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.
This restaurant is an example of how eating out should feel. It is family run & you will feel like an old friend coming in for a meal. From the moment you step in you will be warmly greeted & good service continues throughout your stay. They paid attention to every detail, from the decor to the recipes to how they treat customers. The menu items are clearly explained & they help you choose something according to what you feel like eating. Highly recommend! Special thanks to Han 😊
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. 😊

Homey northern-ish Chinese food with surprisingly good service & atmosphere. We really liked how laid back our meal was & the staff was very understanding of our small child. The taste do the food is authentic however not anything out of the ordinary so palatable for most.
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.
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!
Jewel in the South Shore. If you prefer more authentic Chinese food with subtle flavors, as opposed to the "typical" Canadian Chinese food, this is the place. The waiter who served us was very friendly, patient, & happy to accommodate all of our requests & whims.
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.
Quelle belle découverte que ce magnifique restaurant, superbe décoration & attention aux détails. Nous nous sommes sentis très loin. Ambiance calme & raffinée. Nourriture délicieuse. Nous reviendrons certainement, ce restaurant est une perle.
Quelle heureuse découverte que ce restaurant tenu par une famille si sympathique! Les plats sont délicieux, le service discret & courtois, le mobilier est solide & confortable, l'ambiance permet de tenir une conversation normale & les prix sont très corrects. Nous avons hâte d'y retourner!

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.
I tried this restaurant on a whim.Im so glad I did. I'm in love with the whole experience. The food is incredible it's fresh & tasty. The service was amazing & the place is super clean & the decor is wonderful. It's also a bring ur own wine. I can't wait to go back. I recommend this place to everyone
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.
