Very cute homey restaurant with Shanghainese cuisine.
Soup dumplings: we took the classic pork and the pork/shrimp. They were both very good. The only sauce that was provided was a type of vinegar with ginger and soy sauce on the table. Maybe it's the traditional Shanghai dipping sauce. It would have been nice to have chili or something, maybe I should've asked.
Spicy steamed chicken with chili sauce: the best dish that I've tried there. The chicken was juicy and was drowned in a tahini oily sauce. It was delicous, but I would've appreciated it more if it was more spicy.
Spicy cucumber: basically cucumber pieces with tahibi and maybe soy sauce? There were chili flakes visible but it was not spicy at all. It was good, but I expected more for spiciness.
Shanghai style noodles: looked delicous, it was perfectly cooked noodles that tasted like nothing. It is soy sauce based and we chose to not add the tahini sauce. It was extremely bland. We had to add more soy sauce.
Spicy fried pork noodles: the pork did not look like the one on the picture, it was definitely not spicy and although it looked fancier than the shanghai noodles, it tasted exactly the same, which is absolutely nothing.
The noodle dishes were very disappointing. The spice level here is zero because all the spicy dish did not taste spicy at all. The only thing worth it here are the dumplings, very good and for a good price as well. The sauce provided grew on us after we...
Read moreI finally tried Fu chun Montreal for the first time. First things first: those who did mention that the taste, here, is more authentic Asian that Americanized Chinese (by Montreal Chinese restaurant standards) were right, and that is, of course, a great thing. That Fu chun was great at doing dumplings was not a surprise (indeed, they have some of the finest dumplings in Montreal, right now) as that is what they are known for, obviously, but what surprised me is that their non-dumpling food items are really well made for a Chinese restaurant in Montreal (for eg, Shanghai Style Soy Sauce Noodle, the Spring rolls , the Steamed chicken in Szechuan chili sauce, etc... were all better than what most of their competitors are pulling off, in Montreal, right now). Easily one of the better Chinese restaurants in Montreal (not just one of the best dumplings in town). And the service is good, too. The food is actually affordable (relatively to what you get and pay for in Montreal, these days). I am happily adding Fu chun to my go-to restaurants in Montreal. As long as Fu chun keeps their good standards, I'll keep going back with the same beautiful smile of happiness that was on my face when I finished this meal. Long...
Read more🌟 Cuisine de Shanghai – A Hidden Gem for Authentic Vegetarian Chinese Cuisine! 🌟
What a cute little tucked-away treasure this place is! Cuisine de Shanghai serves up truly authentic Shanghai-style Chinese food, and I can confidently say I had the best vegetarian Chinese meal of my life here.
I started with the lentil and mushroom steamed dumplings, and wow — they arrived piping hot (so hot I nearly burnt my tongue, but absolutely worth it!). The dumpling skin was delicate yet firm, and the filling was deeply flavorful, earthy, and comforting.
Next up: the Buddha Bowl — a stunning medley of perfectly steamed veggies and noodles, artfully sprinkled with sesame seeds. The subtle smoky flavor running through the bowl elevated it to something special. Every bite was balanced, fresh, and full of umami.
The service was lovely — warm, attentive, and thoughtful. I even had the chance to meet the chef and personally compliment them before leaving. You can truly feel the passion in every dish.
Whether you're vegetarian or not, this place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates thoughtfully crafted, soulful...
