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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
