About

Kan Bei prepares authentic Chinese cuisine with a specific emphasis on the bold and layered profiles characteristic of Sichuan cooking. The kitchen produces generous servings of poached fish that carry a delicate heat, alongside mapo tofu featuring silken textures and deep, savory spices. Fresh sautéed cabbage provides a bright, crisp contrast to the richer, oil-based dishes that define the core menu. Each plate relies on vibrant seasonings to build complex layers of flavor in every bite. The environment remains clean and well-lit to complement the straightforward presentation of the prepared meals. This establishment presents a wide selection of regional specialties designed to satisfy those interested in intense, traditional Chinese flavor profiles.

An excellent meal was served. Fried Tofu & mixed vegetables in a savory sauce. So very delicious. I'm going back next week to savour their General Tao's tofu!!

I really love this place. Best Chinese spot in downtown Montreal. & it's accessible no matter your palate for Chinese. If you're just a General Tao's chicken kind of person- it's good here. If you're looking for some authentic Chinese flavor- you can find that here too. Personally I love the salt & pepper fried shrimp & cumin beef, amazing flavors. Family run & everything made piping hot to order. Best pregame or preconcert secret while everyone else seems to be at La Cage or La Belle & La Boeuf!

Omg thecabbage dish! In all the years I've lived on this earth, this is the most flavourful yet simple way of creating this dish. The garlic fried ribs were awesome too. Light airy & crispy. It was also very flavourful. The noodles lacked a little bit of flavour but I liked the chewy wide noodles a lot. The beef dish lacked a bit of flavour. It smelled great but it wasn't flavourful. The green beans tasted a litttlllee undercooked & compared for the cabbage dish, it was just ok.

Delicious northern Chinese cuisine!

The sautéed cabbage is the best I have ever tasted when dining at a northern chinese restaurant. The salty,sweet,spicy, & sour flavors were perfectly balanced.

We ate at this restaurant three times already & it has been consistently good!

We ordered spicy cold tofu, sautéed cabbage, green beans with pork, beef chow mein with black bean sauce, spicy deep fried chicken.

Highly recommend trying this restaurant. We will be back when we come to Montreal again.

One of the very best Sichuan restaurant! We have been eating there for many years. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to have spicy fried chicken (with bones) & hot pop spicy cabbage with shrimps at the new location.

Best Sichuan restaurant I've tried so far in Montreal. I recommend you try the spicy fried chicken with bone, the lotus roots & the spicy fish.

Came to Montreal on holidays but craving for Chinese food. The Sichuan dishes here lack of Mala flavor (numbing & spicy flavor) but I guess it's adapted to local taste. Although not completed satisfied, it did give some sort of comfort to my cravings. Service here is slow & not excellent. Also they have two types of La Zi Ji ( spicy chili chicken) which I haven't never seen in any restaurants, one with bones & the other without bones. The one without bones is actually not authentic at all, it's just fried chicken with some chills, more catered for westerns. The one with bones? My advice is not to have La Zi Ji with bones as most authentic La Zi Ji dishes don't come with bones.

Kan bei is THE BEST chinese restaurant I've been to in the one year that I've been living in Montreal. we ordered the chicken fried rice (#809) beef with satay sauce (#315) stir fried shrimps, spring roles & shrimp soup. All of them were absolutely delicious. Will definitely visit again. If you're looking for good portions, great prices, & a succulent chinese meal, Kan bei is the right place for you.
