Restaurant Chinatown Kim Fung in Montreal

Very good service. very good quality with low price.

The service is too fast, the dishes are cold, no sauces for the dumplings, difficulty in getting information in French, no menu only suggestions at the table... Vegetarian options: Lets opt ok but very few proposals Dietary restrictions: Possible vegetarian options Parking: Overrated restaurant, not very good, everything is served cold... Kid-friendliness: Okay Wheelchair accessibility: I dont know

Best dim sum in the city, hands down. Fast and delicious.

I will be really honest, the place doesnt worth the price, I expected a little bit more at least but we were really dissapointed on the food was super salty, bland or not well seasoned, the quantity ita good but meh not worth it, the personal was attentitvd a little bit slow when they had to take your dirty plates and the place its good but meed a little bit more love.

Good meal, good service

Authentic dim sum restaurant. Decent prices for the food quality. Bring cash! ;)

Poor food quality.

CLASSIC, WHAT CAN I SAY? HAD A GREAT MEAL HERE AND THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY, OYSTERS WITH BLACK BEANS WERE FAVORITE! Food

I paid for shrimp fried rice & general thou, they give me Chicken fried rice

A hair on a dish, dirty cups, tips already included in the price, overall dirty restaurant, food was mediocre. Overall I wouldnt recommend this place.

So the food was not delicious and the service attitude was also very bad, especially a man with no hair. I told him and asked him to add water to me. Then he gave me a lecture and asked me to put it where and not to touch the blabla. Too bad

They changed hot sauce. They dont have the Kowloon hot sauce from Hong Kong.. makes the experience different..im used to the og hot sauce.

Great place for dim sum! Their egg tarts are so good!

Got seated quickly but behind a pole. Every cart missed us except one. But the amount of food given was enough for a hamster and not two people. We waited 15 minutes for another cart to go by but nothing. We got left and the lady taking payment was rude. I complained about no carts coming by and she said great you shouldn t eat . Awful experience. I wish nothing but the worst for the restaurant.

The taste is very good and the unit price is very affordable. The waiter knew that we were traveling to Quebec later and gave us a suggestion to go to Morris National Park. 5-star recommendation

tucked away in an old mall area. solid dim sum. had all the traditional dishes. done well.

Too expensive now and food quality havent improved with the price

Went there yesterday for late dim sum, the wait was way too long for dim sum and the food was bad, obviously the dishes were leftovers but badly reheated. Menu has no prices on it, is this a joke? Got charged for a stir-fried noodle that wasnt even served. The waiter was asking for more tips. I did give tips but Id rather give nothing for this extremely poor service. This place used to be really good, now it felt like a tourist trap. Id give 0/10 star.

I was craving authentic Chinese food and took my family to celebrate my wedding anniversary. The food was great as always.

Overall not very happy experience. Average food. The lady who took us to the bill picked the tip percentage for us directly and quickly and didnt give us a chance to choose for ourselves. Not a good feeling. No menu, you just need to choose what you want when trolleys are passing by. Asked for salt but no one offers us.

It is a very popular and atmospheric restaurant. There are chairs in the entrance registration and waiting area. Delicious tea with fragrant tea is prepared on the table as soon as you enter. The shrimp dumplings, siomai, salt water corner, and chive cakes are all delicious. I look forward to it. Will try more different meals next time. The service staff were very nice. Although the food truck passing by didnt have what we wanted, she helped us get the items we wanted to eat. Thank you very much.

Very poor service

The service attitude was really bad. The person who took the seat at the door said it didnt matter, and the tip didnt go to her. The waiter looked disgusting and rolled his eyes. He had to ask for something several times. Finally, he shamelessly came over to ask for a tip.

Arrive on a Friday evening, the place is only 20% filled. Service is bad. Originally we intended to order 4 dishes (6 person, but 3 were elderly who don t eat much). We were pressurized into ordering another dish. Ordered a sweet and sour pork. The meat was tough and were not seasoned.

HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED! RACIST AND RUDE SERVICE! I visited this place with a friend, and the experience was shocking. After splitting the bill, I chose not to tip due to poor service. The waiter rudely commented that Indians don t know how to tip a blatantly racist remark even though my friend did choose to tip. Such disrespect and stereotyping are completely unacceptable. If you value good service and equality, avoid this place. One of the worst dining experiences I ve ever had.

Kicked us out 1hr before closing

The server took a good 20 mins to find our table. The food is actually somewhat decent. At the checkout, they charged 11 dishes (we had 10). I pointed out that the number is not quite the same I am sure it never happens, although, it might worth to check it just to be sure

I found that the meat was tough, the service was 0 out of five. The waitress tried not to look at us, she forgot and used the same silk water. The waitresses looked stupid.. I hope that it will change.

