Review Summary

Restaurant Ethan is widely recognized in Montreal Chinatown for offering a broad menu of authentic Cantonese-style cuisine at very affordable prices with generous portion sizes. While many visitors appreciate the quick service, cozy atmosphere, and great value for a casual meal, opinions remain divided regarding the overall experience. Some patrons highlight the efficiency and friendliness of the staff, while others report inconsistent food quality and express frustration over aggressive tipping practices or impolite service. The dining environment is often described as dated or simple, but for those seeking a convenient and budget-friendly spot for staples like dumplings, BBQ meats, or bubble tea, it remains a popular and frequently visited destination.

Great taste, portions, & price. Food was very fresh & came out quickly. I ended up changing my itinerary to eat here every night during my trip to Montreal.

Établissement choisi par hasard. Un grand choix de plats. Ceux que nous avons commandé étaient très bons & copieux. Le service était satisfaisant. Rien à redire. Si nous habitions à Montréal, je pense que nous y reviendrions.

The hostess told my friend & I we were too big to sit in a booth. We insisted anyways & we fit perfectly fine.
We felt very judged & body shamed. Good food but I would never go back

Le service est rapide & poli.
La nourriture est bonne. Nous avons pris un poulet sauce arachides, des crevettes panées sel & poivre, c'était délicieux. Une bonne place si vous êtes pressés

I was recommended by Little Red Book & tried the stir-fried beef noodles. The whole flavor is okay but super salty. Can't recommend this dish. The waitress is a bit indifferent.

I saw a kitchen helper picking their nose at the door. The food is okay. If you order BBQ, congee, & wonton noodles, you can see the kitchen. But others dishes are cook by some non Chinese chefs.

The food is amazing, great portion for a very fair price (we were five people & ordered about 9 plates, went down to 19$ each excluding the tip), everything tasted delicious. Not the cleanest restaurant but it's no bother. The service is very fast & the staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend a d go again!

We were lucky enough to choose this restaurant for lunch today. Had the duck meal for four & it was a true banquet! The salt & pepper shrimp were amazing, all of the dishes that came were delicious. We eat a lot of Chinese food in various locations & can say this meal was excellent. Our other daughter had #150 sliced pork & duck soup with noodles & she was very pleased. If we are ever in Montreal again we will be sure to stop in. Also the meal came out much quicker than expected. Wait staff was pleasant.
