Owner's words:
More than once, More than twice, our customers told me AuntDai has the best General Tao Chicken in Montreal. Hands half way down or 3 quarters way down maybe, I am no expert on North American Chinese food but I like our General Tao a lot, a lot more than what I would have thought. We use high quality chicken breast and our own special sauce.
I am really proud we have this great dish even though deep down I hope all the items on our menu are authentic Chinese.

Owner's words:
This is new on our menu, I did NOT have chance to try this one yet.
According to a lot of customers, this one is very popular, I still don't have chance to taste it. Looks like I should spend more time eating in my own restaurant.

Owner's words:
This new dish on the menu is very spicy and very authentic. We were asked by a lot of die hard Chinese food lovers to add this plate and we finally made it.
If you like spicy food and you love real Chinese food you may have good chance loving this plate.

Owner's words:
little little bit spicy, more flavor of cumin, very tasty. We used to have the beef pieces on small sticks but several customers cut their lips by it thinking it was some hard ingredient (They must have watches some shows about weird Chinese food). To avoid incidents like this, no more sticks. Some good infusion from the overly fried onion slices (which you can eat).
definitely recommend this.

Ingredients: pork, green pepper, garlic, Sichuan corn pepper
Owner's words:
This is one of my favorites on the menu, every time I eat in the restaurant, our kitchen staff would have this plate because they know I love this one unless we are really low on stock because a lot of customers love this dish as well. It's medium spicy and little bit oily because of the pork belly. I can eat a lot of rice with HuiGuoRou and really clean the plat because even the sauce and small fallen meat pieces left on the place can help me get down one bowl of rice.

Ingredients: pork, cabbage, vermicelli (casserole)

Owner's words:
This is a very popular dish among the customers who don't care its greasiness. The flavor is really rich and perfectly balanced. You almost want to sniff the tasty hot air above this beautiful dish. This dish is really hearty and you can eat a lot of bowls of rice with it (and the rice is 1.49 per person, free refill, very good for this one). So even you love it, you may not want to have it every time if you are watching your weight because you know you cannot stop if you have started on this one. This is the only reason I try to keep myself away from this plate.
If you really want it, simply tell our waitress you want "Hong Shao Rou".

Ingredients: pork, wood ear, bamboo shoots, green peppers, red peppers
Owner's words:
This is the number one choice dish ordered by Chinese customers across whole China according to an Internet survey and I totally believe that. When I was China and went to a restaurant, I always ordered this dish. It's so popular that it has so many different versions in China. Since I have so high expection on this dish, I am not a huge fan for our version to be honest. But don't get me wrong, the plate at our restaurant is very tasty too, it's just different from those where I went to university.

This dish was taken off from the online menu for several months during the pandemic.

It was always available on the paper menu inside the restaurant.

It's made with pork belly slices and prickled vegetables. It looks fatty but no so when you taste it.

On May 15 2021, I explained the dine-in version of this dish in the video

Owner's comments:
Personally, I don't like plates with intestines and I tried not to eat them until we opened a new restaurant in Montreal downtown, so many people ask about this. As a business owner, sometimes you have to do something you may not like to do, kidding, I like this plate, recommend it even though I won't eat it often.
PS. after having it several times, I really like this one. It's one of my new favorites now. If you don't try you never know what you have missed.

Owner's comments:
A lot of people love this dish, very delicious. In Chinese, we say meat on bones tastes better. To enjoy this, you need to get your hands dirty. Good thing is that we provide one-use gloves and the bones are every easy to tear apart so we won't leave any small piece of meat.

Owner's words:
This is one of my favorites. The chicken is crispy outside and moisture inside with really spicy taste. It really shows how well our chefs master the temperature of the wok. I am really proud we have this dish done so well. I personally tried the same dish at many different Chinese restaurant in Montreal, I really believe we have the best.
Warning: very spicy, chicken bones.
One of most critical skills of Chinese cook is "Huo Hou"(my translation is the mastery of temperature and timing).

Ingredients: chicken, red chili,

Kung Pao chicken is very well known not only in China but all over the world. There are so many versions of this dish as well. Our version has good amount of flavors from soy sauce, chili paste, fava bean paste, garlic, vinegar, sugar. Also we put some roasted peanuts on top. So far we get mixed feedbacks about this dish, most people love it while some may think it not authentic enough.

When you feel like some crazy spicy food, you can try this one.
It has pork, chicken, squid in it.

Owner's words:
Don't be fooled by the name, it's not very spicy, maximum medium spicy. It's very tasty but with relatively small potion the reason is that the big shrimp is very expensive.

video of this dish.

Owner's words:
This dish is very popular among all customers especially those who don't eat too much real authentic Chinese food, this one is like the step stone for the real Chinese food lover.
Also this one is not spicy at all which I guess is the main reason it's accepted so widely.
Again the potion is not big cause of the price of the big shrimps.

Owner's words:
As the name indicates, it's mainly fish fillets and tomato sauce, like pasta with tomato sauce, it's a safe choice.
No bones in the fish, if you like some good flavors with small fried fish fillet.
It's kind of sweet.

Owner's words:
This one is very popular among Chinese population.
I really crave this one whenever I have the chance.
In China, we most probably will use the fresh fish but due to the extreme high price, we can only use the frozen fish fillet. Anyway, it tastes good but be careful it's very spicy.
Also, don't leave the bean sprouts,they are tasty.

Owner's words:
Squid with strong flavor from Satay sauce on an iron hot plate.
It's a good plate and most importantly, it gives those who like squid a good choice. We don't have a lot of seafood dishes at Cuisine AuntDai after all.