Wanting to eat authentic, typically Chinese food, we went to the Chinese neighborhood and after a brief visit to this bustling neighborhood we stopped at KIM FUNG. Arriving at the restaurant reception, surprise...you would have thought they were going to celebrate a wedding........tables and chairs all dressed in tablecloths and chair covers. The hostess welcomed us and reassured us that the presentation of the restaurant is as is. In short, KIM FUNG is a family restaurant like in Chinese restaurants, but without the view of the buffet where you serve yourself. You order and everything arrives on a cart and placed on your table. the service is excellent and fast the food is excellent, the taste, the flavors everything is authentic Chinese. I ordered Menu A for 2 people and added vegetarian rolls as well as fried pork dumplings. What a Feast each dish was a real delight for the taste buds. Congratulations to the Kim Fung staff My guest and I enjoyed the experience of your restaurant. Vegetarian options: vegetarian menu for vegetarian people.

For lunch or dinner it s an excellent choice. Vast choice of steamed dishes at lunchtime and a very good choice in the evening. The service is efficient, courteous and the bill is reasonable. The only downside is that the large room can sometimes be a little noisy. I recommend, especially for a group meal

Vegetarian options: Fried soft tofu was delicious Food

Good fast service. A lot of choices. Everything was very good! On the other hand, the place is not very clean (especially the toilets). But I would go back to try even more dishes.

This place is good, friendly and the welcome is good.

The place is large, the Chinese restaurant large enough to host our 50 people group. Food was quite average, every dish tasted the same.

One of the best places in Chinatown to eat ( ) dim sum . Cash or credit card accepted

came here with a recommendation of a friend, but I left a horribly experience. The food was ok not that wow like how my friend said it was, we are from Toronto so have had better dim sum tbh. Service was so bad we asked 3 times to refill our tea, no one checks up on us. All the old ladies only offer us foods, but when we ask for tea and sauces they completely ignored. Our bill was 126 before tax (has no break down any item we ordered and price of each item), they offer if we pay cash there will be no tax which we agreed. I gave them 140 which is almost 12% of tip, we think it s kinda fair for the service they provide. We paid and left money on the table, the bald waiter (was advising to one lady at cashier) run straight and fast to the table to grab the money, I was assuming so the money dont get lost, but he just came to check how much do we tip them. After check the money out he chased us down to asked for more tip, apparently they want minimum 15% of tip which is 145 in total. We refused to do so they said well unless you pay me $5 extra or we gunna charge 20% of tax (i m sorry but at what part of Canada charge 20% tax? cuz i remember Quebec only charge 9% sale tax), so they offer us to pay cash to hide their income tax then they wanna charge us double the tax? I was about to take back my cash then pay with my credit card then leave them no tip, but my dad gave them $4 extra to call it a day to make everyone happy. Never again this is a worst restaurant we have been in. I wish i could give 0 star, but there is no option like that. Please save your money and go elsewhere

The service and atmosphere of the place are amazing. Although, the dim sum... well, Im not here to criticize the food, but no one likes it. Including me. Vegetarian options: No Kid-friendliness: No kids menu although kids will like some of the food there.

Daily dim sum during the week is less good than on weekends. I did notice what felt like purposeful over charging which has been mentioned by othered (maybe the tea is 7-8$?). Many dishes here are very good. I ll continue to come but will check bill as they mark it, and I will really try to go on weekends only for dim sum. I may also order from main menu during week days.

Used to be a great place for weekend dimsum. Now its way, way overpriced. I wont be going there anymore, cant afford it. Cost me $70! Franchement! On a side note, the bathrooms were disgusting. Theres no way to lock the stall door and there didnt appear to be anyone maintaining them.

Chow men most be the best one by far, and so is the rest of there food

This prob the best dim sum place Lots of dim sum selections Staffs are kind and friendly to explain the items We had a great time here Food : 5/5 |

Its really good. Nice food, nice servers (?). I came here twice and it was comfortable, yeah its a little crowdy but there is enough space to set your stuff. I brung my friend there and she was shock, it was a new experience for her, she especially loved the rolls, it was so good for her that she even ate the sauce.

Delicious Hong Kong style My favorite is shrimp dumplings, siomai and bean curd. recommend! I will order these three dishes again next time I come. The waiters are kind and polite, and will recommend dishes even if you don t know what to eat.

Dim sum at night may not be traditional, but they had nearly their entire menu of dim sum items (as well as many other Chinese dishes) available at 8:30 and were still seating people until 9:15. Delicious, with friendly service and not crowded at that hour. Apparently the slightly tattered tablecloths are a tradition not a sign of neglect.

