Description: Cuisine AuntDai started in Feb 2014 and was voted number one best Chinese restaurant in Montreal in 2015 by CTV news. We provide authentic Chinese food. We take great pride of the quality and service we offer to our customers. After our restaurant was destroyed by a fire. We move to downtown on Jan 1st 2018. We have 46 seats on the first floor and 56 seats on the second floor. Second floor could be reserved for some events. The second floor, Birch Hall, we have a rectangle stone table under a big sky window, we call it Sky-Table. Near a big window facing the St-Mathieu street, we have a big round table with lazy Susan, we name it Jacques-Table after one of our best customers. At the back of Birch Hall, we have a large lounge area under a huge square sky window which can seat 10 people with a tatami. Also we have a office for about 6 people. Both lounge and office are free to use upon reservation. We also have a small library with books donated by customers.

14 year old daughter: Its so good, can I eat this every day.
11 year old daughter: I hope we have left overs
Mom: Its like my mouth is traveling or is back home.

We love food. We want to eat here everyday.

Something the restaurant could improve on:
1) A bit more food in the containers. I am used to overflowing containers of Chinese
2) Using compostable or carboard take out containers to help the environment
3) Give me some food for free since I want to live in your kitchen!

I heard about this restaurant from the New YorkTimes. I am a NewYorker transplanted in Montreal. They did not lie, it is the best.

we are vegetarian so we did not try the meat dishes.

Lunch today. Chose Aunt Dai because of reviews. Pad thai was flavoured with sugar and salt only and a few raw green peppers. It was bland and amateur. Waitress said that the chef was late or absent. So why not close instead of serving bad food. My two companions were equally disappointed.

Located on a busy area downtown, this place is easy to miss.

The food is prepared well and has a great balance of spice and texture.

The decor is odd and service almost too prompt but the food is the star.

Look at the printed form and you see they support a free meeting space and support language learning. The beer is pronounced Ting Tao. The serving sizes are large and dinner for two with a good tip will run about $80.
