I came here with my friends, expecting it might be a bit of a gamble, but it turned out to be surprisingly good. The Mao Xue Wang & Kung Pao Chicken really showcase the skill of Sichuan cooking - the chicken was tender & juicy, & the shrimp chips, shrimp, & squid in the Mao Xue Wang were all fresh & flavorful.
To be honest, the eggplant with green beans was just average, but the big-eyed staff member was very attentive. Although his Chinese wasn't very fluent, he kept trying to communicate with us & patiently suggested that since we were only two ladies, we didn't need to order too many dishes & could go for smaller portions to avoid wasting food. You can tell the owner runs the place with honesty. Highly recommended - definitely worth a try!
The food is nice! The service guy with big eyes provides great service! Will come back
Best chinese high end restaurant i have been to in awhile. The shrimp ball appetizers were amazing. An explosion of texture & flavor that was unmatched. We enjoyed everything we ate from the general tao chicken to the ginger noodles to the five spice fried calamari. Price wise it is on the higher end of most Chinese restaurants however in my opinion it reflects the quality of what was served as well as the portions offered. The waiter was helpful attentive & truly professional. We will definitely come back.
This restaurant is a nice twist of Chinese cuisine with innovative creation, where new ideas are unleashed to blend in harmony with typical menu.
Even the atmosphere feels different, with a warm welcome so noticeable that makes you really feel at home. Staff are very attentive without being overly intrusive. There is a high presence of hospitality where you never feel watched, only looked after. They rely on visuals & a quiet presence to ensure everything is progressing perfectly. Tea pots are swiftly being refilled. A variety of different size rectangular tables, as opposed to the typical round tables, to accommodate large groups.
Getting back to the dishes:
- We started with crispy shrimp balls with the filling being bouncy with a savoury paste made from minced shrimp. The outside is deep-fried rice sticks (?) puffed up to become incredibly airy & shatteringly crisp, creating that'nest' look.
- Meat balls enrobed with white rice, where the meat is so deliciously seasoned.
- The next dish is a Szechuan style fish soup with pickled cabbage buried at the bottom. This is a relatively thick broth with a luxurious mouthfeel & I can tell that fish head & bones were fried & simmered intensely to create this creamy white base. The soup is finished by pouring smoking hot oil over the dried chilies. So delicious, but if I had to re-order it, I would ask the chef to go easy on the salt.
- Beijing roast duck. This is quite a large plate as it looks like the entire duck was carved. This is served with pancakes, cucumber sticks & the sweet salty sauce. If you are looking for the imperial taste of B?ij?ng k?oy?, then this is not the place, but nevertheless very acceptable.
- Mince pork & beans. I occasionally cook with these ingredients, but the taste is truly unique & well worth a try.
- Sweet & sour chicken. This is the typical dish in balancing sweet & sour flavours, accompanied by large chunks of green onions & red bell peppers. The glistening, reddish-brown glaze is probably made with sweet bean sauce.
- Fried rice. Not the typical Cantonese fried rice I am used to, as the taste & even the rice is different. It is well seasoned, savoury & aromatic. But so different.
Thanks to the host family who invited us to this truly unique restaurant which is a place I would greatly recommend.
Le resto est beau, mais petite portion de nouilles Shangai, très peu de légumes, 30$ c'est cher pour ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette (un paquet de nouilles & quelques crevettes). Le service est difficile, le personnel parle peu l'anglais (avec un accent terrible) & pas du tout français. Ne demandent pas comment faire la facturation, donc tous les plats facturés à tous. Communication difficile +++.
It's a big restaurant with a lot of seats & it was a bit disheartening to see that we were one of the few tables for a Sunday night. Because of that, the service was especially attentive but they were nice & polite in general. The food itself was great. The various flavours from the sauces were complementing the dishes pretty well. I especially enjoyed the deep fried shrimp balls. The pictures looked awfully small at first but the portion ended up being much bigger than we initially thought when ordering. We ended up ordering a bit too much because of that but you won't be making that mistake since you read my warning now. The prices are reasonable for the portions but they do seem quite expensive at first glance.
nous sommes allés pour un souper en famille...fantastique...un des meilleurs restaurant chinois & ce, depuis des années ! plats savoureux, copieux & services attentionnés. faut y aller.
Been there with friends, four teenagers & three adults, really love the food, everyone is happy. Definitely will go there again!
Excellent !
Nous y sommes allés pour le jour de l'an & avons mangé 8 differents plats typiquement chinois & tres fin.
Vraiment recommandé en groupe.
Amazing food, large portions, friendly staff would recommend their soups
Obsessed with this Mango Passion Fruit sparkler! 🥭✨ The tropical vibes are real-so crisp, refreshing, & bursting with fresh fruit flavor. It's the ultimate thirst-quencher for a sunny day. 10/10! 🍹
The wait time was minimal even though they were busy. Very organized seating process
Tout est maîtriser dans ce restaurant , ils sont une coche au dessus
Just had one of my best experiences in a Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend the squirrel fish dish, it's very authentic & crispy. The service is excellent, they even proposed setting up a background birthday song as we had the birthday cake. Will be recommending this place to friends & family.
Nous avons goûté plusieurs plats du nouveau menu & c'était un vrai régal ! Les saveurs étaient fraîches & bien équilibrées, & le service était impeccable. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
One of the few high-end Chinese restaurants in Montreal! The food is authentic Szechuan, so be prepared for spicy food if you order from the special menu (it's worth it). I highly suggest reserving & pre-ordering the Peking duck, lobster, or Vancouver crab. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, service is excellent here. The free parking after 5 is also appreciated. Decor is casual-chic. & also unlike other Chinese restaurants, the place is spotlessly clean. I'm so glad Piment Rouge is back. It's a great place for a casual meal or a big celebration. Cheers to the Ma family!
Notre visite faisait suite à un article de LaPresse qui relatait que ce nouveau restaurant était tenu par les petits enfants des propriétaires du populaire & très bon'Piment rouge' du centre-ville dans le temps.
L'aménagement plus restreint est moderne & agréable avec ses grandes fenêtres donnant sur 2 rues.
Le menu aussi plus court est typique de la cuisine du Sichuan
& offre des spécialités intéressantes dont les'boules aux crevettes & gingembre' & les' dumplings frits'. Pour d'autres, avec boeuf ou pétoncle, les trop généreuses sauces épaisses & plutôt sucrées vous font regretter vos choix & la cuisine du'Piment rouge' du temps.
Pour le service, petit bémol mais probablement dû à la présence d'une table d'une quinzaine d'hommes d'affaires chinois qui célébraient joyeusement avec verres de vin à répétition en les buvant d'un seul trait'à la chinoise' . La jeune serveuse en ce mardi soir ne fournissait pas avec son inexpérience malgré sa gentillesse.
Une prochaine visite, plutôt incertaine pour nous !

Excellent !
Cuisine travaillée & de qualité. La salade de canard croustillant était incroyable. Très bon service également. Je recommande à 100%
