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.
We had a gathering dinner at Keung Kee, the seafood was fresh, tasted great, & the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine, this is a great choice.
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
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.

??! 🥢🦀🐟🦞🦐🍤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!
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!
It seems that a lot of people are mistakenly reviewing Keung Kee as Restaurant Ethan. You can see for yourselves the difference in the photos. Ethan has wood tables & dimsum & is at the first floor. Keung Kee is on the second floor with white plastic table cloths. Keung Kee has the best Cantonese seafood in Montreal.

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.
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.
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.
