Reviews of Chow's Restaurant (Restaurant)

Robin Dona

For what its worth its OK but nothing refined

ken outram

They used to have fantastic food . This is my first time back in a few years and it's terrible won't recommend it to anyone

Augustine Silva

I certainly liked the dishes and service, awesome location nearby to my residence. The cashiers are always welcoming. Will come visit again.

Paula Ribeiro

Good variety,price and service

jennifer kane

Great buffet

Jay

Egg rolls are better than any other Chinese around they haven't changed in the 30 years I've been eating them. The garlic spare ribs are delicious. Everything else is kind of your typical Chinese food. If you're an Egg roll and garlic spare ribs fan they do them great here! Lady who works the phones needs to learn some manners.

Christian Ouellet

Chowssss. Hunan dumpling are the best dumpling in mtl

Michael Deuitch

Inexpensive buffet at lunchtime.

Fred Gosselin

Love the food from this restaurant. The look its not the best inside and outside but the food is really good. The service is great nice place.

Richard Hould

Small local Chinese buffet. Not large choice but a cozy atmosphere. Go regularly

Robin Monfette

Good food good prices!

Seantastic Sean

My wife hates it but I love it. Great American Chinese food buffet and the Singapore noodles a la carte are very good!

We ordered some food for the family this past Sunday ( Feb 19th, 2017). Not only was it expensive, but the food tasted past due. The egg roll stuffing and fried rice tasted bland and old, the pineapple chicken as well. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere else for Chinese take-out.

phil l'intrépide-the dreamer

unfortunately, in the last decade, this once gem of dorval has gone downhill... the buffet is pitiful and the prices have not gone down. i was a regular 10 years ago and stopped eating there because the quality of the food drastically changed. please go back to old chows.

Trina S.

Small and cozy. The inexpensive lunch time all you can eat buffet is well worth the money spent. The dinner buffet is priced well also and the staff is always pleasant and helpful.

Best Chinese buffet in the West Island. The waiter was very nice, he let us come in early before opening (we thought that it opened earlier). Food was piping hot and freshly made for dinner time. Best items are won ton soup, egg rolls and plum sauce. The rest of the food was pretty good for $14 on a Saturday evening. From what I saw, the place looked pretty clean. I will gladly be a customer as long as they are open.

Alexzander M

I regularly come grabbing some food in here. I liked the rapid service and well prepared dishes. 5 stars from me.

Steve Miller

The buffet had its fair share of stale tasting food. Degolase

Ilene LaRose

It is a Dorval institution, always satisfying the Friday night eat in.

Anna-Maria Botosan

Good food, not enough choice for buffet

pi “PIF” f

First time for this restaurant. Ordered take out. Food was mostly bland or too salty. Really not impressed with my order. Spent $50+ thinking I would have leftovers for a couple of meals but it's going in the garbage.

A Maldonado

This restaurant is obviously one of the most pleasant place to eat in the region. Always when I come there I am very satisfied. They keep their high standard service and the highest level of cooking they provide. You surely will enjoy this this place. Warmly recommended.

Renee Pauze

We went for the evening buffet. The food was very good and the service was great! I don't know what I expected but the restaurant felt like a very comfortable neighborhood restaurant. Just what I needed on a chilly winter night...very welcoming!

Lana Cox

I have not ate at the restaurant myself but have ordered take out and was very satisfied it was ready fast and was piping hot and there was plenty to go around the menu is very agreeable to everyone the Gen Tao was excellent ...staff was quick to notice you and courteous..would recommend this to all....very nice choice from their menu. Went there last week with my parents and they loved the cantoneese chow mean. Huge plate for a bargain.

lindsay brown

Quick bite buffet.

Shannon Marie Marie

It's was ok. Nothing to Rave about. Alittle dusty and could use a cleaning. Staff was great. Always checking on you. Ensuring you always have cold water or need anything.

Joel Williamson

Once you get past the strange, run-down decor, the food is relatively tasty for the price.

Penelope Castro de Emergui

Very friendly staff, not a large menu but what we got was delicious and very good price .

