The food is authentically Cantonese & full of flavor. I love the hainan chicken rice & their noodles. The service is really friendly & welcoming. 100% recommended.
Stopped by for lunch on this incredibly cold afternoon. The wonton noodle soup I ordered was absolutely delicious & did wonders for my ability to cope with the cold! The staff was lovely too & the prices very reasonable. This place is a little bit off the beaten path, but only a couple minutes away from shopping on St Catherine. I would definitely recommend making the short trip & I will be back!
LOVE the pork intestine soup!!!! So clean & so full of flavor even has just the right amount of spice & sesame.
Great vegetarian dishes & friendly service!
Noodles were delicious & chewy (in a good way).
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.
Nous avons bien aimer le riz au boeuf l'entre de wonton dans la sauce chili & les dumpling au champignon etais vraiment exelent j'ai oublier de prendre une photo du avant haha mais a 2 c'etais vraiment bon l'interieur ressemble plus a un resto de cartie
Incredible restaurant. They make the dumplings right where we can see them. Everything tastes like home. I'd come back any day!
One of the very few restaurants in Montreal that have Hainan chicken & it's very delicious. The shrimp wonton soup & claypot rice are wonderful as well. It's a hidden gem in Montreal & I'll be coming back for sure.
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.
Food was good. Homemade noodles were delicious. Potato salad had a nice kick of spice. Sadly, couldn't try the famous clay pot rice because of a nut allergy. Staff is super kind & attentive.
Delicious noodles, perfect chew flavourful but not overly spicy (ordered dandan) . Really clean restaurant, where you can see the clean kitchen. Friendly waitress. Can't wait to come back & try more dishes!
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.
Awesome for an affordable & tasty lunch. The ground pork & peas ($16) had a really amazing broth with bright, aromatic flavours
I think I had a too high of expectation on the clay pot rice… food was overall decent but nothing stood out for me unfortunately. The serving was really quick though which was rather shocking cause I would assume it takes a bit more time which is probably why the rice wasn't hot enough…
