sweet and sour mushy gluten, and the chewy brown cube thing. (I don't know what they're called in English ok) The faux meats could've done great, but why they gotta deep fry everything and drench it in the think sauce??!! Not to mention the thick sauce all tasted kinda similar. The pineapple sauce, sesame sauce, and general Tao sauce were all tangy with different undertones, thickened with plenty of cornstarch. They also had a sushi menu, but they were sub par as well. Too much sushi vinegar, poorly rolled.
So, if you insist to go, here are tips:
-don't get drinks! You have to pay more plus there are no refills
-the pumpkin balls, braised tofu, and spring rolls are good. Get those.
