Les avis sur VIP soulignent des portions généreuses et des saveurs riches, un service efficace et un accueil chaleureux, avec un menu très varié qui mêle recettes traditionnelles et touches canadien-chinoises; la constance de la qualité est largement saluée et le chef est crédité du savoir-faire et de l'amour du métier, avec des plats phares tels que le riz cantonais, le poulet General Tao, les crevettes épicées, le homard et le canard barbecue, accompagnés de légumes sautés et de sauce XO; les clients apprécient l'ambiance simple et authentique et considèrent VIP comme l'une des meilleures adresses chinoises de Montréal, témoignant d'une fidélité durable et d'une expérience qui dure des années; certains bémols apparaissent toutefois: un décor parfois daté et une salle un peu tassée, des retards occasionnels et des détails comme l'absence de certains accompagnements lors de commandes à emporter ou une variabilité du service; pris ensemble, ces retours dépeignent VIP comme une référence solide pour une cuisine chinoise canadienne, généreuse et rassurante qui attire un public international et donne envie de revenir.
We were looking for "kind of" a hidden gem (i mean tgis place is rated on Tiktok as well) that would render a true chinese experience, as much as possible. The place was literally empty when we decided to try it out but it filled up pretty quickly following arrival. We had fried calamary (probably one of the best I've ever had!), shrimps in lobster sauce (very good but not the fav) & cantonese chow mein (omg the best). Very satisfied & pleasantly surprised with the quality & price. The ambiance is a kitchy dated chinese vibe; i liked that it was what it was! Very good dining experience! Recommend!
We had the following: egg rolls, wonton soup, mushroom egg drop soup, Hunan dumplings, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, bbq pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, diced chicken with Cashew Nuts & vegetables, & Mongolian beef (beef sauté). We ordered through Uber eats, so the price per item was pretty high, but comparable to other restaurants. Most of the food was good. Here are how I rate the items from best to worst. Chicken chow mein: Very Delicious. I was surprised at how crispy & crunchy the noodles on top still were by the time we got to eat. The chicken & vegetables were also in a delicious sauce. It was a pretty good portion & there was nothing about this we didn't like. I'd definitely order it again. Mongolian beef/beef sauté: Really good! If you are expecting anything like P.f. Chang's Mongolian beef, don't be surprised that it's nothing like that. It has other vegetables like red pepper, onion & snow peas. It is very spicy (for us) & the beef is very tender. We both liked it although I still prefer Mongolian beef from PF Chang's. I'd definitely order this again. Chicken with Cashew Nuts: This one was really good, except I was not a fan of the type of mushroom they used. The slice was really thick & chewy & I didn't like the taste. Besides that, there was a good assortment of vegetables & the chicken & sauce were also delicious. I personally also dislike baby corn which is also in the dish, but I know a lot of folks like it. If probably order it again & just pick it the mushrooms & baby corn. We both liked this. Egg rolls: These were just ok. They were a bit small, but well cooked. I love the egg roll wrappers, but the seasoning inside wasn't very good. I would probably will order it again because I love egg rolls. Maybe it would be better cold the next day. BBQ pork fried rice: I like that they offer the option of BBQ pork because not every place does. I like that they put so many vegetables in it, but overall the taste of the rice is just ok. Maybe the next day cold it would be better. I may or may not order this again if it tastes better the next day. Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce: I love Chinese broccoli & I sometimes prepare it at home or eat it at restaurants. The way they prepared it, it was too bitter. I would probably not order this again as it doesn't seem worth the cost to me. They sauce was good, but I'd probably order a different vegetable. Wok cafe does it better. We'll still eat it though, it's not that bad. Mushroom egg drop soup: This was just ok. It was very bland. Most egg drop soup is pretty mild, but because they used frozen peas & carrots, that taste really overwhelmed the soup. I think it would have been better maybe with just mushrooms, egg & green onions. Hunan dumplings: I normally love hunan dumplings. Every place has their own unique peanut sauce. Some are sweet, some are spicy, some are coconutty. I've never had hunan dumplings like this. I really disliked them to the point that I will not eat the rest. They didn't taste peanutty at all. The dominant flavor was soy sauce & some spice/flavor I didn't recognize. I also didn't really like the meat inside, although I couldn't taste it well because of the sauce. My husband did like them a lot though & said he'll eat them all, so I guess it's a matter of different tastes. They give a decent portion. My husband ordered the wonton soup, but he hasn't tried it yet, so I can't fairly review it. It did look good though & they didn't seem stingy with the wontons. Overall I rate them 4 out of 5 stars & I'd order there again. My husband thinks they're 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Good restaurant, Chinese food is excellent & service is also as great! 38,65 for two people courses wich include a ton of food (4 plates of meat & rice & one soup)

Maison VIP surpasses all expectations, setting a new standard for Chinese gastronomy in the bustling downtown scene.
While visiting my daughter in Montreal, we all decided on having Chinese food. She suggested using Uber Eats, & this restaurant. The meal was fair, plentiful, but the egg rolls were below par, they never included packets of soya sauce, & by the time it arrived, it needed to be heated up in the microwave. The fact that I gave this restaurant three stars is actually commendable, considering I've eaten in Michelin rated Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong, five star Chinese restaurants in Toronto, Vancouver & San Francisco.
Parfait si vous ne cherchez qu'à remplir votre estomac avec de la nourriture cheap & que vous vous foutez de la mauvaise qualité. Nouilles sèche & nourriture trop huileuse, aux saveurs typique de "american fake Chinese" . Serveurs terriblement mauvais (& par mauvais, je ne veux pas dire expéditif, je veux dire carrément impolis). Aucune idée de comment ça peut avoir d'aussi bonnes notes, à croire que les gens vont se contenter de n'importe quoi tant que c'est peu cher. Si vous voulez de la vraie bonne nourriture chinoise, déplacez vous plutôt aux alentour de chinatown 2 (autour de concordia), une multitude de restaurant dont les repas valent la peine.
