The spice authenticity of this place rivals the best Sichuan food in Toronto and is even better. 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. read more

After tennis, we were ready to gobble down some Szechuan food. I've never been to Cuisine Szechuan even though I used to live nearby. It's next door to Porchetta. 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. read more

Ordered Poached Fish Fillet & Bean Sprouts in Chilli and Peppercorn Broth! The taste was definitely complex but lacked flavour & spice! I placed my order close to closing time so maybe it was rushed to completion or an ingredient was left out. Was definitely confused & disappointed! read more

Great Szechuan food in the heart of downtown. They offer dishes that are spicy, mouth numbing (the best!) and all while still being very flavourful and having a lot of depth. I really liked their spicy crispy chicken bones (a little bit of work but well worth it). They also have pretty reasonable pricing for a restaurant for their alcoholic beverages. We also got their beef and their green bean dishes. Both very good! The beef was super tender and juicy. The chairs are cute and small but I can see how taller people might have a hard time in terms of posture. read more

When you're hung over you usually turn to something greasy to help you recover. Instead of going for burgers and fries I decided to try something different. Orders a wonton soup which was flavourless. The wontons weren't made with love. Peanut butter dumplings had a sorta spicy peanut butter sauce which made it stand out compared to most super sweet ones I've had. The wontons were flavourless same as the soup. They added a few green onions to make it look better then it actually was. My friend got the general Tao spicy and nothing to go gaga over. The chicken and spinach wasn't good and in my personal experience the spinach should be crispy not soggy. All and all I can't say I loved it or hated it. It's a 5 on 10. = in every plate read more

My boyfriend is Chinese and we often go eat Chinese food together. We tried this place yesterday for dinner and really enjoyed it. We had #42 double cooked pork, shrimp and vegetables, and lamb dish comes with potatoes (first item on the chef suggestion at the back of the menu) All very tasty dishes but I personally preferred the pork (juicy, flavourful) and my boyfriend preferred the lamb (spicy and tender) + large menu, tasty dishes, served hot, decent prices, waiter come often to refill your water glass, clean, quiet (Monday evening), we asked the waiter for some recommendations of the best dishes since their menu was so big and he was very friendly to us, good customer service, good location (close to concordia) - way too oily Will come back soon for sure :) & try the other recommended dishes read more

Sadly, Cuisine Szechuan has closed. It has been an iconic part of my family's yearly visits to Montreal for over a decade. We have loved this place. We ate there a couple months ago and had a wonderful meal. We arrived back today, excited to have an early reprise of the meal a couple months ago, but the menu looked different. Then, we realized the name of the restaurant had changed, though the inside looked the same. The waiter explained that the new restaurant had taken occupancy a couple weeks prior. We ordered only a few dishes to "test the waters." Forty minutes later, there was only one other table still eating, and one of the men from that table was going back into the kitchen to get attention. There were two takeout/delivery service people getting very frustrated and wasting their time going in and out and trying to get the attention of people in the back of the kitchen. Forty-five minutes in, we had only received water and hadn't seen the waiter except at the very beginning of the meal. We decided to leave after ringing the bell on the counter and getting no attention. We offered him twenty dollars since we were getting up and going. He refused it, and didn't try to get us to stay--it was clear they had not even started our food yet. It was a sad, sad end to Cuisine Szechuan for my family. We had many joyful vegetarian meals there, and it was always a highlight of our trips to Montreal. Thank you for everything, Cuisine Szechuan! Retire in peace! read more

Fantastic! If you crave authentic Sichuan food then this is the best I've had in Montreal. As compared to Sichuan food in China, it's definitely milder. You get the flavor of the sichuan pepper corns but not a lot of numbing. And a reduced burn level. But for local tastes, I think they have struck a good balance. If you've never tried real Sichuan food but you do like it spicy ... then give this place a try. read more

