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.

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!

General tao looked like the costco'general tao' & the pork strips tasted a bit like churros… the noodles from the dish at the top of the plastified menu is just instant noodles or taste a lot like it. The soup had not much flavor even when I added enough soy sauce to change its colo

I have been eating takeout from there for 3 days straight & it's soooooo damn good. The Shanghai Noodles with chicken, General Tao & Beef with Brocoli are to die for. & the service is quick & simple & everyone is very polite.

First time in Montreal, honestly this restaurant is a hidden gem! Super affordable compared to how expensive other restaurant options are in Montreal. Located in China town Montreal, the vibes are great. My sister ordered the trio (chicken, shrimp, pork) with noodles & I ordered pork with noodles. Portions were great, food was fresh. Definitely worth checking out!

Just ok Cantonese food. Made a mistake going here as i just clicked on upstairs listing. Food was just ok. In the group, 2 out of 4 barely touch their noodles as it wasn't that great. They were stingy on the meat for the congee. & we ordered one of the appetizers twice & they never brought it & didn't even bother telling us.

I had an excellent dining experience at Restaurant Ethan as the food was very delicious, & the service was attentive & very accommodating. Everything is very authentic Hong Kong style especially the won-ton noodle soup, congee & youtiao (Chinese donut). Definitely a 5 stars restaurant.