Mr. Locks

Me and my dad go here every weekend. We love it at Chows! It is family owned, family run, and family friendly! The food is awesome, the waiters are the best I saw anywhere so far, finish your water and before you can turn around, your cup is filled!!! We even made a family friend there, too!

Bereczki Roland

Felix Macia

The place doesn't look like much but the food is excellent and the prices very affordable. I will definitely go back again.

Eliseo Leach

This restaurant is my preferred one. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this restaurant I keep coming back again and again. The team is very warm and the cuisine they offer is so delicious. I would always prefer to have a nice dinner here. I highly recommend this place.

Jean-Pierre Moreau

Food wasn't were good and dessert are little too much cooler

mike mildenberger

Horrible old food

Haik kazarian

Ok well, it’s not 5 stars cause it’s not 5 stars. But! My first experience having been at 5 PM when everything is fresh, whatever was there was pretty good given the low price. So I can’t complain. Had 2 plates and am full! Also the manager is really a really chill but loud Asian guy, just as you hope to see to add some authenticity!

Gregory Sweeney

Good food and good service.

Daniel Hebert

Love the Canadian Chinese food

Danielle Richards

We didn't even stay to eat. The place was dirty, looked deserted, the owners (I assume) seemed annoyed we walked in.

Plastered and Castered

Dont understand all the negative reviews. This place is dependable, reliable and you always know what to expect. The buffet isnt great, but its always satisfying. Not to mention inexpensive. Plus they have the best eggrolls in the business. As far as i know with internet searches, they have a good track record for cleanliness. Ive never had a bad experience at Chows.

Best Buffet in Dorval.

uolliac

Just bad food sorry

Corey Lemoine

They're very friendly and have great food. I especially love their fried rice and egg rolls.

jonathan p-a

This place is a small place mainly for the local community, they offer buffet and menu service. The staff is very welcoming. The food selections are limited. The interior decoration is neat and unique

Terrie LB

Always late. Not 5-10 min late, usually takes 1.5 hour to get my food. Plus, they charge for delivery! Charging for late delivery, really?

Melissa Lockey-Chatham

As a Dorval staple you tend to eat here more out of loyalty than quality. I have come here for years and will probably continue to till it closes or I move too far away. It's also the only Chinese buffet I know of in the Dorval area. The decor is dated and tacky but it feels like home. It never changes. They're delivery is always hot and fresh, so I'll give it that point. The interior buffet is small but has all the classic dishes you'd want to sample on.

Thanatos EightZeroEight

Good ol'fashioned buffet

Roland Osborne

The service was horrible waited too long when I got service it was very short like I know what to do,it was my first time when I ask questions to the waitress it's like the way she spoke to me like I know what to do and how to use your system,so when I ordered my food she charged me twice it was the worst experience I've had going to a restaurant of any kind in Montreal never again will I go there or suggested to anyone ????

Nick Wheeler

Very cozy, kitschy vibe. Staff is A+ friendly and it's hella cheap. The food quality is not amazing compared to some other places but great for the price.

Anouchka Legault

I ordered via SkipTheDishes and I had to call them one hour later so they confirm my order. I ordered at 11:27am and it’s now 1:42pm and I still haven’t received my food! I called SkipTheDishes and canceled my order. Result: I’m pregnant and I still haven’t eat today. NEVER ORDERING THERE AGAIN.

Natty C

Yuck...bland and didn't get our order right.

Cory Ramos

This place is worth a visit. They serve big portions for affordable prices. Consistently well organized and with great character. Highly recommended.

Rikki Carman

Staff was friendly but the food was... eh

Gregory Bancel

(Translated) We were in Dorval to take our plane and ordered this restaurant for delivery. A word of advice, don't order from them. Filthy food, served in pots and the general tao chicken I took was served without rice. My girlfriend's shrimp had no taste and when it came to the noodles, there was water in the pot and really had no taste. I never put comments like that, but we were more disgusted than anything else. (Original) Nous étions à Dorval pour prendre notre avion et avons commandé ce restaurant en livraison. Un conseil, ne commandez surtout pas chez eux. Bouffe immonde, servie dans des pots et le poulet général tao que j'ai pris était servi sans riz. Les crevettes de ma copine n'avaient pas de goût et quand aux nouilles, il restait de l'eau dans le pot et n'avaient vraiment aucun goût. Je ne mets jamais des commentaires comme cela, mais nous étions plus dégoûté qu'autre chose.

