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.
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 .
This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. It used to be open after-hours, unfortunately that's no longer the case but boy oh boy do we have incredible memories of ending our some epuc eveningd there in great company. Must try the: Salt 🧂 pepper🌶? shrimp🍤🦐 insanely good!

15 years of eating at mon nan & counting. A montreal classic with the best chinese food, their salt & pepper chicken is the BEST chicken I've ever had.
If you're headed out for chinese food, mon nan is a must stop!
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!!
