REcommendation for restaurants in China town and price range.

[EagerBeaver]

Gentlemen,
I have eaten everywhere in china town. There is one clear cut winner.
It is called KEUNG KEE on the second floor on rue gauchetiere between st laurent and st urbain. It is usually open until about 1:45. Best hot and sour soup in the world (proven by all the visitors I bring there). Everything is amazing, and you cannot compare this culinary delight to plebeian spots like VIP and Deer Garden.
Trust me on this one.

BS,

I ate there and would try it again. I ordered the wrong thing. The menu contained many authentic Chinese dishes but I ordered one of the "westernized" dishes and did not try the hot and sour soup which is generally not my cup of tea. When I was there it was late, crowded and I was the only Caucasian dude in the place.

maybe the customer was referring to "straw mushrooms" which are used in stir fried noodles...

here a link to it's picture, it maybe called something else but i've known it to be straw mushrooms.

devries,

It's possible that he was, but I could not really see his dish from my vantage point. Straw mushrooms are used in many Chinese dishes, as previously noted by man in the middle.

Name of restaurant inside Holiday Inn in China Town ?

I was told that the restaurant inside Holiday Inn in China town has very good food.

I came in and there were like 5 or 6 chinese restaurants inside Holiday Inn.

What is the name of the restaurant that Merbites recommend ?

Holiday Inn Select

I think the dim sum lunch at the Holiday Inn Selet is good. The dinner entrees are not as good.

You want good Chinese food, go to Le Orchidee de Chine on Peel.