Sameday Express

I wanted to place an order from this restaurent they are charging delivery charge 3 dollar Plus they have minimum amount requirement which is 15 dollar If I am paying 3 dollar delivery charge there should not be any minimum amount set up on the order .I can not order more than one dish for my launch which is less than 15 dollar , I have no other choice to place the order from another restaurent . I am going to order from Amir or McDonald ,

Gaetan LeBlanc

(Translated) Not good to go not the pinaple chicken the chicken as big as a louse inside the remaining just the dough that tastes the day before oil brrr (Original) Pas bon aller pas la pinaple chicken le le poulet gros comme un pous a l’interieure le restant juste dla pate qui goute la veille huile brrr

Lucky Lewin

People prices are all the best here , amazing service even for delivery I gotta say they are well worth it to drive from Granby qc to Dorval

Richard Harris-Abbott

Truly terrible. Ordered with door dash, first time using, we always tip on Uber Eats after delivery (to ensure it’s good food!), so when the driver arrived and told us off for not tipping them stormed away from the door - great way to get a tip! Second point is the food - we threw most of it away, the chicken fried rice contain no chicken but at least was edible; the chicken chow main contain THREE NOODLES and the rest bean sprouts, one small piece of chicken; the garlic ribs pure fat and also inedible; the springs rolls were flat, essentially empty and burnt deep fried. Worth zero stars.

Audrey de Lara

For the first time, I decided to order food online and I followed up on the phone because I was not sure if my order went through. The lady who picked up the phone was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. She hung up on me not once, but THREE times when I was STILL talking. When I was asking questions about my food and the time when it will be delivered to the hotel, she was VERY condescending. You know who you are. I never write reviews and am very sympathetic towards food chain workers. But you really stood out.

Sky Tri

For value you can't go wrong... cheap chinese food at a relatively cheap price... limited buffet but but but will get full easily.... same owner for 37++ years, same decor as well!!! Ok!

Sarah Flynn

Takeout service was confusing and self contradictory and the chow mein was too salty to eat. Otherwise good chinese food

hebert daniel

Love the fresh and inexpensive food

Diane Lefebvre

(Translated) Small restaurant, family style the buffet is small but excellent. Courteous staff but even though we are in Quebec, he speaks only English. (Original) Petit resto, genre familial le buffet est petit mais excellent. Personnel courtois mais même si nous sommes au Québec et bien il parle que l'anglais.

Katrina R

Great place for a quick buffet meal

Steven Vinetti-Huot

Great size servings, on expensive side $40-45 for 2, delivery may take up to an hour but you are warned, food quality is good. Overall I give Chows a 4 star! Hot n Sour soup has some shredded chicken in it!!! Jumbo breaded shrimp are great get a 1/2 portion to try them out. Egg rolls a great comes with some meal options like the (TV dinner #14) General Tao chicken with white rice. The general tao chicken is made different here, has a darker sauce and breaded chicken not as crispy as other places but it's my go to dish here because it's good in its own way. Girlfriend gets the (TV dinner #7) brown gravy ribs/chicken fried rice and wonton soup she gives 4 stars also.

G. Mallory

Mediocre Chinese food. Place desperately needs nice decor.

Rick Sanders

Been there many times and always great food and service!

Glyn Clarke

Expensive, poor choices, mediocre food.

Natalie D

It's new years eve and we ordered chinese food they said it would probably be 2 hours ,we didn't mind. We were expecting mediocre food because they were so busy. It was a 2 hour wait and worth every second . Everything was fresh and fabulous I don't have even one complaint. Happy new years to everyone

Ikwo Ndiomu

Chinese buffet, not pricey. The kids loved it, especially the dessert. Service was great!

