A Chinese restaurant in Montreal is enjoying a spike in orders after candid descriptions from its menu went viral on social media. Cuisine Aunt Dai, located at 1448 Saint Mathieu St., serves dishes available in many other places but takes a unique approach by apparently “reviewing” itself before customers could.

But one Montreal Chinese restaurant owner decided to give youths humble, extremely honest opinions of his food — and they’re so funny, they’ve since gone viral.

The owner has been at this for years, but it wasn’t until

Chinese takeout is a weekend staple in America, but did you know that there’s a whole other side of Chinese food you’ve been missing this whole time? Turns out, the sesame chicken and shrimp lo mein that litter our coffee tables on Friday nights are not classic Chinese dishes. American Chinese food is often stickier, sweeter, and unhealthier than traditional dishes.

Ready for another surprise? Check out the reason why you’ll never find Chinese takeout boxes in China.

But have no fear! Turns out, plenty of Chinese restaurants actually have a “secret” menu that they give to Chinese people and fluent speakers. This menu includes traditional Chinese dishes that are bursting with more texture, flavor, and nutrients than the American-Chinese food that we’re familiar with. Here’s how to get in on all the authentic goodness:

Make sure you’re in an authentic Chinese restaurant
