Restaurant Gia Ba - Montreal, Quebec

By far, the best Asian place I've ever tried. I get takeout once a week. The food is delicious, fresh, and the chef and staff are so kind. My family, partner, and I are all hooked, making it a staple in our dining traditions. The savory favorites I always order ... include Brussels sprouts with walnuts that melt in your mouth, and the General Tao chicken, showcasing high-quality chicken, not overly breaded like in other places. Paired with their perfectly cooked rice, I'll never get tired of eating there. I highly recommend discovering this hidden gem 💎 Read more

This review is based solely on our phone call to make reservations at this restaurant. We didn’t even make it to the restaurant since the staff member who picked up the phone was exceptionally rude and abrupt demeanour and stated she couldn’t accommodate 5 people since the tables ... only seat two—we asked if two tables could be put together to seat 4 and then put one chair on the end of the table and she said no and hung up. We figured she was just having a bad day and my friend who had eaten there before called and had the same rude treatment from this woman. We decided not to give them our business and ended up at a nicer restaurant with great service! Read more

Gia Ba has amazing "non westernized" dishes. If you've never had chicken with chili and mushrooms, go run and try it. It's not a stir fry dish, it's a braised type of dish of chicken thighs in a spicy oily sauce with shitake mushrooms. It's one of the best dishes ... I've ever had and is pretty much all I order. If you look at the majority of poor reviews, they are coming from diners who had basic dishes like General Tao. I agree their version of General Tao isn't very good and I wish they didn't even have it on their menu. It doesn't go with the rest of their menu but I guess they're trying to please everyone. The Dan Dan Noodles are also very good. Stay away from the generic westernized dishes and you won't be disappointed. Read more

Excellent food. The chicken was one of the best ive ever had. The flavours in all the dishes was top notch. The dumplings in the wonton soup may have had too much wrapping. I must visit again and try multiple dishes and see the consistency of the wiality but I suspect ... it'll deserve a spot in my top chinese restaurants. Read more

Good authentic szechuan in Monkland Village neighborhood. The restaurant is basically a hole in the wall with very basic decor but food is good and were doing brisk take-out business while I was there. They serve alcohol including Chang and Tsingtao beer and a few wine and saké choices ... at reasonable prices. Read more