Carl Beaulieu

Didn’t work - put in order for pick up and was not advised to pick it up. Please cancel me from this app

I tried this place before with my friend and I am hooked ever since. I liked the awesome ambience and tasty food and drinks. 5 stars from me.

Tiffany Woo

The quality isn't bad what what do you expect for the price. The waiters are funny and polite and always top my water glass all the time

Dennis Mendez

food not authentic.. driver stole 10$ from me as i overpayed and he could have been honest since i did gave him a tip..lesson learned. when i call restaurant they say thats how chow restaurant is ..lol never again

Dean Dyckow

small but decent buffet

Patrick Miles

Been there forever, food is still great

Husker Fox

I have to take 2 star off because of your early close time on weekend. Stay open at least till 1 or 2 on Friday and Saturday. You should at least do dillivery till then. Your the only place in the area that serves what you serves. You stay open later, advertis about it and the Night time crowd will poor in.

Chas Andersson

Over 50 years of great Chinese Food....a fantastic spot.

Nancy Nelson

Love the cantonese chow mein and the chicken foo young is amazing, their shrimp in black bean sauce great tasting.❤️

The Whitestrake

Good for a cheap work lunch.

Jay Kap

Great food but not the desserts and the restaurant was cold. People are great

Afe 33

I ordered chicken noodles they gave me pork instead. I am allergic to pork . I have been warned a lot that Asians give you pork instead of chicken to make money because pork costs nothing. Stay away from them the noodle the rice everything was disgusting.

archon9000

The take out food is pretty decent, and the price is right. Do not expect the quality you get when ordering meals from high-end szechuan restaurants, but the standard Chinese restaurant meals are very good.

If you want delivery, get it yourself , delivery guy was so rude and mean .

John Constantinides

This is Montreal's oldest authentic Chinese restaurant. It's highly recommended by international top chef David Chang. Do not leave Montreal without going here. It is an institution.

Clément Rousseau

Not to bad only buffet in dorval that im aware of price are a bit high

Marilyn Bibby

A family favorite. Never disappoints. Always polite and efficient service.

Adam Jacques

Exactly what you'd expect its basically a dive all you can eat chines restaurant. They have a selection of different foods spare ribs and really good fried rice! This is a classic spot for a quick local all you can eat, you'll leave full.

Ian Decentralize (MadeInDreams)

(Translated) The best buffet I have ever had in my life. The food is excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is authentic nothing to do with the other buffet. I give 4 stars because there is a lack of choice in the buffet. I would have liked to see more variety. (Original) Le meilleurs buffet ou jai été dans ma vie. La nourriture est excellente et j'ai été agréablement surpris. L'ambiance est authentique rien à voir avec les autres buffet. Je donne 4 étoiles car il manque de choix dans le buffet. J'aurai aimé voir plus de variété.

My favourite Chinese buffet

etienne vallee

(Translated) Rather slow delivery. The burnt butterfly prawns, with supposedly bacon, that we have never found, my meal was ok for me without more, I think the chef did not often make these butterfly prawns which also lacked brown sauce. On my next visit In this sector, I will order elsewhere. (Original) Livraison assez lente. Les crevettes papillons brulées, avec supposément du bacon, que l on a jamais trouvé, mon Repas complétait ok pour moi sans plus, je crois que le chef ne faisait pas souvent ces crevettes papillon qui aussi manquait de sauce brune. A ma prochaine visite Dans ce secteur ,je commanderai ailleurs.

(Translated) Eat well, cheap for lunch (Original) Ont mange bien , pas cher pour le lunch

Manager/waiter person was very nice and tidy, packed up our leftover food for us. Food came quickly and was pretty good. Could've been spicier (general tao)

shantelle morrison

I love love love the upgrade! The general Tao is so good, I ordered it for supper, then for breakfast the next day. The beef and broccoli was really good too. Their food seems to be a lot fresher than before, and it's worth the price. I'm craving it soo bad right now. ????❤chow's

One of my favorite places to grab some food. excellent location, well kept, and fantastic customer service. Keep it up!