I am visiting Montreal and haven't tried any other Chinese places around here yet, but I really did not expect to find such good Asian food here. I ordered the twice-cooked pork, a Szechuan staple. It wasn't as spicy (ma-la, tongue-numbing spice) as the real thing, and they weren't using Asian leeks. This version had onions, bell peppers, and Chinese celery. Despite the differences, I really enjoyed it and thought the flavor was on-point. The pork belly slices were actual pork belly, while many Chinese restaurants in the West just use whatever cut of pork they use for ever other dish. Really exceeded my expectations! Unless all Chinese food in Montreal is this good, I really think this place deserves more attention. I'm half Chinese, grew up in Asia, and I was introduced to the one of my favorite dishes ever, twice-cooked pork, during a stay in Beijing. From that point onwards I've used this dish as a metric by which to measure Chinese restaurants in the west, when they offer it. Although it's a Szechuan dish, my understanding is that it's quite common fare throughout China, but it doesn't seem to have caught on in the west as much yet. Note: I also despise most Americanized Asian food. And I don't often care about service quality. read more

Place is closed and reopened with non-szechuan food and a new name. Seems disorganized and slow so far but we have hopes it will be decent.

Decent food. Clean. Not busy. The food tastes good actually. Took the general Tao lunch and it was real good. Once inside it is actUally much better than outside. read more

How do I know this is legit Szechuan cuisine? Unlike at some restaurants, the hot peppers used here are mild and flavorful, rather than overwhelmingly spicy, so each dish is filled with peppers and red oil, but are packed with distinguishable flavors. As usual, this review focuses on the szechuan/chinese part of the menu. I simply don't bother with General Tao chicken, beef and chinese brocoli, and such wannabe chinese takeout dishes. Mapo tofu: Spicy, but not setting tastebuds on fire spicy. Good texture tofu, can definitely taste the tingling sensation of sichuan peppercorns. Lacks a bit of minced pork in my opinion, but otherwise has a subtle and delicious finishing (after the spicy, salty, you taste other flavors) Poached fish in chili oil: Again, spicy but not overwhelming. Tingling-lemony sensation due to sichuan peppercorns. Smokey/toasty taste in both broth and fish due to toasted dried red peppers. Amazing aftertaste. Broth is also packed with flavor so I drink it despite the red chili oil. Will come back for more szechuan dishes. And will definitely recommend to people who wants to experience an authentic szechuan (sichuan) dinner. read more

Are you looking for some spicy authentic Sichuan food? Here's the place to go! It has a very extension menu and I highly recommend the Fried Spicy Sichuan Chicken and the Spicy Beef stew. It can get quite spicy so make sure you ask for less spice if you can't take it. This is a cozy small restaurant that is very casual. It's at the basement level so don't miss the entrance! Good service and they do take out as well. Go check it out if you want spicy sichuan food. read more

I would legit be heartbroken if this place closed down. We go here sometimes with a big group from work - it always has room for large parties in the form of a big round table at the back, with a lazy susan for food sharing. We order a ton of stuff - well, actually, my friend orders, in Chinese, and we trust him completely to steer us in the right food direction. We usually get soup, rice, sides, and meat, and go to TOWN on it. There have rarely been any misses. Everything is amazing, even if some of the dishes are quite salty and oily. That's part of the experience, my dudes! You should definitely share food, by the way. So many dishes are fantastic, and it's worth eating as many as you can! I'm hoping the 5 star review is enough to let you know that this place is fantastic, so now here are my recommendations as someone who's been here over ten times, in order of excellence: Stir-fried green beans with chillies and pork Soft tofu & eggplant casserole Crispy eggplant (warning: way too sweet to finish on your own) Ma Po tofu Dan Dan noodles Szechuan chicken with crispy spinach Hot & sour soup Gong Pau (chicken/tofu/etc) Cumin (beef/lamb/etc) I'm sure a lot of other things are great, but these are my absolute favourites, and what we usually get when we go. I'm writing this review right now because I just ordered a bunch of stuff delivered and I'm so excited about it that I thought they probably deserved to know. Thank you, Cuisine Szechuan, you're the BEST. read more

