Literally the best authentic Chinese restaurant. The staff is super friendly and thoughtfully prepared enough utensils for tourists like us. The food is very delicious, so we actually ordered twice from the restaurant. I highly recommend sweet and sour ribs and spicy chicken.

Excellent experience. The atmosphere is not very appealing to be honest, but well compensated with the food. The fish is hot oil and beef intestine was delicious. I love spicy food. So I was perfect for me. I am happy with the price and the quantity of the food as well. I will visit this place again.

Love this place, if you love spicy food this is the one. Szechuan dishes here super tasty. You should try Roasted fish on charcoal, or Fish fillets in Hot chili oil. Seasonal they have Crayfish, amazing and amazing. A lot of amazing dishes.

Really authentic Chinese food from Hubei area. The pan fried lotus root is almost exactly the same flavor as my mom made when I grew up. The sweet sour ribs are so tender and just melting in your mouth. Since we have people are allergic to seafood, we didn't try their fish dishes, but they look amazing at other people's table. :)

Decided to come here on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the crab roe with tofu, their specialty spicy chicken and their specialty crispy pig feet. Be warned, the food here is spicy! The chicken and the pig feet especially were burning a hole through my mouth. I'm not going to pretend to be okay with spicy, but I thought it pretty spicy. The dishes were tasty, the service was friendly and relatively quick all things considered. I'm docking a Star for prices, which found itself being slightly too high for the class of restaurant that it was. Otherwise very good!

Authentic Sichuan and Hunan cuisine in Montréal! Grilled Fish It takes about 30-40minutes to have this dish ready. Can be shared with 4-5 people. We asked for extra spicy since it's winter. The fish itself only has main bones in the center, which don't need to worry about the hidden small bones everywhere. The tofu skin and potato are extra delicious because it's soaked completely in the spicy fish sauce. A great experience and a fun night!

Love the shredded potatoes which I asked for extra spicy & sour. The lotus root was great too. Fish is not my type but worth it to try!
