Extremely nice staff & great taste of food. I recommend fried dumplings & of course the rice pot. You'll make no mistake ordering any of these. I will definitely go there next time.

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!!
