About

M. Poisson specializes in authentic Szechuan cuisine characterized by the bold use of numbing peppercorns and vibrant chili oils. The menu prioritizes fresh seafood preparations that highlight the natural textures of shellfish and various fish fillets. Patrons find complex flavor profiles ranging from aromatic garlic sauces to deeply savory fermented bean pastes. The preparation techniques adhere to traditional regional methods that emphasize high heat wok cooking to seal in moisture and preserve vibrant vegetable colors. Every dish serves as a testament to the spice-forward philosophy inherent in classic southwestern Chinese cooking traditions. This establishment provides a focused environment centered on communal sharing and the appreciation of robust regional gastronomy. The culinary approach avoids unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the quality of ingredients and the precise balancing of heat and umami to remain the primary focus.

Authentic Chinese food! It was delicious, perfectly spicy, & well prepared. I have eaten this dish & similar varieties in China & the US. Properly prepared. Thank you.

Great Asian food! Been missing Asian food so it's such a happy feeling to be able to find one that meets every expectation we had. Would revisit again if we're in the area again.

Extremely disappointing experience. As the restaurant was getting close to closing, the staff told us they would have to serve our food in plastic plates. Since hot soup in plastic plates isn't ideal, we politely said it was okay & that we would just leave instead. Instead of responding respectfully, the staff immediately snatched all of the plates & utensils off our table & simply said,'Whatever.' The attitude was incredibly rude & unprofessional. We understood they were closing soon, but there was no reason to treat customers with such disrespect. Basic courtesy goes a long way, & unfortunately this experience left us with a very negative impression.

Quelle belle découverte au coeur du quartier chinois. Nous avons passé un moment délicieux & nous nous sommes régalés du début à la fin.

Les brochettes de calmar étaient parfaitement grillées & pleines de saveurs. Le bouillon aux palourdes & boulettes était aussi généreusement garni. Tout était frais & très savoureux.

Nous avons hâte de revenir pour goûter au reste de la carte. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine authentique.

Mon ami & moi avons commandé deux poissons grillés. Il a commandé une base de soupe épicée. Après avoir mangé, son estomac était très douloureux. Je pense que la base de soupe n'est pas propre. Ne venez pas.

My friends & I enjoyed our noodle soup. The broth was so delicious. It's tangy with a slight citrusy, spicy taste. For the meat, I had the crunchy chicken bites. It was super good. Our server who was also the cashier was very nice & attentive.

Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a while! Crispy, light, & not greasy. The wait staff were super nice & helpful!
