VIP is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Montreal.
If you're complaining about the service you don't get it. The surly wait staff is half the fun. I have been coming here for over 30 years, and this was my parent's goto Chinatown restaurant.
What makes VIP the best:
-Crazy cheap weekday lunch specials.
-Open until all hours of the night.
-Cantonese Lobster is always in season and a decent deal
-Amazing Soft Shelled Crab
-General Tao chicken that is sweet, sour, a little spicey, crunchy and HUGE.
-The best Cantonese Chowmein I have ever had in my life. Don't ask me what's in it.
-Huge tables for family style eating.
If you want a non-pretentious delicious Chinese restaurant to visit for 2-12 people you can't do better than this gem.
Parking is a nightmare, and on a busy night make sure you get a reservation.
Go with a sense of humor and an appetite and your taste buds and wallet will thank you.
