| - After reading all the great reviews of this place, I was expecting to be blown away. But being of Chinese descent and having eaten excellent Chinese food in Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Taiwan, I was completely underwhelmed by Qing Hua.
Also, I found the price a bit high for what we ordered: 1 order of pork and cabbage dumplings (tasted decent) + 1 beef and onion dumplings (slightly funky taste to the meat) + 2 bottles of Tsingtao beer = $35 after tax. WTF? I've had way better dumplings in other cities for half the price.
I really, really wanna believe that Montreal has good restaurants...but sadly, I've been quite disappointed so far - especially when it comes to Chinese, Japanese and Indian food. Sigh :(
Addendum, Oct 4, 2011: Way better dumplings are found at Mother's Dumplings in Toronto on Spadina...but the best dumplings can be found in my kitchen.
