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.
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.

The food is not what it used to be. The other day i went to Dobe & andy with my family & we all ordered the classic dish that we've been ordering for the last 10 years : egg noodle soup with char siu. It used to be such a comforting & flavourful dish. Now, it's tasteless. The portion has diminished but i understand with inflation. However the broth tasted like water there were no ginger notes, no garlicky taste, truly disappointing. I really hope it goes back to what it was because there aren't any other broths better than the ones i've tasted at dobe & andy
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.
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

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.
