Tong Por Restaurant previously in Montreal Chinatown and recently moved in Ville St-Laurent offers fine Chinese and Thai cuisine, specializing in Dim Sum, Tong Por duck, etc.. The restaurant is large and can accommodate up to 600 patrons. The decor is simple with a touch of China and Thailand.
Tong Por Resto-Reception is a comforting, classic Cantonese spot where dim sum and other Cantonese dishes are consistently flavorful and satisfying. Dim sum carts and an a la carte menu offer a wide variety, with staples like shu mai and hargow and favorites such as fried rice and noodles, plus a range of proteins and tofu. The service is generally friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere feels lively and family friendly, though weekends can bring crowds and parking can be a challenge. The dining room is spacious and traditional, with some comments noting a dated feel and hours for dim sum that are not always clear. Overall, the value is solid, portions are generous, and the food is described as tasty and authentic, making Tong Por a reliable choice for gatherings or casual meals with friends.
Tong Por is definitely one of Montreal's staple Chinese restaurants, especially for dim sum.
The dim sum here is consistently very good & a reliable choice if you're craving classic Cantonese dishes.
For dinner, they also offer some lesser-known, specialty dishes that are absolutely worth trying. One standout is the Eight Treasure Duck (???), which is not something you'll find at many places. It's a great option if you're looking to try something different & more traditional.
Just note that this dish needs to be ordered in advance-usually at least 2 to 4 hours ahead-so the kitchen has time to prepare it properly.
Overall, a very solid spot with both classic & unique offerings. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're willing to plan ahead for their special dishes.
Tong Por is such a great spot when you're craving comforting, flavorful Chinese food. It's a true classic establishment for dim sum - the kind of place that feels timeless & reliable.
The servers are funny & full of personality, which just adds to the charm of the experience. Always a satisfying visit.
Very tricky to find parking as it's almost always jam-packed!
I love Chinese food, yeah. You know that it's true, yeah. I love fried rice, I love noodles, I love chow mein, chow mei mei mei mei mein.

Classic Dim Sum experience, nothing grandiose but nothing poorioso. The lights are perfectly dim & food sums up everything about the classical Dim Sum experience.
Chicken feet 🐔 Pork 🐷 Beef 🐄 Shrimp 🍤 Tofu 🐪 Noodole 🍜 You name it, they got it.
Unfortunately, I do not speak the language of the great big China, so I must communicate in the language of the ASL & English. Maybe one day I'll learn Chinese (Da chia how juung go, chuunzai, wu yo BING CHILLING) Other than that, service is good. Aunties are nice & uncles are nice :)
Atmosphere is Chinese.

They are not clear with the schedule before attending I looked for information on the page & I did not find anything regarding what time the dim sum service ends even before entering I took a look at the hours at the door & nothing I arrived at 2:30 I could only eat what was left of the service then I asked a waiter & he only told me that it ended at 3 in the afternoon but he did not tell me if the dim sum service resumed later I would like to be able to find this information on the page or at the entrance of the restaurant
My family & I went here for my husband's birthday. The restaurant is very spacious. They often hold weddings & other events, but yesterday night was quiet. The waiters were Friendly & attentive. As for the food the portions are a good size considering each plate is about $20. The taste & quality was amazing. You really don't need to go downtown china town for this kind of quality food. I highly recommend you try here.
We left a 10% tip, & afterward a staff member came out & loudly confronted us, insisting that we must pay 15% instead.
There was no clear indication on the receipt or menu that a specific gratuity percentage was required. The way this was handled was extremely unprofessional - the staff member was arguing loudly & creating a scene, which made everyone very uncomfortable.
To avoid further conflict, we still paid the additional amount, even though we felt pressured. This was not about money, but about basic respect & service attitude.
While the food was acceptable, the service attitude was very poor, & this experience completely ruined our visit. We will not be returning.

I've only had dim sum here, but I highly recommend it. If you go on the weekend, be prepared for parking wars with the customers from Marché C&T (IYKYK).

Best food, excellent service, affordable for families & groups, food comes out fast, friendly atmosphere. We go there whenever we can, for dinner or traditional dimsum brunch with push-carts. Highly recommend.
My mother in law took me, my wife & our daughter out for Birthday Dim sum. Its always a great time Dim Sum spot when the waiter makes you feel like you're in trouble for asking for the'hot mustard & hot sauce'. Steam carts & bamboo steam baskets galore. Delicious & hot, steamy & ready for your taking. Favorites like shu mai & hargow are glorious staples, but try something different the honeycomb tripe was top notch. Definitely our Dim Sum choice over any other.
