Je suis retournée pour une 2e fois & la nourriture est excellente! Il y a vraiment un souci de servir de la nourriture de qualité avec des sauces succulentes. Je recommande fortement!
Excellent service & food, all of which was unique. Our waiter Roberto Nacho was fantastic as well. Will be back. Highly recommend the $45 tasting menu.

Le service était incroyable, les 2 serveurs très sympathiques & la nourriture arrivait vite. Je recommande fortement le menu dégustation pour 2, surtout le tataki de thon! Je reviendrai certainement.
Food is fresh & exquisite. The service offered by our waitress Gabrielle was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for people looking for a simple place to eat excellent food at a very decent price.
The tasting menu was absolutely AMAZING, the sea food was super fresh & not at all rubbery, the music was a vibe & our server, Angela I believe, was extremely kind & welcoming. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. It's an absolute 10/10 on everything.
Loved the tasting menu! (45$/pers.)
We had such an amazing time at this restaurant with delicious food, a friendly waitress & tasty cocktails.
The chef clearly put a lot of intention in creating the menu. The flavors were well balanced & all the plates had a little something special. The amazing sauces really make their meals stand out.
Delicious food & great service! At first I was a bit weary because the five star ratings, but it's legit. Everything about El Chino is amazing (la comida, las bebidas, y el servicio (gracias Angela!)). This place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend the tasting platter (the octopus is some of the best I've had in montreal).
Excellente expérience chez El Chino !
Nous étions environ 20 personnes & avons été très bien accueillis. Le menu de groupe était varié & délicieux, tout le monde a très bien mangé. Bonne musique, beaucoup de rires & une ambiance vraiment agréable. Les prix sont très raisonnables pour la qualité & l'expérience. Honnêtement, j'y retournerai sans hésiter & je recommande fortement !
Excellente expérience au Bistro El Chino ! J'ai opté pour le menu dégustation à 45 $ & c'est franchement une valeur incroyable. J'ai pu essayer plusieurs plats, tous impeccablement préparés, frais & remplis de saveurs. Aucun plat ne m'a déçue, & la variété permet vraiment de découvrir le talent de la cuisine. Pour 45 $, la qualité & la quantité offertes valent largement le détour. Je vais y retourner, c'est sûr ! Je recommande à 100 %.
