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.
Restaurant chinois typique avec nourriture typique chinoise, & ambiance typique aussi. On ne peut pas faire plus classique que ça dans ce genre. On a commandé boeuf au poivre, calmar frit & poulet Général Tao. Tout était bon & convenable. C'était bon, oui, mais pas particulièrement mémorable ou distinct d'autres restaurants semblables. Service cordial & aimable. Prix raisonnables! Je suis bien satisfait au final! Bon pour un quick fix!

I've been eating here for years. In the past 6 months this restaurant has gone downhill. The food is only fair. The service is horrible. The waiters don't care & are sometimes downright rude. I won't go back
We ordered fried oysters & they were huge & fried to perfection with the Hong Kong style batter, light & crunchy, very delicious. We also had the stuffed shrimp paste 3 ways with tofu, eggplant & peppers in a black bean sauce. The portion of these dishes were quite substantial & we couldn't finish either. The prices were very reasonable given the quality & serving size. We will definitely be back again when we're in the area. Great experience.

I shared Combo H with my friend, & if you don't eat that much, the portion is big enough to feed three people. I personally enjoyed the peanut butter dumplings a lot. The chicken fried rice & stir-fried vegetables were good as well, but the rest of the dishes were just okay. The batter on the General Tao chicken was too thick, & the shrimp had almost no flavor. The wonton soup tasted like it was on the level of frozen food. Overall, considering the price, it's a good spot for saving some money
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.
Dived into this place for lunch as it was busy & torrential rain outside meant didn't want to shop around. Then saw the reviews... Ouch! Dim Sum A for 2 people was good, lots of it, left full. The staff just looked so miserable, like this was the last place on earth they wanted to be, which was a shame. Otherwise, no problems.
La comida china nunca falla. Es sabrosa, abundante y casi siempre económica. Este restaurante TE OBLIGA a dejar propina. Me resulta incómodo, pero no tuve otra opción que darle lo que me pidió.

Food were So freaking good! The guy looked after us is super nice & welcoming, I'm guessing he's the owner or at least a member of the owners family. We will 100% be back!

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.
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!
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.
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!
