Plâts De Pates Hong Mère is described across reviews as offering authentic northern Chinese cuisine with generous portions and solid value. The service is frequently praised as friendly and efficient, with food often arriving quickly, though a few experiences note slower moments or inconsistent service. Dishes such as tofu with aubergines, peanut sauce dumplings, and various stir fries are repeatedly highlighted for flavor and presentation. Takeout is consistently reliable and portions tend to be large, making it a common choice for sharing and casual meals. Some items receive criticism for being too sweet or too salty, for heavy batter, or for quality issues like over starch or bland meat in certain preparations. A few dishes like pad thai and orange beef are singled out as not meeting expectations, and a handful of visits are described as disappointing or inconsistent. Overall the sentiment is that Plâts De Pates Hong Mère is a standout option in Montreal for authentic flavors, with many customers returning regularly and recommending it to friends.

The flavour actually quite impressive 😊very authentic Chinese dishes but also accommodating to some local palate 😌
Ordered the braised pork with quill egg + spicy cabbage, very satisfied with the taste

Hong Mère is amazing. I went with a group for a Wok cooking masterclass & we watched & learned as Chef Yu WOKed us through 11 dishes from his menu. We learned how to choose a wok & if we chose cast iron, how to season it for non-stick cooking. Then he showed us how he prepares, cooks & plates 11 different dishes. The attention to every detail & his mastery of North-Eastern Chinese & Szechuan cuisine is astonishing. This is no
assembly line. Every dish is cooked from scratch. My favourites were the Japanese tofu & Salt & Pepper shrimp, & spicy fish soup & crispy chicken...actually EVERYTHING is amazing. Family owned & operated...THIS is best of Montreal Chinese. & chef Yu wants to help people with limited exposure to discover AUTHENTIC Chinese. So ask about an alternative to General Tao & the other typical fare. You are going to be shocked at what you experience. I am going to make a video & attach it to this post late March 2026.
Really exceeded my expectations. Food came fast, water was always filled up, food was awesome, portions were great. Checks all the boxes & it was delicious. Very authentic. It will be our to-go Chinese place !
Amazing food & great service.
Most importantly, they serve authentic northern Chinese cuisine with fantastic flavors 👍👍🙏
Place I would recommend to all my friend: Asian or non- Asian backgrounds😄

I'm so happy I discovered this place through one of my best friends last year. Whether it's your classic North American Chinese classics or more authentic Chinese dishes, the flavours are fantastic. Their portions are also very generous considering how affordable it is. I've been once in person & taken out twice. & each time the food was spectacular.
One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in Montreal. It has a variety of dishes from different parts of China, which can be scary to non-Asian folks, but try them out & you won't be disappointed.
Food came out very quickly & the service was efficient & accommodating.
This restaurant has found the balance between authentic Chinese food liked by Chinese people & westernized dishes appealing to non-Chinese customers. While it is not mind blowing, it's a fair value for the area. It looks cleaner & bigger than most Chinese restaurants.
Food is fantastic & the service is always good when I go , it's very fresh & not North American & breaded - I imagine this is closer to authentic Chinese food than most places . I highly recommend & the portions are extremely generous.

I went to China for 3 weeks last year. The food was amazing. Homg Mere is the most authentic Chinese food next to being in China. I visit this restaurant at least once a week.
I thought I was back in China! Such an authentic Chinese restaurant... down to the fact that old men are drinking full glasses of straight baijiu! gotta love it
The plates are authentic & delicious. My friend is from Northeastern part of China said that she could taste home. This is a family own business, which they prepare your food with genuine & passion.
Love it, authentic Chinese food! My Taiwanese husband brought me here , amazing food ,a lot of dishes you can't find at other Chinese restaurants.love it ,tx for not americanizing & leaving it as it should be ,tried the pork belly with quail eggs,dumplings, eggplant dish,fried rice.
Good food for good prices. Authentic flavours. The pad Thai has petrified something. So not my thing, but authentic. Service is definitely present. Just not western.
À must! Very authentic. A Fantastic experience! EVERY dish was exceptionnaly good. We highly recommend the Chicken with house spicy sauce, the cold shredded potatoe salad, the Green beans & the Fish soup.
This is authentic, delicious Chinese food.
Highly recommend C01 (chicken in home sauce) & L03 (stir-fry beans)
