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.
Reviews describe Mon Nan as a go to spot for hearty, traditional Chinese fare with large portions and generally friendly service. 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 general tao chicken was only batter & no chicken. Really disappointed. Told the waitress…then the manager said he'll check for the next batch. Made us pay full price. Horrible. This was my fav place…too bad.

Delicious Chinese food, over 200 varieties with decent pricing & portions. They're known for the pekin duck combo, general tao chicken & salt & pepper shrimp or squid. I ate there for many years & the staff is very friendly. They have alcohol & other seafood such as lobsters, oysters & scallops (seasonal). It accommodates children & adults around a big table up to 11 to 13 people with the classic spinning top to allow you to pick the topping & dish that you like. This is a family & friends restaurant & perfect for people who like to share a variety of foods from sweet, sour, salty or spicy!
Everything was great except they still haven't changed the tips to be calculated based on the pre-tax subtotal of a bill rather than the final amount including taxes.
Tous les plats étaient très gras & frits & le goût de la friture semble la seule chose qui reste en bouche. Mais le homard cuit dans l'huile en vaut la peine.
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.
J'ai été visité pendant le nouvel an lunaire 🧧, j'ai adoré le concept du restaurant! La nourriture était super beaucoup de choix. Ils sont super niveaux fruit de mer & canard laqué. Le personnel est formidable.

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!!
