Dobe & Andy is widely celebrated as a premier destination in Montreal Chinatown for authentic Cantonese barbecue, with many diners praising the exceptional quality of their signature char siu, roast pork, and duck. The generous portions, flavorful scallion ginger oil, and comforting wonton noodle soup frequently stand out as highlights, making it a go-to spot for both quick lunches and large group feasts. While experiences vary regarding service speed and dining atmosphere, many patrons appreciate the warm, welcoming, and helpful nature of the staff, noting that the restaurant offers great value and a nostalgic, no-frills Hong Kong vibe that keeps them coming back.
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.
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 👏🏽 🙏🏼
Went here this weekend & it was amazing! We got the fried rice with wanton soup & both were absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back & try more dishes here
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!!!
It's difficult to justify eating anywhere else if I find myself in the area. Porc (2 ways) on white rice with their scallion sauce is enough to make my day!
