Our best Chinese restaurant in Montreal great service amazing tasting food
What guests say about Szechuan
Very mixed reviews for Szechuan in Montreal: many customers find the food delicious and the service excellent, with dishes often enjoyed as sharing plates. However, a few comments mention delays, inconsistent dishes, or food that is too salty, and the value for money is seen as variable. Two recent reviews also mention a minimum spending requirement that felt unwelcoming.
Reviews / Ratings for Szechuan
Mr.Ma & Irene are amazing. I tell everyone that it's the best restaurant in Montreal.
My family and I came to this restaurant expecting a pleasant dining experience and only wanted to order some soup and appetizers. Instead, we were told there was a mandatory minimum spend of $35 per person, which was absolutely ridiculous and never mentioned beforehand. Rather than feeling welcomed, we felt pressured to spend more money just to stay. The staff were unaccommodating, and the whole experience left a terrible impression on us. We were so disappointed and uncomfortable that we decided to leave without ordering anything. Definitely not a place I would recommend.
I’m visiting Montreal and decided to try Szechuan par Mr Na, and honestly, I regret even walking in. First off, they hit us with a minimum $35 per person rule — which would’ve been fine if the place actually delivered anything close to that value. But before we could even properly order or settle in, we were basically rushed and then straight-up asked to leave. Like… what? The whole vibe felt unwelcoming and borderline hostile, like they didn’t want customers unless you were there to drop cash immediately without question. No effort to explain, no courtesy, just attitude. For a restaurant that sets expectations that high, you’d think they’d at least treat guests with basic respect. Instead, it felt like we were an inconvenience for showing up. Montreal has so many great food spots — this is definitely not one of them. Avoid.
Szechuan par Mr Ma was fantastic. A real gem! The food was delicious and we were given excellent service. Our favourite place.
Amazing food and even better people! They are super friendly and provide excellent service. This is hands down the best Chinese food in Montreal, and the rice is simply out of this world
Delivery: Really enjoyed my lamb with cumin but at 40, it was pretty overpriced. The peanut butter dumplings were good dumplings but the sauce was just okay, kinda salty. My friend enjoyed her General Tao combo.
What a treat. From the dumplings to the shrimp toasts to the Mongolian orange beef- everything was delicious. Add to that a nice ambiance and fabulous staff- 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend (especially for groups because you can share more dishes). Thank you very much!
I came to this restaurant with my family to have a nice dinner to start 2026 on a positive note. The food took a long time to arrive. The fried rice was very average, the crispy noodles were drenched in oil and the seafood was not evenly cooked. We asked for a beef with vegetables, the meat was not cooked and it was very hard. I was very disappointed because I had been there in the past and the food was much better.