This spot has quickly become my favourite in town, and I'm horrified to read these old reviews which are poorly written or based on one lunch takeout order, etc. Got addicted to: The 4 Delights Hot & Sour Noodles Crispy Lotus Root Sticks Feels like a magic warp zone to a place that is absolutely no bs, just amazingly spiced food served in a quiet and humble atmosphere by people that know they are doing the lord's work. I've only left this place 100% satisfied. read more

Excellent food and service! There were Chinese families eating there and it was a friendly atmosphere. I recommend their twice-cooked pork!!! Super good. My girlfriend ordered crab and she enjoyed it, but there was a TON of red hot peppers on it (too spicy for me!). Sichuan food is great and this is a good place to try it! :) read more

I was really craving for some Szechuan chili chicken and ordered that from here. The portion was really generous and the chicken was fine but not the greatest. My main complaint is it didn't really have that magical taste of peppercorn which is what Szechuan dishes are known for. The chicken pieces were too fried and I would have preferred not so dry pieces. The chilies were nice but as I said earlier lacked proper usage of peppercorn along with chili. I would possibly go back again to try other dishes read more

Delicious Asian with a Twist! I have eaten here twice in the last 3 weeks. Both times food was very good. The general tao is as good as any restaurant. So are the Dumplings in peanut sauce. The dish that surprised me the most is the deep fried chicken with cumin. This is a chicken chopped up that is very spicy with pita bits that were also good. Do not expect typical deep fried chicken as it is more oven roasted in a delicious spicy coating. Beware of the red peppers throughout. I will definitely order this in the future. This restaurant is right downtown on Guy street just south of Sherbrooke. Decor is nothing special but it is usually busy with asian families which is always a good sign. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g155032-d3404051-r511583801-Cuisine_Szechuan-Montreal_Quebec.html# read more

Totally like being in northern China! Westerns beware this is not Chinese American Szechuan! It's"s Hot, it's"s soupy and it's all oily. It's a perfect way to warm up here. Despite the other review, not to chew and eat the Szechuan flower peppercorns will leave you without the truly special experience! They taste of licorice, spice, citrus, and flowers and then make your tongue tingle and go numb. They totally are the crack in the pot! I was totally flushed with color like I had been at the beach all day when I left ! Enjoyed dumplings in chili sauce and beef and tofu pot. Nothing like toting a fire in the belly for the long cold walk back to the hotel! read more

This is it folks Spicy Szechuan at its best. Its been a while since I've been here last, but from what I can remember thei food portions were huge. So order wisely. I usualy get their szeuchuan noodles, rice, this other item that I cant really remember atm, and also on occasions some nice yummy cow stomach. Not gross, you dont really smell anything much and the meat is nice and tender. The flavors are incredible plus the prices decent so you can come really anytime. On the flavours itself the food is not at all oily from what Im used to and the staff is always accomodating to your tastes buds. As great on the eyes you even can smell the soulness and the quality never fails. They are mostly honest with their menus, so you can tell them about any of your allergies including MSG. They will patiently try to make the experience as less trouble free as possible. The staff is moderately friendly, and service really on time. This is great for a group of 4, for good interaction or even couples who want little time together enjoying over good food. I always leave with a big stomach so come with a good apetite. Enjoy!!! read more

Ive been coming here on and off for several years and haven't been in a while so I decided to come back. We got the cumin lamb and the green beans with ground pork. I could not believe how little lamb they gave us! It was literally 95% onions and 5% lamb and for 15-16$ it's unacceptable. While I hate to leave a bad review to a restaurant during these tough times this was really bad. The green beans were good and of a decent portion atleast. I will stick to Kanbai for now and maybe revisit one day when things get back to normal. read more

This place ruined all other Chinese restaurants for me. Seriously. I've eaten everything here that I can pronounce and even a couple things I can't. The absolute MUST from this place is the tofu flower with spicy Szechuan sauce. It comes with pork or chicken in a broth of dried, fried whole chilies. It is smaller than it used to be, but still quite a lot of food. Worth every bit of pain you will feel the next day. In fact, you'll probably grow to like it. I recommend you ask for a dish of steamed broccoli (not on menu) to incorporate with the dish. Other homeruns include the seafood sizzling rice, cumin beef, Szechuan peppercorn anything, green beans and pork and the shallot beef. All so very, very good. Remember, though, when they say cumin (or any other spice/flavor), they really, really mean it. Rating Scale: 1 Star: Avoid the town in which this place is located just to be safe. 2 Star: Risky at best. 3 Star: I'll try it again or consume here in a pinch. 4 Star: I eat here regularly if financially and calorically feasible. 5 Star: I'm comfortable taking other chefs here. read more

