Many diners appreciate the value for the price, the reliable consistency of the kitchen, and the thoughtful service touches such as complimentary tea and sliced oranges.

According to records published by the province's Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries & de l'Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ), Restaurant VIP, a Chinese restaurant at 1077 rue Clark, was ordered to pay $11,300 in fines following two recent infractions.

Amazing food! Authentic, chinese food with the perfect level of spice & sweet. So many flavors. We really enjoyed the yummy dishes here. The wait time was not bad. 10-15 minutes. But that is expected in chinatown. The service was good. It is a busy restaurant so expect to wait for everything. But it is worth it because the food is amazing. Slightly noisy. We ordered 2 starters & 2 mains for 2 people.

Portions très généreuses & saveurs incroyables!
Tous les clients sont accueillis avec une théière de thé à la menthe, ce qui est très agréable.
Le menu est très varié & le service est impeccable.
Je recommande pour un bon repas asiatique!

Je connais ce restaurant depuis 2008, bien avant c'était une restaurant 24h ! À la sortie des discothèques, on venez souvent manger là! Nous sommes retourner deux fois cette année 2026 !! & rien à changé! La cuisine est toujours au top! Le chef & quelques personnel toujours les même . On pourrait dire qu'on à de la chance d'avoir un restaurant comme cela à Montréal! J'ai hâte de retourner car j'adore se restaurant! Merci infiniment à toute l'équipe ❤?

Same chef after 39 years & still the tastiest Chinese food we know of in Montreal or Brossard. Lots of traditional recipes plus the North American favourites. My father used to have their chicken feet when he brought us. They don't serve that anymore. Our favourites are: Cantonese rice, spicy shrimp, lobster, barbeque duck, & chicken with assorted stir-fry vegetables with chef's XO sauce. My kids' godparents loved their General Tao, chow mein & Spring rolls. I feel like/suspect that people who wrote bad reviews about VIP didn't actually eat here or got their knickers in a knot reading about a food inspector's report.
The chef makes great tasting, healthy food & is clearly made with - love, care & a lot of experience.

Tous les plats sont excellents! Resto un peu tassé. Personnel ok. On nous a refusé une table avec plateau roulant car nous n'étions pas assez nombreux. Les enfants étaient déçus.

Being Jewish, it is a tradition to go to a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day. So we did the right thing & went to Chinatown & had supper.
We found parking within minutes. We left earlier than usual thinking parking would be tough, but it wasn't. We arrived at the restaurant, & took the last table.
For starters we had Single bowls of Won-Ton soup & the won-tons were firmly stuffed with pork & shrimp. Followed by (not shown) meat filled egg-rolls with Hunan Dumplings.
The main meal was Ginger Lobster, Shrimp with Chinese Broccoli, & Rice sticks with Beef, Green Peppers, & Onions, in Black Bean Sauce.
The restaurant was overloaded so there was a long pause between the starters & mains, but we didn't mind.
Servers were kind & friendly as usual.
