Homey, delicious, fresh, creative. You can tell they really care about the details. like the Hainan chicken we ordered came with three homemade sauces & chicken broth for dipping. they gave us house-made cold sweet ginger tea when we arrived. Generous servings for the price. perfectly cooked greens. The green tea tiramisu was fluffy & delicious. The server was friendly & kind. Would definitely go back.
UPDATE: I also really love the Hainanese chicken. MJ just keep giving bangers!!!! & they serve their Hainanese chicken w a small side of chicken broth which was a lovely bonus. Comes w all the usual fixings (ginger scallion oil mix, chili paste, & a little soy sauce).
The red bean & grass jelly drink - sweeter than I personally like but I'm in the minority.. western side of my family prefer intense sweet. To each their own. I will probably still order it but just ask for ice. (It would be cool if they had optional ice shavings, another classic Asian thing for desserts)
Full house on Sunday. I LOVE to see good places getting treated good by the neighborhood! Also, an unsolicited advice: I think they should remove the condiments counter to allow another spot - for the big table to be used.

I loved it. Definitely going back.
I had the first item on the daily specials menu, Nasi Lemak. Beautiful flavors, GOOD portions, has all the flavours. This is actually authentic Asian cuisine.
While I was there another table there was an Asian family who was finishing, & told the owner that they loved it as well.
There's so many things I want to try. The hainanese chicken for example - & this may be the only place in Montreal to offer it (I don't even think satay brothers have it, a small travesty 😤).
Oh my god I am so happy I found this place & that it is right next to me when I come to Montreal. It is so hard to find healthy food like this, the Haines chicken was perfect & the Vietnamese beef noodle soup cured me. The complimentary tea is beyond perfect I just want to come over for a cup all the time! I'm telling you guys if you opened in Vancouver this business would explode but seriously I will tell all my friends, this place is legit my fave food in mtl

I have been craving Hainanese chicken rice for a while & my friend told me about this place & they did not disappoint me. It tastes so good & authentic! The sauces were accurate & yummy while the broth that comes with the dish was surprisingly tasty. The mango sago was equally amazing. The only criticism I could give was that the shrimp toast could have more shrimp on it, but it was well made & crispy. The staffs were really nice & they even brought us complimentary beers because the food was slower than usual (which was not slow at all for us). I will definitely come back & I highly recommend this restaurant.
I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is outstanding. To think I can get authentic nasi lemak & Hainanese chicken in Hochelaga! Plus Fei, one of the owners, is very kind & personable. I really hope the neighbourhood proves itself worthy of this place.
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!
Was recommended by a friend, so finally went for dinner
Not a big place, but the decor & environment made it very homey
Everyone who works there are very welcoming & friendly
They even brought sweet ginger tea for this cold weather , which also win over many other restaurants
& the decor almost feels like a vintage store, where you can also enjoy a cup of coffee or tea during the day 😌
& the food, omg, amazing , 10 out 10
The hainan chicken was so tender & all 3 sauces go super well with it, even just with the rice
The gnocchi was such a interesting twist, it's almost like a risotto, since it's more toward dairy dish, but still have some asian/ Japanese flavour it
I would have to say it's probably the best fusion resto I have tried in the hochelaga area 🙌😌🥰
My friends tried their beef noodle soup, & the special fried chicken with rice , & they were both impressed by the flavour
You have to try it 🙌🙌🙌
