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.
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!

We tried this place today on our trip to Montreal. Unfortunately it was pretty bad. Honestly, Panda Express taste better & that's not saying much. The steamed dumplings were disgusting with a smathering of really sweet peanut sauce on top. Next was the Noodle dish we ordered, noodles were ok but the beef tasted gamey & was really tough. Then we ordered Chicken Fried rice, had a terrible after taste. Last, we ordered the General Tao Chicken, tasted way too fried & had too much breading, almost like a chicken nugget with sauce. We payed $72 Canadian including tip. Do not recommend this place, we did not even complain, we felt kind of bad since hardly anyone was in eating there. The good that came after this is since we barely ate any of the food, we were able to give it to a homeless man & made his day.
Excellent shrimp fried rice & very good service. The fried rice has amazing wok flavor. The wonton soup was only ok. It's nice they serve hot tea & give fortune cookie for dessert. Reasonable price.
We had stir-fried lobster, fried rice, & tofu eggplant . All are tasty. The service was excellent. The price is reasonable compared to NYC & LA. We enjoyed our dinner time.
Visited this place for dinner with a couple friends. Prices are fair & the service is good. Got the sweet n sour pork, shrimp & pork fried rice & the beef with mixed vegetables. All the items were really good & I recommend trying it out if you're in the area!
I am a realtor & I often eat out & entertain my clients. We ordered via "uber eats". Total bill was over $145. Part of the order had a soup. Specifically asked for soup cups or bowls, plates & utensils & they completely forgot all of it. I honestly could not justify "value for money". Fried rice, 2 chicken dishes (which barely had chicken but full of veggies), 2 shrimp dishes (barely had shrimps but full of veggies), egg rolls (which was not fresh at all & horrible) & vegetarian hot & sour soup for whopping $26!!! like really? wow!!.. & our total was $161 & change.. seriously!! It was raining, if not we could have gone to a beautiful fine dining place probably would have eaten more & paid less?
