Dobe & Andy is widely recognized as a staple for authentic Cantonese barbecue in Montreal, with many patrons praising the flavorful char siu, crispy roast pork, and succulent roast duck. While long-time fans often celebrate the restaurant for its nostalgic atmosphere and consistent quality, recent reviews indicate a divide in experiences regarding service efficiency and food consistency. Supporters frequently highlight the generous portions and the signature scallion sauce, while others have expressed concerns over rising prices, variable meat temperatures, and occasional service lapses. Despite mixed opinions on recent changes, many visitors continue to frequent the establishment for its classic Hong Kong style dishes and welcoming staff, cementing its reputation as a significant culinary destination in Chinatown.
We were in town for a week for a swim meet & I was chaperoning a group of 11 16-17 yr olds. On the first night the kids ordered their own plates for pick up. & they loved it. It is hard to find places that can feed a growing teenager with one plate, & Dobe & Andy did it. The kids loved their Char Siu, Pork Belly & BBQ duck & wanted more.
Special shout out to Alex who helped me organize our catering order, making sure we have a variety of dishes besides the meats. Alex does such an amazing job in the authentic Cantonese barbecue, juicy, tender & flavourful. We absolutely enjoyed our meals.
DO NOT GO People! It's no longer the authentic Cantonese BBQ restaurant after they changed owner/chef. Big disappointment in the drop of food quality, we tried all four meats: charsiu is super fat, soy chicken has weird taste, duck comes cold & without plum sauce, & roasted pork came cold & not crispy at all!! Also much smaller portion in meat comparing to before… steam rice was okay but lowmein is overcooked & not'al dente. & the price went more expensive than Chinese bbq restaurant in New York, is it a joke?? only improvement: better attitude from non-Chinese waiter/tress, but also much slower in serving food.
Dobe & Andy is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal! Every dish is packed with flavor, the portions are generous, & the service is always warm & efficient.
If you're visiting for the first time, don't miss their BBQ pork (char siu)-it's perfectly caramelized, tender, & incredibly flavorful. Their crispy roast pork has amazingly crunchy skin with juicy meat, & the roast duck is rich, succulent, & a must-order. The wonton noodle soup is another standout, featuring springy noodles, delicate wontons, & a comforting, savory broth.
Everything tastes fresh & authentic, making it easy to see why this place is always busy. Whether you're craving Cantonese barbecue or a comforting bowl of noodles, Dobe & Andy consistently delivers. Highly recommended but needs improvement with the waiting time.

Wifey says best Cantonese chowmein she's ever had. I finally got to have my plate of charsiu & duck. & good to know my boys love shrimp & lobster sauce.
This review is for the Dobe & Andy in Timeout Market. I ordered the Fried Rice Supreme for $19 with additional Pork Char Siu for $6. The combination was excellent. Next time I would order some sauce for $3 extra. It was a bit dry. But probably the best fried rice & porc char siu in Montreal.
I've tried a lot of Chinese restaurants in Montreal & this one is far the best one for Char Siu & Beef Hofun Noodles. It was so good that we went back twice in a row.
Dobe & Andy- a classic Chinese roast meats institution in Montreal.
As someone who needs a rice fixing at least once a week when traveling, I've been to Dobe & Andy every time I've been to Montreal, totaling 6+ times over the last 4 years. So my review is one part a love letter to the scallion oil that combines with the fattiness of the roast meats, & one part nostalgia.
If you come here, you are here for the meat platter. Char siu is solid, chicken is solid, roast pork belly is the standout. Duck skin is inconsistently crispy, but has never been underseasoned. With the scallion oil, any combination with the roast pork will hit the spot.
The other rice & noodle dishes are solid as well. We're here for the classic roast meats & classic Chinese dishes, not creative culinary takes. Dobe & Andy hits exactly the right spot- that of a weary traveler looking for a meal to reset the brain & stomach.
Bathroom can be difficult, as you need a key to access the stalls located in a separate part of the building.
Special shoutout to Ricky, who made our last visit memorable. Always relaxed & friendly service.
Finally visited the famous Dobe & Ande & when I first saw the menu I was underwhelmed. But then I ordered something really simple & was simple blown away! The menu says choose a meat & then choose some form of noodles or rice. What you get is just perfect in terms of flavor balance. Had the char siu with noodles ♥? That scallion sauce is insane! Order extra ahead of time, thank me later.
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.