Same as in China... in any case, same as when I was in Shanghai in 2017

We returned to Montreal for the Jazz Festival for the first time since COVID. Kim Fung was always one of our favorites so we went there for Dim Sum around noon on the first day. I am sad to say it was a terrible disappointment. The Dim Sum offerings were limited and the Shu Mai, Har Gaw, etc. appeared not to be freshly made. Our server never even acknowledged us. We had to ask the cart drivers for what we needed - water, sauces (they dont automatically serve any sauces), and extra napkins. The cart service was sporadic and most passed us by without eye contact or offering. At the end we still had not seen our server, so when we finished (much quicker than we usually do at Dim Sum), I picked up our tally card and started to walk to the register when suddenly our server appeared and said he would take our payment. He totaled it and handed the card reader to us and it asked for how much tip we wanted to leave. I told him NO TIP and he became angry and confrontational and said we MUST leave a tip. I took the custom option and entered a tip of $1.00 CA. He was angry and stormed off without a thank you. We love cart Dim Sum and eat it whenever possible, but I think we will not return to Kim Fung.

Food is okay, half of it was cold and flavourless. So salty. Had much better dim sum elsewhere. Place is old and dilapidated. Everything is dirty. Old ripped and stained linen. Ended up violently ill within a few hours. Also shouted at and pressured to pay more in tips, came back to the table 3 times to ask for a bigger tip even pulling out his calculator on his phone. Calculated the tip on post tax not pre tax amount and demanded more. Have never had anything like this happen before- if I could take back the tip already given because of this behaviour I would. Tipping is not mandatory, I was a manager in the service industry for 6 years and am very accustomed to tipping across the US and Canada. This attempt to humiliate customers is disgusting and I for one will not be recommending this place to anyone and would never return. Forced tipping, with a side of food poisoning. Avoid.

Have eaten here more than any other restaurant. Usually outstanding.

Beware of extreme tipping pressure at the cash. Totally inappropriate and sneaky.

Very good food and service. If you are a first timer like me the location may be a little hard to find. It is located on the second floor inside the building with RBC Bank. I came on a holiday on a Monday and they had push carts out!

I have been to Kim Fung (was Kam Fung) many times in the past and loved it, but it has really gone downhill We got 8 dim sum items off the carts and many were cold and not fresh. The xiao long bao was congealed inside-no soup in the soup dumplings. Our table and chairs were dirty. We found a few hairs in our dishes. Worst of all, we were seated a table just beside an exposed section of ceiling, with a bucket on the ground collecting leaking water. Two times during the mean, the ceiling gushed water onto me, my outfit and the table. To remedy this, the waiters gave us three napkins. We felt quite disgusted and also a bit queasy after.

It is one of the best Chinese food places in the whole of Montreal. The portions were very generous, and every dish was incredibly tasty. The service was also excellent.

It s alright, generic Chinese food.

The dim sum was very tasty. The service was great.

The dim sum is not good here, at all. The wraparound of the dumplings are thick and dry, and the filling for the soup dumplings are dry The service is horrible, they were not nice

It was a good restaurant in Dimsum. Today, much fewer varieties and the 1/2 duck requested (because no longer offered) at $40 is really excessive because nothing special, without sauce or accompaniment. Too bad! During our last visit: Dim Sum, distributed by carts, like there. Good quality.

I m not sure how they have a rating over 3 stars because it was the worst dim sum we ve ever had and we ve lived in NYC and San Francisco, so we know good dim sum. This place was highly recommended by someone and was a quick walk from our hotel so we headed there for Sunday brunch. It was busy, which we took as a good sign, but everything about our experience was horrible. We sat down and they immediately brought tea, but it took 15 minutes and asking 2x to get water. I ve never been to a dim sum place where it takes so long to get carts to come to your table. The first several carts had food we weren t interested in so we told them what we wanted, but they never sent those our way. Out of desperation we took some type of barbecue pork dumplings that were in a type of pastry shell, shrimp dumplings (didn t look like what they called it), and sautéed spinach. The dumplings were all ice cold inside and spinach was too oily and the sauce for them was way too sweet. We called over the guy who appeared to be in charge to tell him all the food was cold and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Came by a few minutes later and pointed to a cart across the room and said that had hot food. Never offered to replace the cold food we weren t eating. Not helpful or professional. We have never been to dim sum where you had to wait this long for food to come around. More typically they re annoying you coming over constantly, but at least then you get choices. We got desperate and took some fried calamari, but it too was disappointing; cold, coated in too-thick breading, and was oozing grease, truly disgusting. When we finally got them to come over with barbecue pork buns, and other steamed dumplings, once again most were cold inside and the dough was disgustingly thick. The steamed shrimp dumpling dough felt like glue in my mouth and I was sorely tempted to spit it out. After that, we just paid and left. The staff seemed disinterested and no one cared that we didn t like the food. The place is a dump, service was horrendous, and the food was inedible. I m sure there s very good dim sum in Montreal Chinatown so highly recommend you find somewhere else to spend your money.

