  • I have to wonder why New York City doesn't have just one good Cantonese restaurant of this caliber, but it is what it is (as they say here). I went with my family this past weekend on a Saturday evening (Canadian Thanksgiving weekend to put this review in context) and initially had some anxiety as to whether we would even get a table. We walked in and this family of five told us that without a reservation we didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting one. They themselves had ordered takeout and were trying to move heaven, earth and a seemingly unsympathetic waiter to get them a table to no avail. I had to start thinking of a backup plan (which meant furiously scouring this app) but to my surprise (and probably to the dismay of that family) the waiters saw that we were three and told us to wait for 15 minutes. Luckily that family had given up and left, otherwise I am sure there would have been a scene. But looking back, another family without a reservation eventually got a table so the comment about not having a reservation may have been a myth. Just to be on the safe side call ahead because this place is worth it. Now the reviews that dwell on the table cloth a la plastique are correct and the decor ain't some decadent restaurant you'd find in Hong Kong. If that is essential for the dining experience then look elsewhere. I never got the impression that this place was dirty but we aren't talking about a five star hotel restaurant ambiance. It is the food that makes this place worthwhile. I would even dare say I would go to Montreal just to eat here if I was given only one meal (over poutine, smoked meats, etc). Get the hot pot with bean curds and assorted meats. The chow fun with black bean sauce and beef was amazing. If you like Cantonese style Chinese food (which I prefer over Shanghai or Szhechuan), you can't go wrong here. And the price is what makes it so reasonable and worthwhile. The waiter was honest in telling us not to order more than we could eat and that is integrity given he could have not cared, collected on his tip and made us carry multiple doggy bags. If you want good Chinese in Montreal (after you have had the typical Montreal staples) make your reservation today.
