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

Belle surprise dans le centre-ville, un peu à l'écart, dans une rue à l'ombre des gratte-ciel, une cuisine simple & fraîche pour repartir du bon pied sur la promenade fleuve-montagne. Salade au crabe, dumplings légers & savoureux, thé à la prune & clous de girofle ; le tout avec un service aimable & efficace dans une salle bien éclairée & à l'ambiance feutrée. On reviendra!View more

Best & most reasonably priced meal in Montreal! So kind & also delicious! The dumplings are an absolute must. Super juicy & flavorful. The clay pot bowls were delicious as well & the crispy rice on the bottom was delicious with the soup it came with. The chicken in the chicken clay pot bowl was incredibly tender & juicy. The beef & egg in the beef & egg bowl was so well sauced & the egg was soft & tender. Highly reccomend!View more

Almost everything they have is to die for. From the dumplings, to the clay pot rice, to the noodles. It's a couple of older women cooking so the food is authentic & delicious.View more

I've been here two or three times. The lunch special pork ribs is my favorite meal here. They are so good that my last time here I ordered extra pork to go. Very nice restaurant. Great atmosphere. Located closed to the Montréal via rail station & other areas of interest in downtown. The waiters & kitchen staff are so friendly & accommodating. I recommend the lunch items. I've never been here for dinner, but I imagine the dinner dishes are good too. Thanks for the great service & excellent tasting food.View more

Incredibly sweet owner/staff, just makes you feel right at home, so kind & patient, gave us recommendations that were the best, we took the pork dumplings, delicious, the claypot rice with meat, so the meat tastes like bacon I would say, it doesn't look like it but that's the flavor I got, sooooo good, the rice is crispy at the bottom, I flipped it & took a picture of that, it's delicious, the best was the soup, it's beef broth & the meat, OMG it fell apart in my mouth, it was so tender I was able to give it to our toothless chihuahua, she just gobbled it up, that soup has the best tasting broth, better than a lot of the Pho places in Chinatown. Very reasonable prices, we ordered 3 dishes & it cost us 70$ with 18% tip. Will definitely be back!View more
