“I am a traditional Chinese, I normally call 1 day advance so the chef can prepare me some special food that not show on the menu, always has surprise. I went to there 3 times, every time has new dish, taste like the food in my hometown, love them a lot. I recommend if you want try something new call them in advance.“
“Haven't been to a buffet for the last 2 years since the pandemic. Our waiter Jackie made our experience one to remember. My son decided he wanted to go here for his 16th birthday celebration. We all enjoyed it. Food choices were surprisingly vast. The egg rolls were as good as I remembered. The chicken wings were delicious and I had just a complete plate of it. Upon entry to the buffet I mentioned to Jackie that it was my son's birthday. And what I appreciated and made me give a 20% tip was when we finished our meal Jackie brought a dessert plate with a candle for my son. Obviously the price for the buffet has gone up since they all closed but we all enjoyed it and will go back. We'll worth it and as good maybe even better than Fu Lam that it replaced.“
“Great place for Chinese fondue. The laksa broth is delicious and flavorful! Lots of choice of proteins and vegetables in the “all you can eat” formula, good quality products too. There are also noodles, dumplings, dumplings and tofu in the choices. Bar for sauces, salads and desserts. There is a choice of table with individual broths or with larger broths with separators. Note that the time to eat is two hours. Only downside: almost all interactions are in English, more French would be appreciated! Excellent quality & quantity/price ratio, to try if you like Asian dishes!“
“The food is really good, only one vegetarian option. The vegetarian noodle soup is amazing because the boulion is really silky, creamy and the mushrooms inside is moist and with a lot of flavour. The cucumber salad is so crunchy and flavoury with nuts, oil and chilli. The only thing that the egg is not enough marinated. Thank you for fresh noodles ?“
“As I am a soup dumpling or XLB connoisseur that has sought out these delicious treasures across the United States and internationally, these were a delight. So much more variety than your standard XLB restaurant and only 2/3 the cost. If you have a chance, you should go here.“
“Come for the beef noodle soup for quite literally a warm hug in a bowl. The handmade noodles are tender and springy, melt in your mouth beef, and the pickled vegetable cuts down on the beefy soup. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, tea is of good quality, and the staff is friendly. Don’t expect fast food levels of speed, the food here is made to order. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of warm tea while your warm hug in a bowl is prepared :)“

“Had a wonderful experience dining here today. Was served by Cameron, rapid, polite and smiley service. When it came time to pay, Brian had the bill already set up, very kind and energetic. We saw him running around all night and kept a smile the whole time which we really appreciated. I Go there often and never disappointed by their amazing dumplings!! by far my favourite place for dumplings“
“We went this evening with 13 people and we all loved it. Having been in China for several months, this is the closest thing, and I have tried many Chinese restaurants in Montreal. Absolutely delicious!Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu and vegetable dishes. Their salt and pepper tofu is excellent! Di San Xian is also perfect.“
“The best Chinese restaurant! Everything was very good, but I particularly loved their General Tao and Mapo Tofu. The General Tao was large chunks of very well seasoned meat with a crispy breading. The Mapo Tofu was very fragrant with typical Sichuan spices. A must-see restaurant!“
“After several unsuccessful attempts, we finally found the flavors of the Orchid de China restaurant which was located on Peel and closed for several years. Our favorite dishes (Dumplings with peanut butter sauce, Szechuan-style sautéed shrimp, fish with lemon sauce, chicken with crispy spinach, not to mention the mocha ice cream cake) are just as delicious as in the old times...Lovers of Szechuan cuisine, don't miss this.“
“very good dumplings. it doesn't look like a restaurant it's more like an apartment that someone invites u into and u order food and eat. the chili oil is very spicy. do not add more than 1 tbsp if u want to live. the grandma making the dumplings is so cute but also resembles a robot. my only gripe is that there's not more chicken options for the dumplings. also that they don't have hot and sour soup. also it's kinda expensive.“
“The seafood was incredibly fresh, the presentation of all dishes beautiful and our server, Yin, was helpful and attentive. Our daughter has a peanut allergy and she was really great about going over ingredients with us. It was a great place to grab a quieter (maybe not well know, YET) dinner and still have fabulous food.“

