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.
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.
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 !
Uber... I'm very disappointed. The only dish that was good was the pork knuckle. Everything else was terrible.
Spring rolls burnt.... Fried Rice way too starchy... Pineapple, chicken unrecognizable inadequal breading, totally soaked... Beef & vegetables also not good... beef is either poor quality or they don't velvet their beef before they cook it.
Shrimp sezchuan inedible... consistency like mashed potatoes.
I would not recommend this restaurant unless all you order is the pork knuckle.
The food at Xiang Mama in Montreal was really good; the two of us finished all four dishes, especially the sweet & sour pork. As someone from Northeast China, it was truly wonderful to try, it tasted just like home.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal. The dishes taste the same as those in the restaurants in China. I am Chinese & this is the restaurant that I highly recommend to my colleagues & friends.

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
Very salty food, & I like salt.
All the dishes tasted the same.
Service horrible.
Bill was 160$ but they refused to show me the bill until I pay for everything.
This place is a joke. Maybe it was a bad night for them. Pretty awful experience.
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!
