Located in Montreal's Chinatown, Mon Nan Village a discrete restaurant that's easy to miss unless you know where to look.

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.

Dishes such as General Tao chicken, Shanghai noodles, salt and pepper shrimp, ginger lobster, and roasted duck are repeatedly praised for flavor and value, with many noting the option to share multiple dishes and take leftovers home. 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. There are occasional remarks about decor updates, cleanliness, and occasional service hiccups, though many reviews highlight friendly staff and quick service. 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 service is efficient. They have it down to a science. Each table has a pitcher of cold ice water that is always filled & a teapot of tea that that is ready. The food comes out fast & the servers are attentive.
The food was okay. I wasn't wowed by anything but it was fine. I do think that it is overpriced for what it is but that's the case with most things nowadays.
I think this restaurant is best for groups where each person orders a dish & everyone shares. It is more expensive for a single person or a couple.
Lovely restaurant & great food & service. Huge portions, tasty food & it was fast, tea & water provided for the table. We came in & there was a large party young teenagers (about 30) eating as part of some kind of school outing. Despite this they were super fast with everything. 5 out of 5 stars no drama

Malgré des plats très copieux & savoureux, le service était inexistant. Aucun sourire, manque de considération, pas de thé d'accueil, pas de carafe d'eau remplie régulièrement, on a dû faire plusieurs signes pour avoir menu, eau, couverts. Un manque de respect & considération vraiment marqué, signe du doigt pour enlever des choses sur notre table pour servir, pas de svp ou merci, de mots & des erreurs dans les factures. Nous avons gentillement expliqué tout cela aux serveurs & gérants lorsqu'ils nous ont demandé pourquoi nous ne mettions pas de tip. Ils n'ont pas daigné se remettre en question une seule seconde en disant qu'on nous avait quand même servis à table (un peu le comble & le minimum pour un restaurant?). On avait clairement l'impression de les déranger. C'est la 1ere fois en 3 ans que Québec que je ne mets aucun tips… Dommage car les plats sont vraiment bons !
Excellent resto, je vais y retourner il y a tellement de mets que j'aimerais goûter, le goût était là & les cuissons étaient tous parfaite. Nous avons choisi le poulet sel & poivre, le poulet BBQ, le chow mein au cari jaune & le boeuf avec Brocolis chinois, les 4 plats étaient exquis.

Food is still okay & i'm used to service not being top notch in these types of restaurants. Been coming here since i'm youn i am now 38 ans never have you guys treated me like shit. This was the case yesterday. On my mothers birthday that little waitres lady with short hair disrespected me & my family. Prices are up & portions down. Food still okay but being treated like that by a waiter has never happened to me. Step your game up monan cause you lost a lifetime client today.
Prices have gone through the roof !!!! For regular cantonese cuisine . Taste is basic .waiters pressure you to order & for those reasons ,we will not return
In my book, you can't go wrong with this restaurant. Especially when you had a long day & just want something quick yet comforting, or maybe even for a family/friend gathering, it just hits the spot everytime for me🤷🏻?♀?
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!
