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.
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.

First & last time. The place looks really dirty & the service is really bad. The lady didn't understand what we wanted so she brought us a extra plate that we didn't order. The food looks old not fresh ... we were wondering what we were doing there... food looks fake ... we had to throw almost all the food! Ewww don't recommend at all
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
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.
I was in Montreal for work & got takeout from here after a long day. I got the stuffed shrimp with tofu, green peppers & eggplant with rice & it was delicious. Serving size was great & it lasted a couple meals. I also got the pork & century egg congee for breakfast the next day - also delicious with lots of pork & egg. I'm Cantonese/Toishanese & have been eating these dishes throughout my life - & these were great here. Highly recommend this place!
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
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!!

Not recommended - there are ample other choices nearby. This is our genuine experience if you do want an honest review. First impressions were dreadful; we entered into a full restaurant (which is often a good sign) & headed a few steps to a vacant table by the window but within seconds got shouted at by a female who literally (throwing her arms around) ordered us to the back & shouted the table in the front was for six people. We should have really exited at that point. She was so rude. The three of us were seated at the back, literally squeezed in, adjacent to a table of 12 they had put together. The condition of the restaurant was poor, it's not clean, the floors ripped seats, tables, even the staff - needs a real deep clean - we used plenty of hand sanitiser. They even give you plastic plates to eat from - literally those you get at a children's party - unbelievable. The male staff members who took our order were fine, & the food arrived very quickly, literally minutes. The food itself was ok to disappointing due to it being very salty & greasy. Please avoid at all costs the aubergine dish - the size of the aubergine pieces were ridiculous, we couldn't eat it, you would literally need a knife & fork. The portions of the food are generous, & their pricing is on the cheaper side (which aligns with the lower quality dished to customers). The final interesting bit was the bill. Due to the extremely rude women earlier on, I click on "no" for the tip. The girl at the till then asked if I was therefore going to pay by card & leave the 20% separately. I didn't honestly understand what she meant & the rude women from earlier then came over to explain the tip must be paid as its for the staff. I had endured enough of her & this restaurant by this point & to avoid causing a drama on our first visit to canada i decided it was easier to pay the minimum tip & leave as soon as I could. Note that on paying the tip I didn't receive any thanks at all. There are so many excellent alternatives nearby, do avoid this, unless you want poor service, an unclean environment,children party plates, salty food & being ordered that you must pay a tip, without any thanks at the end.
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.
The perfect "cheap" dumpling for the price. They are not the best, but they are one of the cheapest quick bites that you can go for in China town that's not just a simply pastry. I would recommend for a quick takeout. The sit-down part itself is fine, but I think there are still better places around depending on what you're looking for. The staff was fine but also not overly friendly, but it's fine.
Disappointed & would not recommend. Server spilled hot tea on my wife's phone while she was washing up, food was all served without rice, which wasn't served until we were finished eating. Server was too busy toasting drinks with another table to bother checking on us so water was never refilled. The cook is overworked, he was apparently responsible for cooking & serving all dishes, as well & handling final payment on the table. I didn't leave a tip, he was quite upset & snatched up the fortune cookies that were left on the table & stormed away. Most of the food was pretty good & I would have gladly explained why I didn't tip had I been asked why, instead I felt threatened for not leaving a tip.
One of the best place for authentic Cantonese cuisine. There steamed scallops are to die for. & also there softshell crab!!!! Every single dishes are delicious. Staffs are very friendly. & the taste is very constant. This is why we are the regulars. 😊 I highly recommend this place if you want some authentic Chinese cuisine.
12/2023 update: Went back for their seafood dishes & boy did they meet my expectation! Amazing place for their Cantonese style seafood dish. Everything was amazing delish. From king crab to claims to lamb pot. Had an amazing food coma after my meal. Again, truly recommend to Asian seafood fanatics. ------ Very good Chinese restaurant with seafood goodies. Only downside is how small the place is.
