Keung Kee is located on de la Gauchetière, in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown. As one of the most authentic restaurants, Keung Kee serves excellent Chinese and Cantonese cuisine, giving the impression that the plats came straight from a kitchen in China! It will be the staff's pleasure to serve you in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Be assured that friends and family will spend an unforgettable evening!
Keung Kee is seen as an institution for Cantonese cuisine in Chinatown, delivering authentic flavors with generous portions and many dishes that come out fast and hot, especially seafood and beef chow fun, making it a reliable and affordable choice in Montreal; the experience is a mix of praise for tasty, well prepared food and occasional complaints about service, with comments ranging from friendly and efficient to rude or impersonal, and a few notes that some dishes can be salty or the dining room is not fancy, though the lively atmosphere and consistent value keep many returning.
What an amazing meal this was!! We got the smallest combo there was which included a soup, steamed salted chicken, stir fry beef with bok choy, steamed fish, sweet & sour pork, & white rice. My favourite was the steamed salted chicken - really brought me home for a moment.
All this we got for an incredible value of around $70, though if you want to pay with cash you have to let the server know beforehand. We learnt it the hard way when we asked at the register post meal.
In hindsight, we probably should not have gotten this combo as a party of two as the portion sizes are very large & we definitely struggled to finish everything. As a party of two, definitely just order à la carte as it will be easier on the wallet as well.
Favourite thing is that they serve complimentary taro sago dessert to end the dinner!! Overall a wonderful meal & is definitely going to be one I think about once in a while.
Delicious & authentic Cantonese food served here. I have been back to this restaurant every time i visit Chinatown in Montreal for the last 15 years. They serve generous portions & the food has never disappointed me. Love the beef chow fun, seafood chow mein (Hong Kong style), & the snow pea vegetables. Peeking duck is also excellent.

Really good Cantonese food. Get 185 beef stew in hot pot! It comes with bok choy. It's beef brisket in a rich beefy sauce.
I asked about allergens in Chinese & the server sort of indicated non-verbally none of the dishes I ordered contained peanuts.
However, I recommend you be extra cautious here if you have allergies. The dishes I ordered are ones I am familiar with so I didn't expect there to be peanuts anyway & asked as an extra precaution.
Servers gave us ample time to go over the menu & when I was ready I just made eye contact & they came over. I sat close to the cash.
I showed the server images of photos of the food I wanted & he understood. Bill was very reasonable & food came fast! They kindly packaged my food for me to go home & I went up to the cash to pay by visa. :)
42. Scallop ($10 per scallop with vermicelli) - tasty! I don't think there is butter but it's delicious. The vermicelli is so garlicky but light. Tender scallops.🤤
166. Green beans - ok…I've had better
185. Beef stew in hit pot (Ngau lam Bo)- ❤? absolutely delicious. A few bits of melted, almost jello-like beef tendon. Sits on a bed of bok choy. I will return just for this dish.
267. seafood congee - one size, big bowl. gingery, contains squid, shrimp.
262. small rice - heaping bowl
Our group of trio had the 4 person dinner with came with a plate of chicken, beef & veggie, deep fried fish, & sweet & sour pork. A big bowl of soup & rice were also included, but alas, no red bean soup for dessert. Excellent value & good tasting Cantonese style food for less than $70!
They have the best fried rice I've ever had. Their other dishes such as general tao chicken, stuffed tofu or orange beef are also good, but the seafood fried rice is truly the star.
However, they use disposable plastic table cloth, which produces a lot of plastic waste.
Keung Kee is an institution. Decades ago this place was know as the best restaurant in Montreal's Chinatown & imo it still is. I've honestly have never had a bad dish here; taste & flavours have always been on point.
I recommend their signature mushroom rolls, razor clams, clams with vermicelli, eggplant, beef hotplate & stir fried noodles for all kinds.

??! 🥢🦀🐟🦞🦐🍤Been coming here for 30 years. Still the best Cantonese seafood in town. Order the lobster, the crab, the oysters. &, get the orange beef for your friends!
This is the best, truly authentic Cantonese food experience I have found in Montreal. I had the Beef & Tofu Hot Pot (Ngau Lam Tofu Bo?) & it was perfect, rich sauce, lots of tender nuggets of beef & tofu, & heaps of gai-lan, ginger & onions. The service & atmosphere is exactly the vibe I expected from a traditional Chinese eatery where the food speaks for itself. I will be back again, & again, with friends. I can't wait!
Phenomenal noodles & beef, beef & enoki, & quite good eggplants. The rise is steamed to perfection, nice texture & stickyness, not too sticky not too stiff, not too wet, not too dry. Goldilocks steamed rice 🍚

Really authentic Cantonese style Chinese! A local Chinese who works as a tour guide recommended place to us. Mostly Asian guests in restaurant. We enjoyed food so much we ate dinner here 2 nights in a row. No frills, basic decor, you're here for the great food at reasonable prices. Salt & Pepper crispy pork chop. Sizzling Beef rolled around Enoki Mushroom. Jellyfish as a cold appetizer. Scallops with Choi Sum. Grouper with pork & tofu (fish does have bones) House bone broth was complimentary. You need to go upstairs to reach this restaurant. After 6pm the place was full & people were waiting. We arrived at 530, no wait. Hard to find parking in Chinatown. Our hotel was in Downtown Montreal. We used Uber about $12 CAD one way. Car can't pull up to restaurant (pedestrian walkway). Restaurant is only 2 minutes walk from where Uber dropped us off. Restaurant on right, don't forget it's the one upstairs.
It's definitely an interesting restaurant, the food is good & on par with the speed of service ! The fact that the restaurant is opened late at night is a life saver for anyone craving Chinese after a party ! I gotta say, we had the beef orange & the general Tao & both sauce felt too similar, next time i will take something different in terms of meat ! Their noodles / enoki mushroom rolls were really good too
We ordered a sesame beef plate & it's nothing like a beef plate but more like a fried orange chickens better with barely any beef inside but I feel like it's not their specialty because people had better looking plate than us like vegetables /rice/seafood so just avoid ordering beef.
