I have been going to this place before and after covid, and it is still one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown! Amazing food, large portions, good prices, and a very clean place ! Last time I went, I came in less than 30 minutes before closing time, and not only they let us in, they served us quickly freshly cooked food and were very nice with us despite the late hour. The waitress we had was also very helpful and attentive. Finally, their cooking team was helpful as well and accepted to make some significant changes to their plates to accommodate their menue to our dietary restrictions.

I ordered with Uber Eats. The general Tao was very good. Not too much breading with lots of tender chicken in a sweet and tangy sauce. Medium spice level. The Cantonese chow neon was also good with a brown sauce. There was plenty of broccoli but very little shrimp. The chicken and pork was tender and tasty. I will definitely reorder.

We were looking for "kind of" a hidden gem (i mean tgis place is rated on Tiktok as well) that would render a true chinese experience, as much as possible. The place was literally empty when we decided to try it out but it filled up pretty quickly following arrival. We had fried calamary (probably one of the best I've ever had!), shrimps in lobster sauce (very good but not the fav) and cantonese chow mein (omg the best). Very satisfied and pleasantly surprised with the quality and price. The ambiance is a kitchy dated chinese vibe; i liked that it was what it was! Very good dining experience! Recommend!

Amazing service, exceptional food quality, and generous portions! Conveniently located near the "Palais de Congrès," they also accept credit card payments. The meal ends with a thoughtful touch: fortune cookies and a slice of orange. An unexpectedly incredible experience!

We had the following: egg rolls, wonton soup, mushroom egg drop soup, Hunan dumplings, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, bbq pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, diced chicken with Cashew Nuts and vegetables, and Mongolian beef (beef sauté). We ordered through Uber eats, so the price per item was pretty high, but comparable to other restaurants. Most of the food was good. Here are how I rate the items from best to worst. Chicken chow mein: Very Delicious. I was surprised at how crispy and crunchy the noodles on top still were by the time we got to eat. The chicken and vegetables were also in a delicious sauce. It was a pretty good portion and there was nothing about this we didn't like. I'd definitely order it again. Mongolian beef/beef sauté: Really good! If you are expecting anything like P.f. Chang's Mongolian beef, don't be surprised that it's nothing like that. It has other vegetables like red pepper, onion and snow peas. It is very spicy (for us) and the beef is very tender. We both liked it although I still prefer Mongolian beef from PF Chang's. I'd definitely order this again. Chicken with Cashew Nuts: This one was really good, except I was not a fan of the type of mushroom they used. The slice was really thick and chewy and I didn't like the taste. Besides that, there was a good assortment of vegetables and the chicken and sauce were also delicious. I personally also dislike baby corn which is also in the dish, but I know a lot of folks like it. If probably order it again and just pick it the mushrooms and baby corn. We both liked this. Egg rolls: These were just ok. They were a bit small, but well cooked. I love the egg roll wrappers, but the seasoning inside wasn't very good. I would probably will order it again because I love egg rolls. Maybe it would be better cold the next day. BBQ pork fried rice: I like that they offer the option of BBQ pork because not every place does. I like that they put so many vegetables in it, but overall the taste of the rice is just ok. Maybe the next day cold it would be better. I may or may not order this again if it tastes better the next day. Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce: I love Chinese broccoli and I sometimes prepare it at home or eat it at restaurants. The way they prepared it, it was too bitter. I would probably not order this again as it doesn't seem worth the cost to me. They sauce was good, but I'd probably order a different vegetable. Wok cafe does it better. We'll still eat it though, it's not that bad. Mushroom egg drop soup: This was just ok. It was very bland. Most egg drop soup is pretty mild, but because they used frozen peas and carrots, that taste really overwhelmed the soup. I think it would have been better maybe with just mushrooms, egg and green onions. Hunan dumplings: I normally love hunan dumplings. Every place has their own unique peanut sauce. Some are sweet, some are spicy, some are coconutty. I've never had hunan dumplings like this. I really disliked them to the point that I will not eat the rest. They didn't taste peanutty at all. The dominant flavor was soy sauce and some spice/flavor I didn't recognize. I also didn't really like the meat inside, although I couldn't taste it well because of the sauce. My husband did like them a lot though and said he'll eat them all, so I guess it's a matter of different tastes. They give a decent portion. My husband ordered the wonton soup, but he hasn't tried it yet, so I can't fairly review it. It did look good though and they didn't seem stingy with the wontons. Overall I rate them 4 out of 5 stars and I'd order there again. My husband thinks they're 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I ordered general tsos chicken to go and they gave no white rice!? How does a $20 order not come with rice?? And it’s all dark chicken meat. Sauce was good but not having any rice soured the meal. Very disappointed with the money spent here.
