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.
In my opinion, Tong Por is an amazing restaurant but it does have a couple bad things, for example, sometimes there might not be spaces available because of a wedding & it's very loud inside the restaurant. Food is insanely good tho!
Un endroit typique pour les dim sum, beaucoup de monde, la bouffe est très bonne. On y va régulièrement, c'est pas chic mais c'est toujours très bon. Si vous aimez le vrai chinois, vous ne serez pas déçus.
Les serveurs étaient à l'écoute de nos besoins, ils étaient chaleureux. L'ambiance était bonne. Quoique ce n'est pas mon genre de nourriture, j'ai trouvé certains plats très bons. Beaucoup de texture gluante, c'est ce qui ne m'a pas plu...
I'm from California & that doesn't mean anything except for the fact that I'm coming from San Francisco where the Asian population is big & I've been looking, looking & LOOKING for good, authentic Chinese food like the one I'm used to since the 1980s & that may mean different things to different people but I've always gone to authentic Chinese Resto's with Chinese owners since I was a child--- WELL FOLKS, I've finally found my place after almost THREE LONG YEARS in Montreal without a good Chinese Resto to go to! My rating is based on a take-out order so my service experience was a phone call & a credit card transaction, but at pick-up, the staff bowed & greeted me & were quite kind. I brought my delicious won ton soup, beef broccoli, & chicken fried rice home only to DEVOUR every bite! It was SO good! Honestly, one of the best won ton soups I've ever tasted. This place needs more ratings so that's why I'm here. I can't wait to go again!

We had not been here for some years before we decided to have some chinese food that was somewhere other than Chinatown. I will go back to Chinatown when someone decides to make tasty food instead of cheap food.
But Tongpour had left a good impression on some of us & we were not disappointed when we did return.
The place is not much to look at a large room holding over 300 or maybe even 400 (dim sum sized) & the parking outside is a nightmare to navigate, don't ask.
We always have the same thing because of a very determined member of our group so its Cantonese chow mein, rice & eggplant which is quite good.
The dishes are huge & you can easily feed twice as many persons as you would think. But our determined friend eats nothing that swims or crawls in water & it is too bad because the salt & pepper shrimp are just too good to be true & at about 12$ for 10-12 shrimps they are a steal.
The soups are good & one day we will try something else I am sure .
Need Chinese save yourself the grief of downtown eat here & walk there ..cars are a hazzard near this area
Endroit de prédilection pour un souper chinois en groupe ou en famille. Le service est correct, la nourriture est bonne. Le Dim sum est tres bon, c'est d'ailleurs une référence dans la région de Montreal.
First time we went there in February. Yesterday was our second time. Both times we were extremely pleased. This place so far is the best Chinese place that we have discovered. I also tried Chinese beer for the first time here, which I liked very much.
Sure the parking is a pain & the line up is at times long on the weekends. But that's part of the charm. Sure beats driving around in circles looking for & paying for parking in Chinatown.
The Dim Sum has a fairly good selection & the quality is above average.
There's a huge Chinese market at the other end of the mall that I like to visit after Dim Sum.
Very good service from the receptionist lady, Lina. Very professional, courtoeus, professional, & knowledgeable about the menu. My takeout order was well placed & got there at the right time. A big tip $$ for Lina.
Food is ok but could be a little bit hotter, may be was sitting in the kitchen for a while before being served.
Parking is a bit of a pain, especially when it's party night..
