Located in Montreal's Chinatown, Mon Nan Village a discrete restaurant that's easy to miss unless you know where to look. The restaurant offers some of the best pan-fried dumplings, Peking duck and General Tao chicken in town. The dumplings are just a small part of an extensive Dim Sum selection that can be ordered from the daytime menu. Mon-Nan's menu also includes a selection of seafood specials and interesting variations on soft-shell crab. Restaurant Mon Nan also serves Moo Shoo pork, Hot Pots and varied chicken dishes.
Overall, Mon Nan is seen as a reliable and often excellent Chinese spot in Montreal with generous portions, tasty dishes, and a warm, efficient service that many guests praise; favorites include the General Tao chicken, Shanghai noodles, and Peking duck, and the menu is noted for its variety that appeals to meat lovers and vegans alike, with good value for the price despite some comments that certain items are pricey or portions could be larger; while the atmosphere is generally described as lively and friendly, some visits report slow service, occasional misordered dishes or billing issues, and a few criticisms about oiliness or inconsistency, but the consensus remains that Mon Nan is a go to place for a crowd or family or friends sharing a broad range of dishes and is likely to bring guests back.
The food was AMAZING, & the prices were very reasonable. I'm honestly surprised there aren't long lineups! The clams, sesame beef, & eggplant tofu pot were all delicious. I wish I had taken more photos of the other dishes we ordered, but everything looked so good that we immediately started eating.
Had delivery from here & was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Everything was super greasy… crispy Mongolian beef was not crispy & tasted just like the general Tso chicken.
I would highly not recommend this place.
Overly priced for what you get as well .

Disappointed- this place was recommended by a staff member at our hotel. The Tao Chicken was so good 10/10, the chicken fried rice 9/10, the dumplings 5/10, beef broccoli 4/10. Now the service is what killed it for us. Everything was ok in the beginning, there were plenty of seats & the food came out quickly, but this is where it started going down hill. Seems they were giving us food from a different table. We kept the fried rice but in place canceled the chicken in bean sauce. Then we waited & had to request another soda like 5 times. Then when the bill came the lady automatically added the tip on the credit card reader (make sure to compare the price on the paper ticket with what's on the reader). Anyway, we were actually going to pay cash. Total was $115 after taxes & my husband gave $140 to get change back to tip & they never brought change. He had to go ask for the change. Seemed deceiving & our desire to go back- it's gone. We won't be back.
Honestly they're so many things to say, I saw the reviews thinking it would be amazing since we were visiting & wanted something good. Unfortunately, it was completely something else…..
Spent 120$ & still have regrets. It felt like they just wanted to give something so it's complete. The meat was duck & chicken cold - the beef general tao was worse, it didn't have any beef & you could feel it while eating it- the fried rice & dumpling were bland. Honestly, you better go to a buffet for better food.
I had to wait for them to service me because they taught I was'the uber eats guy'. & they don't care about you nor treat you well- you're just another sale. Don't let the images fool you.
My friend & I went for dinner & we ordered the general tao chicken, small portion of rice, & the beef in black bean sauce & rice noodles. The food was really good & the portions were big, worth the price. The general Tao sauce was delicious. Beef well cooked. We stuffed ourselves, the food could have easily made nice sized meals for 3 people.
Love this place. Been here twice ..first time got the sesame beef with chicken fried rice; delicious. Second time went with my bf & we had peanut butter pork dumplings & the spicy honey beef which were good, & we got the short beef ribs which we didn't like bc of the lack of meat it had too much fat.
This is probably one of the worst Chinese food experiences I've ever had. The service is lousy & the food isn't much better. The server was super pushy & wanted us to order everything at once - but they bring the food out one or two things at a time over the course of 45 minutes - for a table of 6 people. The server never checks in to see how things are going & has to be flagged down. Some main courses came out prior to all of the appetizers coming out. The rice dishes were cold long before my beef with Chinese broccoli was finally cancelled because it never came. The servers are constantly trying to take dishes away too before you're even done with them. I would absolutely not recommend anyone ever dine here. The tablecloths have tears & holes in them. They take unused plates & bowls from the table that guests have touched & just place them back in the stack of clean dishes in the middle of the restaurant. It was not even a little busy in the restaurant for the holiday. They had plenty of staff. Such a disappointing NYE experience at 5:15pm. The only good thing was that they seated us before our 6pm reservation.

Great chinese restaurant in the heart of Montreal's chinatown. There are lots of tables & it's air conditioned. We had crispy beef, eggplant & a fried rice. They were all delicious but also very oily!
I ordered the general tao & crispy sesame beef - I don't think there was much meat in either of these dishes. It was tasty but it was all breading; not exactly sure what I was eating.
Wow what a gem this place is. First off, the server Betty was so welcoming & funny. Then the canto food was amazing. Not enough people know about this place. Food was soooo fast, but so fresh too. We ate family style which is the best to eat at a restaurant. We ordered hot & sour soup, Mongolian beef, sweet & sour pork, shrimp fried rice, soup dumplings & black bean beef. Very reasonably priced! Shared between 6 people & worked out to be 22.50$ a person including tip! All were delicious. The fried rice had a beautiful smokiness from the wok. But the star of the show was the Mongolian beef. Perfectly crispy with the perfect about of sauce. Highly recommend & we will definitely be back when we visit Montreal again.

It's okay. It took 30 minutes for my main to arrive. Portions are huge. Plenty of protein & vegetables. The fries stiff noodles & sauce & shumai were tasty. The brisket was slightly funny tasting, & gave my jaws a workout. Toughest beef brisket I've ever eaten.
My new go-to place for Chinese. Fortunate that I can get it on Uber Eats whenever we need. Shrimp toast, shrimp peanut dumplings, Cantonese chow mein, spare ribs, general tao chicken, pineapple chicken, Mongolian beef, vegetable fried rice, egg rolls, salt & pepper shrimp - all classics. A1+++
Simply a crowd pleaser & always hit the spot. Been going to Mon Nan for years to get my fix for Chinese food & it never disappoints. The place is clean & the food is great. The sweet & sour chicken is good, the salt & pepper shrimp is my utmost favorite & their lo mein is spot on. I also recommend the orange beef & the sesame beef, they are slightly on the sweeter side, but a must try nevertheless. Also the corn & chicken soup is a like a warm hug on a cold day.
I am so picky when it comes to anything consider as asian food.
Everytime I come here I enjoy my self & the food.
I've had salt & pepper chicken that was perfectly fried, the chicken chow mein is my favourite i've also had the ginger lobster, beef broccoli, chicken fried rice, egg rolls everything was good so far !!
It's not a very nice place but it's a place with good food. Bathroom's are a disaster waiter's are mostly friendly . If you go on a weekend night place will most likely be packed especially after club hours !!
