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.
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.
What an experience! Really authentic, everything delicious. We ordered fried rice, orange chicken & some shrimps & veggies. The portions are good & the service really excellent.

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.
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 !!