Food was mid, service absolutely in need of improvement. Ive never been treated so disrespectfully.

Please DO NOT COME here at all cost. The service was really terrible. When I came at the reception to pay, the waiter didn t not agree to the tip amount. He looked at my card while I was typing my PIN number and recharge the tip. If you can t not pay your employee better then please don t operate the restaurant!!

Dim sum was great.

Best place for DIM SAM. Ive been there for 10 years, never disappointed! As it gets very busy, sometimes it is very hard to get on hold with waitresses. However the food is really good.

Everything we had was delicious! The staff were lovely too and very helpful. Opened early which was great for breakfast time food. To get to the restaurant you need to go through a mall, its up one level of stairs and there are signs.

Chinese buffet type food but fresher and tastier! Even the large room where we eat looks like a buffet with its carpet, its spacious tables and all the carts circulating there. When we arrive, they serve us green tea and let us take all the time we need to choose. When we need information about a dish, the waiter takes the time to describe it to us well. As for the dishes, the won tong soup is good, the general tao too (not too sweet nor too sour) the chicken fried rice has that delicious typical flame taste, the beef chow fun is a treat, the chicken soo guy is crispy and its sweet sauce only makes this dish even tastier. In addition, they do not hesitate to offer their guests generous portions to the point that we can bring some back to prolong the pleasure the next day, at home. The servers are friendly and attentive to our needs. Our meal ended with the famous fortune cookies and the children had the pleasure of reading all the wacky little messages hidden in the cookies! The prices are excellent and below their competitors, plus the fact that you will have more on your plate! Can we hope for better? I m already looking forward to my next visit! Kid-friendliness: Perfect for children!

no good food and very expensive.

Recommended restaurant on a well-respected site. Poorly tasty cuisine. Very disappointing experience Luckily the server was very friendly!

This was the worst restaurant experience I ve ever had. The food was salty, fatty, steak was too peppery. The service was horrible! I left my table and asked three different waiters for water throughout the meal. The food was so salty that I was so thirsty. At the end of the meal, the waiter finally served water with the bill. I complained that the waiter didn t visit our table once and I wasn t served anything to drink. The manager shoved his finger in my face and yelled at me when he noticed I didn t tip. He said that they were too busy to serve water with all the customers. I told him he was harassing me. He yelled at me and my two friends to pay and get out!!! I would not advise anyone to come to this restaurant and will report them to the Better business bureau of Quebec. My friend and I are both professionals and public school teachers.

Went for some dim sum bad service people who gave food. You couldnt understand what was said the dish was. We never got water until end of meal. We chose not to tip and manager went mad and was yelling at us to leave the restaurant. Avoid this place!

Real Cantonese restaurant. Buffet-style meals served on carts by the ladies. You try what tempts you and will get a reasonable price with a full appetite.

Just tried this restaurant for the first time and it was a scam! Foods are not great and too expensive. Atmosphere is not so great. Only good this is close to Chinatown.

Huge round table perfect for a family dinner or a souper with some friends the staff is friendly but u need to repeat. They only speak English or Chinese. My childhood restaurant !! Super view and clean !! They have toilets !! For 3 it was less than 60$ not bad not bad and the food was delicious !! MY FAVORITE OBVIOUSLY WONTON SOUP ( in the picture the price was around 40$ - 50$ ) Wheelchair accessibility: There is a elevator and a lot of place

After 20 some hrs, two connecting flight (@ Hong Kong & Vancouver) including a red eye flight, we finally arrived at Montreal around 8 am. My first meal at Montreal. Dim sum. The price is reasonable & it s quite authentic, delicious. It s nice to find such good dim sum restaurant in Montreal.

Hood Dim Sum, quick service, affordable

Food was excellent! Looking forward to going back!

I ate more than 40 yuan per person. The more delicious ones were the siu mai, shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, spare ribs, and quicksand buns. The service efficiency was a bit slow.

Super

These places have seen better days. The once white covers covering the chairs have lost their luster; some are literally brown. The large windows are clearly never washed. The place needs a good cleaning and redecoration. The variety of the menu seems to have become poorer over the years. The hostess displayed a magnificent absence of smile. I will choose another dim sum restaurant from now on.

Im giving 5 stars on everything because it has the food I was looking for: cart dim sum perfection! The atmosphere, while not perfectly clean or tidy or up to date, I am also give 5 stars, because it had the exact ambiance that I expected and was actually looking for! Outdated chair covers, old dragons on the walls, maybe a bit of peeling paint... Its all part of the experience in my books.