This was the first restaurant I went to on my recent trip to Montreal. I went there because I had been dying for hot pot, and boy did I get it! IT was just about all I could ask for. And it may seem strange to go to an Asia restaurant first thing in Montreal, but when you are jonesing for something real, authentic and good you just got to scratch the itch. It is small, and semi below street level but easy enough to find. I just sat down, told the waitress that I heard you have great hot pot and that is what I wanted. She said "are you sure, it is really hot" And I just looked her in the eye and told her I'm an adventurous eater and I'm not scared of Szechuan food. She suggested some of the cucumber salad as a side dish to help cool the heat, which sounded good. Shortly we got the salad and some beers. The salad looks like it should be one fire, as the chunks (and I mean chunks) of cucumber were swimming in an oily spicy looking sauce. but when you tasted it, there was a hint of mild chili, some garlic and then a bit of sweet that was very cooling. Then the big hot pot showed up. Brimming with good things. The burner was turned on and we sat back to wait while it came to a boil. You could see the Szechuan pepper corns amidst the meat, veggies, wood ear, tofu, bean sprouts and other goodies. A large heaping pile of chilies was on top as well. IT was hot, it was good, it was tingly. This is one of the few times I've felt a full body endorphin rush from eating. Three or four bits followed by the cucumber was perfect. The meat was supper tender and yummy. The tofu took on a great falvor from the hell broth. The bean sprouts were one of the best things and I'm not a big bean sprout person. I know why now people become addicted to this dish. Watching what others around us were eating, a lot of things looked really good and I wish I was going to be able to get try more of what they have to offer but maybe next trip. When we were paying the bill (very reasonable btw) the waitress asked us if we had anything like this back home, and I exclaimed "no nothing like it, no where even close to this good." We'll be back. That is for sure. She also asked us where we had heard about it, being in an out of the way place by Concordia University and being there on vacation. She didn't know they were on Yelp! Go Yelpers in Montreal go there, check in and eat their hot pot. YOu'll feel the tingle and become addicted. read more

Let's talk about this restaurant and how it is the BEST and most authentic Szechuan food that I have come across outside of China, and trust me, I have been to A LOT of Chinese restaurants all over the world. I am never disappointed by this place. Sure, the service may be a little slow, and you have to point at things on the menu when ordering, but the food is the right amount of spicy, the right amount of hot (if it's supposed to be hot), and the perfect amount of cooked. Every time I go there, I have to put on a pair of Lululemons because I just know that I'll end up stuffing my face till I can no longer breathe, and even then, when I'm done and have eaten my own body weight, I'm always a little bit sad that I can't eat anymore. Don't know what to order? Get the Ma Po Tofu, the Kung Pao Chicken, and ask for some sort of fish in this hot pot thing- I'm not sure what they put in there, but I'm pretty sure it's the most delicious Chinese dish ever. Don't forget to ask for lots of rice. It's REALLY spicy. Like- really REALLY spicy. read more

This is the best Chinese delivery I've had and I've ordered similar dishes in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto! Cumin lamb, Gong Bao chicken with peanuts, crispy beef, and hunan dumplins in peanut sauce all showed up within 35 minutes for $48 with taxes. With rice, it was enough food for four or five. Spicy and full of great flavours, all these dishes were rich in their own unique tastes and textures. I would recommend laying out any of these on a bed of rice to absorb the outstanding sauces and avoid wasting a single drop. I ate almost nothing but this food all weekend and somehow managed to avoid the usual "burning ring of fire" that tends to accompany these meals as they depart my body. read more

