It's a small restaurant. It wasn't busy when we were there. The food was ok. It was my first trying the dishes. The squid fried balls were ok, I didn't expect them to be so chewy. My main dish, the noodles with shrimp and something else, was ok. Maybe another dish would have been better, but the fried pork didn't look appealing, and apparently, it was just ok, too.

It's the second year we order mooncakes there for Mid-Autumn festival. They have so many favours to choose from and they can make them vegan, which is really hard to find anywhere else. It's always so fresh and the owners are so nice.

I’ve never tried Taiwanese much so can’t compare but over all tasty. It cost around 50$ for the beef soup + pork with rice + 2x potatoes and fried chicken. So quite cheap ! We were the only one at that moment and there was no music in the background so we couldn’t talk much I was too shy to talk in the quiet place. I felt watched and heard haha So I still recommend :)

Maison Mignon is very easy to miss. This small family-owned humble business doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside) but don't let appearances deceive you. The food is RIDICULOUSLY good. The owner is INCREDIBLY friendly, hospitable and honest. This is one of the rare places that I actually feel deserves 20%+ tipping. The beef noodle soup is easily one of the best in the city. EASY. This is a complete "Sleeper OP" restaurant. It is LEGITIMATELY one of those hidden gems. The prices are fairly low too. Strong recommendation for the Beef Noodle Soup and Almond Shrimp plate.

Excellent homemade beef noodle soup with tender beef, chewy ramen noodles, and light soup broth. Love their marinated veggies /Sauerkraut (酸菜)! Crispy chicken was just ok, not garlicky enough nor much basil flavour for my taste for traditional Taiwanese popcorn chicken; though they are very fresh and crispy! Very friendly owners, and fast service. Look forward to try other homemade dishes next time!

I ordered the cantonese fried noodles, I had never tried it so I cant really say if it was the dish I didnt like or if it was just poorly cooked. The kitchen was ready very quickly, and when I looked to see if my dish had one last kosher shrimp because it was the thing that I like the most and I found a hair, I have dyed hair so I I know it wasnt mine, I saw the cook come out and she wasnt wearing a net for her hair... I left feeling sick after this discovery.

The chicken in the chicken dishes was slimy which I dont like very much and the restaurant is dull apart from some nice decorations. Also, there was no one there on a Saturday evening, it was depressing. That being said, the eggrolls were very good and the service was good even though English only. After going back to taste the Taiwanese fried chicken and beef soup, once again its ok but nothing more, I wont go back.

It was delicious! (Sesame Beef Noodle Soup). Good service. A little disappointed that we didnt get to try the UFO cake because we ordered on a weekday. We will definitely come back to try it! Also, excellent portion for the price. Its definitely worth it. Delicious food! (Beef noodle soup & beef sesame plate) Good service. Just sad that we couldnt try the UFO cake because we ordered during the week. We will definitely come back to try it! Also, a great portion for the price. Absolutely worth it.

I could not give you a review that described exactly what type of food this was, Chinese, Taiwanese or other oriental style as I have not got enough expertise to do that. I can tell you what you need to know though. Whatever type of food you wish to call it my family and I can only use one thing, Delicious! There is plenty in each portion and it comes out fresh to order, piping hot and full of flavour. Please do yourself a favour and visit this complete gem where you can still get real food at a very reasonable price. You will not regret it , particularly if you also chat with the owner who is a very friendly gentleman.

Humble small mom and pop shop. The owner was very courteous and made an effort in getting to know us. We had their beef noodle soup before, it was good. Today, I took out their beef noodle soup and stir-fried vermicelli for my parents. Mom said the vermicelli tasted very good. They make their own pineapple cakes. They also make moon cakes in 6 flavours.

The sesame beef was good, nothing more, a hearty meal. The waiter served me in French throughout despite his limited knowledge of the language, well done! That s a big plus! P.S I would have difficulty differentiating sesame beef and general tao chicken because they taste so much the same... In short, its a good, unpretentious Asian restaurant.