Michael Lauzon

This was actually the very first restaurant where I ever had Chinese food, of course this was back in 1984, I was living at a group home -- Allancroft, unit Woodside, in Beaconsfield, QC -- then, and we went to Chow's for supper and then went to the Dorval cinema which is no longer there, we saw "Conan the Destroyer". I loved the food, and we -- the group home -- went a few times throughout the 1980s, I think the last time may have been around 1987, but the food was still excellent. I then didn't go again until December of 1999, because I was no longer living in Quebec, and hadn't been since the early 1990s, the food was still excellent, and the Dorval cinema was still in operation, so I went to see "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" after I ate. I think why people are having issues with the place is the time they go there, certain times of the day may be better than others. And, my suggestion, don't do takeout, go directly there and order, because you'll get better service!

Kent Bheekoo

Chows is the way if your in the west and want to skip the 30$+ bill for chinese buffet. Super friendly and good quality. Was able to relax while i ate, never rushed and felt at home. Great place highly recommended. chow's is awesome.

Marc Girard

It's a 10$ Chinese buffet... Take it or leave it

Samme Lem

(Translated) Really good and fresh ... someone recommended the won ton soup, really delicious and traditional. Besides they should include the soup in the combo .. Only thing the pineapple chicken was lacking in taste. Otherwise I recommend! :) (Original) Vraiment bon et frais...quelquun avais recommender la soupe won ton, vraiment délicieuse et traditionnel.Dailleur ils devrait inclure la soupe au combo..

Eli Chemtob

very generic buffet, but also very cheap. non buffet food at chows is somewhat better. excellent general tao on the takeout menu

Allison Saunders

Been enjoying CHOWS since the 80s and is the meal of many a family celebration. And the eggrolls? Hard to find better.

Jacques Cherrier

reasonably price.. american chinese cuisine.

Randy Scardocchio

Waited over an hour and a half for food to be delivered. When the hotel is only a 5 minute drive. Only to find out there was a portion missing. Called to make restaurant aware of their mistake. The receptionist wanted to argue telling me the whole order was sent. Not happy at all being ripped off. Lying theives!

Food fine but very oily and they dnt have choices like snacks and main course is same .

Natasha C

Person on the phone was nice but delivery took longer then advertised (1h10mins compared to 45). Prices on the website are not current. When I mentioned this to the driver he said I was wrong because the price is correct in the printed menu and the time is on the bill. There were two bills, one handwritten and 25minutes after I called and the other printed 45 minutes after I called. He just shrugged and said "at least it's hot because I had to wait for it". That together wouldn't earn a 1 star review but the food was bad. I would put no star if I could. Egg roll filling tastes sour. Batter fried chicken is saturated with oil. Pineapple shrimp is a mess of fried batter clumps and naked shrimp. No chicken in the chicken fried rice... In fact nothing but rice. Not ordering here again.

Cara McCallum

Always good! Always a treat!

Stevo

We felt like Chinese food and decided to try Chows. We paid almost 100$ and we were extremely disappointed with the lack of freshness. The chicken soo guy and egg rolls were hard and it was obvious they were re-heated/fried. The general tao was a large clump of batter with a small piece of bone in it. A couple of pieces of broccoli had brown marks on them. I normally don’t write bad reviews but we expected much better for what we paid for this meal

Eden Booker

Roger O'Rielly

It’s been awhile since I ordered from here. Unfortunately, it was just mediocre and not really worth the cost. General tao was quite salty and the meat was tough. Took exactly 1 hour for delivery which is kind of lengthy. With the added $3 delivery charge, it seems expensive. Chicken soo guy was soft to soggy, probably due to the long delivery time.

Cora Stanton

The food was not good. But the price was really low so can't complain...

Roger Fauteux

the food is very good and not so expensive

Great tiki decor and atmosphere makes you feel in another era completely. Food is typical Canadian Chinese food.

