Reviews consistently praise Kan Bei for authentic Sichuan flavors, bold heat, generous portions, and quick service, with many calling it the best Chinese restaurant in Montreal and noting freshness and reliability over years. Dishes frequently highlighted include mapo tofu, boiled fish in chili oil, twice cooked pork, spicy cumin lamb, kung pao, and crispy noodles with shrimp, and other favorites such as garlic fried ribs and cabbage, while a few items were described as overly oily, bland, or overly sweet with some texture or salt balance concerns. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere as warm and inviting, though some diners find the space sparse, the lighting chilly, the tables cheap, or the kitchen noise audible. Location notes include proximity to Centre Bell and a newer Peel Street location, with reviewers saying portions and price offer good value even if some find it a bit pricey for the amount. Overall Kan Bei comes across as a reliable, flavorful spot for authentic Chinese cuisine, popular with regulars and groups, delivering strong dishes and consistent quality amid occasional menu inconsistencies.

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.

Kan Bei is a fantastic spot for authentic & flavorful Chinese food! The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, & the taste is absolutely delicious. We tried the crispy noodles with shrimp & vegetables - the shrimp were fresh & juicy, the veggies perfectly cooked, & the sauce tied everything together with amazing flavor & texture.

We also had the Kung Pao-style dish with rice, & it was packed with flavor - tender bites, crunchy peanuts, & just the right balance of sweet & spicy. Every bite felt fresh & satisfying.

The service was friendly & quick, & the atmosphere is warm & inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Definitely one of the best spots in the area for authentic Chinese cuisine.

Food was very good, better quality than several places I've been to. Good service, the general Tau chicken was a great big portion, not just 5 or 6 pieces with a pile of rice & the wonton soup was just what wonton soup should be. Yum! Good service, nice place, affordable.

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.

Small restaurant but lots of space & large tables. Very clean. Service was fast, attentive & friendly, food is cooked to order & served quickly. We had the fried pork spare ribs, general Tsao chicken, baby bok Choy with garlic, shrimp fried rice & shrimp wonton soup. The soup was very nice, with a delicate broth & generous wonton & bok Choy. Both main meat dishes were amazing with lovely seasoning. The garlic bok Choy just went WOW it was that good. The rice was very nice & cooked to perfection.
