Don't think about it. Go here. This place deserves all the business you can give.
We were served complementary ginger apple iced tea & it was so delicious & refreshing.
My partner & I had the beef soup & lo fun seafood dish. Just so rich in flavours, unbelievably succulent beef. For the seafood dish, it was creamy & packed with typical Asian flavors (calamansi, fish sauce, red chilli). & they did not skimp out on all types of seafood like shrimp, squid, clams of the like. Service was crazy quick.
Then we had the mint chocolate gelato & matcha tiramisu. The tiramisu was subtle but so good & moist. The mint chocolate I took on recommendation of the server & I was not disappointed. It's home made, & to my initial shock but inevitable great pleasure, it actually tasted like mint.
The portions are generous & the price so reasonable for these days. I'm absolutely stuffed & before tip it came to $30 each.
Everything was so much better than I expected & I will absolutely be coming back.
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!
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.
Truly a gem in the neighborhood! The unique menu feels like a love letter to Asian cuisine, from East to Southeast Asia. There's a great variety of classic dishes, some with creative twists, & some more fusion dishes.
You can tell all dishes are made with care & passion. It was an incredible experience, tasting dishes that were familiar but taken to another level! I appreciate how they take the time to really cook from scratch, like the noodles, pasta & broths. No shortcuts, just tasty authentic food.
The ambiance feels cozy & welcoming, as it's filled with vintage furniture, decor & cute knickknacks.
Service was impeccable. It felt honest & kind, like they were welcoming you to their own home. We were even offered delicious tea & dessert, which we thoroughly enjoyed with gratitude.
Their location might pose challenges, but I wish them great success. Please keep up the high quality & passion! I'm looking forward to coming back to taste more food :)
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
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!
