Three words. \"Westernized Chinese Food\". If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, you're going to the wrong place. However, if you're looking for plates of meat bathed in sweet and sour sauce, soups laden with enough monosodium glutamate to kill a baby elephant, and tacky decor featuring dragons on every piece of furniture, then you'll be happier than a pig in shit at this joint. Most of the restaurants in Montreal's Chinatown are designed to cater to clueless tourists. The \"Chinese\" restaurant does not even serve a mostly Asian clientele. Most of the people eating there are individuals whose only other Asian culinary experience was eating $2 chow-mein smothered in peanut butter while they stumbled home drunk from a random club. Seriously, if you want the real culinary experience, look for restaurants with Chinese people. I'm talking about the restaurants that hang fucking animal carcasses in the display window, that perpetually smell of foul ingredients, and that have furniture so old you can't help but wonder what generation of their ancestors made this shit. You know to a great degree of certainty that people are not going to these because \"the interior design is like sooo cool!\" No, they're going there cause they know from experience that these places serve awesome food.
