Mon Nan is widely regarded as a staple in Montreal Chinatown, frequently praised for its extensive menu of authentic, flavorful dishes such as salt and pepper shrimp, General Tao chicken, and Peking duck. While many patrons appreciate the generous portion sizes, efficient service, and welcoming atmosphere perfect for groups, others note that the dining experience can be inconsistent.

Mon Nan is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant! The service is consistently amazing-staff are always friendly, attentive, & make you feel right at home. The food is simply outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection. Whether you're craving classic favorites or something new, Mon Nan never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience! Don't forget to try their salt & pepper shrimps 😊
The place was nice & lit up & the service was okay, but we came towards the time it was closing so the waiters were probably tired & ready to go home. The food was really good & we were very satisfied. Though one thing that was a bit off was that when I ordered the wonton soup, the soup was good but the wonton tasted like soggy dough, but I totally recommend the shrimp dumplings! Overall everything was excellent & I would 100% recommend the place! ^^
What can I say, a lot of people came here to have dinner, it is clear that the restaurant is popular, because as I understand it, it is very old, but the cuisine is very, very standard, like in all Chinese restaurants. Nothing special The only thing I liked was shrimp in salt & pepper, unfortunately. service: when we finished eating we were repeatedly made to understand that it was time for us to leave so that we could make room, naturally, I felt uncomfortable, I give three stars & I'm unlikely to come again🤷🏻♂️

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+++
Simply a crowd pleaser & always hit the spot. Been going to Mon Nan for years to get my fix for Chinese food & it never disappoints. The place is clean & the food is great. The sweet & sour chicken is good, the salt & pepper shrimp is my utmost favorite & their lo mein is spot on. I also recommend the orange beef & the sesame beef, they are slightly on the sweeter side, but a must try nevertheless. Also the corn & chicken soup is a like a warm hug on a cold day.
All time favourite Chinese restaurant I have been going to for years! They used to be open until 5 am & was the best spot after the club! The ginger lobster, Cantonese chow mein & salt & pepper shrimp are my favs! Literally everything is good on the menu depending what you're craving that day. 100% recommended
If you want to try authentic Chinese food, visit Mon Nan in MTL Chinatown. It's a hidden gem. We ordered 6 different dishes: shrimp salad noodles 🍜, shrimp momo, Tao ming noodles, & others. Portion sizes are worth the price, & food is delicious. I will definitely recommend it to others.🙂
