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.

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!

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. 🌶?

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 🙌🙌🙌
