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.
Excellent restaurant cantonais au coeur du Chinatown ! Service rapide, efficace & toujours courtois, même quand il y a beaucoup de monde. Les plats arrivent chauds, bien présentés & pleins de saveurs authentiques. Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité-prix est très bon. Mention spéciale pour le cantonais chowmein. Les portions sont généreuses, les prix raisonnables, & l'ambiance animée ajoute au charme du lieu. Que ce soit pour un repas express ou un souper décontracté entre amis, c'est une valeur sûre que je recommande sans hésiter.
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.

Authentic Cantonese eatery with old school style service, portions & the tastes that I remember as a kid. Restaurant has AC & clean, but nothing fancy. High value & hit the spot. Must eat when strolling through Chinatown!
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.
Amazing food & service. The shangai style noodles were outstanding, i also loved the pork dimsun & the wonton. Everything else was also amazing, the prices are good for the rations, the service was so fast, clean place & very welcoming. would definitely recommend if you are visiting chinatown!!
The prices & the fast service are the strongest points of this restaurant, but also the food that is very fresh & the portions are very generous. A good location for a lunch/dinner in chinatown saving money. Toilets could be more clean & the tip is compulsory (at least 12%). Service polite & fast.
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.
This is my favourite place in Chinatown. Food is great, prices are fantastic. It's always full. Staff are very friendly, & unlike other places, they discourage you from ordering too many plates. (Which I appreciate as my eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach)
I loved Keung Kee, an unadorned walk-up in Chinatown. We were the only Gweilo in the restaurant, guaranteeing authenticity. Don't expect fancy, but Keung Kee had AC, a pleasure in 94 degree weather. My shrimp in lobster sauce, around $17, was out of this world delicious. Singapore noodles was average according to my spouse, but Keung Kee is known for its seafood. Service was professional & pleased with my oohs & aahs. They were appreciative of my cash payment & my 20% tip.

Lowkey, upstairs Chinese restaurant serving as a staple of Montreal's Chinatown. This place has some years behind it. All the details you'd find in your typical North American Chinese restaurant, from the tableware to the menu items. The lunch special is a spectacular deal. I wish they had the red chilli oil but they did have some chilli sauce to offer me. Love the complimentary tea.
An exceptional find for this who know where to look. This authentic Chinese experience is almost hidden from virtually everyone outside of locals in the know within Montreal's Chinatown community, behind an inconspicuous door leading up to the second storey location. While this visit was absolutely worth the three hour drive for us, it's worth noting that people with mobility issues will have no option but to traverse a long & narrow set of stairs. The food, served at the height of freshness, is vibrant & delicious. The presentation stands out from what you might expect from a normal Chinese food restaurant & is an experience in itself. An incredible culinary experience.
