Hands down the best Asian food in montreal. General tzo chicken is the best in the city.

The general tao chicken was only batter & no chicken. Really disappointed. Told the waitress…then the manager said he'll check for the next batch. Made us pay full price. Horrible. This was my fav place…too bad.

Delicious Chinese food, over 200 varieties with decent pricing & portions. They're known for the pekin duck combo, general tao chicken & salt & pepper shrimp or squid. I ate there for many years & the staff is very friendly. They have alcohol & other seafood such as lobsters, oysters & scallops (seasonal). It accommodates children & adults around a big table up to 11 to 13 people with the classic spinning top to allow you to pick the topping & dish that you like. This is a family & friends restaurant & perfect for people who like to share a variety of foods from sweet, sour, salty or spicy!

Went here with my family for the first time last night & everyone loved it. Staff were super nice & the food was excellent. The orange chicken in particular was to die for. We will definitely be back!

The food is great & the prices are reasonable. Our favorites are the general Tao chicken & Singapore noodles. They are simply great, in my humble opinion the best in the island.

The Good: - Authentic delicious Chinese menu - The salt & pepper shrimps are an absolute must. Shrimps were fried to the right temperature & they're perfectly crispy - The vegetarian spring rolls were super delicious & has the right thickness with a nice crispness to them with a very balanced filling The Not So Good: - General tao was dunked in super thick super sweet sauce & the chicken was over fried -

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.

Chicken was good when we got it but gave my kid diarrhea when she ate the leftovers the second day.
