Fantastic, authentic Chinese restaurant. The flavors were delicious, and the staff are warm and welcoming. We can't wait to go back to try more dishes.

The atmosphere is not special but that is not what I look for in a restaurant. This is my second time and I was impressed with the chefs willingness to explain and help with ordering authentic Tianjin specialties.

This is not American Cantonese cuisine so be prepared for an adventure and try something different.

My favourite Chinese restaurant in the West Island! Very affordable (especially the lunch specials), super tasty, fast service, and the workers are very kind!

Not your average over sweetened msg kind of place! This is one of the best flavourful spots.
We had the 3 chili spiced chicken which was one of the first times I've ever had a dish like this before. It is a no sauce dish where the plate had plenty of fried chilis with scallions I personally didn't find it very spicy so don't be overwhelmed if your scared of spice they were packed with flavor and exscentuiated the light crispy batter on the tender chicken.

We also enjoyed the chicken fried noodles where the broth was plentiful and not overwhelming you could taste the flavor of the flame throughout the crisp veggies and succulent chicken breast.

The sweet and sour chicken was one of a kind where the sauce didn't leave you thirsty like most places the same light crispy batter was used in this dish and was nicely complemented with bell pepper and onion quarters all and all was a great night out with my wonderful wife and will definitely come back for more ohnistly the price was more then fair the portions were Harty and food was amazing the chef was a true gentleman.

Been seeing this place for a long time but just realized it's halal. Went in, the owner was very friendly explained everything we needed to know reasonable prices with good quantity and quality of food and unbeatable taste. Been wanting to have halal Chinese food for a long time and now this is my regular goto place.

Restaurant à déconseiller fortement - avis basé sur l'entrée "soupe de wonton" et le plat "nouilles sautées aux crevettes" pris en septembre 2018.

We ordered our first meal from Yuan Li today New Years Eve. We were not disappointed. From the soup to the rice dishes it was very good. (We really enjoyed the garlic broccoli).

One of the best chinese restaurants in West Island that I’ve ever had! Enjoyed the wonton soup, hot & sour soup, as well as stirred fried plate. The lunch special is phenomenal and reasonable price. They serve hot tea, which is great for cold weather. Highly recommended and would come again!

Probably one of the worst takeout Chinese food I've ever had. No flavor, just an oily mess.

The best quality and tastiest Chinese homemade food, Well behaved and polite staff, I strongly suggest you try it.

This place is pretty legit southern Chinese restaurant. Their mapo tofu got that back of the throat spicy that you couldn't find in many places.

Going to be one of my go to spots in the West Island.

C'est le meilleur chinois au goût que j'ai goûté depuis très longtemps. La salle à manger à l'air d'un entrepôt mais les propriétaires étaient super attentifs. Meilleur option, le prêt à emporter.

The food here is very subpar. We ordered a pad thai, asked for no egg and not spicy. Picked up the food, and it’s got egg, high level of spice. Despite this, the noodles came without any sauce. The food was vastly improved when I tossed the noodles in a frying pan, added some soy sauce, and essentially finished the dish myself. If you want to order food you’ll then have to cook anyway in order to make it remotely palatable, this is the place for you!

It's not every day that my mom calls me and says she wants to take me to try a restaurant she discovered.

She went to Yuan Lei, an authentic Chinese restaurant, with a friend and was so impressed. Even my dad and my sister loved it. So we went there last night.

A little background, we are a Chinese family. My dad has worked in the restaurant business for 50 years. He had a restaurant in Cote des Neige for many years until he retired.

Some dishes were a miss, like the singapore noodles were bland and watery, but their specialty dishes were

Their stir-fried green beans and shredded eggplant was my favorite. I totally did not miss meat. Their hot and sour soup is quite good too.

Although the restaurant looks dated, i found the decor to be nice. I especially appreciated that they seem to have a good ventilation system and it didnt smell like fried grease like many small chinese restaurants.

The service was very friendly despite the lady not speaking any other language than Mandarin. The service can get a bit slow if it's very busy because its run by just the mom and son. The son does everything.

You also can't beat the 6.99 lunch special.
