Food was fine, but the service was very slow. On a Sunday morning, we waited about 30 minutes for our noodles, and the second dish came 10–15 minutes after the first.

would love to give this place a better review, but the service is no good. the food is very good, unique, creative… but i just can’t go back. the older waiter when they first opened at least had a certain charm, even if he was super awkward and not very welcoming. but most recent visit with the young guy was just so cold and unwelcoming.. unless you are a chinese speaker, then he is bowing down practically kissing your feet… three times i went there and they tell us, “sit wherever you like”, so i choose my seat and sit down, and they go, “oh no, not there!”… so why are you telling me to seat myself if then you make me get up awkwardly and move. what a terrible, unpleasant start to my experience. infuriating even. how can that happen every time?.. the last time i went (and last time i will go), the young guy says oh no you can’t sit there, despite telling me to sit wherever i please… then someone else comes in later, sits where we were told not to sit, and he just lets them sit there and sets up the table.. and no, they did not have a reservation, they just have these random rules that apply half the time… just so, SO weird. then he practically throws the food on the table without a care, you just can’t do that. i really dislike the electronic QR code ordering too, because i am out to relax and unwind, not be on my phone. it’s like chinese social credit score. i was willing to let it slide, but no, it’s a bad system. you should have paper menus for people who rather do that. what if i don’t have a smartphone? anyway, the food is great but unfortunately i will never eat it again because i just can’t support this place. terrible service. sorry. you guys have the “yum” part, but there’s no “shine” about it. it’s so rare i have such a bad experience with the service at a restaurant - you guys just seem clueless.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. Regarding this employee, I do not deny the issues you mentioned, he is exactly the same concerns I observed. In fact, before you posted this review, we had already had a serious conversation with him about these problems and explained what proper service should look like. Clearly, before he was able to improve, my guests had the same experience that you described. For this, I would like to offer my sincere apologies. I will also ask him to carefully read your feedback so he understands that this is not just my personal opinion, but a real customer experience. Regarding the QR code ordering system, it is because our restaurant updates its menu every month. Constantly reprinting paper menus would not be environmentally friendly and would create a lot of waste. Today, most guests are comfortable using QR codes, which allows our staff to spend more time assisting guests who are unable to use smartphones and to better answer questions from those who need help. If a guest does not have a smartphone or encounters any issue while ordering, our staff is always available to assist with placing the order, and we also provide tablets for guests without smartphones. Many restaurants have adopted QR code ordering to reduce manual ordering errors and improve efficiency, and we hope you can understand our approach. Thank you again for enjoying our food. I sincerely apologize that the service affected your experience, and if you are willing to give us another opportunity, I would be happy to apologize to you in person.

I’ve been a client for years even before this restaurant was opened. All their plates are tasty, some are authentic from Yunnan, a province in the southwest part of china, and some are “southeast Asia fusion creation “ of the owners, they all are truly delicious 🤤 I live far but every time I m in Laval this is my must go place. All fresh ingredients, no pre-made frozen meals ever. Love 💕 recommend if you love Thai , Cambodian or Vietnamese food !

Had dinner with friends at this restaurant. We tried several appetizers and some noodle dishes and they were all tasty. Our favorite was the Spicy Rice Noodle With Braised Pork and Beef.

Best restaurant in Montreal —the rice noodle is even better than Toronto's, and the soup tastes so good. All of my family loves the food here, definitely recommend!

I’ve been to a lot of Chinese restaurants, but this one stands out. The menu items are very unique and delicious, with flavour combinations I’ve never tasted before. One of the friendly owners who served us said they don’t just make the mediocre Chinese food, they come up with their own unique menu Will definitely go again.