We turned up at 7ish as a party of 8, which was just the right time because it was full half an hour later. We decided to each order a dish and share, and it ended up being way too much food. My two favourites: - sweet and sour pork, which I was not looking forward to, imagining it would be deep-fried, sweet and sticky à la cantonnaise, but which was succulent and served with a subtle and delicious sauce to complement not drown it; - the spicy pork intestine and noodle soup, which I would have liked to order but didn't think my party wanted to share, but which one brave soul did take and no-one liked but me - it was so tender, the spiciest dish we ate, and the noodles were the thick, doughy, udon type that didn't get soggy, even when I had them for the following day's lunch. The one dish that disappointed was the cumin-fried chicken. It was dry and gristly. Otherwise, everything was great. Yes, the decor is sparse, but you expect that from most Chinese restaurants. The service was extremely prompt and the prices more than reasonable, and I am definitely going back with all my friends. read more

Atmosphere, Service, Food - here we go. Atmosphere: If you are coming to eat at Cuisine Szechuan, you are definitely coming for the food and not the ambiance. In fact - there isn't anything that can resemble an ambiance at Cuisine Szechuan, it's simply a square dinning room filled with long tables and a mish-mash of chairs - reminiscent of an army mess hall or a very very small high school cafeteria. Service: The service at Cuisine Szechuan, as many Chinese restaurants located in the Concordia / St. Catherine's street area west of Guy Street, is geared to simply bring you the food you ordered and then plenty of water at various intervals. If you do not know what to order, or have any questions, don't expect much in the way of help. It may be an issue of language (French or English) or motivation - but whatever it is, it does not bode well for those who like to ask for a little extra information. Food: I'am by no means an expert on Szechuan cuisine, but my Chinese friends assure me that Cuisine Szechuan's food is what they would call Chinese. Proof of this is that Cuisine Szechuan is often filled with Chinese people - there's no better recommendation than that! There are several types of soups on the menu (jackpot!), along with an assortment of dishes made with rice, noodles, or protein (chicken and pork mainly). Careful it's Spicy! read more

Spicy! Spicy! Spicy! The service is friendly and the restaurant usually gets full at peak hours. They have a long list of choices, most are big portions that come at an inexpensive price. As an appetizer, the spicy green beans are perfect and very satisfying. It is definitely one of the restaurant's staple items! Their kung pao chicken is delicious, of course I hand-picked most of the chilis out of the dish as I literally thought I was going to pass out at one point, and even then the chicken had absorbed more than enough spice... but apart from the spicy punch, I loved it. And I'll still give it a great rating, because that's true szechuan for you! Get ready to sweat. Good tip: Order a beer, it helps wash down the spiciness and it's more successful than water! read more

Used to be a favorite of my partner and mine for several years. Then this year something went wrong behind the scenes. The last two times have been terrible. They served mapo tofu without any szechuan pepper or doban jan (basically just gluey tofu without proper seasoning), so we didn't order it again even though it was one of our favorite things from this restaurant. So we played it safe or so we thought and got the crispy eggplant and beef...and both were too salty to eat. We literally tried soaking the eggplant in water because we were so hungry and it was still inedible and we've had stomach pains for the week since. We're not the only ones, the two other most recent local reviews state the same problem. We don't even know if this was just salt or some other chemical that doesn't belong in food. We're not anti-salt types. We're used to salt cod and other high sodium foods. This was insane and inedible and the hot and sour soup was flat out rancid (Tasted of mold). We were going to accept a compensation but we're frankly afraid to eat there again at this point. There has to be some new staff or something because we've come here dozens of times throughout the years, someone who doesn't care who the're harming. I've reported this issue to both the montreal and provincial health board for review cause seriously guys you can't serve people dangerous food. We liked this place a lot. read more

