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.

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.

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.
The food is great & the prices are reasonable. Our favorites are the general Tao chicken & Singapore noodles. They are simply great, in my humble opinion the best in the island.
Mon Nan, un incontournable dans le quartier chinois de Montréal pour des plats savoureux & généreux. Ils sont également sur Uber eats, mais sont parfois tellement occupé qu'ils suspendent les livraisons. Dans ce cas, il faut téléphoner & ils vous arrangent ça.
La serveuse fait la gueule. La nourriture est sucré de fou, c'est pas général tao, c'est général diabète. Pour finir la serveuse a une calvitie naissante, elle m'a obligé à tiper avec des techniques ancestrales de son pays la belle Chine comme on l'aime.

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 -
Un restaurant cantonais tout à fait excellent. Virtuellement tous les plats que nous avons commandés étaient excellents. Mentions spéciales pour le riz frit aux pétoncles, le canard laqué (commandé d'avance), le poulet à l'orange, le calmar frit, la seiche frite. Il paraît que Joe est le fils du fondateur du restaurant il y a de nombreuses années. En tout cas, son service était impeccable!
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.
Mon repas ( nouille croustillante au boeuf) étais délicieux Mon amie a pris tofu tao prendre note qu'il ne viens avec aucun légume ni riz...il étais trèsbbon cependant. Belle petite place que jai aimée découvri

Très bon service, souriant. Servi rapidement, je recommande la soupe Tom yum, le poulet général tao & le riz frit au poulet. Bien chaud, bien épicé. Délicieux ! Le rapport qualité prix est plutôt bon car les portions sont généreuses.
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
