Man Li Restaurant — Restaurant in Montreal

I went there with my best friend about 2 days ago. While it looked like a ghetto hideout for a Chinese mob reunion, I must say it is "LEGIT". The place seems to have gotten most of their tables from the Salvation Army across the street though...

The prices are quite adequate, the meals are DELICIOUS (first time I eat eggplant and DEFINITELY not the last) and the cashier is very friendly and talkative.

The store is small but it mostly seems to do deliveries. Since it is a family-owned restaurant, they are willing to do custom orders!

Don't judge a place by its looks or you might be missing out on a gem!

Decor: 2/5 (Not the kind of place you want to bring a date to) Food: 5/5 (OMG NOM NOM NOM) Prices 4/5 (a plate full of eggplant with sauce and free rice on the side for 12.50$? Awesome!) Staff: 4/5 (VERY friendly cashier and custom orders allowed :). The owners seem to not be able to speak English or French adequately which, in my opinion, adds to the whole "We're an actual Chinese restaurant" feel. )

Way worth a visit. Authentic...

First of all. The food is great. Im not going to lie. But the customer service is absolutely mortifying!! I brought my mother in law there for her first time. We ate inside. I found a hair in my cantonese. I politely brought it up to the server. Then he started to go crazy and brought a racist remark to us saying that chinese hair isnt like ours ( we are a mixed race ). He said it was the baby corn??? Anyways i apoligised to him saying that i was sorry for bringing it up. Then je got into my mother in laws face and started yelling profusely at her. He stuck his middle fingers directly in jer face. Then he jumped up in her face flaring his chest as if he was going to fight her!! He left and the other workers were understanding. BUT i can see why NO ONE eats in there because it is a very unpleasant atmospher and there is no heat at all!! If you are going to order from here take it out or have...

WOW! My dad introduced me to this place, and I got food from here twice within a week. Now, I will first address the location itself- yes, it does look a bit dingy and not the sort of place where you would want to dine in, but I didn't dine in anyway so I can't speak to that any further. Secondly, I can't speak to all the other reviewers on here complaining about delivery, because on both occasions I went to pick up my food, and got a discount for doing so! The food, I must say, is excellent; their chop suey won ton is absolutely amazing, and stuffed with SHRIMP (if you like that sort of thing)! The food (that soup in particular) actually harkens very much to an upper-class Chinese restaurant. Just try it; take the drive over, pick up your own food, bring it home to eat, focus on the food and the food alone, and you'll be a very...
