Dragon Magnifique offers a casual, home-style blend of Peruvian-Chinese chifa with some Thai and Vietnamese options, delivering large portions that are easy to share. The flavors are generally balanced and fresh, with many reviewers praising the dumplings, shanghai noodles, soo gai chicken, and signature items like Kamlu Wantan and Chi Jau Kay, as well as a cherry sauce that is tart and real. The dining scene is described as welcoming and busy, featuring staff who speak Spanish and a diverse mix of locals and visitors, giving an authentic neighborhood chifa vibe. While decor and restrooms are noted as needing attention, the food remains a strong draw and is often recommended for those who love Peruvian-Chinese classics. Overall, it reads as a genuine Peruvian-Chinese experience in Montreal, valued for its homestyle cooking, generous portions, and a sense of place that evokes Lima’s chifa tradition.
Este restaurante tiene comida muy sabrosa, aunque es peruano es muy similar a la comida china Venezolana, estaba delicioso las mejores limpias que me he comido, la atención magnífica
Overall a great dining experience, staff speaks Spanish. It's more of a homemade sit down Chinese / Peruvian food. Big portions family can share. Balanced flavors! The young chown fried rice was 🔥!
Would return/recommend!

I can't believe how good this place is. They are a bit of a mix of Peruvian & Chinese, but they have thai & vietnamese food as well.
Everything is baseline'good'. We had the hunan dumplings, shanghai noodles & soo gai chicken. Only complaint is they use north american broccoli in the noodles. That's it.
The soo gai was crispy, reasonably battered, & tender. The cherry sauce was real deal: runny & strongly flavoured, way more tart than usual. Excellent.
The dumplings were great. Sauce was very thick, but nicely flavoured. They were a little less substantial than other places, but they were fresh & tasty.
I really liked this place, & the locals apparently do too cuz the place was packed, & only one table was chinese clients. The rest were mexican, peruvian or salvadori. & the staff, while thoroughly chinese,speak Spanish.
Very delicious Peruvian Chinese food! I move far from Jean Talon, but when I have the opportunity I go to there to take out a huge meal for 2 or 3 people. Delicious & clean!
It's not the most elegant of restaurants but it's clean, food is good & portions are very generous. In Quebec most people are used to Chinese buffet style food. Le Dragon Manifique is definitely not in this style. This is a "Chifa", It's roots come from Peru South America (hence the largely Latino clientele) There is an extremely large & established Chinese community in Peru. The best Chinese food I have ever eaten was in Peru. So leave your preconceptions about what Chinese food in Quebec is usually like & give them a try. I recommend the arroz chaufa, tallarin saltado con pollo, sopa wantan, Kam lu Wantan & of course a bottle of Inca kola to wash it all down. If each person takes a sopa (soup) Wantan & share one plate of each you are good to feed at least 4-5 adults.
