Restaurant PM is described as a straightforward, no frills Chinese spot downtown with clean but simple decor and no pretensions of fine dining. Service is consistently fast and attentive, portions are large for a low price, and the place is regarded as a reliable option for a hearty, affordable meal. Diners note a broad range of Eastern Asian dishes and favorites like General Tao chicken, fried rice, eggplant dishes, and other Cantonese staples, all delivered quickly with solid flavor. While the atmosphere is practical and not fancy, it is considered a safe spot for takeout or casual dinners and even small group celebrations. Overall, Restaurant PM is seen as one of the more generous and dependable fast Chinese choices in the area, valued for value, consistency, and speed across visits.

Le serveur ne parlait pas français, c'était difficile de se comprendre pour la commande même si nous avons essayé de parler en anglais avec. Par contre, nous avions toujours de l'eau & les employés sur place venait souvent nous voir. La nourriture... ça dépendait du repas commandé, mais tout était correct. Ce n'est pas un coup de coeur, mais en prenant en considération les prix c'était très adéquat!
I've had a large seafood tofu soup, seafood chowmein, tofu with eggplant & beef with chinese brocoli. Their dishes are delicious dead serious. I used to go eat at this place many years ago in my twenties, & it hasn't changed at all! I have tried a lot of their dishes for many years & I was never disappointed. When I can't go to Chinatown because Im already downtown i go here Great fast service, tasty food, my go to place. update december 2024 went back again! food never disappoints! must-try their japanese tofu with eggplants…
Whenever my family & I are coming home from Montreal, we always make sure to stop in for lunch. It's a family favorite of ours. The food is always great, the place is a good sized restaurant. Huge shout-out to the manager Wayne for being a wonderful man/manager, who always remembers us.
Je suis conquis par la qualité de la nourriture chinoise au Restaurant PM ! Les plats que j'ai essayés sont tous délicieux, mais deux d'entre eux se démarquent particulièrement : - Le pork belly est absolument divin : tendre, juteux & plein de saveur. - Le tofu japonais est une véritable révélation : crémeux, léger & délicieusement parfumé.L'ambiance est également très agréable & le service est attentif & professionnel.Je recommande vivement le Restaurant PM à tous les amateurs de cuisine chinoise & japonaise. Vous ne serez pas déçus.Prix raisonnables & qualité exceptionnelle. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !

The food was terrible. You could tell that the cook had used powder mixes to make the sauces, & the powder had not fully dissolved. It tasted flat & artificial. The "crispy noodles" in the Cantonese dish were burned at one end, & congealed at the other. The waiter was very slow & confused, forgot our table a couple of times, mixed up our order with another table. No attention to the drinking water, & we kept having to signal to ask for basic things that should have been on the table. Years ago, there was the Hong Kong House Chinese restaurant on St. Catherine Street West in downtown Montreal. It was excellent. The menu featured a selection of complete meals from soup to dessert & a free pot of tea. There is nothing like it any more. PM for example has only individual dishes. At about $15 a plate, it's hard to put any variety together to make a real family meal. & everything costs extra. Rice, soup, tea, & we didn't even get a fortune cookie or an almond cookie at the end! PM was long, slow, tedious, an unattractive atmosphere (an ugly restaurant), & finally, at the cash, when we paid in spite of the terrible food, we tried politely to mention it to the cashier who became extremely rude & yelled in our faces, which scared the kids. Didn't think of it till we were outside, or we'd have gone back to the table to scoop up the tip we had left. I wouldn't go there again. It's not "authentic" Chinese, either. It's pseudo-American Chinese. Also, they are supposed to have free wifi there, but it wasn't working.
Terrible attention to detail. Ordered with details to allergies & still arrived wrong. Very good about replacing but 2 hours after order finally ate. Food bland & low quality for the price. I am happy to pay well for good food but feel like I spent a lot for second rate food ar best.
The restaurant is not big enough, that's about the only thing I'm not satisfied. & of course, the waiters depending on the day & mood are a bit unpredictable. In general I'd recommend the restaurant to those seeking genuine Chinese, please note, the genuine authentic Chinese food.
The restaurant is more a Cantonese style, meaning mild & the cooking style is to bring out the taste of food itself, remarkable. To add on that, the chef added a few dishes to the menu like green beans (sorry I don't know the name in English) & Japanese toufu are highly recommended.
In years I've dined there I'm never disappointed. that is the reason I always take my guests there, or simply dine for pleasure.

On ne se casse pas la tête dans ce resto. Le nom PM veut dire prêt à manger - ce qui est un peu ridicule comme nom, mais ça dit bien ce qu'est ce resto - & le menu contient plus presque une centaine de plats différents, allant du pad thai jusqu'au homard, en passant par le boeuf à l'orange. Bref, vous avez faim, vous voulez du choix à prix raisonnable, vous voulez manger & ressortir repu: allez-y.
Rien d'extraordinaire ici: on y mange très bien, mais certains plats non-chinois sont un peu ratés. Le concept de la table tournante avec les plats au centre qu'on partage rend le souper de groupe convivial & agréable. Les nappes en plastique & l'éclairage au néon font un peu cheap, mais après la 2e assiette & un peu de bière japonaise, tout le monde s'en fout.
On se croirait dans un resto du quartier chinois, en mieux. Le service est sympathique & efficace, sans se prendre trop au sérieux. Un des rares endroits où aller manger à 8-10 personnes ne veut pas dire que tout sera compliqué. De plus, ils ont quelques plats régionaux chinois moins connus, qui gagnent à être essayés. Ça fait changement du sempiternel général tao (disponible aussi évidemment).
