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.

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.

This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants! The food is tasty, the prices are very reasonable, & it's always a reliable stop whenever I'm nearby. My favorite dishes include the flavorful beef noodles, rice with sweet & sour pork chops, & a refreshing glass of Hong Kong milk tea or a delicious red bean dessert - simply perfect.

Located right in the heart of Chinatown, it's the ideal spot to enjoy a great meal while watching the lively, bustling street life outside. Always a fun & satisfying experience - highly recommended!

This place is just incredible. High quality food, I went with four people & between us our 6 dishes came hot, top quality, & in under 10 minutes. The prices are absolutely insane - 18 fried dumplings for about $10, 10 spring rolls for $7 - SO good! I can't recommend this place more.

Gave an old Chinese restaurant We landed in Montreal & found this restaurant because my friends were craving for duck. We ordered some other dishes. In general, food was fine but I'd not come back if I crave for Chinese food

An authentic Chinese food restaurant with quick service, delicious dishes, & plenty of options to choose from. The review rating doesn't do this place justice! Highly recommend.

Visited this Chinese cantonese restaurant because we we searching for a place to warm up with some good hot soup. We ordered chicken corn soup & the beef soup with a side of crispy spring rolls:). Both were excellent! We also ordered the chicken fried rice, broccoli chicken, chow mein, we enjoyed all dishes the General taos chicken could have been crispier but it wasn't bad. Overall we had a nice experience. Ambiance was decent however the restroom could have used some attention. One staff member should be dedicated to this. Will visit again when in Montreal!

your typical hong kong style cafe- fast easy food when you're on the go. cannot speak for the main dishes, but the sesame balls were delicious (bought them 3 times) - you cannot beat the price of 20 pieces for CA $6.95!

The dishes were well served & they offered a good value for what they charge. The bouef with broccoli was the highlight, really delicious. If you are walking in Chinatown & you are not willing to not spend much, this place is worth a shot. The service was good & the Staff really polite.

More affordable place. Has some dishes I like that I can't find elsewhere. People at the cash register not too friendly, & can be rude. No 4 or 5 stars because of this.
