Reviews for Chez Maxim Oriental highlight friendly, attentive service and generous portions at a good price, with General Tao chicken noted for tenderness and crispness, noodles that stay crisp, and appealing presentation; takeout and dine-in experiences are frequently praised and many would recommend the restaurant, though a few reviews describe dishes that are too salty, rice that is dry, or food that seems reheated or inconsistent in quality, with some mentions of frozen ingredients; the atmosphere is described as welcoming and the space is spacious, making it a solid option for sharing several mains.
Very delicious food, I enjoyed Tofu General Tao & fried rice with vegetables. Spacious restaurant, attentive service & quick delivery. The prices are also really affordable for the big size portions. We ordered extra food to take home. Highly recommend Japanese fusion restaurant, we plan to be back soon! The menu is very rich, it has multiple options, including desserts, drinks & alcohol.

My friend & I, coming back from a concert starving after going to a restaurant that couldn't serve us anything, stopped at this restaurant in Longueil without much hope. We ordered two spring rolls, fried dumplings, & orange beef. To our surprise, the quantity & quality were amazing! The food was delicious, the portions generous, & the service super friendly! We will definitely come back with the family. Thank you!
Hello, so I went to eat there about a week ago. Food is really great, the staff is very nice & understanding. This place opened about 2 months ago & it's open late some days until 1 AM. I think that's a nice option if you crave for asian food if you don't want to go to chinatown in Montreal. Oh & they got booze permit so you can enjoy a beer or a couple quietly on their terrasse. I read a review about taking out fried food, which is a no no everywhere, sincerely it's common sense to not takeout fried seafood home as the batter will become wet due to condensation in the container. Even if it the container has a small hole on top, it might be the same. Friendly advice, fried food, tempuras are to be eaten on the spot & not at home. Anything else can be taken home. Anything related to chicken there is to die for 🤤, but I'm biased since I'm a chicken lover...
Went there for a belated dinner with the family. The place turned out to be more than meets the eye & the food was very delicious. The Hot & Sour soup, had the right amount of kick, their in-house (salt/pepper/cayenne) spice mix even gave the soup a much needed element to it. The Salt & Pepper shrimp had a good consistency of crispiness & tenderness. The shrimp fried rice & the Cantonese Chow Mein was different that I expected it to be. & finally, the Beef Teriyaki, we ordered was succulent & tender. the teriyaki sauce, blended so well with the rice & the steamed vegetable perfectly. The beef tender pieces were perfectly sized & very tender. Overall, Great experince, service was impecable & atmospher, despite not being busy & my family of 3 were the only people in the resturant, not including the serveur. It is one of the hidden gems, I have dined in.
Absolutely loved my first experience there. Very big selection of drinks & very vegetarian accommodating. Lots of options to pick from. Beautifully decorated inside (the music could be better) & the staff was very sweet & attentive. The chef actually brought us complimentary Fried milk balls which was a very sweet & unexpected gesture. Will definitely go back.
The element that impressed me the most is probably the presentation of the dishes. Not a lot of restaurants take the time to plate & present chinese food & I have to say that it was done quite well here. The food itself was decent. The flavours were good but I feel like I would have liked the deep fried food a bit crunchier. The portions are also quite reasonable which was nice. My favourite part was probably their tea. It had great flavours & I just kept drinking it. It's a shame that they don't have a filter in their teapot, trying to avoid the chunks was a bit annoying. The service was great. Our waiter was quite lively, friendly & patient. The food was also served quite quickly but there were only a couple of other tables when we went which made the place a bit too quiet but it was still enjoyable. Also, don't be fooled by the exterior that looks a bit more worn out, the interior decor is quite pleasant & makes the dining experience much more enjoyable.

I got off work in the area, starving, & it was the only chinese restaurant that was left open, short of going downtown. I did not expect anything but I must say I was blown away by the place. Was craving salt & pepper squid & they did not disappoint. Batter coooked to perfection, super crunchy with tender squid. The portions are very good, not to say too much because there can never be such thing. I've also had fried rice, which was fresh & soft, clearly not days old rice as some places. Speaking of freshness, their sea food is incredibly so & I'm not sure how they do it. My lobster sauce shrimps came out amazing, thick sauce, did I say fresh? shrimpies & so much ground meat. Their spices is on point, must be the best one I've ever had anywhere. Overall very good prices, you get tons of food & the lady that greeted & took my order was the nicest. Zero complaints & will definitely go again.
We came in during Thanksgiving & a large bowl of rice was generously given to us
Very nice place
The server spoke Canto & was nice
Tea & tap water was served
Food was good
Good prices
I wouldn't recommend general tao, instead try the variety of chow mein or fried rice.
