Recommended by a friend, the food is fusion. They are delicious. Haihan chicken rice is yummy!! Would like to come here again to try braised duck & beef noodle soup
The friendly chef was busy, but still come out to say hello.
Wonderful restaurant with authentic dishes that hit home. The in house ginger iced tea was perfectly refreshing. Started off with the shrimp toast & it was exceptional. Immediately wanted a second plate of it. The grilled cheese does not disappoint. The hainan chicken dish is off the charts & a staple on the menu for good reason.
The star of the show personally for me is the dessert. You can literally order any item on there & be satisfied. The strawberry sorbet is the best sorbet I've ever had. The matcha cake is top of the line. Very flavourful yet not overwhelming. Last but not least the mango pomelo sago is a must have. It's a generous portion & I still wanted more. I could come here just to have dessert & walk away more than happy.
All in all the chefs make it happen here & their passion shows through the dishes they create. I'll be seeing you guys down the road. Yeet!
Really great restaurant, the variety kind of threw me off as it's kind of hard to pin down if this is a chinese, filipino, viet restaurant, but it's clearly sort of a thing of its own. The Hainan Chicken was really good, the Hakka Gnocchi was really soft & tender (although a bit hot for the season, i feel like it would be an absolute stand-out comfort dish in winter) The surprising stand out for me was the fried beef po-boy which dipped in the sauces of the hainan chicken is an absolutely insane combo. Shrimp toast was really well cooked & a great surprise too!
Mango sago was one of the first times i have actually well cooked tapioca in a restaurant that isn't a boba shop or something like that & the miso cherry ice cream was very good & the exact kind of experimental food that makes me want to go to restaurants.
Service was great, restaurant was very cute although it's a bit hot in there. I understand peoples complaints about location but in summer the walk isn't too bad. Will definitely come here again next time i'm in the area! Lovely place. Only got a picture of the hainan chicken cause i was too hungry 😶?🌫?

Could not wait to try this place out. Had also seen reviews on La Presse & The Infatuation sites. The food did not disappoint. I would highly recommend the Hainanese Chicken Rice dish. It was delicious! The Steak Salad from The Specials was also a highlight for me. Also had one too many bowls of the Mango Pomelo Sago. Absolutely loved this dessert. Will be back!
Such a unique space & menu. Went for lunch with a small group, so I was able to try many dishes.
Everything was delicious, but the ones I can't stop thinking about are all the desserts! This was one of the best mango sago desserts I've ever had. The strawberry Qi Lan sorbet was so refreshing & the tea-ramisu was surprisingly light. All the desserts had clean flavours & oddly enough even tasted great together. If you have room after the generously portioned mains, I recommend getting all 3 desserts.
For the appetizer, the grilled cheese & shrimp toast were amazing. My favourite main was the Hainan chicken rice. I could eat the rice alone as a meal & be happy. Such great flavours & quality ingredients.
Excellent service & the owners welcome you like family. Need to come back to try other items!
Found this hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant in Montreal, & I'm so glad we did! The ingredients are very generous, the portions are huge, & everything is incredibly reasonably priced.
The shrimp toast was delicious. The fresh, savory flavor of the shrimp paired perfectly with the crispy, crunchy bread.
The deep-fried braised quail was such an interesting & unique dish. The skin was incredibly crispy, while the meat was savory & full of flavor.
The beef noodle soup was definitely my favorite. They give you a lot of beef - honestly, it felt like there was almost more beef & toppings than noodles! 😂 The broth was rich & deeply flavorful, with a taste that reminded me of Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Highly recommended!
The Hainanese chicken rice was another pleasant surprise. The chicken was incredibly tender & juicy, & the special house-made sauce made every bite so satisfying. It also came with a complimentary soup, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable.
For dessert, we tried the matcha tiramisu. The owner told us that the ladyfingers are soaked in tea, & surprisingly, the tea flavor pairs really well with the matcha. It was fragrant, light, & not overly sweet or heavy at all.
We also ordered the ice cream, which the owner said they make in-house in the Italian gelato style. The strawberry flavor is made with real strawberries, & you can really taste the freshness. Definitely worth trying!
Overall, this is definitely a restaurant I'll be coming back to. Great food, generous portions, unique dishes, & excellent value. A real hidden gem in Montreal!
Was really excited to try this restaurant when I heard they have hakka abacus seeds & hainanese chicken on their menu. It was quite a trek to get there from town. We ordered the shrimp toast & the nasi lemak as well.
Firstly, the service was friendly, & the house-made iced ginger tea was refreshingly good. Loved that the washroom was homely & clean. The restaurant offered a relaxed & calm space.
On food - The shrimp toast was tasty & crispy. Wish the shrimp ratio was higher. I tried the taro gnocchi next & it was super chewy & tasty. Have to say that was my favorite dish & I am so grateful to have even found a restaurant that offers this dish alone! Loved that the hainanese chicken rice came with the three signature sauces. The chicken tasted & looked just a little overcooked. It was not perfect, but good enough to satisfy. I was mostly disappointed with the nasi lemak. When I tasted the rice, I immediately knew something was different. There was no fragrance of the coconut in the rice. Then I noticed a green sauce covering the rice. At first I thought it was some kind of avocado mole, but was later told it was actually a coconut pandan sauce. I thought they ran out of coconut rice, but now looking at pictures from other reviews, it seems to be the standard offering. I'm sorry to say, but having that mild sauce over the hainanese chicken rice in nasi lemak is almost a travesty. The fried chicken with hainanese rice gets heavy quickly. Imo, the pandan coconut sauce would have stood out more if we had the sauce over plain white rice. The chicken was well seasoned but a little on the salty side, so again, white rice would have served this dish better. If I had known that fluffy & creamy coconut rice & the classic ikan bilis/peanuts combo were not served with this dish, I would not have ordered the nasi lemak here, because those two things are what make the nasi lemak dish to me. Overall, we had a good dinner experience. We need more southeast asian restaurants like these in Montreal!
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
