Restaurant Pinophyta 臻心 — Restaurant in Montreal

Absolutely outstanding dining experience at Restaurant Pinophyta. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Our server deserves special praise. They took the time to patiently explain each section, every dish, and even gave thoughtful recommendations without ever making us feel rushed. That kind of attention, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm is rare, and it turned the whole evening into something special.

The food? Nothing short of incredible. The dumplings were tender and bursting with flavor, the noodles perfectly balanced, the clay pot rice, was rich and fragrant with that amazing crispy bottom layer, and the Dream Chicken lived up to its name. Truly unforgettable. Every dish felt crafted with care and delivered with pride.

The service, food, and staff were exceptional in every way. This restaurant doesn’t just serve dinner, it delivers an experience. They deserve every bit of praise, and I can’t...

My newest find for amazing Chinese food! This is truly a gem for Chinese food and we need more of these in Montreal! We came here 3 times and I can def say the food was delicious and fresh. Hats off to the chef owner because the Clay pot dishes, Hainan chicken and DanDan noodles were better than many many places I've been to all over the place. I def recommend this place for great Chinese food. The "Mouth Watering chicken" (cold dish) is the perfect dish to start off with. Then you can try the Dandan noodles and clay pots. Hainan chicken is very hard to find a good place and this place hits the spot for very good! Expect to see me here often ! One thing they can improve on is the ordering. out of the 3 times I was here, first time the waiter complelty forgot to order the clay pot, second time got the wrong clay pot order. still a 5...

1 star for poorly representing Cantonese and Szechuan culture. It's not good. I've eaten these dishes all my life this place is expensive, and the dishes have no flavor. Claypot rice is supposed to be super fragrant, this claypot rice is somehow both dry and they went light on the flavor they made it "north american".

Hainese chicken rice massive disappointment. Rice not made properly, they didn't put the time in. It's supposed to be glistening with oil, every bite is supposed to literally glide, this rice is tough and fried (what the???), the chicken is supposed to be super super soft but theirs is tough.

It's a dish that if properly done, is done in three different steps and each step takes half a day to do.

They slacked and took a lot of shortcuts, not...
