    Came here just before closing and ordered the beef broccoli. The broccoli was really good, but I wish there was a little bit more beef -- I felt as I had only a few pieces. In the picture, all the beef was on the top and none underneath. Regardless, the dish was good, despite the quantity of meat to vegetables.

    Spicy eggplant
    Avani P.

    So glad we were able to get a table last minute for a party of 9 on Thursday night! Loved everything we ordered and so many great vegetarian options! We got the veggie noodles, spicy eggplant, veg fried rice, ma po tofu! Wish we had the spicy lotus as well! Also the pineapple soju was yummy too! The place is packed with great service, delivery a very loud, active fast paced restaurant with amazing food!

    Don't let the underground restaurant entrance fool you, this place is a Chinatown gem. My significant other and I dream of this place when we're not in Monreal. The service is quick and efficient. The food is flavorful. We order the shrimp fried rice and the Sichuan style chicken. The chicken is crispy and flavorful. The veggies (peppers and onions) are a nice touch and nothing short of amazing. The shrimp fried rice is a generous portion with almost a shrimp in each bite.

    From New York, so I was raised on Chinese food... this place served the best General Taos I've ever had! Paired with white rice it was magical LOL. My husband was shocked, he's just started to get into Chinese food and this was a top moment for him. He also had the cumin lamb, which he enjoyed. But the star was the General Taos. Trust me, get a portion , it's so worth it! No wait time and staff were super attentive and nice. Would deff return if we were in the area again. Low-key place underground, clean as well. Worth the money.

    Spicy chicken
    Kristin U.

    Small'sh restaurant in a basement in Chinatown, featuring Szechuan dishes. We tried the hand pulled noodles, tasty yet could have been spicier. Also tried a combo of eggplant, green beans and ground pork, so flavorful. The spiciest order we had was the Piquante Poulet, subtle yet fantastic. If you're looking for something more than typical Chinese food found in the US, give this place a try.

    If you're a local, this place will satisfy your Chinese cravings. If you're a non-Asian tourist, this place will give you a glimpse into the Chinese culture/life of Chinatown Montreal. If you're an Asian tourist, this will taste like your Mom's home-cooked food and you will see what other Asians who live in Montreal eat. I also saw many Caucasians/locals at this restaurant during lunch hour. Lobster poutine was interesting- fried lobster over a bed of fries...very heavy, filling, and delicious.

    Boiled fish in chili oil
    Winnie C.

    Located in Chinatown, this Chinese restaurant specializes in Sichuan food (the name is self-explanatory). We ordered boiled fish in chili and eggplant fried with potatoes (di san xian) and asked for light in oil, salt and sugar). The food turned out to be not oily and salty yet still had decent flavors. Service was quick.

    Pretty good Chinese food. We ordered: 1. Stir fried beef with ginger on sizzling iron plate 2. Stir fried beef with broccoli Loved the service and atmosphere was amazing. Recommend this place to everyone.

    Seafood Noodles

    Did you really think all I would eat in Montreal would just be poutine? I had to try something else. Since my trip to Vancouver, I had to see if the Asian cuisine would be just as good as it was there. Yes it is. Great portions, good prices, exceptional flavor, all without sacrificing what makes it all special. The friendly service helped as well. Every stop was pulled to ensure I had a good meal. They even made smart suggestions for what noodle type to order. There was no judgement here from anybody, and that made the experience even better. Try getting something like that in the United States without all those fuss and feathers.

    single lobster
    Jennifer Y.

    The thing to get here is the lobster. $65 for a single lobster, $120 for two lobsters (CAD). I love the fried version with a spicy sauce on a bed of fries. I really like that they give you gloves when you order this so you can eat without getting sauce all over your fingers trying to pry open the lobsters. Also tried the spicy cabbage dish for vegetables - this dish is good anywhere, delicious cabbage stir fry with a savory and spicy sauce. Stir fried noodles with beef - noodles were very thin and overall the meat wasn't too impressive either. Wouldn't recommend this. The wait can get long on the weekends, 20 min or more but I think it's worth it. It's a very popular location. The thing is that no one acknowledges you to ask you how big your party is, how much you might have to wait until you're the very next person to go and they have tables ready. The lack of communication be quite frustrating. Service is pretty quick and easy for how busy they typically are. Payment happens at the table - Montreal has 2 different taxes if you're not from here; it's not an included gratuity. It's an basement restaurant but well lit and has a clean bare bones ambiance.

    Dumpling
    Jean-Francois C.

    Tres bon resto Mais bon je prends presque toujours le même choix les aubergines avec porc haché. Mais mon dieu que c'est bon. Je suggère de prendre en extra un bol de riz car ca divise les épices et je crois que ce plat est fait pour etre manger avec du riz. Le service est excellent. A savoir l'adresse est sur clark mais la porte d'entrée sur de la Gauchetiere.

    Tastes good! That's all I need to say honestly. I wish I could post a meme lol Chicken mushroom 10/10 Fried pork slice 10/10 Eggplant with pork 10/10 Super delicious! We were eating like a hurricane. Served relatively fast and the food doesn't look like pre made at all.

    We were looking for good spicy Szechuan food while walking around Chinatown in Montreal. Waited on-line to go to the packed downstairs restaurant which looks underwhelming and very bare bones. Service is quick and efficient but still friendly. We ordered Hot & Sour Soup (large enough for 2-4 people), Mapo Tofu and a spicy Chinese eggplant dish. The food and the spiciness did not disappoint!!! Just what we needed on a cold winter's night in Montreal!!

