Dobe & Andy is celebrated for authentic Cantonese barbecue with crowd favorites like roast pork, roast duck and char siu, served in a casual Hong Kong inspired setting that many describe as warm and true to its roots. The menu also offers a solid range of noodles and vegetarian options, with generous portions and prices that many reviewers consider good value. While hospitality and flavor are often praised, a number of visits note uneven service, occasional delays or mistakes and dishes arriving at different times, so a visit can require patience on busy nights though the overall experience remains distinctively tasty and lively.
Tried Dobe & Andy for the first time as I was craving some HK BBQ Meats & there aren't many places around Montreal that offer it. It satisfied the craving but definitely did not feel like it was worth the cost. I ordered 3 meats with Char Siu, Roast Pork, & Soy Chicken.
The menu says it's suppose to come with veggies & egg. The veggies was pickled daikon like you would get at a vietnamese place, & there was no egg. Did I misunderstand the menu?
For $20, it was a bit of a let down. The cuts of meat were super thin slivers, & the roast pork did not have the signature brown crispy skin.
I also ordered a HK Style Milk Tea which unfortunately was also a miss. Definitely felt like the tea was not steeped long enough & there was not enough of the evaporated milk.
Overall was a bit disappointed as I purposely made a trip out specifically to try them.
GREAT Chinese restaurant to go to for an afternoon lunch. I had duck chow mein, bok choy & a 3 meat platter of bbq pork, roasted pork & duck. We also got this amazing hot sauce that I wish I had at home.

Locally famous, I was eager to finally give it a try, & while not disappointing was a bit uneven. On the plus side: huge portions for the price (I got the'Signature Dish' with BBQ duck & Char Siu or BBQ pork shoulder with Lomein noodles) - enough for a second meal as leftovers. The duck (chopped in sections) was meaty, not fatty or full of useless pieces of membrane & bone like you get in many other places. Tender pork with nice crispy crust too. Good chinese broccoli side dish (included).
The less impressive side: the noodles seemed a bit dry & slightly sticky, not very hot. Worse, the entire plate had a very minimal (but very tasty) sauce, not enough to enjoy with the quantity presented. When I asked the server (who was very helpful initially with recommendations but then disappeared, so I had to go find her in front) for more sauce, she didn't seem to know which it was & instead offered me a small to go container of oyster sauce, which wasn't the matching sauce I wanted. Thus the flavor of the dishes was underwhelming.
Glad I took some home to add some sauce of my own! The interior was basic but pleasant. Given how expensive dining is now, the effort to provide good value was appreciated. I just wish the execution that day (it wasn't busy when I was there) was a bit more careful. Would try again.
I don't think I'm going back. I'll go to the other shop on St. Laurent next time. At Dobe & Andy I never eat there, but usually just order a bbq pork to go. The wait time is crazy long. I saw a couple complain & leave the restaurants after not having been served. My very small order took 15 - 20 minutes. Yesterday (Tuesday, March 10 at 4:30 pm), when I purchased a piece of bbq pork - the young man who was working the cash....someone I have never seen before asked for a tip! Also, he forgot to give me the free chopped garlic/green onions. To the owners of the restaurant, train your staff to NOT ask for tips for
those who are just taking things to go. It's not appropriate to say to customers....can I just give you back $35....(he took $2 for himself). Weirdly rude. Also, the price is something like $16 a pound (more expensive than the shop on St Laurent), & Dobe & Andy never show you the weight as their scale is placed far away so that you cannot see...so not sure if it is on the up & up. Typically, a sticker with the weight would/should be tagged on the wrapper/container after it is weighed. All other shops have the scale in front so that customers can at least see the weight.
The food was the low point. The duck noodles & Chinese greens were excellent. The bbq meat plate arrived with everything cold. We literally could not eat it. There is something disconcerting about being served cold sliced duck & chicken. It looked delicious. The Tea arrived Luke warm. Service was no better than average. Hard pass on this place.
An OG of Montreal's Chinese BBQ scene. Straight to the point with quick BBQ on rice platters & Hong Kong drinks. Efforts were made to modernize while still maintaining the nostalgic HK movie vibes.
An honest family run business from a Hong Kongese multi-generational family. Located in a food plaza, the front windows showcase the classic roast duck, crispy & bbq pork.
The inside is decorated with a lot of Bruce Lee in the upper level that overlooks the street of Quebec. The food is authentic Hong Kong food & is delicious. No short cuts were made. The milk tea leaves some to be desired with the flavor & high amount of milk to tea & condensed milk used. The tea does not have a lot of condensed milk to give it sugar.
Very flavorful meat but noodles & rice were a little underwhelming.
As my third time coming to Dobe & Andy, I can say they are obviously well known for their chinese/Cantonese style of BBQ meat that is very flavorful but the rest of the dish falls a bit behind.
Ordered the beef noodle soup with wontons, the garnish was almost like a pho-styke with raw onion & bean sprouts but did complement the soup. The soup is not too salty or fatty, it's decent for a cold day. The noodles & wontons however were lacking in flavor, they use very thin noodles. The wontons had an overwhelming taste of ginger & only 4 or so in my soup. There were 5 moderate slices of braised beef which were good, about 20-30% ratio of fat to lean meat.
I was also asked if I wanted chili oil on the side, & I said yes but did not know it was $1. The chili oil was similar to Lao gan me, quite flavorless & didn't add much to the dish. After tax, I paid 24, which is definitely above average for braised beef wonton noodle soup, so I probably wouldn't get that again.
Overall, decent place for chinese/Cantonese style BBQ meat but don't focus on the rice/noodles as the star.
My experience at this restaurant was borderline comical, nearly Kafkaesque. You should definitely avoid it, especially with so many other good restaurants around. Here's what I experienced:
- My friend ordered the salad as a starter. Then a different server came to take our order, unaware we had already ordered some food. When he learned my friend had ordered the salad, he immediately left without explanation to go speak to the first server. Minutes later he came back to say that salad was no longer on the menu.
- The first server told me that they had run out of chicken (among other things). The second server then told me that, in fact, there was some chicken left & I could order it, so I did. Half an hour later, yet another server - our third of the evening - informed us that actually there was no chicken left after all, & didn't ask if I wanted to order anything else.
- I ordered a salty 7Up. It never arrived.
- It took well over an hour for all of our food a rice, veggie, soup, & bbq duck - to arrive at our table.
- The server didn't know the price of items on the menu like the soup (which replaced the mysterious salad).
Most of the above might be excusable if the food was any good - but it was not. The duck had chewy skin, was very gristly & yet also very dry, & full of bone. Do they not know how to cut meat? Worst hot & sour soup I've ever tried. Vegetable dish was small & expensive.

I used to love ordering from you. Ordered today, half my order was missing. I asked for roast pork & got BBQ pork. Small amounts for the price. You need to pay attention to the details of your online orders. Very disappointed
Food was below average for a place serving traditional Chinese food. BBQ meats platter did not have sufficient flavour & felt plain meaty. Prices are on par & generous portions
This was great, wasn't expecting much honestly, but was craving those Singapore Hawker Centers & it brought me right back. First time I'm having this good of Chinese barbecue in Montreal, both the roasted pork & bbq pork were great. Juicy & flavorful.
