Beijing stands as a cornerstone of traditional Cantonese culinary arts, specializing in authentic dim sum and robust stir-fried dishes that highlight regional techniques. The menu features an extensive selection of seafood preparations, including live lobster and steamed fish, alongside classic noodle bowls and savory congee. Large, circular banquet tables define the spacious interior, facilitating communal gatherings and large-group interactions common in local Chinese dining culture. Each dish relies on traditional seasonings like ginger, scallions, and oyster sauce to maintain the integrity of fresh ingredients sourced for maximum flavor. The kitchen maintains rigorous standards for wok-searing, ensuring each portion arrives with consistent texture and temperature. This establishment remains a reliable destination for diners seeking a classic, high-volume dining experience rooted in the deep culinary traditions of Southern China.
Beijing has long been a staple in Montreal's Chinatown, recognized by many as a go-to destination for authentic, Cantonese-style Chinese cuisine. While experiences vary, the majority of patrons praise the restaurant for its extensive menu, generous portion sizes, and fresh, flavorful dishes such as lobster, Peking duck, and various noodle specialties. The service is frequently described as friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making the restaurant a popular choice for families and large groups alike. Although some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality or pricing concerns, the establishment remains a well-regarded, traditional spot that consistently attracts both long-time loyal customers and visitors seeking a reliable dining experience.
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.
Long live Beijing!

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.
