Where's the best Asian food in Montreal?

Coasting on its reputation imo. Took a step back once they moved to new location.
Good, lots of unique dishes, but not quite as good as it was in its oroginal location. Worth going to once, but not worth standing in line for a repeat visit. Kind of like a lot of SPs lmao

I tried imperial, wow it was really good. hargow, large. the shrimp within was large pieces and biting into it, the shrimp had that snap.... fresh.
General tso.... big chunks, thinnly battered, white meat... moist. sadly there were zero red peppers found.
Sticky Rice with Chicken, Pork, Shrimp and Shiitake Mushrooms wrapped in Lotus Leaf.... this was really well done.
Like expertly done Japanese sushi rice, this glutonous rice kernels still had their own individual kernels and they absorbed the seasonings like properly prepped pasta taking in tomato sauce and cheese.
If you're talking about the one in the building on Rene-Levesque/Saint-Urbain... it's La Maison Kam Fung... very good place for Dim Sum.... VERY VERY crowded on weekend so you wanna go early
Pho Tay Ho on St-Denis street corner Beaubien is mehhh their chicken pho is decent... however I think they just reheat their stuff because if you cant finish your meal in 5-8 minutes, it gets cold pretty quickly.
Pho Nam at 3250 boulv Cremazie use to be my go to place when I was in Montreal.... not as crowded as the other place so you can enjoy a pretty good pho quietly
Yeah I like maison Kam Fung’s dim-sum, maybe the best in Chinatown
Is it fine dining at the Y in comparison to the other places you dine at?
There are sooooooo many new ones.. but to me nothing beats the OG Banh Mi Hung Phat on St-Denis Street, corner Jean-Talon
My go to is Tsukuyomi ... the original store on Saint-Laurent/Fairmount. Went there when they first opened and loved their miso ramen. Been going back ever since and it's consistently still good. They opened two branch stores on Bishop and in Saint-Laurent but haven't been, so can't vouch for them. Yokato Yokabai's tonkotsu ramen on Drolet was similarly very good when they first opened but to me, their quality and consistency have dropped over time. A number of chain ramen shops from Toronto have opened up in Montreal (Sansotei, Kinton, etc.) but haven't been overly impressed to date.
Basically, it comes down to who makes the ramen broth and with what ingredients. It's the basis for a hearty and satisfying ramen. If the broth is weak or unmemorable, then the noodles and toppings can't save the bowl.
If any of you are in the Toronto area, highly recommend Santouka ramen, the Dundas St. branch two minutes from the Eaton Centre. Entirely Japanese run and a branch of the ramen chain from Hokkaido, Japan. 10/10 experience with their miso ramen.
