| - Charming hole in the wall restaurant in Chinatown, a few steps east of Saint-Laurent and the rest of the brouhaha on La Gauchetiere. I wish there were a few more of those. This is a great place to go if you are not in a hurry, want to take your time and relax. A good place to eat alone or with a friend. It is very small, so there's not much in terms of privacy, you don't go there if you don't want people to overhear your conversation. However, it's rarely overcrowded and at certain times of the day during the week, you'll have the place for yourself. The lady who's there most of the time - the owner I presume - is super nice and talk in a slow, soft voice. Not much in terms of decor, but it's clean.
All of the items on the menu are photographed and displayed on the wall inside. The food is always good, reasonably priced.
Some hot pots on the menu can take a while before being ready (we're talking 30 minutes or so), but they always tell you and there are other options if you don't have the time. As I write this (summer of '16), they are open every day except Wednesday. I'm almost split between telling everyone I know about this place, and keeping this secret little gem for myself. I hope they prosper. I hope this place never closes.
