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 .
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.

Mon Nan est mon restaurant chinois préféré à Montréal. Ce n'est pas un endroit luxueux, mais il est très propre & accueillant, parfait pour toutes sortes d'occasions. Tout y est délicieux & je ne peux pas vraiment recommander un plat en particulier tant tout est bon. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont raisonnables. Le personnel est gentil & attentif & le propriétaire si c'est bien lui est adorable, attentionné & très amical.
Il y a même une salle privée où l'on peut être en toute intimité si l'on est un petit groupe d'environ 10 personnes. Ça vaut vraiment le détour. C'est toujours un plaisir pour moi de faire découvrir cet endroit à mes amis.
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.
One of my go-to places for sure! I love everything they have on their menu & I always ask the person taking our order what they recommend. One of the best places so far. Even when you order food to go it's good, but not as good as it is in the restaurant.
Service is really good & orders come out fast :)
Make sure you order the shrimp on toast (precise that it's the one flat open on top of the toast). & always listen to their recommendations!!
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.
Vraiment bon service... notre hôtesse est formidable .. on l'adorrrre 🥰 Nourriture excellente ..
On recommande fortement
En plus, le restaurant ouvre le samedi & dimanche midi maintenant 🤩🤩🤩

Beau restaurant à la salle bien éclairée, vaste & qui respire. La nourriture est délicieuse, fraîche & les portions sont généreuses. Le choix des plats au menu est vaste, permettant de satisfaire tout le monde. Le service est rapide & le personnel est courtois. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent! Hautement recommandé!
We go every year on the first. It's always good. The food is generous & tasty. The softshell crab is a must have! The service is also good. Big recommend for me especially if you go with a couple of people to share dishes.
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.

The food was delicious. Staff was super nice & accommodating to our children & had great food recommendations for us. Definitely recommend if you are in the area & overwhelmed by all the choice
By far the best Chinese restaurant in town! Not only the food is delicious, but the owners are awesome & accommodating, the cooking is authentic & high quality. Definitely recommend this place as it is my go to🙌🏼✌🏼
I highly recommend Restaurant Mon Nan to anyone who enjoys delicious Asian food at a reasonable price! They did not hesitate to accommodate a last-minute reservation request for our group of 19, & made sure we were all well taken care of. The restaurant's dining area features larger round tables with a central lazy-Susan to facilitate conversation & meal-sharing. Betty was our server, & she handled our large, diverse group with grace & professionalism. If you are ever in the area, please check this place out - you will not be disappointed!
Après avoir essayé plusieurs restos dans le quartier chinois, ma famille & moi nous retournons toujours au Mon Nan! La bouffe est très bonne & le service aussi. Après tant d'années nous sommes toujours aussi satisfaits lorsque nous allons. Très recommandé. :)
Always a pleasure here at Mon Nan, the food is always on point. Lovely service from Betty - she is so pleasant! She made our experience a pleasant one. Highly recommend Mon Nan.
