Montreal’s Best Chinese Restaurants | Eater Montreal
"Verdun favourite Hong Mère has its legions of loyal followers in the neighbourhood digging the restaurant’s mix of Dongbei (northern Chinese) and spicy Sichuan fare, alongside a roster of cold dishes rarely seen in Montreal. Try the Dongbei-style la pi (a cold vegetable salad with slippery rice noodles), Dongbei lao hu salad (crunchy veggies with a tart dressing), and the scallion pancakes." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
The food at Xiang Mama in Montreal was really good; the two of us finished all four dishes, especially the sweet and sour pork. As someone from Northeast China, it was truly wonderful to try, it tasted just like home.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal. The dishes taste the same as those in the restaurants in China. I am Chinese and this is the restaurant that I highly recommend to my colleagues and friends.

I’m so happy I discovered this place through one of my best friends last year. Whether it’s your classic North American Chinese classics or more authentic Chinese dishes, the flavours are fantastic. Their portions are also very generous considering how affordable it is. I’ve been once in person and taken out twice. And each time the food was spectacular.

Uber... I'm very disappointed. The only dish that was good was the pork knuckle. Everything else was terrible.
Spring rolls burnt.... Fried Rice way too starchy... Pineapple, chicken unrecognizable inadequal breading, totally soaked... Beef & vegetables also not good... beef is either poor quality or they don't velvet their beef before they cook it.
Shrimp sezchuan inedible... consistency like mashed potatoes.
I would not recommend this restaurant unless all you order is the pork knuckle.

My favorite Northeastern Chinese food in the Western hemisphere. My family has roots in that area in China and I don’t care what anyone else says - this place tasted like home. My husband and I live in Boston and drove here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday…and everything from the server in the back busy storing inventory while shouting welcome to us in Chinese to the taste of every dish…I don’t remember tasting this kind of flavor outside of China. Get the traditional Northeastern Chinese plates like 大拉皮 or 锅包肉, we added on a specialty Chicken dish that the chef recommended and didn’t regret it. Licked the plates clean and we’ll be back every year 😉

Really exceeded my expectations. Food came fast, water was always filled up, food was awesome, portions were great. Checks all the boxes and it was delicious. Very authentic. It will be our to-go Chinese place !

The julienned potato, tofu, eggplant. Eggplant was the highlight but everything was good. It was nice to sit outside but the air conditioner was on too high inside

I must have gone on an off day or something, as the meat dish I ordered was inedible where I couldn't finish the dish nor did I want to take it home. By far the worst Chinese restaurant food dish I've ever experienced in Montréal. Perhaps their vegetarian dishes are much better, such as a tofu or eggplant based one.
