The space is cozy and very efficient, and despite the line, it moves fairly quickly. The open kitchen is right at the front, where you can watch a guy stretching fresh noodles by the window, which is fun to see. Once seated, ordering is super simple. They ask you three things: bowl size, noodle thickness, and spice level. We ordered three medium bowls and one large, and let me tell you, the large was ginormous. Portions are extremely generous. The noodles were perfectly cooked al dente, and the soup was light yet flavorful, not overly salty, which I really appreciated. Each bowl also came with a decent amount of thinly sliced beef shank, a whole marinated egg, and generous amount of scallions and cilantro. We also ordered the combo sets so we can try their appetizers too. My favorite was the spicy tofu strips. The chewy texture and bold flavor were excellent. My second favorite was the spicy cucumbers, which were slightly crunchy and salty, with garlic and chili peppers adding great depth. I usually prefer larger cucumber pieces for extra crunch, but these were still very enjoyable. The edamame with pickled greens was just okay compared to the others. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back the next time we're in Montréal.

The restaurant is just across Rue Sherbrooke from the main entrance to McGill in a block of fancy offices. The space is the size of your first apartment. There are maybe eight tables but the space is shared so all seats are filled all the time from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. And the line goes out the door; don't be discouraged. The line moves quickly. The "host" hands you a menu and takes your order while you're waiting in line. And your food arrives almost as soon as you sit down. And it's tasty. I had "oil noodles" plus spicy cucumbers. My wife had noodles with beef in broth plus spicy shredded tofu. All four dishes were excellent. Seriously. There's a burly guy in the front window making the noodles, which includes loud slams as he stretches and pulls the dough. Did I mention that they must be selling at least as many take out orders as in house. Caution: what you get is actually one long noodle, maybe a meter long, so prepared to slurp and bite off the noodle. We both used napkins (serviettes to you Canadians) tucked in like bibs.

Read the positive reviews and visited for dinner. Came away underwhelmed. Nothing particularly bad,…read morebut nothing great either. Everything we ordered was flat-line on taste and flavor. Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior and stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet and Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat and flavor), and rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived! The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes and generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!

The service was good. They took our order and brought out our food. A bowl of rice is not included with entrees. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef chow fun, and pan fried dumplings. Sweet and sour chicken was ok, the sauce was good, I just would've liked a tad less breading on the chicken. The noodles were what I expected with beef, bean sprouts and green onions. Pan fried dumplings were good and a nice side.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Simple eatery in Chinatown. Very…read moreefficient service. Tasty food. Cash only. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here and it was great. We got the deep fried pork wontons ($5), crispy shrimps ($17.95) and house noodles with beef ($15.95). The fried wontons were really crispy. The wonton wrappers were all blistery. My only complaint is that the amount of ground pork in each wonton was very little, but I guess considering the price, I guess it's to be expected. Luckily the house noodles with beef had a good amount of beef in it. The beef was lean and tender. The noodles were a good texture and there was also broccoli, Bok Choy, onions, cabbage and carrots in it. This was my favourite of the 3 dishes we had. The shrimps were tasty too, but I felt less bang for our buck since the portion was small. The shrimps were crispy and there was diced onions and bell peppers mixed in. There were chili flakes too, so it was a bit spicy. Service was really efficient. Our food came out in record time. They also gave us 2 refillable bottles of water and as soon as we emptied one, they swapped it out for a full one. As soon as we finished a dish, they removed the empty dish from the table. The restaurant is really small, so the servers had an easy view of all the tables. It was almost comical how efficient they were, lol. This place is popular. They seem to have a lot of regulars. Decor is casual. We had a great meal and would return. Review #72 (2025)

Although I paid for it. I didn't figure it out until I got back. The smash cucumber salad was fine. But the spicy chicken was neither spicy. And honestly I felt like I got the last bits from the pan. It was so over fried that it was hard. It was not spicy at all. In fact it had almost no flavor. I ended up throwing it away. I just couldn't bring myself to eat it. And I never ever waste food. But it felt like it would be a waste to eat it because it was so bad. It wasn't just bland it was just bad. I went there because it had good Google reviews but then when I opened it when I got home to see what I missed I see that it says there were suspicious, high rated reviews being removed. Disappointing and I definitely would not recommend.

The spice authenticity of this place rivals the best Sichuan food in Toronto and is even better…read more There was only one customer dining in when I entered on a Wednesday afternoon to order carryout. They didn't have a physical carryout menu so I had to take pictures of the actual menu instead. I asked for extra spicy for the mapo tofu and mild spicy on the fish fillet with pickled vegetable soup. They still put a generous amount of peppers in the pickled vegetable soup. The numbing spiciness level is on a authentically intense level. Although I had no problem with that, people who are not used to the real spice levels with this cuisine may need to be emphasize low spiciness or no spiciness when ordering. Fresh peppers instead of dried peppers are used and both dishes tasted superb. If you are not from Canada, remember to order white rice as it is not included. Also ask them to include utensils when getting carryout. The tables are clean and the place has a nice casual decor with oil paintings of pictures of Sichuan province.

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around noon) and were the first customers. Always a good sign when you see mainlanders eating inside. Our server was great and came by frequently to refill our waters. The menu is huge with soup, cold and hot appetizers, meats (chicken, pork, beef, fish, seafood and other), vegetables, noodles & rice, lunch specials and a chef's menu. Massive. - Rice ($6.00 medium) - always find it ridiculous when you have to have pay for rice. A medium was good enough to share between two. - Tofu flower & sliced halibut in a chili pepper and szechuan peppercorn broth (#75) ($14.99) - soft, tender fish but the broth lacked that spicy numbness that I crave with Szechuan food. I liked the soft pieces of tofu. Overall, it was tasty but the version at Délice Oriental is much more satisfying. - Yu xiang eggplant with dou ban jiang (#97) ($9.99) - we weren't expecting the sauce to be so sweet. Decent but one dimensional. - Stir fried green beans with chills and ground pork (#102) ($10.99) - normally, I love green beans but CS's version was salty. Much too liberal with the salt. Average. Too many other Szechuan options in the area to explore.
