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

We go every year on the first. It's always good. The food is generous & tasty. The softshell crab is a must have! The service is also good. Big recommend for me especially if you go with a couple of people to share dishes.
Honestly it's my favorite Chinese resto in Montreal. Haven't had a bad dish. Particular favorites are the scallop fried rice, salt & pepper pork chops, Cantonese chow mein, & the razor clams when in season
We are from out of town. Restaurant Mon Nan was great! Fantastic Chinese food. Authentic. They provide hot tea entire meal which is a nice touch. Rotating table for family style. Affordable for large quantities of food.

You'll wait on an on night, & the cost of things has picked up as of late, but this is probably the best Asian food in Montreal. I've been coming here for years & it never disappoints.
We LOVE this restaurant! The food, amazing ! The staff, great! If you're lucky enough to be served by Betty & Vincent, you will feel like you're home with family ❤️
The food was delicious & the service was fast. They want you in & out fast. If you are looking for a place to seat & hang out for a while this is not it.
In October, we decided to try restaurant Mon Nan. We absolutely love it! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was delightful, & the staff was outstanding. They were incredibly attentive & took extra care as soon as I mentioned my food allergy. I will definitely be returning!
I recently went here for my birthday & I won't lie; it was mostly because it was one of few options open late after a show. However, what we found was excellent Chinese Canadian fare, (as salty, sweet, sticky & satisfying as you like; don't expect too fancy here, this is comforting & down to earth). In particular; the salt & pepper squid & Mapo tofu were absolutely to die for. More so than this, our waitress was an absolute gem: & this was the truly the best part of our experience. The food was great but the service was incredible in that she was friendly, hilarious & helpful. Would go back to this 30+ year old Chinatown institution in a heartbeat!
Best Chinese food I've had in Montréal hands down. Authentic flavors made fresh! You know the place is good when is packed! Try the Soft Shell Crab, you won't regret it!
Best salt & pepper calamari! We were a group of 4 people & went early, right around opening time so the service was excellent & friendly. It's best enjoyed as a group since you can order multiple dishes & share. Every time I go, i dream of coming back, it's that good!
I ordered the general tao & crispy sesame beef - I don't think there was much meat in either of these dishes. It was tasty but it was all breading; not exactly sure what I was eating.
