Dobe & Andy is widely recognized as a go-to destination in Montreal for authentic Hong Kong-style barbecue, with many patrons praising the flavorful char siu, crispy roast pork, and signature duck dishes. While most diners appreciate the generous portions, affordable pricing, and nostalgic, retro atmosphere, experiences with service and consistency can vary significantly. Frequent visitors often highlight the scallion oil and house-made sauces as standout elements, though some note occasional issues with food temperature, portion sizes, or communication. Despite mixed feedback regarding recent changes to the menu and service efficiency, the restaurant remains a beloved staple for those seeking comforting, traditional Cantonese cuisine.
DO NOT GO People! It's no longer the authentic Cantonese BBQ restaurant after they changed owner/chef. Big disappointment in the drop of food quality, we tried all four meats: charsiu is super fat, soy chicken has weird taste, duck comes cold & without plum sauce, & roasted pork came cold & not crispy at all!! Also much smaller portion in meat comparing to before… steam rice was okay but lowmein is overcooked & not'al dente. & the price went more expensive than Chinese bbq restaurant in New York, is it a joke?? only improvement: better attitude from non-Chinese waiter/tress, but also much slower in serving food.
This review is for the Dobe & Andy in Timeout Market. I ordered the Fried Rice Supreme for $19 with additional Pork Char Siu for $6. The combination was excellent. Next time I would order some sauce for $3 extra. It was a bit dry. But probably the best fried rice & porc char siu in Montreal.
ate at Doby's & Andy for lunch at Time Out market. crispy pork with chinese broccoli & 3$ extra for small portion of soggy noodles instead of rice. Very small portion in takeaway container. noodles tasted like nothing. crispy pork was good but only 5 small pieces. 27$ including 15% tip for one of the worst meals I have eaten this decade!

Dobe & Andy- a classic Chinese roast meats institution in Montreal.
As someone who needs a rice fixing at least once a week when traveling, I've been to Dobe & Andy every time I've been to Montreal, totaling 6+ times over the last 4 years. So my review is one part a love letter to the scallion oil that combines with the fattiness of the roast meats, & one part nostalgia.
If you come here, you are here for the meat platter. Char siu is solid, chicken is solid, roast pork belly is the standout. Duck skin is inconsistently crispy, but has never been underseasoned. With the scallion oil, any combination with the roast pork will hit the spot.
The other rice & noodle dishes are solid as well. We're here for the classic roast meats & classic Chinese dishes, not creative culinary takes. Dobe & Andy hits exactly the right spot- that of a weary traveler looking for a meal to reset the brain & stomach.
Bathroom can be difficult, as you need a key to access the stalls located in a separate part of the building.
Special shoutout to Ricky, who made our last visit memorable. Always relaxed & friendly service.
Finally visited the famous Dobe & Ande & when I first saw the menu I was underwhelmed. But then I ordered something really simple & was simple blown away! The menu says choose a meat & then choose some form of noodles or rice. What you get is just perfect in terms of flavor balance. Had the char siu with noodles ♥? That scallion sauce is insane! Order extra ahead of time, thank me later.
An OG of Montreal's Chinese BBQ scene. Straight to the point with quick BBQ on rice platters & Hong Kong drinks. Efforts were made to modernize while still maintaining the nostalgic HK movie vibes.
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.
