My colleague brought me here for lunch as she is a long time regular. Very good quality food, beautiful lunch spot & great service. Daniel the manager is very charming & welcoming. The hot pots, soups & dumplings were great!View more

Incredible food. Easily the best clay pot rice in Montreal I've had so far. So we split a spicy beef clay pot rice, a mushroom clay pot rice, a hainanese chicken rice & a shrimp fried rice, the set meals also came with a soup which was quite nice. The best in my opinion was the mushroom clay pot & the hainanese chicken rice, both kept me salivating between bites. The best treat though of course is the crispy rice at the bottom of the clay pots. Bro I'd fight the table for the last bite of that. 10/10 I'd go again, & order less rice dishes & try some of the other stuff on the menu like those dumplings, because damn they looked good too. Oh yeah, interior & atmosphere was great, bring a date here, cause it does feel swanky.View more

Have eaten a lot of noodles rice & dumplings in my life. This place is solid. Handmade everything. Portions are generous for the price & the service was fast & attentive. The clay pot rice was awesome, Dan Dan noodles was more sesame flavour than peanut which was lighter, dumplings were very good, chilled chilli chicken was great. No alcohol served here but definitely no big deal if you are looking for a delicious meal.View more

This menu features Chinese classics like Hainan chicken, beef noodle soup, & chilled beef shank. I found the flavours familiar but somewhat muted for the occidental palate but not their wallet. I suggest trekking to Chinatown or the suburbs for the real deal at lower prices & larger portions. The service & ambiance were impeccable.View more

Pinophyta may have an unusual name, but it's a hidden gem for neighborhood, family-style Chinese cuisine. I only ordered a few small bites & a clear soup, but everything was comforting-exactly what a traveler needs. The restaurant is clean (no sticky tables!) & well spaced, making for a relaxed & pleasant dining experience. I'd definitely come back, & I highly recommend it as a go-to spot for families or everyday meals. 10/10.View more

Great food & super friendly staff!
We ordered 3 dishes, & all of them taste exceptional. The century egg has a balanced flavour, the spicy chicken has a nice kick, & the pot rice is simply amazing.
Price is great for you get, very authentic!View more