Always awesome, great dim sum. Love this place

This is a perfect choice for authentic Chinese food. They never disappoint you. The quality and the freshness of the dishes is amazing. Fully recommend it Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies and tofu choices

To live the experience once in your life if you are not a fan of this food. We went for lunch. Round table with a turntable in the center where you can put dishes to share and the adventure begins. The waiters come by regularly with carts of small dishes and we make our choice. Servers are very difficult to understand. Prices seem reasonable. In our case $24.00 per person plus taxes and we were all full.

Restaurant with good value for money, very fast service and lots of choice. Always quality never had a problem. Its just sometimes difficult to make yourself understood/understand the dishes but eventually we know them!

Beware of demanding to pay more tips or youll be HUMILIATED! Dim sum quality so so and very pricy. Dont believe it? Scroll down to read more on those 1 and 2 stars reviews, or try it out yourself to prove it! Theyre rude and discriminate and bully the Chinese speaking customers which is very true statement from one of the 1 star reviews. I ve a very bad and unpleasant experience with their terrible service at the restaurant. I m from Ontario and almost every year when I m in Montreal with my family, I always like to dine in at this dim sum restaurant during our visiting in the past 10 years. I ve not visited Montreal since the pandemic shut down for the past 4 years. Until last Friday, here I m visiting Montreal again but this time only by myself, as usual I went to dine in on Saturday morning. When I finished my meal, I asked the waiter for my bill who was just nearby the next table. He is a 60+ years old man, he came with the bill and I paying cash with the tip. Unexpectedly to my surprised, he looked at me unhappily and said: Hey! the tip is not enough, you got to pay more tips, don t you know the rule here? , so I dug out the only Toonie left I ve in my wallet on the table to added up more tips, as the rest are all the big bills. At the same time, I replied him I m not from Quebec. The waiter raised his voice and start questioning and yelling at me. Do you live in Canada? Or where are you from? Hong Kong? China? Or US? Oh! Is paying much more tips in the States . The way he s talking loudly and yelling behavior is to purposely draw the public attention trying to humiliating and embarrassing me. I was so shocked and unprepared for this sudden happening awful situation, so I walked away as I m not the type of person who wanted to argue with someone in the public area. This guy never serves me at my table at all from the beginning till I finished my meal, and he never even says a single word of Thank You except just yelling & humiliating at me demanding more tip after I gave him the tips. His manner and attitude are really hurting my feeling and I m so upset and it spoiled and ruined my holiday mode for the rest of the days. In Canada, there s no mandatory by law to tip, tipping is voluntary. In general, I usually give 10 to 15% tip on the total amount before tax, not after the tax which I disagreed and is considered ridicules. I ended up paid close to $50 including tips for my one-person pricy and little meal and ended up being humiliated. Furthermore, the dim sum quality has declined not as good as before and a lot more expensive & pricier after the pandemic. I never have any issue in the past and never have a problem in many other restaurants which I visited during my stay in Montreal the rest of the days after that incident. It is an unfortunate to have a waiter with this attitude & behavior, asking for more tips has become a habit, a norm, which chasing the customers away and ruined the reputations of the restaurant. I ll never ever want to step in to this Kim Fung restaurant again. It is a very unpleasant and awful experience.

Good authentic Chinese food with decent portion size.

There are many people on Saturday and there are many dishes. The food is delicious.

A classic for brunch. The food is good but nothing more. We go there for the classic Chinese dumplings. The restaurant needs to be modernized.

Authentic dim sum. One of the best place in town.

Kam Fung Restaurant is very popular in Chinatown and offers a variety of dim sum. Some entries are better than others and the quality constant is unfortunately quite variable and inconsistent. Sometimes we are lucky that dim sum is tasty and served hot and sometimes it is the opposite... Overall correct, nothing more.

Awesome dimsum

I have had numerous experiences dining on dim sum at various restaurants throughout the island of Montreal, including newly opened establishments. However, after all of that, Restaurant Chinatown Kim Fung remains the place that I cannot forget, with the most delicious flavors. What sets this restaurant apart is the attentive, warm, and friendly service provided by the serving staff. They always show genuine care and dedication in serving their customers. This truly creates a comfortable and cozy ambiance for enjoying a meal. I am committed to continually supporting this restaurant in the future, not only because of the excellent taste of their dim sum, but also because of the care and enthusiasm displayed by the staff.

Fabulous Dim Sum that keeps coming. Great find in a rather small mall. Food carts provide different dishes throughout meal.

Food was amazing. Service good. The restrooms need an overhaul.

It was a bit hard to find because it was inside of a mall. But the service is fast and food was great! No complaints about the dim sum. The servers mainly spoke Cantonese but could understand English too. It would nice to have a menu to see all the available dim sum options.

