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.
Overall, Mon Nan is seen as a reliable and often excellent Chinese spot in Montreal with generous portions, tasty dishes, and a warm, efficient service that many guests praise; favorites include the General Tao chicken, Shanghai noodles, and Peking duck, and the menu is noted for its variety that appeals to meat lovers and vegans alike, with good value for the price despite some comments that certain items are pricey or portions could be larger; while the atmosphere is generally described as lively and friendly, some visits report slow service, occasional misordered dishes or billing issues, and a few criticisms about oiliness or inconsistency, but the consensus remains that Mon Nan is a go to place for a crowd or family or friends sharing a broad range of dishes and is likely to bring guests back.
Cuisine plutôt bonne mais rien d'extraordinaire non plus. Selon moi le vrai problème vient surtout du service ou la personne n'a pas été très agréable & en plus au moment de payer on demande à split l'addition en 5 & plutôt que de faire payer à chacun ce qu'il avait mangé ils ont simplement prix le total & diviser en 5.
Bref un peu déçu au vu des notes.
Disappointed- this place was recommended by a staff member at our hotel. The Tao Chicken was so good 10/10, the chicken fried rice 9/10, the dumplings 5/10, beef broccoli 4/10. Now the service is what killed it for us. Everything was ok in the beginning, there were plenty of seats & the food came out quickly, but this is where it started going down hill. Seems they were giving us food from a different table. We kept the fried rice but in place canceled the chicken in bean sauce. Then we waited & had to request another soda like 5 times. Then when the bill came the lady automatically added the tip on the credit card reader (make sure to compare the price on the paper ticket with what's on the reader). Anyway, we were actually going to pay cash. Total was $115 after taxes & my husband gave $140 to get change back to tip & they never brought change. He had to go ask for the change. Seemed deceiving & our desire to go back- it's gone. We won't be back.

What an experience! Really authentic, everything delicious. We ordered fried rice, orange chicken & some shrimps & veggies. The portions are good & the service really excellent.
15 years of eating at mon nan & counting. A montreal classic with the best chinese food, their salt & pepper chicken is the BEST chicken I've ever had.
If you're headed out for chinese food, mon nan is a must stop!

She was kind & gave perfect service!

Mon Nan est mon restaurant chinois préféré à Montréal. Ce n'est pas un endroit luxueux, mais il est très propre & accueillant, parfait pour toutes sortes d'occasions. Tout y est délicieux & je ne peux pas vraiment recommander un plat en particulier tant tout est bon. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont raisonnables. Le personnel est gentil & attentif & le propriétaire si c'est bien lui est adorable, attentionné & très amical.
Il y a même une salle privée où l'on peut être en toute intimité si l'on est un petit groupe d'environ 10 personnes. Ça vaut vraiment le détour. C'est toujours un plaisir pour moi de faire découvrir cet endroit à mes amis.
Honestly they're so many things to say, I saw the reviews thinking it would be amazing since we were visiting & wanted something good. Unfortunately, it was completely something else…..
Spent 120$ & still have regrets. It felt like they just wanted to give something so it's complete. The meat was duck & chicken cold - the beef general tao was worse, it didn't have any beef & you could feel it while eating it- the fried rice & dumpling were bland. Honestly, you better go to a buffet for better food.
I had to wait for them to service me because they taught I was'the uber eats guy'. & they don't care about you nor treat you well- you're just another sale. Don't let the images fool you.
Ordered the general tao chicken for take out, it's a little more pricey than most places but definitely worth it, big chunks of meat & great portion size. Was delicious & will be ordering again
Nous avons reçu un service extraordinaire; attentionné, efficace & personnalisé. Notre serveuse était non seulement professionnelle, mais aussi très drôle & sociable!

Si vous aimez une nourriture fade, un service indifférent & une atmosphère de cafétéria, ce restaurant est pour vous !
Les trois plats que nous avons commandés n'avaient aucune saveur & le canard croustillant avait des relents du réchauffé.
Nous n'y retournerons jamais.
The service lady was soooooo rude, threw the bills at my friend & it was enough to say i'd never go back. Quality of food has changed a lot & won't recommand. Sorry but it was the worst experience in a chinese restaurant. 0/10
My friend & I went for dinner & we ordered the general tao chicken, small portion of rice, & the beef in black bean sauce & rice noodles. The food was really good & the portions were big, worth the price. The general Tao sauce was delicious. Beef well cooked. We stuffed ourselves, the food could have easily made nice sized meals for 3 people.
