Overall, Rizière is seen as a hidden gem and a must-visit in the city, with many looking forward to returning and recommending the place to friends.
Great Chinese restaurant! The food is authentic & flavorful, & the noodles & dumplings are my absolute favorites. Friendly service & a clean, comfortable space. Will definitely come back!
Quite a little gem of a restaurant with a bit of a stylish vibe to it. Food was amazing too, & I have high standards for Chinese food... Had the stir fried beef noodles which was amazing. They uses the type of ruffled wide noodles which carries flavor really well. The vegetable spring rolls were very refreshing too. Worth a detour!
Tried noodles here when traveling to Montreal, wow the flavor is sooo good, I had to order a second noodle dish after the first tomato beef topping noodle impressed me. I think it is one of best Chinese noodles I had in North America.
Came to Montreal for our honeymoon, & randomly had a chance to visit this restaurant. I must first recommend the place for its petit environment with friendly & efficient staff.
I am always a laksa lover, the laksa is great for its broth, & is marvelous for the rice noodle option they had-Thin, chewy, & immersed well in the soup.
For tan tan noodles (or dan dan noodles, whichever you translate), it is considered the best of North America so far based on my wife's opinion (for these 8 years). The proportion is also fair for a single order.
Still, we two skipped lunch, so we ordered the beef noodle soup to wrap up the experience. For how chewy & juicy the beef chunks are, it worth a 5-star itself. The soup is kind of a blend of Taiwanese & some southern Chinese style, which satisfied both our taste buds.
As a result, I am adding another 5 star review to the 600+ others, the place is worth it, & quite a hidden gem in the city. Bon appetit 😋
A true gem of Chinese cuisine in Montreal. The beef noodle soup was so flavorful & had tender cuts of beef, & the chili pepper stir fry w/ wide noodles was addictingly spicy. Wish we had more time in the city so we could visit again.

L'un des meilleurs rapport qualité-prix que j'aie eut l'occasion de trouver à Montréal, le restaurant Rizière se démarque par une cuisine de haute qualité à un prix très raisonnable. J'y suis allé & y suis retourné, & non seulement je n'ai pas une seule fois été déçu, par aucun des items sur le menu, mais j'ai vu mes standards de ce qui compte comme de la cuisine Chinoise être redéfinis par mon passage. One of the best price-to-quality ratios I've had the luck to find in town, la Rizière is a true diamond in the rough. High end cooking at the price where it still feels like a bargain is a rare thing, & they do it well. I went & came back for more, & not only was I never disappointed, but it redefined to me what is & what isn't Chinese cuisine.
From the UK, went to this resturant on my final night. Best Chinese meal I've ever had (I'd say it's more of a modern take than 100% traditional) & a highlight of the trip. Amazing taste & reasonably priced. A must go if you're in the area!
Great fusion Chinese food of northern style. Blend traditional style with new method. The owner test different dishes according to season. Some people might be used to "Cantonese" styled chinese food that is prevalent in MTL, & this food is more Northern. Strange how some people review bomb this restaurant without pointing out what's the problem with the food.
I have tried every single dish on the menu & everything is wonderful. You can go eyes closed & order anything on the menu you can be sure that you will have an amazing time. The service & ambiance is also great! I 100% recommend this place. Best authentic Chinese restaurant in town!!
The place is clean & has style. Honestly surprised by the quality & love that was given to every dish! Quality 5* Great spot a mixture of different signature dishes from various parts of China. Something as simple as the green vegetables were done to perfection with the wok taste, the light onion & hint of ginger. Sichuan dumplings are a must. Real chinese food, don't expect chicken balls & lemon chicken.
Fantastic little place if you're in the area & feel like Chinese food. Service is fast & the food quality is outstanding. My favorite spot if going out for an event in the Plateau.
