Old School Cantonese food in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown…read more It's been a while since I've had complimentary pork bone and vegetable soup and seen white plastic sheeted table tops for easy cleanup. 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. Salt and Pepper Squid was a huge portion and similar to Pork, very crunchy. This was a huge portion. Got seated right away in a packed restaurant on a Friday evening. Service was quick and friendly (except for one dude who took exception to me want to pack my own leftovers). LOL.

Keung Kee could be anywhere from 3-5 stars depending on what you like and what you expect, lets…read morejust get that out of the way. 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!

Being a big steam rice roll fan living in New York, I looked up a spot to introduce my European…read morefriend to them when meeting up in Montreal and discovered Yin Ji Chang Fen. What I didn't know at the time is: (1) they also have NYC locations, including their U.S. flagship 1/2 block from Tonii's, one of my favorite Chinatown cheap eats and (2) Yin Ji Chang Fen's chains origin is in Guangzhou in 1958... and that location still exists! So, it was a must try! Glad we stopped by and would recommend it for a try, especially if you are looking for a convenient bite while on Ste. Catherine Oeste. (Note - Did not get the chance to check out other steamed rice roll places in Montreal, but will definitely do on my next trip.) About the restaurant experience... while they have printed menus, you use the QR code on the table to order, although there was a helpful waiter to assist. We ordered a fresh Shrimp with Chives and a Roasted Duck with Chives Steamed Rice Roll. Peanut sauce needed to be ordered as an extra. They provide complementary hot tea. (You can also order a can of Chinese iced tea.) Yin Ji Chang Fen's rolls were delicious, especially the roast duck! The sauces added make the rolls even more vibrant. Note - Didn't get the chance to check out other Montreal steamed rice roll places, but will definitely do on my next trip. Also at one point back home, will also check out their N.Y. Chinatown location to compare. To add, Congee appears to be another Yan Ji specialty, however it's not something I typically order.

I went to Dak Hing Barbecue because it was supposed to have the best Chinese BBQ in Montreal. The…read morerestaurant is a small hole in the wall place near Plamondon Metro station. The service is friendly and I ordered my usual soy sauce chicken along with roast pork. Not the best Chinese BBQ I have eaten, but it was pretty good for Montreal.

Hole in the wall place, almost literally. They only take cash or e-transfer (not sure what that is…read morehonestly). There are two menus, one for meat and one for meals with rice. I opted for a two meat combo with crispy pork and crispy duck (which added $2 to my bill, alongside rice and a few pieces of marinated cabbage. The restaurant itself is so small that there aren't any tables or chairs so I got it to go, went back to my hotel, and enjoyed a delicious meal. After a roughly 20 minute ride back to my hotel, the skin on the meat was still crispy and everything was still warm. The meat was moist and flavorful with the perfect amount of both sweet and savory with quite the pronounced hint of Chinese five-spice. The meal is incredibly simple but done very well. The restaurant is a bit of a shock upon first glance but the staff are incredibly kind.

Super modern and clean with very high ceilings, bright orange and green trim over white walls. Amazing logo, specialty packaging for each genre of dish. Very Instagrammable and by design; I imagine. Also has a little bit of a modern Hong Kong cafe. Friendly counter person and a great hustle bustle vibe. Upon an subsequent visit I can now say that the dim sums I mentioned above are spot on and the salt and pepper chicken rice bowl was also no slouch. I preferred the appetizers between the two and look forward to trying more of their focused and fun menu. Love the signature chopsticks and attention to packaging detail. They've got it going on!

If you are at the Palais de Congres,…read more Keep Cuisine Cantonaise on your radar. It is only two blocks from the convention center. The food offerings in the Palais itself are super-weak. Unlike most other cities, there are not a ton of fast food places near the convention center to service the congress attendees. But strangely, while most convention center restaurants are super-packed during a congress, Cuisine Cantonaise is 80 percent empty. There are always tables available. And this is despite the fact that the food on Cuisine Cantonaise is really good. I don't know why this is happening, but I ain't arguing. I ate here five times and was happy each and every time. * * * The cooking is Old School Cantonese. A distinctive feature is that the house is not big on sauces. They like their food plain or with a simple Chinese white sauce. (That nearly invisible stuff that makes the food shiny.) The white sauce is fine. They also do a sweet and sour like sauce that is absolutely excellent. The food you get will be unadorned or with one of those two sauces. Some items get a light sprinkling of black beans. * * * When you serve your food "up close and naked" like that, the basic ingredients have to be pretty darn good. Their basic ingredients are pretty darn good. Everything I ate was good - but the star dish of the week was something they called "Cantonese Chow Mein". I am sure it has another name in real Cantonese. This was a dry crispy noodle nest with white sauced Chinese vegetables and chicken on top. I could eat that all day and all night. But I never ate a bad dish there in five meals with two to six dishes ordered at every meal. The menu is vast - although not as big as it seems - since many of the plates are quite similar. For the record, the team of men and women who work here are ancient ... I believe the restaurant goes back a long way. In Canada, Chinese food shows up in two forms. There is Chinatown food that captures a first generation of Chinese-Canadian cuisine. It is in the old centers of Chinese residence of the early twentieth century. Cuisine Cantonaise is of this Old School. Canada is enjoying a delightful insurgence of young Chinese techies, professionals, and children of wealthy families back in China. They are young, hip and spend heavily on urban amenities. Their first rate restaurants are out of the traditional Chinatowns, in the new chic neighborhoods where they have apartments. I personally prefer the younger generation's choices in food and restaurants. But I can be induced to go traditional. When a traditional restaurant is near my convention - and it has a lot of seats and is good - count me in. If you are at the Palais, you should count yourself in too.

I ordered noodle size #5, and the texture was just so-so--it didn't have the chewiness I was looking forward to, which was a bit disappointing. I also found the beef to be underwhelming. The slices were very thin, which can be nice in some cases, but here they felt a bit lacking in substance and didn't have much texture or flavor. It ended up being just okay and didn't add much to the overall dish. I ordered a medium bowl, but the portion was quite large--definitely more than I expected. A small would have been enough for me, so keep that in mind when ordering. We arrived around 8:30 pm and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated right away. The service was pretty good overall, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing.
