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.

Food was good, & our server was great. The price was good, choose individual portions we fed 4 of us for under $50 with tip!
The restaurant is meh, old dirty (ish) but I expect that in an old downtown Chinese restaurant. I would definitely eat here again.

While visiting China town this place became my go-to for lunch. Ended up visiting multiple times & trying different delicious Chinese dishes. Thank you nice waitress who even advised me to fix my sitting posture & told me I am pretty.

The food was satisfying & met expectations. As with many Chinese restaurants, I didn't expect five-star service, so that wasn't a concern. While the portions were a bit smaller than at other places, the main issue was hygiene-specifically, the utensils, which had some visible food stains & overheard the family next table found a hair. That aside, I'd still consider coming back for a simple & familiar Chinese meal.

Little Chinese restaurant in chinatown with over 150 choices on the menu. Also serving Bbq duck & pork. Service is extremely fast. Received all my food within 10 minutes of ordering. Prices are very affordable! Probably, not the best in chinatown, but definitely worth a try. 8.2/10
