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!

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.
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.
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.
Beijing restaurant is incredible! They have delicious food, & their customer service is impeccable. We are vegetarian & they were willing to customize our order so that we could enjoy our favourites! We will definitely be back to order from here 😊
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.
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.
