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.
A long-established spot in Chinatown that many locals know well. Famous for roast pork & roast duck, especially the roast duck noodles. Authentic Chinese flavors. Upstairs seating offers a great view of the street enjoy hot noodles with Hong Kong style milk tea while watching snowfall in winter or golden leaves in autumn. A true Hong Kong experience in the heart of Montreal.

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.
First timers in Montreal & amazed at the variety & quality of restaurants. I'm from Richmond, BC, where we have the best Chinese food but this restaurant exceeds most of the wonton places I've been to.
The roast pork is crispy & comes with ginger & onion sauce which makes eating pork belly less indulgent! The Cantonese chow mein is tasty & comes with plenty of ingredients. I asked for xtra crispy noodles & it came perfectly. The cup of steamed rice seemed like a bowl. It was overflowing!
The 2 ladies serving were hustling & bustling. They were attentive, efficient & friendly!
The prices were also very fair. This restaurant is a must try when in Chinatown!!!
Ce resto vaut le détour. Aucun resto dans le Chinatown se rapproche pour ce qui est du service. Souriants, accommodants, les serveurs.es vous accueillent les bras ouverts. Côté bouffe, les viandes rôties au bbq sont délicieuses & les prix sont vraiment abordable. Il faudrait p-ê améliorer l'offre des légumes pour accompagner ces viandes. Aussi, s'ils ouvraient jusqu'à très tard, ce serait le spot après clubbing.

Dobe & Andy est LE restaurant que je vais depuis plus de 20ans. J'y allais chaque matin/midi jusqu'au Covid / ish = il y a 5-7 ans. Le menu était authentique & c'était le seul restaurant du Chinatown où ont pouvait manger Hong Kong style, le vrai.
Non seulement je suis déçue car le menu à changé, mais il n'y a plus rien d'authentique.
Hier j'ai voulue y donner un dernier essai!
J'ai commandé le Mapo tofu & le « Ho fun au boeuf » Je suis réellement déçue de la qualité & du goût de la nourriture.
Au lieu de changer le menu & I guess les cuisiniers, il aurait dû focuser sur des rénovations mais rester authentique comme ça avait toujours été! Le restaurant de mon enfance est maintenant rendus un restaurant pour les gens qui ne connaissent pas la vrai bouffe !
Ça me brise le coeur de laisser un mauvais avis, mais quelqu'un doit leurs dire… En espérant peut-être qu'ils revoient la qualité & le goût des plats & qu'ils remettent des vrais plats « chinois » pour que je puisse y retourner comme avant !
From a Chinese person's perspective, the restaurant is disappointing given the overall ratings. Limited menu, long wait for food (although they may have forgotten about our order & comped us an iced tea). Didn't mind the atmosphere as it would be what's expected in Chinatown.
The wonton noodles weren't great. The chow mein was fried a bit too much & noodles were used were too thin to be fried so much. The best part of the meal was the iced lemon tea.
Great place to go in Chinatown. The food is great (although my roast duck did have a lot of bones). The wonton soup is a must have. It's large enough for 2-3 people to share & comes with 4 wontons. It has a great onion flavor. My favorite of the meats is the roast pork - which is really pork belly with crispy skin. Even in soup the skin stays crispy. The char sui is also very good. They also have a very refreshing Hong Kong Lemon Iced Tea. The restaurant itself is tucked away & there is often a line. The line can be long, but it moves fast. Once seated, the service is very rushed & uneven. They usually only have two servers for the whole restaurant who also clean & prepare some parts of orders. I ordered the roast pork one time but the server messed up the order & brought char sui - lesson learned, triple check your order with them. You also might need to flag down your server. If you get there too late they usually run out of the more popular items & what they have when you sit down might not be what they have when you order. Because of the short staff, the tables & chairs are not always cleaned properly.

Foodie treasure in Chinatown Casual dining for locals & tourists alike, & the best roasted meats around We always have the roast pork, served either in a soup with noodles or on rice They also have delicious roasted duck & pork char sui You gotta try this place if you're downtown & need some great food It's perfect before a show or a walk thru the Quartier des Spectacles
Great value here, especially if you get their 2 or 3 meat combo. Pork dishes are on the fattier side but they are indisputably tasty. Their roast duck can't be boneless but the staff was nice enough to make sure I had a "meatier" portion. They had chili oil if you want a bit of spice too. Overall great spot in Chinatown!
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!
This is my go-to spot in Chinatown. The place has a nice, old-school vibe with OG Hong-Kong cinema posters. The BBQ meat is incredible, I highly recommend the Char Siu pork!!!
