This restaurant can certainly not be accused of selling the menu too much.
A Chinese restaurant in Montreal goes viral for its ‘extremely honest’ menu descriptions placed with every dish.
Earlier this week, Twitter user Kim Belair tweeted photos of some descriptions of Aunt Dai’s menu written by the restaurant owner.
“Aunt Dai is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Montreal, but the REAL treat is the menu with extremely honest comments from the owner,” Belair wrote next to the photos.

The dishes that Belair included in her tweet were the Orange Beef, which is apparently ‘not that good’ compared to the restaurant’s General Tao Chicken and the Sweet and Spicy pork strips, the owner of which ‘is not a big fan’ is not, because it is different from the version he ate when he went to university in China.

The tweet also indicated the descriptions for the Satay sauce beef, which the owner ‘did NOT have a chance to try’ when he wrote the description and the Cumin Beef, which according to the owner was ‘very tasty’.

‘TOP CHEF’ STAR’S RESTAURANT RECEIVES FOOD DONATIONS FROM THE WORLD
Since Belair posted the tweet on Sunday, it has been retweeted more than 9,400 times and has been published more than 66,500 times since Friday.
Feigang Fei, the owner of the restaurant, told Today that the attention online has brought more customers to Aunt Dai, which starts on Monday and Tuesday. After a radio interview on Wednesday, the restaurant received ‘many more’ orders.
“This is very, very good for our business,” Fei told Today.

Fei said he started writing the descriptions because customers were unfamiliar with the traditional items on the menu and would order things they ultimately did not want.
“The whole idea is just to let people know what they’re ordering,” he told Today. ‘A lot of people found it very funny [and] Very helpful. I was so encouraged by them. I did not think I needed to write comments for each item, but I was encouraged by them, their comments and their feedback, so I finished them all. ‘

Finally, Fei said the restaurant wants to be ‘very honest, very loyal to ourselves and our customers’.
“We do not want them to come up with high expectations and then feel disappointed,” Fei said. “We are not always the best food restaurant, but we try to do our best every day and satisfy our customers and sell nothing.”
