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 a long standing Chinatown Montreal restaurant known for authentic Cantonese cooking, delivering flavorful dishes at very good value with generous portions and fast, hot service. Diners praise a wide menu featuring beef chow fun, razor clams, seafood fried rice, roast duck, General Tao, lobster and crab preparations, congee and a variety of soups, with many noting the food is fresh and well seasoned. The atmosphere is casual and busy, unpretentious and sometimes noisy, with service described as efficient and friendly by some and abrupt or tipping dependent by others. Standout items frequently mentioned include mushroom rolls, chow mein, scallops, beef hotpot and orange beef, while many return for favored staples and the reliable daily soups. While the majority consider the price to quality ratio excellent and the dining experience solid, a minority report inconsistent service or decor, and a few caution about tips or the way staff handle requests.
It's a good old Chinese place with fricken good food, a family oriented pricing scheme, crates of ingredients in the bathroom, & good vibes (fluorescent lighting).
I've been coming to this place for many years & it's still one of my favorite chinese restaurants in the Montreal area. We go rarely because we don't live or work downtown anymore but was happy to see prices are still decent & the quality is still great.

The food is very delicious, fresh, & full of flavor. It is a wonderful spot with a diverse menu that truly offers an authentic Chinese dining experience. I had an enjoyable time & will definitely go back again for sure.
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
Its always a good restaurant! Its been my childhood restaurant & my togo restaurant for any Chinese style meal. Yesterday meal was King Crab cook 2 ways with lobster cook two ways! One word: excellent!
Staff was AMAZING we got back from Quebec city & my friends were craving for Chinese restaurant. Our friend suggested to try this out as it opens super late too. Definitely worth the travel. We got taken care of quickly & food - DELICIOUS I dont remember what we ordered lol cuz of my sisters did it but you can just show the staff. Everything was fabulous & we even had sweet bean dessert at the end Highly recommend & will definitely come back if I have a chance to visit Montreal again
Best Chinese restaurant in Montreal China town. I really love their seafood dishes, so fresh so delicious! They also serve hot daily soup & tea for free. Will come back for sure!
Quality Chinese (Cantonese style) food at reasonable prices. The best Chinese food I have had in Montreal's China town. Try the Won Ton soup & Yang-Chow fried rice.

I haven't eaten here in over a decade since moving to Toronto, but still one of the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal - as is evident by being packed on a Wednesday night. Lots of vegetarian options!
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!
I think I already wrote a review for this restaurant. But here's some warnings & advices for you to get the best experience. I've been often by myself, never felt judged & I ordered for five every time because I wanted it all! What you need to expect: you have to SHARE your meals. Plates will be served as they're ready. That's how most of Chinese restaurants works. Do not order meals that aren't Chinese. I'm thinking pad Thai or general Tao (go in a food court for that). Order whats on the walls. Ask your waiter for recommendations. Be bold & try new things. Be polite to the staff. To me, it's the best restaurant I've visit in Montreal & the bad comments makes me sad to see how people are close minded. That's going to be all.
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.
