Beijing is described across reviews as a long standing Chinatown staple with generous portions and a broad Cantonese menu, where the food is generally good and the service is quick and friendly. Many praise the authentic flavors, clean venue, and family friendly atmosphere, as well as a varied menu that includes vegetarian options and dishes that appeal to both adults and kids. Some feedback centers on value and price, with praise for good quality relative to cost from some reviewers, while others call it overpriced for the portion sizes and note declines in recent visits. A few reports mention inconsistent dish quality or changes in staff demeanor, occasional takeout issues, and one instance of a tip added without consent. Overall the place often appears as a dependable go to for gatherings and traditional flavors, described as a local gem by many and a place to return to for reliable comfort Chinese food.
Very friendly & vibrant restaurant with the most delicious Chinese food I have had in my entire life. This is a must go for Montréal. In the Chinatown section you will be surrounded by many Asian owned businesses & they all have something unique to offer. The place is very clean & the tables are well spaced. The service is friendly & my mom & I had a great time. We would come back to Montréal just for this restaurant.
Came here on Christmas night, which is strangely the most Christmas thing to do. Didn't have a reservation, & knew we would have to wait, but the staff was so friendly & accommodating. They ended up putting us as a large table with others who also didn't have reservations & we all could order separately & dine together. It was wonderful.
Their flair of Chinese food is Cantonese, which is different than Sichuan style or the American Chinese food that many are used to, so it was definitely a surprise (but not bad).

Just had some delivery - it is probably the worst Chinese food I ever had. Dry, bland, & one of the dishes was nothing like the photo, so much that I wondered if they sent the right dish.
Literally the worst example of Chinese food in North America I suspect. Peanut butter sauced overcooked dumplings. General tso came 2 seconds after appetizer - completely tasteless - Shanghai noodles came - took a bite- again tasteless. Decided to leave at this point without waiting for the rest of the meal. Service was fing rude. Space was hugely overcrowded. Maybe people in Montreal don't know better? Doubt it. I can't recommend against this place any more strongly. We found a Mexican place to cleanse our palates - it was in Chinatown- didn't dare do another Montréal chinoisierie.
Went recently for a late-night meal & had some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. The staff were very attentive to my party's shellfish allergy, which we really appreciated. They also had a great selection of vegetarian dishes-the General Tso tofu was absolutely incredible! I'll definitely be back.

Hands down the BEST CHINESE FOOD in Chinatown Montreal! Second time visiting & the service was still stellar. Owner & wait staff friendly & very accommodating. Answered our questions very patiently.
Exactly what we wanted during our layover in Montreal. The food was delicious & full of flavors. & came out so quick! Would recommend to anyone craving some good quality Chinese food & short on time!
Oh, Beijing Chinese Restaurant in Montreal! Where do I even begin with this culinary marvel? From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for something truly... memorable.
The General Tao chicken was, without a doubt, a masterclass in... well, chicken. Each piece was a testament to the chef's bold vision, perfectly capturing that elusive balance of'chicken' &'sauce.' & the vegetable fried rice? A symphony of grains & what I can only assume were vegetables, each grain standing proudly on its own, refusing to be overshadowed by any mere flavor.
Then came the breaded shrimp - a revelation! The breading was so robust, so confident, it almost made you forget there was a shrimp somewhere inside. A true triumph of texture. & the egg rolls? Crispy, yes, undeniably crispy. They certainly held their shape, which is more than one can say for some lesser egg rolls.
But the pièce de résistance, the crowning glory, was the Chinese broccoli. It was green. It was leafy. It was... broccoli. A minimalist's dream, showcasing the raw, unadulterated essence of the vegetable.
In summary, if you're looking for an experience that challenges your perceptions of'delicious' & leaves you with a lingering sense of... something, then Beijing Chinese Restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Five stars for daring to be so uniquely... itself!
From Florida where you can't find real Chinese food, at least in the Tampa area. Nothing but take out.
We found the Beijing restaurant because it was close to our hotel & thought we'd try it. We were pleased. Very good egg rolls & tasty wonton soup. We ordered a dinner for two which was easily enough for three, reasonably priced & all the dishes were pretty tasty. Yes, they could improve the decor a bit. LoL
Very good service, probably from the owner himself & he had a great personality.

Beijing has been an establishment of sheer quality consistency, a sure bet Chinese restaurant since I was of age of spending money on Chinese food & is still the case today when I consider eating Chinese food in Chinatown.
Service is always welcoming, food quality there is above Chinatown average which saddens me when I've heard their opening hours were shorter (they close earlier now).
Aside from that, we've often used them for take out & uber eats to great delight.
Don't let the 4 stars fool you, this place deserves 5 stars. Truly so authentic, one of the best comfort Chinese food places in Montreal. The cooks in the back have been perfecting the food for decades, the service is warm & super quick, & the huge menu variety doesn't deplete the high quality of every dish. Excellent food, paired with truly exceptional service.
Chose this Asian restaurant based on its location close to our hotel & the highest review of several Chinese restaurants. Excellent choice! Reasonably priced, friendly service & very good food! Menus in French & English with lots of pictures which lead us to select a few dishes we might have initially passed on. Would recommend
The food was awful. We were in Chinatown looking for a bite around 10:30 pm, & unfortunately for us, this was the only spot open. It was pretty packed, so we assumed the food would be good. It wasn't. Most of the food we tried made me question whether the food was safe to eat. There was a common theme: the food tasted stale & old, & everything we ordered came out in record time, which meant nothing was fresh. It gave us no time to enjoy our food - McDonald's takes more time to prepare a meal. We ordered the pork, wontons, dumplings in peanut sauce, & duck. The duck was the biggest disappointment, both in terms of taste & cost-to-portion ratio. It was literally four small pieces of old, chewy duck that instantly put my stomach in shambles, & we paid over $20 CAD. All in all, our meal was $65 CAD, & we left so unhappy & feeling gross about what we had. We love Chinese food in hole-in-the-wall eateries & eat pretty much everything, but this restaurant just missed the mark.
Very good chinoise cusine ( in french), nothing fancy, is a typical small chinese restaurant, but the food is wonderful, the soft crab & spring rolls ..... Wonderful
