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.
Last time I came here was before COVID. Unfortunately, it's been a disappointment. Used to take the lunch combo. Took the Cantonese chow mein & pork soup noodles.
Cantonese chow mein : they used oyster sauce to make the sauce… big no already. Too salty but not even flavour. Dish was really small for a Chinese dish. There was no'Wok fire' taste at all, felt like cooked at home.
Pork noodles : broth could had a bigger hit of flavour, overall it was ok.
Milk tea was good.
Btw : What happened to all Asian employees ? Even the chef isn't Asian.
@Nathan , you must be sick saying this is Vancouver level food. This is bottom end Montreal level chinese food.
A restaurant giving this kind of quality food in Toronto or in a Asia country would immediately bankrupt lol.

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
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.
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.
Absolutely delicious! We had a great meal. It was our first time so we asked for recommendations & how to eat when the meal arrived. The wait staff was nice & attentionate & offered us great recommendations. 100% delicious & the price was very good. We tried the signature dish, the wonton soup, the spring rolls, hot honey tea & a daily special I don't remember the name of, it was a pho-type broth with braised pork, wontons, onions, noodles & coriander. It was amazing 😊
Very flavorful meat but noodles & rice were a little underwhelming.
As my third time coming to Dobe & Andy, I can say they are obviously well known for their chinese/Cantonese style of BBQ meat that is very flavorful but the rest of the dish falls a bit behind.
Ordered the beef noodle soup with wontons, the garnish was almost like a pho-styke with raw onion & bean sprouts but did complement the soup. The soup is not too salty or fatty, it's decent for a cold day. The noodles & wontons however were lacking in flavor, they use very thin noodles. The wontons had an overwhelming taste of ginger & only 4 or so in my soup. There were 5 moderate slices of braised beef which were good, about 20-30% ratio of fat to lean meat.
I was also asked if I wanted chili oil on the side, & I said yes but did not know it was $1. The chili oil was similar to Lao gan me, quite flavorless & didn't add much to the dish. After tax, I paid 24, which is definitely above average for braised beef wonton noodle soup, so I probably wouldn't get that again.
Overall, decent place for chinese/Cantonese style BBQ meat but don't focus on the rice/noodles as the star.
On s'est arrêté là par hasard! On voulait aller au dim sum au dessus & on a décidé d'essayer ce petit restau au Rez de chaussée qui avait l'air kitch-cool! & waou quelle surprise incroyable: Angela nous a serrer elle était top!
On a pris une grande soupe, du riz chicken soya, des Guilin noodles & un plat signature au canard laqué.. TOUT était tres bon.

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!!!
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.
Unassuming Chinese restaurant specialized in BBQ dishes. Tried their signature dish with BBQ duck & chaw main noodles. Very tasty. Credit card accepted.
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.

This time around, we actually sat & took the time to dine.
Their noodles is something else & this time it was different.
Located inside a building, not hard to find. I'm usually in for these type of food for the price & quality. This place, the quality was not there. Ordered the roasted pork/BBQ pork combo. Roasted pork had more fat than meat, the skin was chewy. BBQ pork is usually moist but it was on the dry side, sauce should've been added but zero was added. Young Chow Fried Rice was the only decent part of the experience.
Je m'attendrais globalement à mieux, entre autres à ce que les viandes soient plus juteuses & savoureuses. Celle que j'ai préférée est le porc BBQ. Le canard ne vaut pas la peine.
On a aussi pris un plat de nouilles guilin qui n'était pas mauvais, mais pour ce genre de plat, vaut mieux aller au Noodle factory.
Our waitress was incredible. Despite us being a little late on our reservation, she was extremely warm towards our group & super enthusiastic. She saw that we were foodies & wanted to taste everything so she took the time to strategize how we would go about our order to maximize the amount of items we could taste.
The food was delicious. We got the 4 meat platter, shrimp & duck fried rice, chilli wonton noodles, duck chow main, veg of the day & soup. Everything was delicious.
I highly recommend this place & serious kudos to our waitress for being such a rockstar & providing authentically warm & enthusiastic service to our table.
