Overall, reviews describe M. Poisson as offering tasty, fresh Chinese dishes with a large, shareable menu and generous portions, including soups, noodles, and spicy Sichuan favorites, at affordable prices; the food is praised for bold flavors and comfort, with many dishes arriving hot and quickly and the staff often described as friendly and accommodating in a clean, easy to find setting; a few notes mention occasional slower service, variability in portion sizes or heat levels, but the overall impression is a reliable, value friendly spot for casual dining.
Fish soup with pumpkin based broth was very tasty. Mild & not spicy at all. You can add extra toppings as you wish but the base topping was good enough for me.
We found Mr. Fish on a recent trip to Montréal. Typical us, we travel to a new foreign city & immediately look to explore their Chinatown 😂. If I lived in Montréal, I could definitely see Mr. Fish becoming one of our go to staple restaurants. The space is small yet inviting & shares a building with a boba shop which we ordered while we ate. We knew we had a long day of traveling & exploring other restaurants so we wanted to keep our order light & decided to go with their signature sauerkraut fish stew with a side of shredded potatoes & smashed cucumbers. When the fish stew arrived the presentation was so charming & reminded us of eating in Taiwan. The rice they served was a heaping delicious mound & went perfectly with the spicy, sour & delicious soup. Service was kind & present, but not too overbearing. Much appreciated 🤙🏼. Definitely worth a visit!
Wifey wanted some Asian food so I searched Chinatown. Out of 3 restaurants, she picked this one. She was concerned if we would be able to get a table on a Sunday night, but that was not an issue. It wasn't very busy. The restaurant did not have a lot of dining tables either & it's connected to Yi Fang drinks. She had her eyes set on sauerkraut fish stew as that's their specialty. We picked the house special one & had it at regular spicy level. The server said you could increase the spiciness but can't really lower it much. We stuck with the regular spiciness. It was still kind of burning as we mildly suffered & enjoyed the dish. We only had one bowl of rice & shared it, but it was a big heaping bowl so it was enough. Probably would have been less spice burning if we had more rice. lol We also got a grilled squid skewer. It wasn't much to write home about, but it was okay. That's all we got because I had planned on going to another place for dinner #2. We would go back for the sauerkraut fish stew again so 4 stars!

I can make szechuan spicy fish at home myself, but oh boy do I still come to this place, they are on a whole other level. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Their fish stew is excellent. I got the one with Sichuan peppers & pickled veggies. I came here twice while I was in Montréal for a few days, & I think that says a lot.
been meaning to try this place for a while now & it did not disappoint. the house sauerkraut fish stew is so comforting with the super tender fish & flavourful soup. crispy pork is also well seasoned & very crispy (& honestly amazing portion for $10). love the sauce for the chicken & clam stir fry (ps the chicken comes with the bones for those who dont like that). the squid skewers are also good. was $80 total for everything so honestly very worth. could easily do $20 per person here
Very nice place in Chinatown. Flavour is authentic. The squid bbq is super good. Everything we tried is very good. They are a bit under staffed so had to wait 15 min to pay but service is nice & friendly.
