Delicious food and very warm and friendly service! We got the chili wontons, cold chicken, steamed Chinese broccoli, Cantonese wonton soup, and the clear beef broth noodle soup. All excellent! Look forward to returning here again.

This place reminds me of home every time I visit. The food is authentically Cantonese and full of flavor. I love the hainan chicken rice and their noodles. The service is really friendly and welcoming. 100% recommended.

LOVE the pork intestine soup!!!! So clean and so full of flavor even has just the right amount of spice and sesame.

Incredible restaurant. They make the dumplings right where we can see them. Everything tastes like home. I’d come back any day!

One of the very few restaurants in Montreal that have Hainan chicken and it's very delicious. The shrimp wonton soup and claypot rice are wonderful as well. It's a hidden gem in Montreal and I'll be coming back for sure.

I feel sorry to rate 2/5 because Pinophyta has unique items, the service is so great, but the food really disappoints. This is the epitome of just because you are different, high quality, and put in a great effort it does not make you good. First, if you are going to serve COLD blanched flavourless chicken (poulet salivant) then please clarify so. The fridge-cold chicken 🐔❄️ was unexpected and unpleasant. Secondly, the wonton soup hits you with a disappointing broth smell. Strange flavour and taste, and the meat inside the wonton not properly cooked, or wrong flavour idk (pork or beef + shrimp). It's weird bc it feels like they did put in a great deal of effort. I also found the noodles underwhelming, but still high quality, not cheap. Good peanut butter dumplings 🥟 and the service from the dark haired lady (early 20s maybe) with glasses very polite and respectful. Maybe the food is really authentically Chinese and my taste buds have adapted to Chinese-Canadian expectations too much. Until then, this place is only 2/5 for me, but I find it great others like it so much the average goes to 4.8/5, provided the reviews are authentic. Worth a try, but expect very different and potentially unpleasant. Go if you want an unexpected experience while accepting the risk of positive or negative.

Food was good. Homemade noodles were delicious. Potato salad had a nice kick of spice. Sadly, couldn’t try the famous clay pot rice because of a nut allergy. Staff is super kind and attentive.

Delicious noodles, perfect chew flavourful but not overly spicy (ordered dandan) . Really clean restaurant, where you can see the clean kitchen. Friendly waitress. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

I found my new go-to restaurant downtown! Convenient placement, delicious food, amazing value, very warm and kind customer service, nice calm ambience. Had dumplings, fried rice as well. Recommend the fried rice with pine nuts.
