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.

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 door was opened & we were inhaling cigarette smoke from people who hanged around in front of the restaurant. But the staff listened to our complaints & shut their door eventually.

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.

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.
