I’m really disappointed in this place. We just moved to the area and were in search of a good Chinese place which can be difficult for myself because I’m a vegetarian and most Chinese places end up giving me vegetarian dishes with bits of meat in it. I’ve pretty much given up on Chinese entirely but my husband talked me into it. My husband went and asked a lot of questions and because one specific fried noodle dish I love is called something different at every Chinese restaurant, he spoke to the owners about the fried noodle dish and told them it was fried chow mein with soy sauce, sprouts and green onion and nothing else. They told him they knew what he meant and so he ordered that with veggie fried rice for me and some meat dishes for himself. When I ate mine, I saw various different kinds of meat in my rice, some dark, some white, etc. At first he thought maybe it was just pieces of cooked mushroom but when we found a big piece of chicken, he was very very disappointed. Also, the noodle dish was completely different than what he described to them. They gave us something called Vegetable Cantonese with a clear sauce and loaded with veggies on top. Based on the meat in the veggie rice though we will likely never go back to this place.
I really suggest they use separate cookware for vegetable dishes to prevent cross-contamination as some people are allergic to meat or have an aversion to it like myself because I’m pregnant, it can be serious to accidentally get meat in a dish that should be strictly vegetarian, and also include photos of the food in-store or online to prevent customers from having to describe what they want and risk getting the wrong dish. My husband said there wasn’t a single photo of their dishes anywhere which made it very difficult to know what we were getting.

We ordered a day in advance so we wouldn't have to fight for the line. We were surprised to be served in English only. The order was exactly what we chose. We found that the food was a little cold, some dishes were open and liquid had leaked to the bottom of the bags. The food was edible but not as good as previous orders. I cannot recommend this restaurant… and their prices have also increased a lot.

We tried the sautéed vegetables, chicken balls, and rice, and everything was delicious. The flavors are excellent, the food is very well prepared, and the service is impeccable. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a great Chinese food experience.

Very poorly served. The receptionist does not speak French. So I didn't understand what I ordered from him. In addition, it's the delivery person who calls you back to get your address because the other doesn't understand. Cold and poor food.

We tried meal for 3 and by mutual agreement very bad not to say not edible, everything was collected in the compost. TO AVOID
I bought $60 worth of food. The food tastes horrible, the chicken, fried rice and rolls were inedible. The food has this horrible cooking oil taste that makes it taste really bad. The only dish we could eat was noodles. The rest of the order was thrown away.

For the price, it's a great deal. It's not going to win any awards for best Asian food in Gatineau, but it's still pretty good.
The order was ready really fast (20 minutes). The portions are EXTREMELY generous (we got about 8lbs of food for less than $60, which will last us 2-3 days!). The service was great as well.
We'll definitely order again, but next time, we're not going to order enough for an army.
There was so much food… everything was delicious. Hot and full of flavor. So happy to get a flier in the mail??

The food was excellent, the delivery man super friendly, very fast delivery around 30 minutes. I recommend Cité de Chine, truly excellent in every way.
