| - I was going to give this place two stars instead of one, but the attitude the employees had here was just too horrible. The food was, okay. I was in Montreal for a business trip and was really craving some xiao long bao- soup dumplings so a friend recommended we try this place. It was interesting to see that their dipping sauce did not have ginger like the ones I'm use to do, but thats not something I can't live with. We ordered a set of dumplings each. To our surprise we only got one. The servers took away our sauce mid way to our meal without saying anything to us and just gave it to the table next to us (rude). We waited a few minutes after finishing our first batch and asked the waitress for the other batch. She said, oh Iet me check on that. When she comes back she said, no you only ordered one. (i forgot to mention that after my friend ordered, I asked her what she would recommend for me to order, i took her recommendation and ordered the dumpling with the leek in it) I informed her that I asked for the one she also recommended. after a "Okay, *SIGH" she goes to put in our order, my friend and I look at each other with a "okaaay, that was weird" face and say "first the sauce, now this?" we let it go, we get the second set of dumplings and ask for a togo box since we didn't get to finish about 5 of them. I ask for a side for the sauce as well -- which they forget and I have to ask again.
We go to pay, which may have been the worst part of it all.
We give her the money for our order and she pretty much throws the change at us ($5- bill- pretty much expecting us to leave the whole $5 in the tip jar since we saw it was filled with straight $5 bills) At this point, I was fed up with their attitude here and was so close to asking why they were being such A-holes to us. instead, My friend and I take out a single american dollar and put it in their tip jar-
She forgot to give me my receipt (which I needed for my expense sheet) so I go back in, and ask for it, she reprints my receipt and hands it without a word.
YOU'RE WELCOME THAT WE DECIDED TO SPEND MONEY AT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT, you are so welcome, and thank you for the horrible experience. I will make sure to never come here again.
Din Tai fung is so much better- wish you had one in Montreal, it would put this place out of business.
