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.

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.

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.

I've known this place since its previous location on Clark street, this new location is very cool & spacious! The food is always a hit when I come here (they have the BEST poached fish in hot chili soup I've ever had). I've come here with groups (7-8) as well as just three people, & we've always been super satisfied. 100% would recommend!

Great food! Ordered the Sweet Sour Soup, 5/5, Dumplings in Peanut Sauce 4/5, Salt & Pepper Calmar 5/5, Singapour Noodles 5/5 & the Chow Fun in Black Bean Sauce 4.5/5. Our fresh from the Wok dishes were piping hot, with the perfect'Wok Hey'! We can see the kitchen while passing & the sound of the fire under the wok was music to my ears...The service is efficient, atmosphere agreable & the final tag very reasonable. We will be back assuredly & will try several other specialties....they looked delicious on other tables! Next time...

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.

The Hot & Sour soup & the Mapo Tofu were beyond delicious. Extremely flavorful. The mapo felt like authentic shanghainese style. The dan dan noodles were also delicious but needed time to soak the sauce up.