AVOID! Upon checkout the manager changed my preferred tip amount to a much higher amount. When I confronted him about this, he began shouting at me with a racist rant for about three minutes straight. Only after threatening to call the police did he finally allow me to pay my bill with my original choice of tip. The food itself was okay, but just average among dim sum establishments.

Good in every aspect and worth recommending.

SUNDAY BRUNCH DUMPLINGS EN MASSE WILD AND FUN THE MORE THE MERRIER HARGOI SHUMMMAAIII

It was good, all the dishes I chose, except the fried dumplings. Friendly service, quite popular and it goes quickly. Good dim sum.

The rudest host that I met in my vacation to Canada so far. Dont care to come back to this restaurant again. The restaurant is empty, and they should appreciate any customer coming to their door. I do not think any fortunate gods can help them with their attitudes. 0 zero start restaurant.

would give zero stars if I could

Waiter asked us for more tips because we didnt give 15%. Yes we did intend for 15% but made a simple mistake with mental math, but the waiter shouldnt feel entitled to ask for it. Its not like we didnt give anything or a low amount like 10%, just not 15% exactly. Tips arent mandatory anyway. Food was average but based on this interaction, we wont come here again. To the owner: was this really worth losing repeat business from customers? Think about that.

Delicious!!!!

Excellent restaurant, super good food

I went here with my dad and sister. The dim sum is decent (youd only notice a difference if youve had better dim sum elsewhere). I thought it was an overall okay experience, up until the end, when the waiter asked us to pay. He denied my dads tip and pulled out his phone to calculate what the tip should be right in front of us. (he asked for 30%) Ive been to many dim sum places. I have never had someone pull this stunt on my family--and perhaps they could if there was exceptional above and beyond service, or amenities like soap in the bathroom. This place is mediocre and should not be demanding extravagant tips.

Great Dim Sum! Bathrooms are pretty sketchy. Food

Some of the food was raw, the plates were dirty and the food isn t as fresh because they push it around in a cart all day

Good dim sum

If you can eat in just one Chinese restaurant, that s the choice. Specializing in Cantonese dim sum.

Fantastic food, friendly and speedy service. Would highly recommend.

Bad restaurant ever in my life. Very dirty, the floor is dirty, the chairs, the menu all dirty. The toilet is dirty, lots of paper in the tray and none in the roll, the soap tray is broken, no paper to wipe your hands. The food is not for human beings, it is food that is given to pigs on the farm, not edible, not good, the quality of the food the worst I have tasted in my life. I will never, never go back

Excellent dim sum and efficient service. Try the shrimp rice noodle rolls, taro puffs, shrimp dumplings, scallop dumplings and peanut dumplings.

mid mid mid. the food arrives fast but tastes like it was frozen. they made me lose my love for dim sum, and bad quality everything. while I was eating water started falling on me. it was brown and smelled bad, I went to the disgusting bathroom to clean my self. I returned and found out that the manager apologized to everyone at my table except me(water fell on me not the others) and after I saw somebody at my table pay with 10 20 dollar bills. for just a small family I think thats alot.i would recommend any dim sum place except this one since the others dont leak brown water from their ceilings.

Good food for the price but poor service. Staff is very impolite and rude, especially in front of my 82 y.o. mother : they laughed at us when we explained why we werent satisfied. The waiter had a threatening posture toward my sister.

Very good Dim Sum, fast service and very affordable. I recommend for a group meal.

I could get past the dingy atmosphere . But when it came to pay ,the bill was 90$ for 2 of us , we only had 8 dishes . 1 was shrimp . I think they padded the bill . So when I paid , I gave just under 10% and I had cash to leave on the table . The server got very upset and told me I should leave at least 10%! Then she was complaining in front of me to the waiter and pointing at us . It was awful . I told her I was leaving cash and she just ignored me . I told her she should never demand or complain about a tip . She ignored me . She grabbed the cash off the table and walked away . I complained to the woman at the front, who just smiled and said sorry . Awful ppl awful place . Overpriced and rude servers .

All the dishes were very unpalatable. The beef was wrapped in a lot of tender meat powder and had only a sweet taste. The lobster with ginger and scallions was very dry. The steamed fish was also very sweet and had many fish scales. The chicken is heated in the microwave...

Absolutely terrible! Probably one of the worst dim sum places Ive been to in recent memory! There is a reason why this place is so empty. Came here on Saturday morning around 8:30am, the place was so empty and it took forever to flag someone down. When we finally got seated they gave us a menu with NO prices (none on the menu nor on the ordering sheet, huge red flag). The food came very slowly and was very bland and so-so. For a restaurant with barely any customers they managed to miss 2 of our items. When the bill came we were hit with a big surprise, the small dimsum starts at $6, which is robbery! Paid almost $20 per person and barely ate anything, then the lady said she forgot to charge 1 of the items. They purposely make it ambiguous and theres no itemized breakdown so we couldnt tell if she charged us or not. Never ever coming back here, the washroom was gross and smelly too. Terrible service and food.

