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.
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.
The ma po tofu & fried rice were very nice. The other dishes were too much batter, barely any meat & not very similar as the pictures on the menu. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the orange beef & crispy pork, they were both too sweet & not balanced in flavours.

Eggroll came still cold in the middle. Mapo tofu was delicious but very salty. Food was reasonably priced & came quickly. Overall, my experience was below-average but not horrible. Could've just been a bad day.
I must have gone on an off day or something, as the meat dish I ordered was inedible where I couldn't finish the dish nor did I want to take it home. By far the worst Chinese restaurant food dish I've ever experienced in Montréal. Perhaps their vegetarian dishes are much better, such as a tofu or eggplant based one.
Toujours très rapide, sur place comme pour emporté. Le personnel est courtois & professionnel, & la nourriture est délicieuse. Je recommande le tofu au beurre d'arachides avec les épinards croustillants. Merci!!
Tout simplement mon restaurant préféré à Montreal. Tous les plats sont délicieux, j'y retourne toujours avec plaisir. Petite attention pour le tofu aux aubergines & porc haché: un délice
Les plats étaient délicieux! Nous avons pris un pad thai & le''Stir Fried Tofu with Spicy Bean Sauce, Bell Pepper, Onion & Peanut'' pour emporter. Le tofu était savoureuxxxxx. Aussi le rapport qualité-prix est bon --les portions sont généreuses.
Nous allons y retourner sûrement! Pour ceux qui veulent des photos des plats, le menu physical au resto en a (le site web manque quelques photos).
Small edit-- We always get takeout & love the food. We dined in one time & it was alright. The atmosphere is not great as they only have bright industrial white lights so I probably wouldn't dine in again. The food is still delicious however so we'll definitely continue to get takeout from there!

The julienned potato, tofu, eggplant. Eggplant was the highlight but everything was good. It was nice to sit outside but the air conditioner was on too high inside
Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal! Les plats ont énormément de saveurs différentes, il y a un grand choix & ils sont tous excellents. Nous venons souvent & ne sommes jamais déçus. Je recommande tout particulier le tofu aux aubergines & boeuf.
I got the spicy chicken plate with a side of rice, it was so delicious!!! & my partner got general tso tofu which they loved. Will have to come back next time I am in Montreal