    I got the Cumin beef with steamed rice  and refreshing water

The Long Version: I love hand pulled noodles, so my husband and I had lunch here. He's not a fan of noodle soups but agreed to come and just have appetizers, lol. I got the small-sized Spicy Mushrooms and Chicken Noodle Soup ($13.99). I chose the #6 size noodles which is the thickest noodles they offer. My husband got the imperial rolls ($4.50 for 3) and the fried shrimp wontons ($11.99 for 10). I really enjoyed my soup, especially the thick noodles. They were chewy and the right amount of softness. There were chicken pieces in it, mushrooms and a delicious "tofu sausage." It also had 2 pieces of baby Bok Choy and some pieces of kelp. I wished there was more vegetables. The soup also had green onions and cilantro. The broth was a tiny bit spicy from the chili oil. I am happy that this soup does not have sesame seeds in it, so I didn't have to ask them to hold the sesame seeds. Lol. My only complaint would be that the broth was a bit too salty and too oily for my tastes. I still thought it was good though. My husband enjoyed his appetizers. The imperial rolls were vegetarian. I didn't have any, but they looked like nothing special to me, haha. However, the hubby liked them which is what matters. The fried shrimp wontons looked good and he liked those too. Service was pleasant and efficient. The decor is casual with some fun touches. I liked the rotating lanterns with lights on the ceiling and the drawings of a big squid and clams on the walls. I would return to try their other noodle soups and also their handmade dumplings. Review #10 (2026)

The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here and we really enjoyed it. I initially was going to get their soup dumplings (their specialty), but when I looked at the menu, I saw that they had Laksa ($18.99), so I couldn't resist ordering that instead. My husband prefers pan-fried dumplings over soup dumplings, so he got the pork and mushroom dumplings ($14.50) and there was a $1.99 surcharge for pan-frying (the base price is for steamed). My Laksa was huge and delicious. The broth was so rich with coconut milk and a bit spicy. It was really flavourful. The noodles had a nice chew to them. The soup also contained some decent-sized shrimp, velvetized sliced chicken, cubes of tofu and a boiled egg. I wished it had some vegetables in though because I felt very unhealthy eating just starch and protein, lol. I did enjoy it though ;) I had one of my husband's dumplings and it was good. It had ground pork in it and chopped up mushrooms. There was a slight gingery taste to it. I liked it and my husband liked them too. Service was very pleasant. The server refilled our waters regularly and I like that the water had ice in it and was very cold. The restaurant is not too large and has seating on a main level then up a few steps they have 4 more tables of 4 by the front window. We walked there from our hotel, but as with pretty much all businesses in The Plateau it's street parking only. Review #209 (2025)

    Amazing Chinese food…read more Crowded with an all Chinese clientele - and all young people to boot. That is almost always an excellent sign. Very few American-Chinese//Canadian-Chinese dishes on the menu - though they exist. This may be a regional Chinese restaurant but I do not recognize the region. One visit and three dishes convinced me I have to go back rather than just eating around town. In the not to be missed department: Mushrooms fried in egg yolk. These are the most interesting fried mushrooms you will ever have. They are also the richest fried mushrooms you will ever have. You will adore every single bite - and if you are lucky you can eat 1/3 of a serving before being totally full. I believe the trick here is that the batter is 100 percent egg yolk no white no nothing else. They also do a salt and pepper tofu that is creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. How often do you see that? Braised seafood in ginger and garlic is the same dish you see in many other Chinese establishments but is lovely here. The squid is tough but the ginger is to die for. I am eager to get back. * * * * P.S. I DID get back. We ordered five more dishes. The amazingness quotient continues. Don't miss their fried spareribs.

LOL. Portions are family style so bring a group with you to share. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop - easily the best dish, great crunch and great flavor. Snow peas sautéed with Garlic was clean, fresh and crunchy. Garlic flavor wasn't overly done. Beef Stew over Baby Bok Choy was tender and beefy. The Baby Bok Choy was hidden underneath in my picture, but it was there. There was also beef tendons as well which I always enjoy.

I was expecting a more flavored experience and maybe that is not what they do or I could have ordered differently. The menu is huge so it is hard to know where to start. We went here because of the good Yelp reviews. Were we arrived in Chinatown there were many other places that looked great, so we loitered at the door for a minute while deciding what to do. As we loitered a family came out and noticed us and asked if were were going to Keung Kee. We said we were thinking about it and they said just go, it is the best restaurant in Chinatown. Sold. We went in, up the stairs, waited a bit, and got a table. This is the kid of place you need to bring a lot of people because that is whet it is built for, the menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. We puzzled over the menu then ordered our food. We wanted a bottle of cold sake and the waiter brought it in an ice bucket. Nice. We started with the pork dumplings. The dumplings were very goof but came in a hot thick sweet peanut sauce. With a lighter sauce these would have been outstanding. The scallop was huge and had a bunch of stuff on it. There was some good scallop flavor but it was masked with all the stuff that tasted like old oil. The noodle dish was good but also had some old oil flavor coming from somewhere. All the meats and vegetables were nice and fresh but the good sauce I think was the source of the oil. We saw a table next to us had the pork chops and was asked, what are those? So we got that too. The chops were thin bone in with a batter fried then soaked in a vinegar sauce. These would have been good as our only item with a bowl of rice. Our co-eaters there had many good looking things. I would give this a try again but would bring a few more people so we could try more stuff. Total for all that including the sake was $100 Canadian. Not bad!
