GREAT dim sum restaurant in Montreal! Not only is this restaurant huge, but the dim sum was excellent.
Coming from NY and having experienced dim sum in all of NYC's Chinatowns, as well as San Francisco, Toronto, Hong Kong and Singapore, I've admittedly and unfortunately become a bit of a dim sum snob. To my surprise though, La Maison Kam Fung was RIGHT UP THERE with some of the better dim sum experiences I've ever had. I'm not going to let it define the entire Montreal's dim sum scene, but if the rest of them are anything like this restaurant, then I would say add Montreal to that list of some of the best dim sum areas on this side of this hemisphere to visit!
Unbeknownst to us, we happened to come here on Victoria Day, which is a pretty big holiday in Canada and when we arrived, the parking lot and restaurant was PACKED and bustling despite it being a Monday. I would assume it would be about the same amount of traffic on the weekends. Fortunately, our wait was only about 20-25 minutes since the restaurant is so big and turnover was high.
ALL of the usual dim sum staples are served here and it's really, really great to see the traditional dim sum push carts back again as we turn the page on the COVID-19 pandemic. Dim sum just wasn't the same the last few years without the push cart ladies walking around and showcasing what they had in their carts.
I won't go through every single dim sum dish, but, seriously, we didn't have a single complaint about any of the dishes we ordered - pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, spring rolls, sticky rice with chicken, roast pork rice roll, shrimp and chive dumplings, steamed spare ribs, egg tarts - ALL EXCELLENT and right on par with some of the best dim sum we've ever had anywhere.
Food was fantastic, service was great. The whole restaurant was packed like it should be for dim sum. I dare to say almost the perfect dim sum experience!
