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.

A very casual Chinese spot, with very cheap eats & average food. While they offer a wide variety to satiate the Chinese food urge, I can't say it is of the best quality. For a tourist visiting Montreal, I would have preferred a higher quality experience with actual recipes. The General Tao chicken, for example, seemed merely to be a plate of bulk chicken nuggets doused in sauce. The dumplings just tasted like bulk frozen dumplings & lazily fried. I'd say this place is probably good for take out or hangover Asian food, but not necessarily worth an intentional visit for a sit down meal.

Very cheap eat. Typical Chinese foods Good price point, comparing to other restaurants nowadays. Bubble tea for $3 Dumpling for $6 Small soup $3 Taste: average Price: very cheap Location: good, easy to find Service: typical Chinese restaurant Atmosphere: just like other Chinese restaurants. Taste: bland but easy to eat The server can communicate but not very well. I'm ok with this place, when I'm in town & looking for easy Chinese food, this is my go-to.
