Maison Jofei brings together memories of deeply loved, sometimes little-known Asian dishes, reinvented with curiosity, local ingredients and the spirit of a neighborhood canteen.
Maison Jofei draws praise for a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, with a cozy space filled with plants and a welcoming vibe. The kitchen is described as meticulous and capable, delivering dishes that feel both authentic and thoughtfully updated, prepared from scratch with balanced seasonings and standout elements like chili oil and rich broths. The menu travels across East and Southeast Asia, offering comforting noodle soups, well seasoned dishes, innovative fusion twists, and a memorable mango pomelo sago dessert. Portions are generous and prices fair for the quality, and many guests note positive takeout experiences as well as plans to return, calling the place a true neighborhood gem.
My experience at Maison Jofei was simply epic. From the moment I walked in, you can feel how much attention has been put into the décor. Everything is vintage well put together, & most importantly extremely clean (which is rare to find in Montreal!). The tables are spotless, not oily at all, & even the floors are sparkling. One detail that really stood out to me was the fresh flowers on each table.
As for the service: top-notch. I truly have nothing negative to say, everything was perfect.
For the food, first they offer a hot orange cinnamon tea as welcome drink. I started with a fig grilled cheese as an appetizer. It was delicious, with a great balance between the smoky cheese & the sweetness of the fig jam. I ordered the Nasi Lemak chicken as a main course & wow… such a rich combination of flavors, textures, & freshness all in one dish. The chicken crispy from the outside & super juicy from the inside, served with rice topped with coconut sauce, boiled egg, cucumber & anchovies.
For dessert, we had the black rice pudding with fresh mango, coconut milk, & lychee, & it was absolutely amazing.
This experience exceeded all my expectations, & I will definitely be coming back!
My third or forth visit, & this time we even brought along two families from Toronto to try it. They all said the standard is top-notch-very thoughtful & absolutely delicious.
On top of that, we got a rare surprise: a once-in-a-lifetime dessert… mango pomelo sago. The taste is even better than that of a famous dessert shop in Hong Kong…😊😊 It brings back the taste of home country. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nous venions pour essayer, moi qui suis fan de cuisine asiatique (mes origines aussi!) & bien quel bonheur dans ce joli petit restaurant pas loin de chez nous! La cuisine est simple, mais délicieuse & savoureuse, des goûts qui nous ont fait voyager! Les pâtes de piment, servies à côté, m'ont rappelé ma maman 🥲🤤! Je conseille sans hésiter, surtout que la dame était adorable & serviable! J'y retourne très viiiiiiite!

What a great find. The menu pulls dishes from different parts of Asia, & you can really taste the care that goes into each one. Everything is well seasoned & made with a lot of attention to detail.
Their chili oil is seriously one of the best I've had. Paired with their slightly sweet soy sauce over a bowl of rice, it's such a simple but amazing combination.
Pricing is fair & service is great.
If you're someone who really appreciates good food, this place is a true hidden gem. 🌶?
Cuisine asiatique originale, fraîche & excellente ! Le service est très chaleureux & agréable, & le cadre unique font que je recommande fortement cette adresse à tous ceux qui aiment la cuisine asiatique. N'hésitez pas à demander les adaptations possible si vous êtes vegan !

Commande à emporter - C'était vraiment très bon & généreux, avec des saveurs qui changent d'un restaurant asiatique traditionnel. La garniture des raviolis était fraîche & savoureuse, c'est rare & à souligner ! Tiramisu au matcha : un régal surprenant, sans être trop lourd ni trop sucré !
had an amazing experience at Maison Jofei. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, with a stylish yet cozy vibe that makes you want to stay all evening. The food was beautifully presented & absolutely delicious - you can really taste the quality & care in every dish. 5/5 must go!
