Restaurant Pinophyta est largement considéré comme une perle rare à Montréal, proposant une expérience culinaire cantonaise authentique et savoureuse qui rappelle, pour beaucoup, la cuisine maison traditionnelle. Les clients soulignent régulièrement la qualité du riz en pot avec son croustillant caractéristique, le poulet froid, ainsi que les dumplings faits maison. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme chaleureuse, propre et accueillante, ce qui en fait une adresse idéale pour les repas décontractés, les rendez-vous amoureux ou les sorties en famille. Bien que la majorité des convives saluent le service attentionné, amical et professionnel, quelques rares avis mentionnent des divergences mineures concernant la taille des portions ou certains assaisonnements. Dans l'ensemble, le restaurant est vivement recommandé pour la qualité de ses ingrédients, ses prix abordables et son environnement très agréable.
This place definitely needs more hype. We were kinda hoping it will taste good because it was literally no one there when we got here, but the food is amazing!! The Hainan Chicken with rice is so good, I even want to have another dish. Price is also very good & makes us full for a whole day.
Recommend if you want cheap & delicious Chinese food! 😋
Very good Chinese restaurant with lots of delicious options, I would recommend the clay pot rice with spicy beef. The menu is also helpful as there are symbols next to each item, making it easy to tell whether the food is spicy or if it has certain ingredients like peanuts, beef, or chicken.
Delicious food & very warm & friendly service! We got the chili wontons, cold chicken, steamed Chinese broccoli, Cantonese wonton soup, & the clear beef broth noodle soup. All excellent! Look forward to returning here again.

Nice Chinese restaurant. The beef & eggs stone pot rice is flavourful. It comes with a soup as well. Chicken rice with a lot of ginger on it. Personally i like ginger, so i dont mind. Appetizers are tasty especially the deep fried pork. Cold served spicy chicken is juicy.
I feel sorry to rate 2/5 because Pinophyta has unique items, the service is so great, but the food really disappoints. This is the epitome of just because you are different, high quality, & put in a great effort it does not make you good.
First, if you are going to serve COLD blanched flavourless chicken (poulet salivant) then please clarify so. The fridge-cold chicken 🐔❄? was unexpected & unpleasant.
Secondly, the wonton soup hits you with a disappointing broth smell. Strange flavour & taste, & the meat inside the wonton not properly cooked, or wrong flavour idk (pork or beef + shrimp). It's weird bc it feels like they did put in a great deal of effort. I also found the noodles underwhelming, but still high quality, not cheap.
Good peanut butter dumplings 🥟 & the service from the dark haired lady (early 20s maybe) with glasses very polite & respectful.
Maybe the food is really authentically Chinese & my taste buds have adapted to Chinese-Canadian expectations too much. Until then, this place is only 2/5 for me, but I find it great others like it so much the average goes to 4.8/5, provided the reviews are authentic.
Worth a try, but expect very different & potentially unpleasant. Go if you want an unexpected experience while accepting the risk of positive or negative.
very authentic chinese cuisine, their cold chicken appetizers has a fair amount of chicken considering the price of the dish. we also ordered their scullion oil noodle, the noodles were sticking together & the dish was cold when delivered. despite the coldness of the dish everything was good. recommend the chili oil wonton, very nice taste & the filling was very tasty. would come back again!
This is a hidden gem. The food is wonderful - you have a great selection of northern & southern Chinese food - & it's very delicious. Terracotta rice / clay pot rice is just like what you can get in Hong Kong. We arrived at around 12:40PM on a Friday & the food was served quite quickly. Reasonable portion for a reasonable price, I would even say it's a bargain because how delicious it was. Restaurant is very clean & staff is very nice. I would definitely come back here again.
