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 comes across as a dependable Cantonese spot with consistently good dim sum and a mix of classic dishes and occasional specialty options like the Eight Treasure Duck that many feel is worth trying, even though it typically needs to be ordered in advance. Diners praise the high quality and variety of dim sum, the presence of carts, and generous portions, with some noting the atmosphere feels timeless and friendly. Parking can be a challenge, especially on weekends, but the service is often described as warm and attentive, even when the pace or communication can vary. The restaurant is roomy and suitable for families and events, and many reviewers say the price-to-portion value is fair; some critique the decor as dated and the space sometimes busy, yet the food tends to carry the experience. Occasional concerns include unclear hours or dim sum service times and occasional service hiccups or tipping discussions, but overall Tong Por remains a reliable destination for comforting, flavorful Cantonese dining and a solid range of dim sum and dinner options.
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.
Large portions & good quality food. I like that they have a wonton soup without pork (only shrimp), I don't eat pork so normally can't order that. Our server was very nice.
Dim Sum can vary, last time was excellent, dinner/ main plates generous but quality of output average, service attentive
Went this past Sat. Place was mobbed. Dim sum was first class. Soumai was moist, full of pork & ground shrimp with a transperant skin, sticky rice & chicken feet were hot & tasty while spareribs were meaty in their black bean sauce.
After the lengthy customer restrictions from the pandemic, it was nice to see the big dining room full & vibrant.

I felt compelled to make an update. Today the dim sum was outstanding. Eating alone my sample had to be a narrow one.
The tripe,liver & turnip was delicious. Moist & chewy, I enjoyed & applauded that the different elements of Now Jap in their serving chariot were separate as opposedto being in one prearranged mixture. The spareribs in black bean sauce were somewhat unique So much meat around each piece,chewy & garlic tasting. The sumai( steamed pork & shrimp) dumplings were as good as I have ever sampled including those eaten in Hong Kong . Light,buttery,virtual no thick,floured skin & brilliant texture, I almost brought a second order home in an act of indulgence. The three items described cost $23 before taxes up 40% from several years ago but in the moment worth every penny according to my satisfaction