Its a small mom & pop shop. The restaurant is tiny and cold in the winter. Their fried fish was great. The beef noodle soup was good. Dont expect a big menu or big Chinese style variety, they have a number of fried dishes that they do well plus the beef soup. Very modest place. I think its more suited for takeout.

Perfect takeout for lockdown! Meat is very flavourful and tender, one of the best beef , chicken and pork I ve ever eaten, hands down. Vegetables are perfectly steamed/sautéed, not oily Or salty. There s a good variety of fresh vegetables in the plates. The soup base is perfect: hearty but not oily, flavourful but not too salty. Portion size is good for 1 adult hungry man. Plates are well balanced in terms of macro nutrients. I personally would like a little more vegetables though. Not much, if any, food additives is added, unlike most Asian restaurants I ve visited. Desert (pineapple cake) has perfect texture, flavour, butteriness is not too much and is not overly sweet. The food overall is delicious and healthy and filling and very reasonably priced. If i didn t like variety, I d probably eat there every day. Family owned business with amazing hospitality !!!

It was our first time ordering moon cakes from Maison Mignon and I am impressed with the quality of their products. No preservatives, great client experience, love the packaging options and all this skills brought from Taiwan! The moon cakes comes in different varieties of flavours: red beans, green beans, taro, pineapple etc. We also ordered the Taiwanese pineapple short cakes, A+mazing as well. Tasty! I would definitely recommend and be a return customer for sure! Thank you for making quality pastries.

A family-style Taiwanese restaurant with a clean environment and a friendly owner. Beef noodles will be paired with a plate of pickled vegetables, which is the most authentic in Mengdao. Braised pork rice with some meat soup is also a good match. The wheel cakes, which are only available on Fridays and Saturdays, are hand-made by the owner. There are two fillings, red bean and cream, available on the day. The machine used for making them is specially shipped from Taiwan. It is located between Du Collège and Côte-Vertu metro stations, with metered parking spaces in front of the door.

We went there with a large group that also included kids. The food was as I was expecting from a Taiwanese cuisine, and I enjoyed our time there. Its a small restaurant, there are only a few tables in a smallish room. The food took a bit long to come, which was a bit annoying, but overall it was good. The restaurant closes a bit early in summer (8pm), so make sure you arrive early.

Genius Taiwanese food and a hidden gem in Montreal. We originally found this place through a friend who found it while searching for Taiwanese restaurants in Montreal, and the service we got is anything beyond ordinary. Granted, they are a small family business located in a slightly remote area, but everything we ordered (beef noodle, taiwanese porc and rice, fish fillet and rice, dried tofu) were so nuanced that they go beyond the sweet, salty, spicy and bitter that is so common of the western food culture. And this is something you know as soon as you pick up the spoon: the broth is intricately made, the beef is tender and nuanced, the noodle is just moderately cooked and great. They also manage to turn fish fillet and porc into some kind of local delicacy. Its like every detail counts. To be sure, weve gone to a lot of restaurants in Montreal, but a nuanced taste like this one is still almost impossible to find (definitely not in any large restaurant chain thats for sure). The owner and his wife dont really compromise on the quality, and they dont use fillers or other artificial ingredients in their products. You get a giant serving for less price than you get in downtown or other restaurants, and if youre lucky, you might get served other goodies thats not on the official menu. In fact, we got served some after-meal homebrew tea and homebrew black coffee (ingredients all imported from Taiwan, again these are not cheap for them, and they dont cut the cost here). And heres the funny part: the owner served us the coffee as a surprise gift to fellow compatriots. All in all, definitely a 7-star service as described in some business book. They go far beyond a simple business transaction. Friendly and chatty owner (an honest and an amusing man as well), with a true Taiwanese spirit of service. Any one with a tongue and living nearby should check it out its like eating at home except perhaps much better.
