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.

I love the place. The two staff members we saw were lovely, polite & attentive. I told my boyfriend about the lack of music, then suddenly, something started playing softly. We had the Shanghai noodles (my boyfriend & I mistakenly thought it was a less spicy version of Singapore Noodles, for some reason. We were wrong but liked it anyway.) & the eggplant ! I recommend that dish the most. It had a nice meaty flavor from pork. 10/10 dish & will be my lunch tomorrow. I'll be back to try more of the menu. The restaurant was clean, including the ladies' bathroom. Prices are great for the portion size.
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.
The service is very fast though a bit minimal. The waiters are very responsive & I appreciated that. The food is pretty nice, though it is loaded with sugar. Overall I would recommend this place because it has good cuisine, good service & a nice family-like atmosphere.
I really enjoyed my time here with my partner. We always walk by the place & decided it was finally time to give it a try. The staff there are very friendly. The food was nice. I really enjoyed the jumbo steamed oysters & the shrimp/pork wonton soup. I would recommend this place if you're looking for an affordable option for Asian food. 8/10
Went here expecting a cheap meal by restaurant standards (given it looks like a takeaway or cafe), but felt a little cheated. Two main courses only with plain rice & two cokes ended up costing over $80. The real sting in the tail was the 18% tip added (for service allegedly) to printed bill - not optional but forced upon you. By "service" did they mean the waiter that didn't speak English & looked angry when you asked him a question about the menu? I doubt the locals get that tip put on their bill! The food was tasty enough but no better than a decent takeaway. The inside is functional but thats about the only positive thing to say. Formica tables from the 1970s & a mop that looked filthy & hadn't been changed in years (brought out to clean up a spill) was rather off-putting. The food arrived VERY quickly which was good in one way, but so fast it was troubling. Too fast! The place has a strange system of taking orders- you have to fill out an order form left on your table & hand to waiter. Good luck filling it out because its far from clear what the columns on the form mean. The only waiter doesn't speak English if you need any advice. So all in all, could I recommend? Unfortunately not. If you're going to charge restaurant prices & compulsory tips you need to act like a proper restaurant & this place has a rather grim interior with some cheap tables & plateware, basic fare & is clearly intent on fleecing compulsory tips from the tourist. The staff are all smiles but they clearly know what they're about as they must make a decent living with minimal investment in the business. Probably been operating this way for decades. My fortune cookie at the end said I was going to "live in luxury". It couldn't have meant my visit to the Bejing Restaurant.
The place was a great option since it stayed open late when everything else nearby was closed. The shrimp I ordered was amazing, but I wouldn't recommend the spring roll; while the filling was tasty, it was overly greasy. The staff was nice, & the service was quick. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for late-night food.