Andrew Estrada

I love western Chinese buffet, and this place is a winner! Very cute place inside, small selection, but delicious if you know what you came for. Went for lunch buffet on a Saturday... $10!

Das Valhalla3

Wow! A little gem in the West Island! Yes due to covid-19, it’s only take out and deliveries. It’s worth it. The reception is professional, humorous and easy going, and all done with speed. Considering she was slammed with calls and two walk-in clients plus my student and I. Dai-Sau (the female receptionist), not her real name, just a polite way of addressing your female elders. All prepared in under 15 mins, felt less in actuality. The food was amazing, nothing too sweet. It’s just full of flavour and huge quantities, to our surprise ????. Highly recommend! It’s an iconic landmark, considering it’s been around since 1961 (60 years of resturant business). That’s impressive! ???? Cheers!

rick hamer

Chows has been in business for about 50 years at this location. It is a survivor in dorval . The second owners have kept the interior the same way since the beginning and it's like walking back in time of our youth , school days this was the go too place for lunch and as my own family loves it still. It's not a glamorous restaurant but it is friendly and food is perfect in my opinion as it has always been. Get there early on some days because it gets full . It was nice reminiscing with the new owners about the days when we were kids eating take out there and knowing that dedicated clientele are still flocking to eat here. They do speak several languages and for some peoples comments that they are to loud and sound like they are fighting in the kitchen then you have no idea what you are talking about! Thank you chows as I'll always be a dedicated customer. P.s try ordering on the menu since it's an experience for different types of foods.

Mike Cardinal

Excellent small Chinese restaurant, food is really good especially the egg rolls, prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

Tricia Boyce

The best Chinese food u can find!!

Charles Hebert

Just dont. Im still chewing on there rubbery beef and chicken.

Charles John Casimiro

Your #1 stop for delicious Chinese food @ the West Island! Me and family usually go here for weekend brunch buffet, but due to the pandemic that's not possible anymore (we miss the interaction with the great staff @ Chow's T_T); however they keep the same quality with their take-outs! So if you are craving for some authentic Chinese cuisine and you want to support a local business! This is the place to call or pick-up your lunch/dinner!

Jean-Sebastien Bleau

Cheap, classic Canadian Chinese, limited variety of choices however everything is fresh and tasty... Quick in and out, perfect for lunch. Amazing won ton soup

The receptionist was rude and my food is way to salty! I had to dump in the garbage. I will never eat here again..!! The delivery man was the only pleasant thing. Waste of money and food!! Shame!!

Very limited food options, but nice service

Sabrina Milano

Good mom and pop place. Not fancy, nice people, inexpensive buffet.

Jen Bang

Delivery portion size is really big and all foods were tasty. Truly worth it compare to the price.

The food

Mannu Bhogal

Excellent food taste wise and quantity wise as compared to price.For take out it is good but do not dine in ,if you dine in you may find the owner with small hairs end up eating your left over food after you left,on the same table in your dirty plates.

Jenna Cox

Yummy food, great service, great price! :)

Jamie MacIntosh

It was good. Selection was ok.

S King

Chows take out. Very disappointed, food tasted stale and reheated.

If your a cra ppy critic you need to go elsewhere. This place is amazing. Staff is great. Food is great. Everyone needs to have a taste.

(Translated) Great food, great service, great price. (Original) Bonne bouffe, bon service, bon prix.

Tabitha Marie Geraghty

Great buffet!! Loved the service and this place is an institution

Katie Maguire

The take out portions are small to me. I prefer more value for my money. They are a monopoly in the area as there are no other chinese food places. Go to Mr. Spicy on Sources. Nice staff- good food.

Stephanie Walborn

"Classic greasy American-Chinese food, the staff is great."

王迪杰

(Translated) Very bad experience, the food is not fresh, no taste! The service staff were very poor at work, and they were shouting loudly when they were eating! I think this store should be closed as soon as possible! (Original) 非常差的一次体验，食物不新鲜，没有味道！读服务人员工作态度很差，客人在吃饭的时候他们却在大声喧哗！我认为这家店应该尽快关闭！

I placed an order at 7:04pm at night for delivery. Called back at 8pm to cancel because food didnt arrive yet. I live down the street from the establishment. unacceptable.

