Beijing is described as a long-standing, family friendly Chinese restaurant in Chinatown Montreal with authentic Cantonese and Beijing dishes, generous portions, and consistently good flavors. The staff are often praised for warmth and speed, the atmosphere is friendly and clean, and takeout and family meals are common. While many reviews praise value and variety, a few note high prices for the portion size and occasional inconsistencies in certain dishes or service, with some guests disappointed by meat textures or changes in quality, but most would return for dependable favorites like duck, noodles, fried rice, and dim sum.
If you are looking for value,skip this place. It is very overpriced & live up to its longtime reputation as the restaurant that give small servings for prices that will give you more quantity elsewhere in the area. Two months ago I made the mistake of going back for a take-out order & serves me right to be handed the second time dried out pieces of meats chicken this time,previously it was a case of some dehydrated morsels of seafood as if they had too much excess protein supply in their kitchen & not enough orders to use them while fresh. I know everything costs more now post-pandemic but the other restaurants around that I have continued to patronize are thankfully maintaining their quality & quantity at still reasonably raised prices.
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.
The quality of their dishes has gone down! Ordered their rice noodles with beef (classic Cantonese dish) & beef was tough like leather . They cut down on everything & increase their prices. Save your money & go somewhere else!
Used to be a good restaurant although owners(managers?) were never even close to friendly even though I had gone there regularly with my family for years. Quality kept going down, owners remained indifferent, my favorite was when I informed them the shrimp was off, & they told me it wasn't! If a customer thinks the shrimp is bad, it's bad, it's not negotiable!!! Anyhow I don't go there anymore & neither should anyone else. There are other better or similar restaurants around. Clue, mostly only tourists go to Bejing these days.
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!
