Walked in to a clean and very asthetic restaurant, it wasn't the busiest but although there were a handful of tables , the service was top tier the whole entire time. I got a Pisco sour to drink - tasted amazing, almost as if we were in peru! I started with the Yuca Frita - im usually skeptical because I find it can be dry, but this was the lightest yuca ive ever eaten! 10/10! Then I got the anticuchos, although it wasnt heart specifically it was so good, the softness of the meat with the amazing flavours , even the perfectly cooked fries on the side. 10/10 Lastly, I got the Ceviche a La Chino, it was so fresh, i think there may be too many of the other toppings though. But there was salmon which isnt usually common in ceviche, that was really flavourful! Also the nice big chunks of octopus .. would definitely get it again! 8.5/10
Reviews / Ratings for Bistro El Chino
Really cute place. We took the 5 courses for 35$ (lunch time). Everything was really good and it's huge portion. The presentation was really good. Will definitely return.
Delicious food, server was so nice he explained the shared menu for us and food was delicious, we also got shots from the house and the mix was so good! Will definitely be back
Our experience at El Chino was fantastic. The food, a mix of Latin and Asian fusion, was fresh, innovative, and most importantly, delicious. The tasting menu is very reasonably priced and we left full and satisfied! Ideally, go with 4 people so you can try just about everything on the tasting menu. Most importantly, the service was exceptional. You can tell Roberto Nacho loves what he does and it made the whole experience even more wonderful. Very cute and cozy ambiance, great music, and you can definitely chat with the people at your table without having to yell.
Excellent service & food, all of which was unique. Our waiter Roberto Nacho was fantastic as well. Will be back. Highly recommend the $45 tasting menu.

The food was amazing! 🙂
The tasting menu was absolutely AMAZING, the sea food was super fresh and not at all rubbery, the music was a vibe and our server, Angela I believe, was extremely kind and welcoming. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. It’s an absolute 10/10 on everything.
Great tapas bistro, mixing Asian and Latin food. The tasting menu for 2 is very much worth it, delicate meals at a decent price. Super friendly and helpful staff as well!
Amazing dinner. Reasonnable price and delicious flavors … especially the octopus and filet mignon
Seriously this is some of the best food I ate in Montreal. 10/10 Roberto, our server, was awesome. His passion for the ingredients rubbed off on us. Nothing but great things to say. Definitely come here if you want experience new flavours.
