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.
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.
Very overcrowded & the food was incredibly bland, the'broth' seemed like a mix of water & a bit of salt, overall terrible. The duck didn't taste bad but it had massive bones so the meat wasn't even worth it. It's insane it was even crowded in the first place. The drinks never arrived.
The food was so awfully bland I decided to take it home & season it myself since 16 dollars was already a punch on the face. Literally just flavorless noodles in water & oil with a few stalks of long broccoli. The'signature' dish part is still a mystery to me of how it would even become a signature. I took it to go & then they gave me an inappropriate container which leaked the entire way home. Absolute disaster & I don't recommend people to come here.
The tables are so close to each other that you'll be lucky not to get a headache while listening to the sound of multiple people around you.
They serve really good portions, it was difficult for us to eat everything. The dishes have good taste, but probably I was having more expectations just by seeing the duck at the entrance. We were looking for the best duck & we asked to Gemini for the recommendation. We aren't sure if this is the best one but I was expecting a more crunchy flavo
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.
We had the Guilin noodles, plate of 3 meats - Char sui, duck, pork belly, & bok choy. Our favourite was the char sui & the bok choy!! We found the pork belly just to be meh though.
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.
lived up to the praise I'd heard.
The experience was great, with a menu that feels confident rather than showy. Everything was well-executed, but the duck stood out in particular-rich, balanced, & memorable. A genuinely enjoyable meal & a place I'm glad to have finally discovered for myself.
Food & beer is overpriced.
The wait time for the food is way too long for the cold mess & sorry excuse of a meal they put before you. The staff is disorganized, they made a mistake with my friend's order.
Absolutely ridiculous. Never knew about this restaurant & wish I could go back to that time. The only reason why I don't give it one star is because the establishment is somewhat decently well decored & clean.
P.S : My friends & I burped & farted the most necrotic smell for the whole evening after ... By god! What in the hell do they put in that duck & rice?!

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.
Amazing experience at Dobe & Andy & it's all thanks to the staff there. Alex, Iola & Derf (I might have gotten the spelling a bit off here) were extremely hospitable & even helped us lower our bill!
We'd initially ordered 4 plates with 3 meats each but Alex went out of his way to come over to our table & explain to us that getting a half portion of duck & 2 sides of rice would be cheaper & still give us roughly the same amount of food we were ordering which was extremely thoughtful.
The food was so good that we came back for round 2 on a 3 day visit to Montreal.
I will say that some of the other reviews made us a bit apprehensive about visiting but we decided to roll the dice & I'm so glad we did! Would highly recommend visiting the place for the casual ambience, top tier hospitality & amazing food.
Kudos to Alex & the rest of the team for showing us such a good time, thank you all 👏🏽 🙏🏼
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.
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.

Unassuming Chinese restaurant specialized in BBQ dishes. Tried their signature dish with BBQ duck & chaw main noodles. Very tasty. Credit card accepted.
Dobe & Andy makes some of the best Chinese BBQ I've had in Montreal. The roast duck is crispy & flavorful, the pork is tender, & every dish feels like it's made with real care. For those who know, this is HK comfort food at its best.
The vibe is low-key & friendly, & the food comes out fast. It's the kind of spot you think about days later & end up going back to without even planning it.
Love this place since day one!
Anytime I am around I can't but stop by. The food is the best & affordable. Portions are super generous. The duck & the pork are delicious. A must try!
