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.

Fish stew was really good! Soft poached fish & you can also add other toppings as well. It's really not spicy at all. The fermented cabbages just add the right flavor to the dish. Really a good comfort food! Also I forgot the take the picture but their crispy pork was so so so good as well!

I ordered the pickled noodles & fish bowl. The food came out very quickly & while a simple composition, was very delicious. My server & other staff were very quick & nice & the restaurant has decent amounts of seating. Would go again.

Highly recommend this place! The taro milk tea is rich, smooth, & perfectly sweet - definitely one of the best I've had.
The food is amazing too. The sour soup fish is flavorful & comforting, the pickled long bean fried rice is fragrant & well-seasoned, & the sizzling squid tentacles are tender with great smoky flavor.
Everything tasted fresh & well made. Will definitely come back again!

This place is GOOOOD! I had the spicy pork stew & it was Very Spicy!! A very large serving too. Super-delicious!

They also have lots of non-spicy foods for kids & anyone else. A great place to go with anyone because there are tame options for people who don't want anything strange, & lots of unusual options for people who want to try foods you would not find in common Chinese restaurants. Lots of interesting fish options especially. Also great service, great vibe, & great sweet tea options.

The portion size is pretty weak especially for the General Tao chicken - you do not get what's in the picture. Fish says walleye, but it's not. Soup noodles are good, & the $3 drinks are well priced. The Sichuan food is pretty authentic.

The'original' (highest spice) soup base is authentic & delicious. We have some doubts about other items on the menu, since the one less authentic addition (the sliced beef) doesn't quite fit with the flavor profile- but we would definitely recommend the noodle soup with the original broth + fish for an easy & satisfying meal. For reference, the bowl pictured easily serves two

Cute place tucked away behind a bubble tea shop.
The sauerkraut fish stew was amazing. The fish was tender & super flavourful.
The sweet & sour cabbage was probably the best I've ever had.
Can't wait to come back & try the grilled fish!

Great spot to try if you love chinese food, especially if it's your first timer in Chinatown. Fast & friendly service!
I totally fell in love with this restaurant & I totally recommend to everyone!
Food is great : noodle, rice, appetizers, stir fry & grilled basa fish.

I recommend :
- grilled basa fish : so crispy, so flavorful , just the right amount of spices. There are no bones & it's a great dish to share.
- Lunch menu special : for only 9.99$, you get a soup base, noodles & protein, all customizable!
- Fried pork bites & if you are feeling adventurous, whole squid skewers.
- Legit any drinks. I had the mango sago, strawberry smoothie, brown sugar coconut milk taro & the Hong Kong milk tea & they were all amazing.
