Named after the Yangtze River, the longest waterway in Asia, represents an important gateway into China’s rich culture and history. Being one of the first neighbourhood Chinese restaurants in Montreal, it is renowned for its family dining experience, and has enjoyed a large and loyal clientele since its inception. This proud "institution", as its regulars likes to call it, is famous for its Egg Rolls and have been called the "best in town". In addition to those golden delicacies, the Wonton Soup, Yangtze Spare Ribs, Pineapple Chicken and Shrimps with Lobster Sauce are also favourites among Montrealers as well as former residents of the city who flock back when visiting. RESTAURANT TCHANG KIANG, was founded more than 35 years ago. This establishment was appreciated by many loyal customers and is recognized as one of the outstanding Chinese restaurants within the NDG area. Along with its many other Szechuan and Peking speciality dishes, this restaurant will surely satisfy any cravings.
Reviews for Tchang Kiang By Yangtze describe a place with very good food and generally excellent service, though portions are often called smaller than in the past. Dishes frequently praised include pineapple chicken, duck, chicken chow mein, garlic spareribs, egg rolls, hot and sour soup, chicken fried rice and the crispy pork with black mushrooms, with sauce and texture highlighted; some items are noted as overbattered, underfilled, or sometimes bland and overcooked. A few comments mention a decline from earlier visits, while many describe it as a reliable neighbourhood favourite for decades, clean surroundings and courteous staff. The restaurant is seen as a solid choice for celebrations and everyday meals alike, with attentive service and steady quality, even as portion size and consistency remain common themes in reviews.
Anyone with money or inheriting a restaurant can have one, but having business sense, common sense & respect for your customers who are your bread+butter requires a different kind of savvy! Petty cash-grabs at every turn has been the downfall of a number of restaurants, because at already too-high prices, customers do not wish to be taken further advantage of! First, refusing to supply the always in-the-past pack of a few dry noodles for the soup, insisting on the purchase of a whole order instead, then when asked to supply a few cellopacs of hot mustard for the now smaller, ever more expensive eggrolls, being told that mustard will now cost me $1.50 & then charging $2 extra for delivery (on a $54+ order) WHICH WAS ALWAYS FREE - is just way too much gouging, disdain & disrespect!!! Their predecessors would cringe in shame! Their food may be good (not all of it, by any means), but enough is enough! I will opt for a bit less good (many other less-expensive choices of places) & better appreciation elsewhere, as I understand a number of other customers of theirs already have done.
Ordered from here via DoorDash & honestly this food made me sad. I hate to leave such a bad review but the sesame beef was dessert it was so sweet, the chicken chow mein was inedible & was missing noodles & I feel like I got totally ripped off. Never again.
I've been going for years (50+) This is where we'd go for my birthday. Egg rolls are still excellent. All the food was perfect. Although they dropped the almonds from the chicken & vegetables.
Riz frit aux légumes....aucun goût Légumes sautés....2 légumes en quantité Nouilles pâteuses Les quantités ont diminué & les prix en hausse Ils ont oublié les baguettes & les sauces d'accompagnement
Since covid your prices, have gone way up. Not everyone lives, in cote st luc or Westmont. & the quality, gas gone way down. I miss Vanhorne, & Tiger so much.
This is the place to go if you want some good Montréal chinese food. Recommend the general tao & the spare rib sauce is to die for. Plus the young man working the front is pretty cute....tarique I think? ;)
