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.
Ah! I was consider keeping this place a secret.
What a gem. Such a random location but the food is amazing. Fresh noodles & dumplings; super flavourful meat. I also think it's BYOB- though we didn't know before hand. This will be our go-to for dumplings on the south shore for sure.
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.
Nouvelle découverte de cet endroit trouvé sur google & ce fut une belle découverte! Nous reviendrons définitivement pour les dumplings au porc & chou chinois c'était délicieux, les pains farcis aux porc & oignons vert étaient bien chauds & agréable. Les pieds de porc étaient tendres & fondaient dans la bouche. Cependant, nous aurions préférés un peu plus chaud pour les pieds de porc. La soupe nouille au boeuf étaient bien chaude, la viande était vraiment tendre & délicieux! Excellent service! Le serveur était courtois, patient avec les enfants, & service rapide & efficace. L'endroit étaient calme & stationnement est facile d'accès. Un pourboire de 20% étaient bien mérité, merci encore! :)
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.
Food was delicious! Especially the vegetarian noodles & the pork dumplings. The service was amazing; the man was perfectly trilingual & so courteous. Prices were very reasonable (48$ for 4 dishes shared between 2 people!). The complementary green tea & peanuts was a very nice touch. Will definitely be returning & recommending to my friends & family. 😊

Bel endroit, propre & bien décoré, plats délicieux. Menu un petit peu court, pas de soupes, peu de légumes mais ce qu'il y a est bien. 32$ pour 16 dumplings & 8 Pains au porc (2 pers), ok. Cuisine du nord de la Chine dont nous raffolons, mais à comparer avec Hong Mère sur Wellington qui offre aussi cette cuisine, Mai Tian ne fait pas le poids!
Je me suis fié aux avis & je ne suis pas deçà. Les dumpling sont délicieux & les Nouilles aux champignons sont également très savoureux. L'ambiance est tranquille donc ont peut discuter sans lever te ton. Je recommande sans réserve.
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.

wow the soup was amazing! Great menu... Dumplings look pretty amazing as well, but honestly I wasn't able to eat anymore! For sure I'll be back to try their dumplings, but I already became a regular customer for their soup... Highly recommended
Excellent restaurant. On a essayé à peu près toute la carte, tout était délicieux: pain, dumplings, tarte, bun vapeur. Super ambiance, typique. Service parfait. Rien à redire, j'ai déjà conseillé à mes amis d'essayer.
Hidden gem in Brossard, very good dumplings, the soup noodle dishes are the best. The marinaded noodles was very good, mushroom & nice thick soup. Will definitely be back here again.