“great place to take your white friends and feel a bit culturally superior to them but then feel a profound sadness when they watch you eat a soup dumpling so they know how to 'do it right.' i dont understand what tiktok has done to people its just a soup dumpling just dont be an idiot about it. anyways i always walk away from sammi and soupe with both my stomach and my wallet full. reminds me of a simpler time before i became friends with white people.“
“A Chinese restaurant offering succulent, diverse and hearty dishes. The service is impeccable and we speak in French! Congratulations on your efforts! This differs from most Chinese restaurants in the surrounding area where French is absent.“
“It's good, it's cheap and it's quick. You don't find places like this anymore in the area and I really hope they'll stay for long until I'm old, hungry and have no more friends to hang out with. That's my last wish.“
“Compact, tucked away wonton shop with some of the best wonton soup in downtown! Spice level of their spicy wonton is perfect, hearty and fresh, perfect for winter.Tables and chairs are clean and plain, but the cracked walls and storage boxes in the corner make it seem a little worse for wear. But what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in taste! Servings contain around 8 wonton but feels like more with how big each are! Highly recommend for a snack or light lunch in between classes or errands!“
“Small quaint restaurant with no frills. Sechuan dumplings were 10/10, the laksa I'd say 9/10. Next time more dumplings ? my mom got the braised salmon and it was insane. ??Vegetarian options: There were lots of vegetarian options, most dishes come with tofu as an option, as well as 2 choices of veggie dumplings ?“
“I love Beijing Dumpling and I like to go there often. Their soupy dumplings are next level! They stop the dine-in facility after 8:30ish pm and only allow take out but if you see on maps, it shows that they are open till 9:30pm which is technically true but you can’t sit there and eat and enjoy :(“
“If there was a place on earth where I would be eating my last meal this is it. The beef noodle soup was so good I was willing to sell my car and move into the car park just so I could eat this every day. The spicy chili oil is incredible. My tongue was functional however I was sweating / glowing profusely. Amazing place!“

“The best beef noodles in Montreal. The taste is very authentic and the service is extremely friendly. We just passed by this place after having a French lunch and went into this restaurant for a delicious meal. The soup is salty and light, and the beef portion and texture are just right. The Roujiamo tastes neither dry nor woody, and is very smooth. The side dishes are also delicious. The best thing is the warm and hospitable waiters. Made us feel at home. Every time I come to Mengcheng in the future, I will definitely visit this restaurant.“
“Love this place so much! I went here with my family and it was so good. I got M9 with the pork and my family got beef and soup. Personally, I love the pork. It was the best dish ever and my whole family wanted MY pork instead of ordering their own. That goes to show how good it is. When you are going to dine in or do take out, get the pork“
“J'ai visité ce restaurant sans aucune attente pour un diner alors que j'étais dans le coin. Quelle découverte! J'ai pris une soupe avec du porc, suggérée par la serveuse (qui était super gentille et nous conseillait vraiment bien). Le porc était si tendre que je le coupais avec mes baguettes. La souper était tellement gouteuse. Des saveurs que je n'avais jamais expérimentées et tout cela dans un petit resto super sympathique. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Honnêtement, j'ai juste hâte de retourner dans le coin pour y manger à nouveau et essayer d'autres plats sur leur menu. Une superbe découverte. Dommage que j'habite aussi loin! ;)“
“First visit last night and certainly not the last!! I wasn't expecting anything and I was simply surprised by the textures and flavors!! Everything was deliciously perfect!! Finally a place where they put their energy in the right place: food and service! Thank you for respecting your customers and long life to you! :))“
“I love this place so much, I try to go once a week to encourage their business because it is definitely a hidden gem in Verdun. Super authentic tasting Chinese cuisine.I recommend the Lanzhou noodle soup. It has a nice spice level and the broth is full of flavor. The noodles are freshly made to order if you add an egg as an extra it's a good move... Trust me. I also love the chow mein with shrimp and porc. The porc flavor is sublime and the sauce in the chow mein with the assorted veggies are delicious. I love their pickled radish salad too. Any fans of marinated starters should try this.The price point is super reasonable for the quantity that you receive too. This place is a must try. The ambience is simple and humble inside. Not loud at all.“
“The best restaurant the South Shore has to offer. Michelin quality service, very tasty food and pleasant atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have the best dining experience of their lives. All you can eat tasting menu $50 (money well spent!)“
“Very good dumplings! But they're often out of the vegan options! Also I ordered the vegan "pizza" option and they put cheese on it, dairy cheese, and a good thing I doubled checked and ask because they indeed put real cheese... Odd since it's explicitly written vegan. Anyways, for the rest, I love their tofu dumplings they're the best in town in my opinion!!! Also I recommend the peanut butter noodles soooo yummy! I recommend this place for great dumplings!“
“We loved this restaurant and its food.Unpretentious restaurant. Excellent choice of dishes.The quality of the food is really nice.Everything was very good, in good quantity and the prices were really affordable.Bring your own wine ?Escalant service too.We will go back without hesitation.Too bad I don't live in Montreal or nearby!“
“Cash only $$ - this place has been around for many years. Inflation seems to not have affect the place at all.The owner is working pretty much alone, don't expect a super fast food service. You go there because its cheap, belly filling and good.The noodles are okay but it would have cost the same to do it at home.Service is friendly and polite. A small taste of streetfood of Asia.“
“Eating here now. the dumplings are delicious. we are here with a 3 y. o. boy who doesn't eat anything but chicken, and they were very kind and prepared some chicken for him. the menu is very simple and straight forward. Highly recommend!“
“Food was great very flavourful, came here to break our fast during ramadan, the waiter gave us dates and water and made sure to give our food a few mins before iftaar so that the food stays hot which was very thoughtful, definitely would come “
“Please please please do yourself a favour and go check this hidden gem out! We went for lunch and it was so good that we actually came back for dinner! Food was so good! I’ve been to many soup dumpling spots but this one was by far the best! Even better than Din Tai Fung! The staff were very efficient and helpful! I can’t wait to come back again!“

