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.
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.
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 love monan im addicted to their salt & pepper shrimp its one of my go to's I always come back for it. Their tom yum soup is amazing & so is their ginger lobster. I just tried their fried dumplings & also enjoyed them. Shout out to the owner Joe, such a cool guy! I recommend!
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.
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
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.

Came here specifically for the Peking duck. Paid extra to have it with the fried noodles & it was worth it. We were a group of four women & one child - in addition to our three course peking, we also ordered fried lobster, water spinach greens & saltfish fried rice. We left no crumbs. Will come again next time I'm in town.
We stop by at Mon Nan & had a very quick supper. We ordered wonton soup, salt & pepper porkchops, friedrice & coke. I was so full as i ate more of the pork & the rice is heavy as it is too oily. It wasn't that good, but not bad either. Probably it also depends on the food that is being ordered. Anyways we took the leftover food & gave it away.
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+++

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 !!
