Maison Vip - Montréal

I visited the restaurant at 3am after a night of drinking. The atmosphere was lively and the food was excellent. A must-try dish is the beef and vegetable birds nest, as well as the salt and pepper pork chops. We also ordered the BBQ pork fried rice and a delicious dry beef chow mein.

I was pleased to find a restaurant that caters to single diners, but I was disappointed that the only option was a fixed full course dinner for $13.95. The meal included Won Ton Soup, Egg Roll, Dry Spare Ribs, Chicken Lo Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, and an Almond Cookie. The portions were generous, and I struggled to finish everything. However, I found the food to be somewhat bland and not quite to my taste preference. If I were to visit again, I would likely avoid the set menu. Despite this, the service was excellent.

I have only been to this restaurant once, and tasted three dishes, but so far Maison VIP is offering the best Chinese food I have ever eaten.  The food was fresh, and lacking that 'muddy ' dulled/tired flavor a lot of Chinese food has.  Sauces were delicately and really deliciously flavored.  Meats were tender and succulent.  Portions are generous too, great for sharing several dishes around, which is what we did.  If you are in or around Chinatown I can strongly recommend that you Maison VIP a try.  If you come during lunch hours, I strongly recommend that you ask for the dinner menu.  They will be happy to provide it to you.  Enjoy.

Jul'2015: Tried this again after many years. Food was wonderful. We had shrimp with fried noodles and another dish with pork, shrimp, chicken and mixed vegetables. Delicious! Service friendly and efficient. Will be going back soon!

Maison VIP is my first choice when I'm in the area. The portions are generous and very tasty. The service is very quick and the servers are ready to make adjustments to your order. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.
