Welcome to Chef Tang, the premier Chinese restaurant in Verdun, Montreal. Discover the delicious flavors Chef Tang has to offer through his menu: comforting soups, a variety of dim sums, and delicious chicken, duck, pork, beef, vegetable, and seafood dishes.
Reviews of Chef Tang describe delicious, generously portioned Chinese and Thai takeout with friendly, attentive service and reliable overall flavor. Dishes like general tao and salt and pepper shrimp are often highlighted as standouts, with chow mein also praised and portions noted as large for the price. On the downside, delivery can be slow on busy nights and a few orders arrive with delays or mix ups, including a case where an item was misidentified. There is curiosity about the service charge and transparency about where it goes, with comparisons to other local spots that do not add such a charge. Nevertheless, the experience is viewed as dependable for quick meals and comfort food, and many say they would return for the tasty food, large portions, and friendly staff, even if occasional inconsistencies arise.
*** edit *** Since my original post I have given the restaurant another chance & they have redeemed themselves. Since Ioved back to the area 1 year ago, I've ordered maybe 3 times & I was happy with the quality of the food each time. It seems maybe sometimes there's issues with consistency but overall the portions are large & the food is tasty. Maybe my first time ordering was an off day for them. Since then I've changed my star review from 3 to 4.
**Original review** After reading some positive reviews I decided to order the general tao chicken & some pork & shrimp dumplings. The chicken was ok, I've had better. The dumplings were really not tasty I was not even able to eat them. I'd like to give them another chance & get something from their Thai specialties menu.

Je cherchais un endroit où manger à Verdun & je suis tombé sur ce restaurant. La cuisine était délicieuse & pas trop chère. J'y retournerais encore pour manger!
I had an amazing dining experience at Chef Tang ,largely thanks to our wonderful server (a Chinese lady) She was friendly, attentive, & truly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, & she made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Her warmth & excellent service really made our meal memorable. Highly recommend requesting her if you're dining here!
The waitress was kind & welcoming. She recommended an array of options that were extremely palatable & also offered suggestions for local tourist attractions.
Used to order before but recencently I found beef food has become subpar. The sauté beef I ordered recently was spongy & soggy, not appetizing & taste is passable. General tao was more sour than sweet. Likely won't order again.
Don't get fool by the review , they served you old food that was already fried they just heat up & give you what's left. the sea food selection is super cheap, not even real shrimp & let's not talk about the crab stick lol & they charge you 20$ & everything was dry & hard very disappointing.