Greg Dunning

I've been eating Chow's takeout for 40 years. The fact that it has been in business for over 50 years on Dorval Avenue at the same location simply says that people like what they serve. Sure there is higher quality Chinese in Montreal but Chow's still serves the best try garlic spare ribs in the city.

Richard William

Love Chows. Tasting great since 1964 for our family.

The ambiance and staff are really nice. The food is good.

Jim Bussiere

Consistent quality for 50 + years

tyler pearson

mediocre food that left me feeling sick paired with aggressively rude mediocre service

Gilles Girardot

(Translated) Still as good (Original) Toujours aussi bon

Shawn Campbell

Bro chows is the best for normal Chinese food, like 80's Chinese food. Everything you'd want it to be.

Ann Alexander

Best Chinese food in town

Beverly Milstein

This is the greatest chines restaurant , I been going 39 years there,and still going. They are so fantastic the food. It is not big , they are so very nice.

Lorna Cappelli

We ordered and picked up Dinner #7 last night and, if we didn't live 20 minutes away, we would have returned it because of the poor quality.The subgum chow mein was soggy, the spareribs burnt, chicken soo guy so tough we could barely cut it with a knife and breaded shrimp soggy also.

barbara patterson

Good old time chinese food.????

Robert Lauzon

(Translated) Good little asian restaurant. The buffet is traditional and limited. Retro interior decor all clad in bamboo wood. An old Chinese restaurant that defies time. The eggrolls they make are really delicious. (Original) Bon petit restaurant asiatique. Le buffet est de type traditionnel et limité. Décor intérieur rétro tout plaqué en bois de bambou. Un vieux resto chinois qui défi le temps. Les eggrolls qu'ils font sont vraiment délicieux.

Lisa S Gagnon

Perfect

Jennifer Bauersfeld

First time trying everything was hot and delivery wasn't very long

Paul Cannell

The food is not very fresh

Q Q

It is tiny and the food was terrible. One of the worst buffet I have even seen.

Edward Nardella

If you want a high end experience go elsewhere. The prices are very low. The service is extremely friendly (more than most restraunts) and polite but not formal. The selection is small, somewhere between good and great in quality. The decor is either charming or tacky depending on your perspective. The staff will occasionally speak loudly amongst themselves in a foreign language, someone I know finds this incredibly amusing and isn't frequent enough to be disruptive to a good meal. The desserts appear to be budget offerings from offsite. The ice cream is very good by buffet standards.

Patricia Langill

The food was great! Freshly made.

Tara Neal

Best eggrolls!

Nathalie Blais

I ordered here for yrs and use to love it, todays order was disgusting ... fried pork rice not fried, hot & sour soup had the constancy of jello and the rest of the order was very greassy .. i guess after more then 30 yrs ordering there this will be my last order .. i will have to trow most of my order down the toilet .. and they have the balls to sur charge $1.50 for using my debit card which they never did before.

Amanda Welch

Very cheap food for cost but also quality. We ordered from here 2 times, Basic food, doesn't taste bad but never did we say wow amazing.

John Mackinnon

Ordered Dinner #6 today for delivery. Friendly person on the phone took our order and it was delivered to Pte-Claire in 40 mins. Hot and delicious as usual. Best egg rolls I’ve ever had. Thanks Chows!

Peter B

Dining room closed but great takeout Very fresh and tasty and plenty.of.it

Tam T

Old-school Chinese buffet. (Take out also available.) One of the few of its kind remaining. Courteous owners. Small selection. Fairly priced.

Paul Gilbert

Go there often food good good service fast delevery

Christian Carlos

(Translated) I live in Saint Leonard and once a month I go to Dorval just for the won tom soup which I think is the best I have ever tasted !!! (Original) je vie a saint leonard et une fois par mois je vais jusqua dorval juste pour la soupe won tom qui selon moi c la meilleur que j'ai jamais goûté!!!