“No complaints. Delicious dumplings and they prepare them very fast. My go-to dumplings are steamed Shrimp, Chive and Egg and fried Beef & Onion. I love that you can split your order to be half and half of whatever you like. Oh and try the cucumber salad, it’s delish. Very kind waitress and good atmosphere.“
“We went off hours, but the place was still packed. There was one person working the front - he was the waiter, cashier, bus boy, and everything else. It was impressive to watch. Then food came very quickly. And it was one of the best dumplings we have ever had.“
“We heard a lot about this place and needed tl try it for ourselves. Ordered the chicken dumplings, lamb cumin broad noodles and Three in One oil spilled noodles. The dumplings were good, nothing outstanding but a good appetizer, the lamb cumin noodles were good too but the Three in One was my favorite, an explosion of flavor and spicy like I like. Got there on a tuesday evening and the place was empty. Service was a little slow and the waitress did not attend our table, we had to get our cutlery and sauces ourselves. That was the only downside.“
“The food is very authentic. I had, spicy pork chops, beef and broccoli, fried rice and some noodles. Overall everything was really good, especially the pork chops. The taste and presentation is much like Wing Phat - both restaurants are very good and definitely worth the detour …“
“Went for a late lunch because we were all craving dumplings. Had several kinds of dumplings - the pork coriander soup one was best. Chicken curry was also very good. Spicy juicy chicken soup dumplings were also very good. Service was quick and good. A top place for dumplings if you are craving them.Vegetarian options: At least 4 different dumplings for vegetarians.“
“Very classy atmosphere, but welcoming. The service was very courteous. High quality ingredients in well presented dishes that tasted wonderful. Highly recommend if you pass by the old Montreal area. There are few restaurants left that serve such quality of service and food with owners that are present and want you to feel at home and special like this one. Definitely a must go and will come back soon.“
“It is clear that the people behind Cuisine AuntDai respect their clients AND take pride in what they do. The food at Cuisine AuntDai never disappoints; it is always fresh, brilliantly prepared, and delicious. And the menu offers something for all tastebuds. The staff make you feel like a welcome and valued guest. My family and I eat there regularly and recommend it highly.“
“Ordered their black bean noodles Jajangmyeon via Ubereats. The food was well prepared and packed carefully. Very authentic taste like those in Seoul with affordable and reasonable price too. Definitely will have a dining experience with my friends here very soon!“
“I've been frequenting the Noodle Factory off and on for years, drawn repeatedly by its straightforward charm and delectable offerings. Nestled in the heart of Montreal's vibrant Chinatown, this no-frills eatery has carved out a niche for itself, serving up tasty dishes at an unbeatable value.Upon entering, one can't help but notice the restaurant's modest dimensions. The space is somewhat cramped, a testament to its bustling activity rather than any lack of foresight.

The staff, adhering to the establishment's no-frills approach, provide the basic level of service necessary to facilitate your meal. This minimalist approach to service underscores the restaurant's commitment to offering a low-cost dining experience, prioritizing the quality and affordability of the food above all else.However, it's important to note that the Noodle Factory may not be accessible to everyone, as it currently does not provide wheelchair access due to the absence of a ramp. This limitation is a significant oversight that the establishment should address to welcome a broader clientele.The menu at Noodle Factory stands out for its generous portion sizes that leave customers satisfied. The dishes, while simple, are prepared in a way that brings out a richness of flavor, ensuring a delightful dining experience. The cost of dining here is surprisingly low, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.Be mindful that the restaurant operates on a cash-only basis. While this may require a bit of planning ahead, the dining rewards are well worth this minor inconvenience.In sum, the Noodle Factory stands as a testament to the simple pleasure of good food served without pretense. While it may benefit from a few logistical improvements, its commitment to providing a cost-effective dining experience, alongside the satisfying culinary offerings, ensures its place as a beloved fixture in Montreal's dining scene. Whether you're a long-time patron or a curious newcomer, the Noodle Factory promises a dining experience that's both satisfying and memorable, all while keeping your wallet happy.“
“So happy my friend and I stumbled upon this place! The veggie dumplings were excellent and I adored the cute cups the tea was served in. I can’t say enough nice things about the owner, who was extremely kind and detail-oriented. Thank you for the great experience!“

