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.
Delicious Chinese restaurant with plenty of vegetarian options, including the best veg hot & sour soup we've found in the city! Friendly, welcoming staff makes this a regular spot for us.
The food is decent but the service is terrible & they want to force us to tip when we had to ask the server to take our order 3 times. The server was also very disrespectful.

We had a great time, though we had a couple hiccups. The vegetable hot & sour soup came with pork & shrimp, which the meat eaters found delightful but wasn't so great for the vegetarians with us. The main dishes took quite a while to arrive - also difficult for the vegetarians since they hadn't eaten the soup. But in spite of that, we did have an enjoyable time.
I've visited this place years ago with some family & I feel like the food quality has diminished substantially. We ordered general Tao & fried won tons & the meals were fairly bland. It is OK for a quick bite but there are better venues.
This is the best Chinese food restaurant in Montreal. The portions are great, & the food quality is outstanding. Everything is freshly made & piping hot as it hits the table. This place is so good we ate there twice. I recommend the General's Beef, General's chicken, & lemon chicken. Both of these dishes are stellar. This restaurant was located within walking distance from our hotel on St. Catherine St.
Ordered takeout for Vegetarian chowmein, it was just noodles & stir fried broccoli,mushrooms & bok choy. No condiments or spices were added to this dish, it was bland just salt & oil!
Some of the food was tasteless (wonton soup, I've added soya sauce just to enjoy it a bit), the meat chewy (sesame plate), & the kitchen had no taste to bad smell. (Kitchen with vegetables, sorry forgot the name!) Both our waiters don't even smile. The atmosphere was not bad
The pad thai was extremely salty… we couldn’t even finish half of it. The sweet & sour chicken came unbreaded with sliced vegetables that were huge & uninviting to eat. Will not be coming here again.