Slow, expensive, and terrible service.

Fantastic food highly recommend all the food we ate: stuffed bell pepper with shrimp, shrimp dim sum, shrimp and clam dim sum, the fried rice, the Shanghai noodle, and hunan chicken with veges .not everyday do I find a restaurant where I enjoy every item. And whatever we paid, it was absolutely worth it. Lovely atmosphere as it was bustling. Best Chinese food I ve had in Canada.

Very tasty dim sums. The prices are right. We will definitely coming back. The entrance is tricky to find for the first time. It is located at the second floor of the building. You have to come through the front door, walk all the way in and turn left, then go upstairs, walk a little bit until you see a sign for Kim Fung, turn right then left and you will find it.

The service was poor and the food was average. The waiter was always sarcastic and forced a 15% tip. Please speak English when entering. They discriminate and bully Chinese speakers. Horrible horrible service. I was very disappointed. Their attitude their service were terrible. If you don t want to ruin your day. Please not go this restaurant.

Staple spot for classic, cart order dim sum.

I visited Kam Fung at lunch today. I like the authentic service style (push cart) of this restaurant. However, the hygiene is really concerning. Both my tea cup and my son s plate was served with left over food crumbs from the previous user. The egg tart had a hair in it. I left with a bad feeling about this place.

Great spot for dim sum with kind and attentive staff! My favourites are the har gow, turnip cakes, and sticky rice in the lotus leaf. Also try the crispy seaweed rolls! They were delicious

We were 4 groups of 2 at the table. People from everywhere. We made the neophytes taste our dim sum dishes. Very friendly people. The food is good, but there was a bit of a lack of variety that day. It remains my favorite dimsum in Montreal

Absolutely horrible experience! Service is zero, only two carts on the floor at lunch hour 12 pm ! By the time the cart reaches your table the food is luke warm or there is nothing left. In the first hour we were only able to get two plates!! I saw four tables nearby get up & leave after 30 + mins of not being served. It took two hours, multiply attempts to order, etc for us to finally get the items we came to eat. While there is lots of management hanging around, waiters acting as busboys cleaning tables, there were only two people with the food carts. You will never see the waiter, after he seats you, until its time to pay. He will then wave the credit card gadget in your face while yelling nonstop Tip 20% or 25% or more Its surreal,. Lastly the places hygiene is horrible. The seat covers are badly stained, the table clothes stained, torn and tattered. No one in their right might mind would use such bad condition table clothes in their home let alone a restaurant. In the end a lousy dimsum meal (no drinks) for two $110.38 (with the mandatory 20% tip) Im aware that running a restaurant is challenging these days, but in this case where there is little effort to serve the client a proper experience, Im comfortable suggesting strongly to avoid this restaurant

Had to have Dim sum

my first impression was not great the floor is dirty, my seat had oil and crumbs, and a couple dishes needed to be swapped out because they were also dirty. the food WAS good i will give them that! it was a bit overpriced, though i suppose everything near old port is. the carts used to bring food out were also wet and unsightly like something you see to stock chicken in grocery stores you don t go to dim sum expecting the keg atmosphere but this place is in serious need of a deep clean and new linens that aren t ripped and stained . the food is genuinely tasty and i would love to come back but i don t want to lose my appetite!

Mixed Experience at Kim Fung Restaurant in Montreal I recently dined at Kim Fung Restaurant in Montreal and wanted to share my honest feedback about my experience. While there were some positive aspects, there were also a few disappointments that affected my overall impression. Firstly, I must mention that the service at Kim Fung was not up to par. The waiter seemed a bit inattentive and it was challenging to get their attention when needed. This lack of attentiveness detracted from the overall dining experience and left me feeling somewhat neglected. Additionally, when the bill arrived, I noticed that the waiter wanted a 15% service charge after taxes. It is worth noting that the standard practice is typically to calculate the service charge based on the pre-tax amount. This discrepancy left me a bit confused and made me question the transparency of their billing practices. While I understand that every establishment has its off days, it is important for restaurants to prioritize consistent and attentive service. I hope that Kim Fung takes this feedback constructively and works towards improving their service quality and billing practices. Overall, my experience at Kim Fung Restaurant was mixed. While the food was enjoyable, the service and billing issue left me with a slightly negative impression. I encourage the management to address these concerns to ensure a more satisfying experience for future customers.

Looking for dumplings or siomai, it s this side of town where you should be having authentic Chinese cuisine. Lots of choices that you wanted to taste each of their special dishes. Kid-friendliness: You can bring the whole family! It is a family oriented dining area.

