Service was very friendly & accommodating to guests (unfortunately not always common in Asian restaurants)- I was pleasantly surprised! The staff know their customer demographic is primarily tourists/locals who want an'approachable' Chinese restaurant experience. We are from Vancouver, where Chinese food reigns supreme & we enjoyed the food- we ordered crispy chow mein, beef fried rice, soup dumplings, siu mai & har gow. It was all delicious! It is not the kind of restaurant you enter & see 90% of Asian diners but it is significantly better than most'westernized' Chinese restaurants. Would definitely go back again!
Best Chinese food in Montreal - hands down! It's quite comparable to my hometown (Richmond, BC.. iykyk!) My favourite dishes are: hot & soupsoup, the braised beef brisket chow mein, & salt & pepper squid but honestly, everything there is top notch. What makes Mon Nan even better is the quality service! Betty, Rosa, & the rest of the evening staff are super friendly, welcoming, & have become part of our Sunday night tradition.
Nous avons pris le 3 services de canard & le canard goûtait rien. C'était 55$ avec un extra de 10$ pour des nouilles instantanées. Lorsque nous avons reçu le dernier plat avec les nouilles, elles étaient brulés (calcinées) & le canard ne goûtait rien. En résumé, il n'y avait que la soupe qui était bonne. Le service laisse à désirer aussi. Je ne recommande pas.
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.
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!
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 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! ^^
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.
