Review Summary

Kan Bei is described as an authentic Sichuan spot with bold, spicy and well-balanced flavors, generous portions, and quick, reasonably priced meals, with dishes like mapo tofu, boiled fish in chili oil, twice cooked pork, dan dan noodles, and garlic fried ribs frequently praised. Service is commonly noted as friendly and efficient, though a sparse, cold-feeling dining room and occasional kitchen noise appear in some visits. A few items are tagged as not quite cohesive, such as mapo tofu being a touch oily or some dishes tasting bland or overly sweet, but the overall quality, authenticity, and flavor are celebrated as among the best Chinese options in Montreal. The new Peel location is appreciated for its space and atmosphere, while memories of the old Clark Street site are fondly remembered. Overall, Kan Bei is seen as a reliable, flavorful choice with generous portions, good value, and frequent recommendations to return.

Used to live in Chongqing & have been craving proper Sichuan food since there's a serious lack of good Chinese food in Québec City. I got the fish soup, extra spicy & green beans with white rice, 100% satisfied.

Kanbei restaurant is absolutely authentic! The flavors are bold, spicy, & well-balanced-not overly greasy. The dishes are generously portioned & served quickly. The mapo tofu, boiled fish in chili oil, & twice-cooked pork were especially delicious. Friendly service & reasonable prices. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Sichuan cuisine!

Very bad experience. I ordered one item but was given something else, & the staff responded rudely when I questioned it. Food was poor & overpriced. They demanded a tip, refused payment without it, & made racist comments. Completely unacceptable behavior.

The food quality was poor & the prices are high. What made it worse was the staff demanding a tip despite providing no proper service & refusing to accept payment without one. They also made racist remarks, saying'in this country you need to tip-if not, go eat in your country.' A clear display of racist attitude & completely unacceptable behavior. Would not recommend this place at all.

I ordered one item but was served something completely different. When I questioned it, the staff responded very rudely, saying'this is what it is.'

Poor food quality, bad service, rude staff, & overpriced.

On top of that, they demanded a tip & wouldn't accept payment without one. Overall, a terrible experience.

Worst food & very poor quality. The staff attitude was disappointing, & the prices are expensive for what they offer. Overall, not a good experience & wouldn't recommend.

A darn good place to get a good sichuanese bite near the hotels & place du canada. Theor bar lamps have an epic design choice of money bags. The mapo tofu was a bit too oily but the actual tofu was silky & melted in my mouth. The dan dan noodles were also pretty nice too) though they just need a little extra salt). Also, they have an epic neon sign which is cool.

I'm no expert on the Canadian version of Chinese food so take that into account. The place is sparse & cold feeling. Cheap tables. You basically hear everything going on in the kitchen. Food was pretty bland & overly sweet for both of our meals. Lunch special was a decent price. Food was served very haphazardly. One soup. Then eventually another soup. Then one entree. Then a long wait. Then the second entree. Not very conducive to a nice lunch outing. Just alright. Nothing more.
