Review from Brandon L.

Wow and wow, after many years living in California and Las Vegas, I would have never imagined myself finding a great Chinese restaurant in Montreal, the place where Asian population is not that much.
Tong Por, you proved me wrong. My extended family and I visit the restaurant on Saturday and the place was packed, even though it's a pretty big restaurant. We ordered a bunch of food (salt & pepper lobster, prawn, razor clams, Chinese broccoli beef, and many more.) All the food came out hot and they were all excellence. The razor clam, which I tried for the first time, was nicely cooked and juicy, the lobster and prawns was crispy and not oily at all. Everything was sooooooooooo good, I wanted to keep eating even though I was stuffed.
Want to know what was even more amazing? All that food that fed 15 adults very well only cost less than $250 bucks ( $ 1 CA dollar = $1.10 US dollar). Wow and wow. If I ordered the same thing in California or Las Vegas, it would have been over 400 bucks and the quality wouldn't even be that good.
By the way, Tong Por also served Dim Sum. Their Dim Sum is on the average side. So if you come to Tong Por, go for their menu items. -

We did not want to drive to Chinatown with all the construction going on in Montreal. After searching the web, we found an old article in CyberPresse about Tong Por. We called and they were opened for Dim Sum. Located in the middle of the Little Maghreb area (mosques, etc.), Tor Pong did not stick out. Once in, we found a huge restaurant with loads of tables. When you go eat at a restaurant like Tong Por, it's to share a good table, talk and laugh, read a newspaper, and share these delicious little dumplings. The carts, Hong Kong style, are loaded with delicious bites, the calmars, the tripes and hineycomb, the chicken feet, the shrimp dumplings. Portions are well balanced. The noise level is typical of these sorts of restaurants but you feel confident that the food is super fresh and delicious. We'll be back!
