Excellente découverte a Joliette! Portion qui frise la démesure, service étonnamment très rapide, le tout cuisiné a la perfection👌

Endroit agréable. Les assiettes sont abondantes. Les aliments sont frais (ex.: salade, légumes). Je n'ai pas apprécié (pas mauvais mais pas la meilleure) la sauce dans le plat de poulet aux arachides. On peut décelé un petit goût de beurre d'arachide mais le goût s'approche plus de celui d'un bouillon de boeuf. Service rapide pour un vendredi soir. Prix versus portion, raisonnable.

Le restaurant est idéalement situé et dispose d'une salle à manger spacieuse, ce qui élimine le besoin de réserver, même pendant les soirées de festival. La qualité de la nourriture est excellente et le rapport qualité-prix est indéniable. De plus, les clients ont la possibilité d'apporter leur propre vin, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus abordable. Que ce soit en groupe ou en couple, ce restaurant est un choix fiable et satisfaisant.

The windows are dirty, you wonder what the kitchen looks like. The place is huge, the chairs are not padded, its surprising when you sit down! it was our first time and last time! Service without a smile, food ok nothing more.

Worst restaurant Ive been to, the place is not clean, the service was forgotten, and the food ouach I ate 2 mouthfuls for fear of being sick.

December 22, 2023

I cant believe they dare call it fine Chinese cuisine. All the cuisine is really ordinary/mediocre and the service too. The chicken with curry sauce.... misery... it tasted like tomato sauce with an indescribable spice. The glass of water was not bad!

Very ordinary. General Taos chicken was seriously overcooked and practically unbreaded. Chicken with peanut sauce Very heavy. Fried ice cream not good at all! The ice cream tasted like the freezer and the breading was mushy. Fried banana Very good though. positive point: bring your own wine

December 22, 2021

Extremely crowded room, no health measures respected (no distance of 2 meters between tables, no partition, no register at the entrance). Extremely noisy. 1 single waitress for the entire restaurant which has a capacity of several hundred people. Extremely noisy like in a cafeteria. There were 4 of us and we arrived at 7 p.m. We had to signal the waitress after 30 minutes to order, and were only served from 8:40 p.m. (2 plates), then 10 minutes later, 1 plate, then 5 minutes later the last plate . We saw other tables where people received their plates not all at the same time or, after everyone else at the table had finished eating for a while, one person received their plate. Not enough staff compared to the customers present. Meal was nothing extraordinary or that justified the price. In short, really lousy customer experience and really disappointing taste experience. I do not recommend this restaurant in any way.

I ordered dekois pi jler even not finished it was so bad, my daughter also. it expensive. the portions leave you with a small end. but the complement is that the waiter (owner) sees that we hate it but asks us if we want a dessert with our table dhôte...the extra ice cream he said...our plates are full we really devoured our peanut chicken (just some chilli and a shitload of peanut butter and mushrooms) DEGUELLASE.

I went there at lunchtime. Very calm. Fast service. Delicious Wontong soup (with a little taste of toasted sesame). I had a plate of grilled chicken, beef and shrimp. The chicken was tender and sweet (marinade). The beef was thin, tender and well cooked but a little bland. The skewer of 3 grilled shrimp was delicious. The accompanying rice and salad (lettuce and coleslaw) was okay. No soy sauce on the table and I was not offered any. Correct service nothing more. You can bring your own wine.
