Mai Tian draws uniformly strong praise for authentic northern Chinese flavors, with beef noodle soup singled out for a light yet flavorful broth, rich tender beef, and perfectly chewy noodles that perfume the air before tasting. Dumplings and buns are described as fresh, homemade, and generously filled, while Zhajiangmian and other noodle dishes are noted for satisfying portions and robust meat content. Several reviewers call it a hidden gem on the South Shore, a small, clean, family-owned spot that offers good value and friendly, attentive service. The atmosphere and decor evoke a traditional Beijing vibe, adding to the overall dining experience, and many mention returning soon or keeping it as a go-to for dumplings and noodles. Across the board, the sentiment is that the food is delicious, comforting, and exceptionally worth a visit, with some noting childhood memories and others simply calling it one of the best Chinese meals they've had.
I experienced one of the best meals of my life at this restaurant. The beef noodles were a beautifully nuanced & layered dish. The broth light & flavourful. The chucks of beef, so rich in flavour & tender. The noodles, a perfect complementary bite with just the right amount of chewiness. The aroma alone, long before I tasted the dish, was heady & gorgeous.
We also ordered the 8 pcs Pork & Green Onions Petit Pains Farci. The bun & fillings were divine. The dough beautifully rolled out, perfectly shaped.
Honestly, it was a shot in the dark, trying to find a good spot to eat in Brossard. It ended up being an eating experience I can't wait to repeat again soon.
I left the restaurant, already missing the taste of the beautiful noodle dish. This restaurant is a must-visit.
First time trying this restaurant & I was pleasantly surprised. We had the fried dupplings & beef noodles. Both excellent! I would highly recommend if you're in the area.
One of my favorite restaurants in the South shore, family owned restaurant serving authentic northern Chinese food. I recommend the beef noodle soup, porc leek egg dumplings & noodles with soy bean paste (Zhajiangmian). The dumplings are clearly fresh & homemade & I will definitely come back for them. Prices are affordable & the decoration from Beijing is lovely. Staff is very friendly
Went there randomly based on the reviews. Seriously the best authentic chinese I've eaten. We had the beef soup which was absolutely insane. We also ordered fried dumplings & meat pies which were a treat. My only negative is that we were so full we couldnt try the pork buns.
2nd time we visit & we came back because we really enjoyed it the first time. The pan fried sandwich are awesome, number 10-12. I had the beef noodle soup last time & I'll have the same this time. It was too good to switch to something else. My wife enjoyed her baoze too. Definitely recommend for an authentic Chinese experience.
had a great meal at Restaurant Mai Tian! The dumplings were tasty & a hit with the kids, who really enjoyed them. The beef noodle soup was also very nice. Overall, a lovely spot for delicious comfort food. Quick & friendly service. Plenty of parking.
Simple menu with great choices. Food is top quality, I had the beef noodle soup. Very reasonable prices. Very good service with the waiter knowledgeable & happy to assist. I was visiting Montréal & stayed in Brossard & will definitely be back to this restaurant the next time I'm in Montréal & this time bring the whole family along.
Absolutely amazing food & service. A must try is the beef noodle soup, soybean paste noodles & beef & onion pie. The service was excellent & not to mention they have air conditioning so you don't melt on a hot day. Definitely kid friendly. The beef & onion pie was juicy.

Excellent noodles & good "tarts". The dumplings are more northern style (heavily minced meat with little veggies) which isn't my preference. The beef broth is worth the trip.
Cute decor, but the food was average. We tried the beef noodle, soy beans paste noodle (nothing special, just salty) & fried buns (too much flour) Bonus : free roasted peanuts

This place is amazing. I have yet to have something I did not like. The beef noodle soup is great & I cannot get enough of their dumplings. Their hot oil is a must, do not ignore it.
Come for the beef noodle soup for quite literally a warm hug in a bowl. The handmade noodles are tender & springy, melt in your mouth beef, & the pickled vegetable cuts down on the beefy soup. The atmosphere is warm & relaxing, tea is of good quality, & the staff is friendly. Don't expect fast food levels of speed, the food here is made to order. So sit back, relax, & enjoy a cup of warm tea while your warm hug in a bowl is prepared :)
everything was amazing; i loved the food, the vibe & the service. i had a lot of different items on the menu & everything was amazing. i particularly loved the beef & green onion buns. will definitely go back!
I love this place so much. As a person who grew up in northern China, this place feels like home. I LOVE the pork bun & beef pie. The fried leek pie tastes just like how my grandma used to make them. Definitely will come back!
