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.
Food so good, i forgot to take a picture before eating half of my plate. Come here if you don't care about presentation & just want a delicious meal on the cheap!
The meats are great, definitely better than surrounding places. However that's pretty much all that's good. The fried rice was the worst I've ever had, super bland & greasy. The noodles were mid too. Would still return for the meat though, will just stick to white rice next time.

Love this place!! Low key, really good food & great prices! Took my girls there for my birthday & we all had a good time. Cute waitress gave us a great service 😊 highly recommended!!
Aside from the cha siu pork, which was juicy & tender, I would not recommend this if you want authentic Cantonese cuisine. The soy sauce chicken was cold & the skin was slimy. The fried rice was small in size & its taste was reminiscent of Panda Express. Prices were reasonable.
I'm disappointed to post this review as I'd like to support this restaurant & gave it several opportunities to find a customer for life. First off, I would say I visited half a dozen times previously with mixed results including closed without notice, & out of bbq meat by 6pm. My most recent visit will likely be my last try. I rsvp'd (through Instagram & confirmed with the person running their Instagram) for a special dinner offered for Chinese new year. The menu sounded delicious & I invited friends & family to come along. When we arrive, we're informed that they are sold out of all the dishes that were part of the special menu & were not even aware of our reservation. The hostess was very apologetic & offered a slight discount on our meal. We should've walked out because the food that followed was not worth the hassle. More brown gravy than food, more rice than any other component, each dish was a disappointment. Worst example: We ordered eggplant & beef, a pretty traditional Chinese dish. We got 2 pieces of eggplant to share across 6 people, & probably a handful of pieces of beef. Add 2 cups of plain brown gravy & a bowl of rice for $20. I rarely leave bad reviews. But I wouldn't want others to be blindsided like we were.

We were downtown Montréal & my family wanted Chinese food. I really did not want food that I could eat at home But, I am so happy we went to Dobe & Andy Chinese restaurant. The food was amazing & our waitress ( Zoe) was incredible & very knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were on point. The barbecue meats are so good. If you are in Montréal, don't miss this restaurant. Thank you, ~ Zoe
Great food at great prices. Serves beer by the pint which is nice. Friendly staff. Went on a busy Saturday night during lunar year year, things were hectic, staff was friendly & apologetic. Nice to see a legacy restaurant so crowded.
