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.

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!

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.

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.
