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.
Reviews describe Mon Nan as a go to spot for hearty, traditional Chinese fare with large portions and generally friendly service. Dishes such as General Tao chicken, Shanghai noodles, salt and pepper shrimp, ginger lobster, and roasted duck are repeatedly praised for flavor and value, with many noting the option to share multiple dishes and take leftovers home. The atmosphere is often described as welcoming and lively, good for family meals and celebrations, and the menu is viewed as broad enough to satisfy varied tastes. A few visits mention inconsistent service, with moments that feel hurried or impersonal, and some concerns about price versus portion size or timing when dishes arrive at different times. There are occasional remarks about decor updates, cleanliness, and occasional service hiccups, though many reviews highlight friendly staff and quick service. Overall Mon Nan remains a beloved staple for classic Cantonese and Chinese comfort food in Chinatown, with strong favorites that keep regulars returning, while experiences can vary by visit.
The service lady was soooooo rude, threw the bills at my friend & it was enough to say i'd never go back. Quality of food has changed a lot & won't recommand. Sorry but it was the worst experience in a chinese restaurant. 0/10
This is a very very nice chinese restaurant. The food taste really really good, the right amount of everything. The only part i didn't like, i place the order in 1 but it came in 3, 5-10 minutes apart. The atmosphere was good overall. I do recommend & i would absolutely go back.

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!
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!
A typical Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Food was authentic & comforting. We ordered a soup, steamed oysters & four dishes. But one dish was forgotten, only arrived after several reminders & we had already finished our meal. When asked for a container to take the forgotten dish home, the waiter pointing me to a shelf to self-serve.
By far the best Chinese restaurant of Montreal! The food is tasty & well proportioned. The chow mein is heaven as well as the fried salt & pepper shrimp. The general Tao is sweet but not very crunchy. This time we ordered but from recent past experiences the place is clean & the staff is efficient & quick to serve your meal. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good spot for Chinese cuisine.

I have gone to that restaurant & ordered from them for the past 15 years, best Chinese restaurant hands down, so many choices, but my favourites are the salt &
Pepper shrimps, the ginger lobster, & the shrimp toasts ! Never disappointed!!
Honestly it's my favorite Chinese resto in Montreal. Haven't had a bad dish. Particular favorites are the scallop fried rice, salt & pepper pork chops, Cantonese chow mein, & the razor clams when in season
We are from out of town. Restaurant Mon Nan was great! Fantastic Chinese food. Authentic. They provide hot tea entire meal which is a nice touch. Rotating table for family style. Affordable for large quantities of food.
