Restaurant FamiLi — Restaurant in Montreal

Went a few months ago with a friend; we were hungry, the prices were cheap and she remembered it being recommended on a neighborhood facebook group. Well here's the deal: food was mediocre at best; my room temperature fried rice smelled like it had been left out too long (within a minute later I heard another customer repeatedly complain about exactly the same issue to the waitress ad/or owner?), the pineapple chicken was like a hide and seek game with the meat/dough ratio. The wonton soup was as disappointing: again too doughy and not enough filling. My friend and I ended up leaving almost half of the food behind (we actually forced ourselves to eat because we hate wasting) and swore never to return there. Here's another tip: if you walk into a Chinese restaurant and they don't have chopsticks, leave immediately. Honestly I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't 100% traditional Chinese food; all I know is that it...

Not to many Mom and Pop Chinese restaurants left in the Villeray area. This is my go to place for regular Chinese food.(Chop Suey, Fried Rice, Spareribs, Egg roll, and Won-ton soup, and why not, Beef & Broccoli) The " Diner Deluxe" for two is what I usually order. Portions should be of equal sizes, I find some portions sizes to be small for 2 people, like their beef and broccoli, "where's the beef"? There should be no extra charge for changing items, as long as you are ordering food in the same combo group section, like at Fu-Lams on Jean-Talon east, where their portions are very generous.

To the owners of FamiLi, if you continue to penny pinch your customers with high prices, and small portions, you will not get my business anymore. Stop being cheap.

All in all, I give this Chinese Restaurant in Villeray a...

Me and my wife regularly order here (Chow Mein Kantose and Wonton Soup) and always find the food tasty, very good quantity especially for the price.

Just keep in mind, like others said, this is not haute Chinese Cuisine. But if you're craving Chinese without breaking the bank, this is the place to order.

P.S. I notice some people complain and make bad comments such as Wonton in the Wonton soup is more dough and hardly any filling.

That one in particular is true. However, they forget to mention that you get a lot of crispy vegetables in it, shrimp and other piece of meat. This makes the meal quite filling that you can easily ignore...
