Review Summary

Restaurant Ethan is widely recognized in Montreal's Chinatown for offering a broad selection of authentic Cantonese dishes, including popular items like Peking Duck, dumplings, and various noodle plates. Many patrons praise the establishment for its generous portions, rapid service, and exceptionally affordable prices, making it a reliable destination for a quick and casual meal. While the dining environment is often described as simple, dated, or busy, many guests find it adds to the traditional atmosphere reminiscent of Hong Kong eateries. Feedback on service and food quality is notably varied, as some diners appreciate the friendly and efficient staff, while others report inconsistent seasoning, occasional hygiene concerns, or dismissive attitudes. Despite these mixed experiences, the restaurant remains a frequent go to for those seeking value, though visitors are encouraged to manage expectations regarding fine dining service.

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.

Les critiques très négatives de ce restaurant sont exagérées (j'ai hésité entre 3 & 4 étoiles). Le service est rapide & efficace, oui c'est sur c'est pas chaleureux comme le reste de Montreal mais c'est la Chine là mon pote. Certains plats sont très bons (dumplings avec la sauce sah c'est bon, voir photo), d'autres sont juste bon mais sans plus (la majorité je pense), les légumes sont parfois pas assez cuits (poivron). C'est pas incroyable mais c'est pas chère & si vous avez une grande faim les options pour deux sont très copieuses (avis de gros mangeurs). La Sapporo à 8$ par contre on repassera. Est ce que j'y retournerai ? Non faut pas déconner tout de même mais pour une soirée c'est sympa. Si t'as kiffe l'avis hésite pas à t'abonner & à liker pour d'autres avis croustillants sur la ville de Montréal t'entends.

Tried this restaurant while walking in Chinatown as it looked busy inside. BIG MISTAKE not taking a look at reviews first to see the low ratings. We ordered the combo A for two & added 10 pieces of dumplings as it is very reasonably priced. The combo includes soup, chicken, fried rice, vegetables, egg roll. It was a red flag when the general tso's chicken came out 1 min after ordering - the chicken was luke warm so I think they have it pre made as its a popular dish part of many combos. For those who say this is authentic Chinese food, it is definitely not. It's westernized fast food Chinese that is average at best. We were brought vegetables & multiple servers were yelling beside our table & across the restaurant that they messed up our table number & brought us the wrong type of veggies (I understand Cantonese). One of the servers eventually took the vegetable dish away, however I told her I had eaten a piece of broccoli & she looked at me & acknowledged what I said... then she took the vegetables & gave it to the table right beside us! After that, I didn't have much of an appetite - this shows the class of service or care that the restaurant operates at. While paying the cashier was extremely snappy & rude to the gentleman ahead of us ordering for take out. I would not go back nor recommend this restaurant.

Classic Cantonese fare with a BBQ meat section!
Like any good Chinese place, service was lacking so be prepared but the food made up for it.
Not the best quality but really decent if you are craving Cantonese. Prices are very fair despite how expensive everything else is. I mean where else can you get 10 dumplings for only $5.25!

As a Chinese, honestly, if you look for better or high quality Chinese food, here is not the right place, however, the price is not too expensive which is kind of equal the quality of their food. Environment is not too clean in my opinion. Toasted duck is very dry & it's overnight, definitely not like it. The skin of the dumplings is too soft, the taste is not good.