We checked on Yelp and saw this place had 4 starts and 41 reviews before we walked to this restaurant from our hotel. There were a lot of people eating there on a Monday night at 7:50pm when we walked in the restaurant. We were very happy that we could have "to go" so we did not have to eat at the restaurant because the restaurant smelled greasy. We ordered fried rice and a vegetable dish. We had to prepay the food - almost $20 including taxes. I asked how long it would take and the casher told us 10 to 15 minutes. We went out the restaurant to get fresh air and checked out other local stores. We came back after 15 minutes and waited for another 15 minutes before we got our food. Our cloth, face, and hair all smelled greasy after sitting in the restaurant for 15 minutes. The fried rice was average. The quality of the rice was not very good - mostly broken rice pieces. The vegetable dish was very salty and lots of "water". The portion did not look as the same size as the people who ate at the restaurant or the photos on yelp. I would compare this place as one of the greasy and old New York China Town place but without the good food. Panda Express had better food. I cannot compare this restaurant to other Montreal Chinese restaurant since this was our fist Chinese restaurant experience in Montreal and Canada. read more

I've been there several times right before they close. They always welcome us even though it was closing time. The service was fast and the food was mouth numbing good. The spice is what makes this restaurant so good. It's not spicy spicy but flavorful spicy. Expect to sweat because 90% of their dishes are super spicy (and good). The price is always right. We go in group and share everything, and it comes to 10-12$ per person. read more

We ordered 4 dishes. 3 spicy, 1 dish for reprieve (thank god!), Our spicy dishes were: "water boiled fish". It was a recommended dish from our waiter. As well as the "hui guo ro" . A tad spicy and not as spicy. They were unfortunately without the Szechuan style . And to hit it off for the spicy team - the lamb pot. For the non-spicy dish, we ordered the seafood crispy rice dish. The was a tad spicy, not killer. Although a tad on the spicy side so definitely needed some rice as compliment. Then came our . The portion was huge and it was spicy. Luckily, this is the good spicy where you can still taste the ingredients such as the nicely cooked fish. As we ate away enjoying our first 2 dishes, the waiter brought our third. lamb boiled in chili pepper soup. Plus they put in on a mini stove to keep it piping hot. This was spicy! But definitely a treat. So for those who love spicy and aren't afraid of chili peppers. Try it! Also, service was good. Tea came regularly and the ice cold water saved me a couple of times. read more

Not a very original name, but very good food. Warm welcome. Small underground place, but tables are not cramped. Very extensive menu with a just a few not Szechuan/spicy options (won ton soup, general Tao, etc.) nice if someone in your group can't handle spicy. The sweet and sour soup was thick and delicious. The vegetables were crunchy, tasty and spicy, a bit too salty to my taste. The beef was very tender, with complex and spicy flavors. Good efficient service. A few beers available. Very nice warming dinner on a cold January night. read more

My favourite Chinese restaurant in Montreal. It's clean and pleasant. The food is not the usual mystery-orange-sauce takie-outie. They do excellent Szechuan cumin meats, very good fish and seafood dishes, and some specialty orders hard to find elsewhere. It's a real family business. Make sure to ask questions before ordering if you are not used to Szechuan -- it's very spicy and uses a lot of both red and Szechuan peppers. A real culinary experience in a sea of bland won ton soups and general tao lumps. Please never leave. read more

So incredibly disappointed. There is no way that the reviews posted about this place could be authentic. First course- peanut butter dumplings arrived in a pool of water with a glob of peanut sauce on top. They were not even strained properly. Next pepper chicken with crispy spinach - the spinach had mounds of raw white sugar on it like someone just took a teaspoon and dropped in over. The chicken was dry and really tough- more like overcooked veal than chicken breast- inedible. The cumin beef was ok but was basically a plate of white onions with some slices of beef covered in cumin seeds. See the photos- I wish I was exaggerating but sadly this was our experience. Montreal can do so much better than this read more

The rice was good. Everything else was less than stellar. We ordered the General Tao's chicken. It was decent, but it was too spicy for our taste buds. The service was terrible. The restaurant was crowded; they struggled to seat people, there were major delays in service, and they struggled to communicate with some monolingual French clients. I wasn't completely dissatisfied until it was time to pay the bill. I gave the server the exact amount on the bill and she shoved the bill in my face. "This only include tax, no tip include in bill, you didn't pay tip." It is incredibly rude to ask for a tip - one I was going to give her anyway. I ended up tipping her, but I encourage others to perhaps not go here anymore... or better yet, go but don't tip her. read more
