I lived in western China, and I miss having authentic Chinese food. (Not Cantonese style Chinese food...) I was SO happy to find that the dishes at the Blue Lotus are amazingly accurate. The food is excellent! If you want to know what real Chinese food is like, come here and give your taste buds a gift. We were in visiting Montreal for a week, and went back to the restaurant twice! It's so worth your time. Dishes we ordered: yu xiang qie zi (eggplant), si ji dou (green beans), yu xiang rou si (pork), hui guo rou (bacon like pork), he nan yang rou mian (HeNan style noodles with lamb). The broth in the lamb noodle soup will make you swoon. Go! Now!
