Steps from Préfontaine metro, Maneki Comptoir Asiat’ blends pan-Asian cuisine with a sleek, minimalist vibe that feels refreshingly out of place in Hochelaga’s gritty charm. The menu pulls flavours from across Asia—Vietnamese coffee, Pad Thai (dubbed Pad Homa in a cheeky nod to the neighbourhood), and General Tao chicken all share space here. Portions are generous, the shrimp wontons are a standout, and dishes like salt-and-pepper tofu cater to vegetarians.
The spot is tiny, but the ambiance punches above its weight with thoughtfully designed decor and a laid-back playlist that veers from traditional restaurant tropes. Service is friendly and fast, though some dishes lean heavily on sweetness. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or dining in, Maneki Comptoir Asiat’ is a go-to for quick comfort food that doesn’t skimp on style. Just don’t forget: it’s as much about the vibe as the bite.
