Reviews present Dobe & Andy as a long standing Montreal Chinatown favorite for Chinese BBQ with standout roast pork and char siu and a Hong Kong vibe, offering generous portions and generally good value. The duck is praised by some for flavor but others find it dry or not as crunchy, and a few dishes arrive lukewarm or with inconsistent quality. The Guilin noodles, wonton soup, bok choy with scallion sauce, and milk tea are often highlighted, while service can be fast and friendly or slow and disorganized on busy nights with missed items. Overall the restaurant is seen as authentic and comforting with strong flavors and nostalgic atmosphere, though some reviews note changes in menu and quality that affect consistency.
Habituellement, leur spécialité est le canard laqué & le porc grillé. Ils sont normalement les meilleurs de chinatown !!! Aujourd'hui, je suis allée faire un emporter & j'ai été plutôt déçue! Canard pas aussi bon que d'habitude & le char-siu sec donc je vous conseillerai de regarder la gueule de la Rôtisserie a l'extérieur côté vitrine avt de commander les yeux fermés en pensant qu'a 500%, ce sera tjs bon car vous pouvez être déçue comme moi. 😔 En espérant qu'avec l'arrivée du nouvel an chinois, ils sauront assurés de nouveau.
One of my most favorite places to eat in Montreal whenever I come visit. The char siu & fried belly pork are to die for. I recently came back from Hong Kong & must say that they even do it better than the origin. I wish I lived in Montreal, luckily I'm only a short flight away. The milk tea & lemon iced tea both taste very authentic as well.
The server, Angela was lovely & kind. I will be back whenever I can.
great bang for buck & best char siu I've had in montreal! I recommend ordering a two meat + rice combo with a noodles to split between three people, you'll be very full after.
My favorite place to eat Chinese food in Montreal! All their meat options are delicious, we usually order the two-meat plate with char siu pork & chicken & its amazing every time. Service is very standard, nothing special, & the place has a charming, weathered appearance - lots of old movie posters. A little grungy but the food really makes up for it. We love ordering take out!
Cons
- Dry charsiu BBQ pork.
- Took 15 mins to bring us a rice plate that had precooked pork. People who came after got the same food first.
- Wonton soup was way too salty. The wontons themselves tasted like they had been frozen for a long time.
Pros:
- Kinda cheap
- Roasted pork was tasty with crispy skin & not too fatty

Meilleur restaurant du quartier chinois de Montréal. J'ai beaucoup aimé le char siu il est de très bonne qualité, le porc grillé qui était un peu gras mais très bon à mon goût, ainsi que les nouilles chow mein. J'y ai mangé une fois sur place, le service était rapide & le personnel aimable. Mais la plupart du temps, je prends à emporter. Les prix restent corrects & les quantités sont assez généreuses.
For a restaurant that claims to be authentic I'm pretty disappointed. Roasted pork shouldn't look remotely like this. Nobody sells roasted pork like this in HK. The skin & the pork are all separated. Not to mention the skins were not crispy at all, if any. The char siu is too "lean", this sort of char siu is generally used for char siu spaghetti soup (叉燒湯意) in HK, but not in rice meals. The ginger & scallion sauce is fine though.

Nice hole in the wall place. Relaxed atmosphere, kinda kitschy with posters & pictures of Bruce Lee on the wall. FANTASTIC char siu. Best I've ever had.
Very nice & simple restaurant, serving traditionnal & modern hong kong style food. Fast & amazing service too! Highlights : - Char Siu Pork - Crispy roast pork belly - Well Seasoned fried chicken! They kept to same retro style as the old restaurant (it was a chinese noodle before) & it brings out some childhood memories ♥️
We went there on a Friday night, around 7h00 pm. I was expecting a big crowd, but it was pleasantly calm to see we didn't have to wait long (less 5 min) to get a table. The waitress was friendly & welcoming. Compared to other asian restaurants in Chinatown, the staff speaks excellent french/english. Decor has pretty cool vibe, mostly inspired from Bruce Lee & other movies/videogames from the 90's. Restaurant was ok in term of cleanliness, I have seen much worse in Chinatown. The menu is not extensive, but has enough items to please most crowds. We were a party of two, & we decide to take a speciality combo : Fried rice + combination of 3 meats (roasted pork, char Siu, & duck). The rice was very tasty, had that charred flavor that only a wok under gas grill can accomplish. A bit greasy (watch out diet followers), but that is to be expected. - Char Siu : very good, the meat was juicy & delicious. Maybe I would have liked a bit more browned/cooked on the exterior, but overall very good. - Roasted pork : the crispy skin is umamic! Meat was juicy, not dried at all. Maybe the best meat of all 3. Wished we had a bit more of this one! - Duck : less crispy skin than the roasted pork but still very good. The meat was slightly dried, but the taste was there. There was also green onion sauce with ginger, & pickled vegetables on the side, which were appreciated. It costs us 20$ + tip, & we have enough food for 2. Probably one of the best value for money in Chinatown. The only downside (& major upside) is that it's located inside a building. Not on Viger street. So you gotta know where to go. Takeout is also possible. Overall, the food was better than most of Chinatown restaurants where I've been, & it has an exceptional value for money. Will certainly go back. Perfect to bring a date, while showing your foodie personality!
First time trying char siu & man was I not disappointed. Roasted pork is also amazing. You can feel the love these guys put into their food. I ordered on Uber Eats & the food arrived cold & IT WAS STILL SO GOOD. So I can't even imagine how godlike their food must be when it's hot eating at their restaurant. I'm a fan & I will be seeing you guys soon in your establishment. Cheers.
