Review Summary

Poincaré Chinatown comes across as a lively, welcoming bar with a warm, energetic atmosphere and a thoughtful blend of modern and neighborhood-inspired decor that makes the space feel both refined and inviting. The beer program stands out, with a strong sequence of Kölsch on tap and a rotating craft selection that many guests find exciting, although a few pours have been criticized for excessive foam. The terrace is repeatedly described as charming and among the best in the area, a great spot for groups or a relaxed evening, especially when the weather cooperates. The food experience is varied: some fermented and house-made dishes delight with creativity and fermentation focus, while others find portions small for the price and some dishes uneven in balance or not up to expectations for a dine-in meal. Service is generally friendly and efficient on drinks and at the bar, but can be inconsistent at table service, and a few visits note missteps such as allergy concerns or slower attention during busy times. Overall, Poincaré Chinatown offers a compelling destination for drinks and a convivial vibe, with charm added by its Chinatown location, though dining may not consistently meet every guest’s expectations.

Terribly small portions for the price. You will be very disappointed & regret it. Do not order food there. There are other nice terraces nearby that have a chill ambiance but with better food.

My friend also asked if a dish had sesame seeds because he's allergic & they confirmed it didn't, yet there were obviously sesame seeds sprinkled on the dish...

One of my favourite spot downtown. They have great kolsch. I'm not crazy about their food but definitely a good spot for drinks. In the summer they have a rooftop terrace.

Spent the afternoon on the terrace. Good food, & good drinks. Servers were also good, albeit with a bit of a wait between check-ins with our table, but mostly cuz the spot was full with people enjoying the good vibes. Will be back.
