Same chef after 39 years & still the tastiest Chinese food we know of in Montreal or Brossard. Lots of traditional recipes plus the North American favourites. My father used to have their chicken feet when he brought us. They don’t serve that anymore. Our favourites are: Cantonese rice, spicy shrimp, lobster, barbeque duck, and chicken with assorted stir-fry vegetables with chef’s XO sauce. My kids’ godparents loved their General Tao, chow mein and Spring rolls. I feel like/suspect that people who wrote bad reviews about VIP didn’t actually eat here or got their knickers in a knot reading about a food inspector’s report. The chef makes great tasting, healthy food and is clearly made with - love, care and a lot of experience.

Being Jewish, it is a tradition to go to a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day. So we did the right thing and went to Chinatown and had supper. We found parking within minutes. We left earlier than usual thinking parking would be tough, but it wasn't. We arrived at the restaurant, and took the last table. For starters we had Single bowls of Won-Ton soup and the won-tons were firmly stuffed with pork and shrimp. Followed by (not shown) meat filled egg-rolls with Hunan Dumplings. The main meal was Ginger Lobster, Shrimp with Chinese Broccoli, and Rice sticks with Beef, Green Peppers, and Onions, in Black Bean Sauce. The restaurant was overloaded so there was a long pause between the starters and mains, but we didn't mind. Servers were kind and friendly as usual. Updated 12/25/25

Our food was terrible, with the excuse that the kitchen was busy with takeout orders (the restaurant was only half full). Dumplings arrived with the soup so were cold by the time we got to them. They replaced them with dumplings that were barely warm. The garlic shrimp were inedible due to too much salt (excuse: kitchen too busy). We agreed to an easy switch to anything but the shrimp so we pointed to the next table and suggested a meat dish with vegetables. It arrived without all the vegetables! (Waitress shrugged). Never again!

Last night I took an edible and I had a verrrry specific craving for a nostalgic Canadian-Chinese meal (the ones my family would have only a handful of times a year growing up). The particular criteria for the meal was as follows: 1 - no-frills decor and plastic single-use tablecloths 2 - MSG-filled, glossy coated everything (chicken balls surrounded by a cm of dough, Cantonese chow mein that was crispy and soft at the same time, crunchy umami eggrolls with a sweet plum sauce) 3 - lazy Susans on massive tables for the vibe 4 - fairly empty/not busy, but a good mix of local groups/families and Chinese folks dining in the establishment
And they executed perfectly on every level. No notes.
The reason this place isn’t rated higher is because people aren’t going in with the right expectations. This isn’t a typical Chinese meal, this is the Canadian-Chinese’s take. And they do it so well at VIP.
On top of this, the service was awesome, the oranges at the end of the meal was a nice touch, and all in all, it was quite a good price for the insane portion of food they gave us. I’ll be eating general Tao beef for the next four days.
Can’t wait to come back!
