Resto Chillax

McGill student’s prayers for a great place to go to that’s reasonable and close by have been answered! I was really excited when I saw their menu; dumplings this close to McGill campus?! I’m sold!
I ordered the vegetable wonton soup and they even asked me if I wanted a vegetable or chicken broth (yay for vegetarians!) The soup arrived piping hot filled with fresh vegetables and a very generous amount of wontons. The broth itself was soothing, flavourful, with really well developed flavours. The wontons were incredible, cooked perfectly and the stuffing was so fresh.
The restaurant itself is well lit and has a really cosy feel that’s going to be great for Montréal winters. The ambience is great, clean and well decorated which is a step above your typical asian place. Most asian places within this price range do not make you want to go there and catch up with a friend who you haven’t seen in a while (usually you just want to get in and get out!).
Overall; fantastic food, friendly service, cosy atmosphere and for a really good price. I’ll be returning to try a lot more of their menu!

New Asian Café on du Parc with a pretty interior. But the ambience is confusing. I was the only customer in the entire place. And they still made me seat in a dark corner. The owner and his family were the only other people there and the daughter was playing with her minion toy making music. I just didn’t get a professional ambience from the place.
The menu is mainly snacks and bubble tea. I was hoping for coffe but there wasnt any. All the snacks are asian snacks such as dumplings and wontons. I took fried chicken dumplings which were $ 4.99+tax/4. They tasted pretty great actually. They were prepared fresh and served right off the stove so the insides were warm and tasted delicious. Serving time was 12mins but I was the only customer there. I don’t like bubble tea so didn’t order any.
I personally think they need to rethink their business strategy to atttact customers in the McGill ghetto area. The pictures of their food are on the board inside and you can’t see the menu displayed outside because it’s a good distance from the road, almost inside the restaurant. For people passing by, it’s not too tempting to go in if they can’t even know what’s offered inside. I assume that they will get better with time but I probably won’t be returning here until I hear something good about them since there are so many competitive options next to this place.
This could’ve been a good place to study if they had better playlist, they were playing radio music which I find annoying if I want to work. There is free wifi and they accept credit/​debit card. Hopefully they will be doing much better in the future.