“They offer a wide selection of choice, the mala based soup is a bit spicy but not overpowering the other flavors. The only downside is two of the vegetables I picked had a sour taste even though they just brought them to the shelf while I picked my ingredients. I understand it’s hard to make sure everything is 100% fresh, but that one or two items that are not ruin the whole experience. Better quality control needed for sure.“
“Neat little discovery in our neighborhood! Tasty dumpling at a faire price with a nice selection of Sake! The restaurant is kind of hard to notice from the exterior but once you get inside you'll have a charming experience! I recommend it ☺️“

“Ji Chang Fun is one of my Cantonese favourites -- stuff my mom and grandmother used to make, that I delighted in. I frankly can't be bother to make it -- actually, I have almost no idea of even where to start. So Ji Chang Fun is my go to for this delightful food when I'm feeling the need for old school ji chang fun and congee.The food here is very authentic -- relatively inexpensive, quick service, and like most authentic Chinese restaurants leaves a little to be desired with respect to atmosphere. But it's pretty reasonably priced.Have the beef/shrimp and Chinese cabbage -- it's delicious, and if you are really feeling in the authentic mode, there's nothing better than the congee with pork and preserved duck eggs. Seriously.“
“Restaurant Ding-Xiang: A gem in Montreal's ChinatownIf you're on the hunt for authentic Chinese street food in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown, look no further than Restaurant Ding-Xiang. This cozy takeout joint may be small, accommodating only two clients at a time, but the flavors it offers are anything but diminutive.Upon stepping inside, you're immediately greeted by the enticing aroma of spices and grilled meat that permeates the air. It sets the stage for a delightful culinary adventure.During our visit, we indulged in a selection of delectable dishes, including the mouthwatering Chinese crêpe, flavorful beef skewers, tender squid tentacles, and delicious fried steam buns—all for a surprisingly reasonable price of $22. The chili spice used as a dry rub was a unique touch, and while I appreciated the preference for dry rub over oil, I must admit, I'd have preferred a bit more heat. For those who crave fiery food, a bolder chili kick would be a welcomed addition.Restaurant Ding-Xiang proudly offers tapas-sized portions, and they live up to their promise in delivering satisfying flavors despite the smaller servings.It's worth noting that the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. However, due to its intimate size, it wouldn't be difficult to get the attention of the attentive staff even from the entrance, should assistance be required.Overall, our experience at Restaurant Ding-Xiang was delightful. The flavors and aromas took us on a culinary journey, and the reasonable prices left us content. The taste of their street food is enough to entice me to return for more. If you're a fan of authentic Chinese street cuisine, Ding-Xiang should be on your must-visit list.Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegetarian options available at reasonable prices.Kid-friendliness: The tapas portion will appeal to all ages.“
“Such a cute little place to go eat dumplings solo in Plateau!A place that makes you feel like home.The woman that served us was such a pearl, she was a very good host.We sat at the bar so we could see the making off the dumplings and it was really satisfying to see everything made in front of you with fresh ingredients and beautiful flavors.Really pleasant evening and will be back soon!“
“I visited this place with my family after we received quite a few suggestions and this place did not disappoint!Recommendations we have are that we were hoping for lemon and lime for the sauces, maybe some garlic as an ingredient for the hotpot. Maybe some different drink flavours as well (there was water, fanta, coke, plum, watermelon, sprite).The AYCE aspect was perfect for our family and allowed us all to get our own ingredients whenever we wanted and it was very self explanatory. The staff were so so kind and helpful and came to refill our soup bases with hot water!There were sooo many options of ingredients that we never usually have at home, so many different meats and veggies.There was a lot of space and it did not feel too packed, and the soup bases we were allowed to have two per pot! In total, we had two pots and ordered four different soup bases with a divide for each pot. We loved the mushroom, clear and tomato broth, while the sour spicy one was a little too spicy.Definitely think we will become regulars at the place (my family and i)!“
“The restaurant has change for a while know .. it's not really a fondu place anymore like it used to be... it's most likely a Asian family restaurant. You will find the menu pretty interesting cause you can find almost every thing from chinese to Cambodian to Vietnamese to Thai food and more. ( South Asian) I would definitely recommended this place... for daily single meal or for a family and friends gathering.“
“The restaurant was empty when we arrived. I think it’s more of a takeout place but the had nice tables where we were seated. The service was amazing our waiter was very nice, he has to leave so the owner took the lead and he was very pleasant and friendly. We had the wonton soup, a salad, teriyaki chicken (hope it has more sauce), chicken coriander dumplings and beef coriander dumplings and all were delicious ! The price was very descend as well. Would definitely come back, I highly recommend it !“
