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 have been here before, & it is your typical Chinese restaurant with fair service. However i did like the food, but not everyone in our party did.
What annoyed me the most was when one waiter waited behind us while my father in law was counting the money to pay the bill. He is a senior & can be slow, but the waiter wouldnt move away & kept reminding us that the tip was extra!!
My father was a successful restaurateur in Montreal for decades. I am fully aware good service deserves good tip, but we tipped nonetheless for the'service' we got!
Typical chinese restaurant service with no manners, tact, or class. But i did like the food & the company i was with!!

Great local authentic Chinese restaurant. Large dining room. Lots of staff for quick & friendly service. Also open for dim sum until 2pm each day. Parking can be a challenge during peak hours. Street parking is available. The food is very tasty & the portions are good. Price is fair for the portions that you get. Take out available as well.
On a summer vacation visiting my mom & sister from also my nephew & his LARGE family also in town from Toronto, we came to Tong Por for a family dinner.
As it was on the eve of Ste Jean Baptiste Day holiday in Quebec, the restaurant was not as crowded on a Monday night - as people are traveling or camping.
We were given a large table with rotation capability for easy food access by everyone, We ordered:
* Cantonese Stewed Brisket w/ Daikon
* Sweet & Sour Pork Chops
* Deep Fried Salt & Pepper Tofu Cubes
' Salt & Pepper Fired Chicken
* Beef & Gailan in Oyster Sauce
* Black Bean Steamed Fish
* Crispy Cantonese Chow Mein
The food took a little bit time to come out of the kitchen, but once the first one arrived, the rest came rather quickly in succession. This is a Cantonese restaurant, which is one of our preferred Chinese cuisines, so they were very genuine & delicious. The service was quite good, as we (the visitors from. Toronto & California) happened to hit a heat spell in Montreal; temperature outside was in the high 35°C+, so they gave us a water pitcher with plenty of ice in it so no need to bother them constantly with a large party of 10 people.
In summary, Ville St Laurent used to have quite a few options when it comes to Chinese cuisines - avoiding the need to drive to Montreal Chinatown & parking headaches, however, due to the current economy & past COVID consequences, Tong Por is miraculously still serving St Laurent & its vicinity. So, if like us, you're craving for some yummy Cantonese cuisines & not wanting to bother fighting the traffic, give Tong Por a try.
I brought my family here to eat. We got the combo B for six people & had a delicious meal! Everything was very tasty, & the staff were very friendly. I would definitely come here again!
This is the real folks. Show up before 11:30 to get a table (& a parking spot!). Food is good & hot at the table. Cart service so you need to keep an eye out for your favs to fly by! We had a table for 5 & were not crowded or rushed. Service was impeccable & friendly. Will for sure be back. If I can find a parking spot :)
Phenomenal food & service. We had general Tao, frog's legs, chow mein & lemon chicken. All of it was delicious (the frog's legs were a little chewy but the veggies it came with were delicious) & the servers clearly love their jobs, all joking with us & making sure we get what we want. Would definitely recommend & go again!