Had a good time, dumplings are great!

Very authentic dim sum. Even the people were rude like in a real Chinese restaurant. The bathrooms however are disgusting

As an Asian growing up eating Asian cuisine, the standards are unacceptable. The dim sum food is bland, cold, and extremely oily. I lost my appetite eating their food. The highlight of the day was the rude waiter who EXEPCTS to be even tipped despite the absence of any reasonable service. Please stay away if you expect authentic quality Asian food.

Good dim sung, if you want a little brunch to do with friends inexpensively! Very nice lots of variety I recommend doing it in a group

Very good dish...general tao to separate into 2 very large portions

The only Cantonese morning tea restaurant in Montreal with a dining car, a precious time-honored brand! The boss is very amiable, the waiter is also full of human touch, and the atmosphere is great. The last morning tea I had before leaving Montreal was perfect!

Good place for your dim sum craving, affordable and tasty. Choose the items that are coming out from the kitchen to be sure you get your food hot. Do not hesitate to ask for special items that are not available on the food cart!

Very nice and good. Rather varied. Reasonable prices.

Good in general. Very authentic

Delicious! Fast service!

We chose this place as we were trying to find a non-touristy!!!??? Chinese restaurant in China town via this website and looking at the recommendation on my phone. It was a bit difficult trying to find the entrance of the place, as you access it through a business centre serviced probably by Chinese businesses for mainly Chinese diaspora and then take the stairs to the upper level and go towards the south-western corner of the building. We were a bit more dismayed seeing the white cloth covered chairs and tables, normally used for receptions/weddings but checking their menu we found not only stuff that we love but also that their prices are not high compared to similar prices in UK or USA. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and although only 3 table being taken, we noticed by the time we left, there were around 8 table occupied near our window table overlooking a wall, which meant we had a quiet environment and the servers were faster. The food was great, a mix of dim sum, soft shell crab, beef rice etc and noticing how ripped both the table cloths and the menus were, our server told us the owner prefers this for more character!!!

Cleanliness is the focus to continue attracting customers! Need to be renovated. Very disapointed Food : 3/5

I was hungry when I woke up early. I checked Google and found that there was a decent morning tea just four minutes walk from the hotel. It was still open. I left excitedly but came back hungry and disappointed!

The environment is not particularly good, but the taste is okay. It is considered an ordinary morning tea. The barbecued pork rice rolls taste a bit fishy, the taro puff pastry is just average, the shrimp dumplings are quite delicious, and the preserved egg and lean meat porridge is also okay. The service is pretty good. Opening at 8am is a plus.

Kim Fung or Kam Fung? Its a little hard to find for me. you can see the sign of the restaurant on the street but you need to go into the building next to it. all the way in and go upstairs to find it. the food is fine. the waiters are very good, they took care of us carefully and friendly ONLY IN THE BEGINNING. wait until the end when you check out. we give them a tip and they are angry tell us we need to tip about 15% or more. no matter if they ask for it POLITELY AND GENTLY NOT SHOUT IN OUR FACE. my night was ruined. definitely wont come back, very disappointed

Good spot for Dim Sum yummy choices.The prices have gone up,the portions are smaller, still good but too expensive

Best Dim Sum in Chinatown.

Excellent food and service was great but it is expensive.

Way overpriced. I remember when dim sum was an austere meal

Went for morning tea at noon on Friday and it was not full, so there was no need to queue. Traditional cart model, old-school Vietnamese restaurant. There are classic varieties. Tried shrimp dumplings, bean sprouts and shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, yuba chicken rolls, beef rice rolls, and kale. Recommended shrimp dumplings, bean sprouts shrimp dumplings, chicken feet.

My family had been here for several times but the quality of dim sum is just declining but price is not cheap! Hygienic condition is always a concern to me. Their dishes are never thoroughly washed that I always needed to rinse them with hot tea before we ate. Their toilets are always dirty. The only upside is their service and central location. Sadly, there is no quality dim sum place in Montreal so that s why we still come here once in a while, not because it s good but we don t have many choices in Montreal.

We really wanted to love this place despite the lackluster reviews, but our table was dirty upon being seated stains on the tablecloth, along with crumbs, making it obvious that they really did nothing to clean the table after the last party had left. The staff was very friendly, and we received food quickly after being seated. The food, however, was cold, and not especially tasty. I should note we arrived at noon, and one would think the food would be fresh and hot. We were disappointed and didn t spend more than 20 min there.

Really good as usual and great service!

Second time coming here. Was better than last year. Food was very good. Lots of choices. Service have no complaints. That ice water really hit the spot after all the food we ate!

Overall a decent experience. The food is of medium quality but very poor service. Had to get up and get hot sauce and soya sauce off other tables since no waiters ever came to our table.
