With our 10 years of reputation in catering service and being among the best in the Montreal region, we are proud to announce the opening of our new restaurant.
We have worked to package our meals so that you can enjoy the quality of our dishes at home. We always love to welcome you in person, but even when that's not possible, we make sure your dining experience is top-notch.
We refuse to compromise on quality in our restaurant. That's why we source our fresh ingredients from local farmers' markets. No matter the season, you can be sure to taste the best of it.
Reviews for Restaurant Yum & Shine describe fresh ingredients and a bold blend of authentic Yunnan Chinese cuisine with Southeast Asia fusion, delivering flavors that feel both traditional and inventive. Guests praise generous portions and dishes that are rarely toned down for local tastes, noting rich broths, tender meats, and textures in the noodles. Many say the dining experience is defined by vibrant, aromatic flavors and a chili oil that adds depth to several dishes. Service is described as friendly and attentive, though some Sundays experience slower pacing and longer waits for noodles. Ordering is often done on a phone via QR code, which some appreciate for speed and convenience, while others prefer more traditional service. A few critical notes exist, including a dish that caused numbness in the mouth with no clear warning on the menu, highlighting the need for clearer notices. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a standout option in the area, offering authentic flavors, generous portions, and good value. Several reviews mention the welcoming staff, clean interior, and the benefit of unlimited tea refills. With a mix of Yunnan staples and inventive creations, this spot is described as a hidden gem and a must try for lovers of Chinese cuisine.
One would not expect good quality & authentic Yunnan-style noodles in the middle of Laval, but here we are. The noodles were delicious, the tables & seating were clean, & service was quick & convenient. Note that by default, ordering requires scanning a QR code with your mobile device. Staff are trilingual (French, Mandarin, English). It's a good place to try out Chinese food & definitely deserves more attention.
Unforgettable experience, the environment is great with their eco friendly & artistically interior design. The food is authentic not white Chinese food. Most recommended: spicy beef & the signature'cross bridge' soup noodle.
The only regret is that it's too far from my home, & you might have to wait for a table during peak hours. If I hadn't happened to pass through Laval, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to make a special trip just to eat rice noodles (the traffic in Montreal is really terrible!).

Food was fine, but the service was very slow. On a Sunday morning, we waited about 30 minutes for our noodles, & the second dish came 10-15 minutes after the first.
Had dinner with friends at this restaurant. We tried several appetizers & some noodle dishes & they were all tasty. Our favorite was the Spicy Rice Noodle With Braised Pork & Beef.
Very good! Got beef rice noodle (ramen) with extra braised pork & the fries, delicious.
Good portion, good service, highly recommend, will absolutely repeat.
Best restaurant in Montreal -the rice noodle is even better than Toronto's, & the soup tastes so good. All of my family loves the food here, definitely recommend!

I am so happy to find a restaurant that still serves such amazing portions for around 14$ a plate. I was so surprised when the food was served because I was expecting much smaller portions for the price. I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles. While there was a bit of elasticity, the noodles were also soft & went down so smoothly. I also really enjoyed the tenderness of the meat but I feel like the flavours were a bit light for me. I would have preferred the flavours to be a bit stronger especially for the sauces & the soup. The service was also pretty great. While the waiter was efficient & polite, it took them quite some time before serving us some water & they were not really welcoming or friendly either.
Tried Restaurant Yum & Shine for the first time yesterday & absolutely loved it! The rice noodles were delicious - the broth was rich & flavorful, clearly made from real chicken stock. The cold noodles were also super tasty & refreshing. We also tried a couple of cold appetizers: the chicken liver & the mouthwatering chicken ('kou shui ji') - the mouthwatering chicken was especially outstanding, tender & packed with flavor. Highly recommended if you're craving authentic & satisfying Chinese dishes!
Very good restaurant, the food tasted authentic & house cooked, not industrial at all. I also really appreciated that the dishes weren't too greasy. The staff were very kind & the service was quick. We loved the tea & we appreciated the unlimited refills. The Yunnan style noodles were very spicy indeed, so be warned, but I loved it! The Japanese eggs were also cooked perfectly. Definitely worth going!

Really good! We got their specialty rice noodles & their rice wine marinated chicken cold side dish. Both are sooo good. Authentic & something that's rare to find on the island of Montreal. Their chili oil is one of a kind, they use a variety of spices to make it so fragrant. Make sure to try their cold chicken side dishes!
I've been a loyal customer for years, & this place always feels like home. The food is incredibly delicious-authentic Yunnan flavors that never fail to impress. Every dish is packed with taste, & the portions are generous. The owner is an absolute gem-so kind, welcoming, & always adds a personal touch to every visit. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality & quantity you get. The pictures I posted are from takeout since I live far now, but I still order 10 noodles every time because I'm totally obsessed! If you're craving authentic Yunnan noodles, this is the place to go!
Great restaurant! Great atmosphere & great friendly staff! We absolutely love all the food we ordered & we will be back for more! The staff also very kindly pointed out the spicy chicken noodle is very very spicy to make sure we are okay. It is really spicy, but tasty at the same time. :)
Definitely worth a try if you're looking for something authentic with traditional Chinese flavours. The soups were delicious! I had spicy beef noodle soup with extra beef & udons :P My favourite was definitely the long Chinese donuts to go along with my soup! Also... Love the paperless QR code menu ;)

Amazing food & warm service! We both got the signature cold rice noodles. Delicious authentic flavours. I got take out but I look forward to eating in their beautiful dining area soon.
Food is amazing & service is top notch👌 Waiter was such a friendly & nice gentleman. It was my first time there & I loved it. One of my new favorite restaurants in Laval 💯 I strongly recommend it. The flavors are out of this world. I recommend the shrimp udon noodles, spicy konjac & the milk buns :)
