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.
Overall taste is good especially the crispy pork but the service is a bit lacking if welcome & Asking Clients what they want .. I am a bit lost where to order..
it would be much better if the plate adds more gravy sauce so that it won't be so dry to eat with meat 🍖
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.

Ça fait du bien de voir un resto Chinois un peu modernisé, la cuisine est bonne cependant j'ai accroché sur la sauce piquante payante & le pourboire sur les taxes.
Notre serveuse était impeccable!
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.
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.
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.
Service was excellent, staff was super nice with showing us our options & providing us with water while we waited for our take out order. Portion was amazing, we ordered 1/2 & 1 pound of the pork shoulder (top) & pork belly (bottom). i love that the cuts arent too fatty & it's not too salty either. green onion sauce was also amazing
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.
J'ai commandé un plat de canard pour emporter! J'avais lu des bons avis mais franchement j'ai trouvé mon repas pas mangeable. Très déçu du goût, la sauce était pas bonne & normalement je raffole du canard, mais ce repas c'était vraiment pas bon & c'était ma première fois dans ce resto & sûrement la dernière