Paul Meanwell

Excellent food and service favorite place in Montréal

barbara weston-bird

HAVE BEING GOING TO CHOW'S FOR 27 YEARS AND AFTER TODAY WILL NEVER GO AGAIN, DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY,WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO THE LADY WHO IS ALWAYS AT THE CASH, THIS IS THE ANSWER I GOT QUOTE "SOMETIME THEY DO NOT CLEAN SO WELL" UNQUOTE.

Stephen Eyton-Jones

Smaller selection than you'd expect, but I enjoyed the food. Egg rolls are the best.

Lynn Le

I always order take out here, so I can’t say how their dining service is, but their food have always been as is. Nothing’s changed and it’s still good for the price. No complaints here!

David Légaré

Food is alright for a quick craving.

Lynne M

I have not been inside, but take out/delivery food is back to tasting good. They had dropped the ball there for a while, but I'm happy to report our last order from Chow's was very good.

Santino Domingo

Cozy little place and friendly staff

Alex Boulerice

To be honest i thought it was closed for good but inside is nice

E GAGE

love the decor, i feel like i won a Survivor reward challenge, Good food at an affordable price

Davidson Anetor

Great

Krystian Klima

Cheap and good dinner buffet, supper is more expensive for basically the same thing. The general Tao that you order is completely different from the buffet one

Colv Onquack

Food is cheap and fairly consistent. Best eggrolls EVER

Ginette Ouellette

(Translated) Wow eating it is wonderful the service also thank you (Original) Wow le manger est merveilleux le service aussi merci

Jason Ruby

Cold food though an assortment, would not recommend

Peter Jackson

Restaurant was run down & dirty. Food was terrible! We had a chubby older asian man waiter with glasses serving us and he was the worst!!! I strongly suggest going somewhere else to eat as this place should be shut down!!!!

Geoffrey Pierro

The delivery driver was very rude and demanded his tip, thought he was going to fight me for a 4$ tip. His debit machine did not work obviously and kept demanding other debit cards as if i had alot of them. With This experience, never ask for delivery. Go get it yourself. But the boss was very kind, but i will not excuse the delivery man.

Derrick Gannon

Great for cheap eats

Bev wohlmuth

I love this place . It is small but the food is great and I was going for 30 years.

Moe Kolokithias

OK for a quick inexpensive lunch.

Peter Brown

Attentive waiters but food on the buffet was tasteless and stodgy.

Erin Kajaks

Amazing service, fresh food, always being filled. Amazing price. Don't judge a book by its cover. Outside is deceiving.

Cindy C

Super delicious eggrolls. Reminded me of the ones my grandma used to make (with some help from me) at their Canadian chinese food restaurant in the South Shore. I drive in from West Island and order at least a dozen to go whenever I'm in yhe area. Do your groceries at the Maxi across the street and before driving home, pick up a dozen (call ahead) and use side door for pickup during Covid.

Annie Leblanc

(Translated) Super good and very good service (Original) Super bon et très bon service

Stephane Ferland

Don't go here if you're looking for healthy options. It's too delicious for you. Also be weary of the take-out portion sizes. I'm gonna have leftovers for days.

Carolina Embrey

Love this place, cool cashiers

alex lamothe

Buffet isn’t great, but delivery is the way to go with this place... it’s pretty good for eating at home...

CKesz

For 11$ the best Chinese buffet not gourmet not seafood(except shrimp) but some killer general ta0 and probably the best won Tom soup on the planet.

George Jetson

I went here as a kid a quite a few times, and even as a kid, who loved to eat at restaurants, there was always something about Chow's. If you like a not-so-good greasy Chinese buffet than this is the place for you. Everything is quite oily, or not cooked well (never under cooked or raw, just not right). I ordered noodles once and parts of the noodled were burnt. Truly a place for those who don't care about quality.

josuha sauvé

(Translated) The worst Chinese I've ever eaten. Very low quality food. Very disappointed (Original) Le pire chinois que jai manger de ma vie. Nourriture de très basse qualité. Très deçus
