Incredible restaurant. They make the dumplings right where we can see them. Everything tastes like home. I'd come back any day!
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.
I found my new go-to restaurant downtown! Convenient placement, delicious food, amazing value, very warm & kind customer service, nice calm ambience. Had dumplings, fried rice as well. Recommend the fried rice with pine nuts.
We are returning! A top place for noodles, dumplings, chicken rice/dishes, & amuse bouche appetizers. Don't forget to try their speciality plum juice! Well done team with friendly service 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent repas dans une ambiance chaleureuse & familiale. La soupe wonton & les oeufs centenaires ont été nos coups de coeur, suivi de près par le poulet salivant & les dumplings aux arachides. Le personnel était attentionné & souriant. Tout ça pour un prix très abordable! Je recommande & je reviendrai!!
Tried almost everything on the menu - everything is on point! Chive dumplings are a must!! Super juicy & really good flavours…Best I've had!
The restaurant has a great atmosphere - cozy & welcoming. service is excellent, clay pot rice is absolutely delicious, with perfectly cooked rice & crispy bits at the bottom. The dumplings are also tasty & fresh. Highly recommend!
Absolutely outstanding dining experience at Restaurant Pinophyta. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome & cared for. Our server deserves special praise. They took the time to patiently explain each section, every dish, & even gave thoughtful recommendations without ever making us feel rushed. That kind of attention, knowledge, & genuine enthusiasm is rare, & it turned the whole evening into something special.
The food? Nothing short of incredible. The dumplings were tender & bursting with flavor, the noodles perfectly balanced, the clay pot rice, was rich & fragrant with that amazing crispy bottom layer, & the Dream Chicken lived up to its name. Truly unforgettable. Every dish felt crafted with care & delivered with pride.
The service, food, & staff were exceptional in every way. This restaurant doesn't just serve dinner, it delivers an experience. They deserve every bit of praise, & I can't wait to return.
Rice tasted so artificial along with the shrimp. Dumplings were good but I can't really over look how the rice tasted. Service was good.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
