Review Summary

Ethan serves a very large Cantonese menu with generous portions and prices that many reviewers call excellent value, making it a go to for affordable Chinese food in Chinatown. Dishes like Peking duck, soft rice rolls, congee with shrimp wonton soup, dumplings, and Cantonese fried noodles are frequently praised for staying tasty and satisfying, and dim sum offerings and bubble tea get positive mentions for flavor and portion size. The atmosphere is described as lively and fast paced, with quick service that suits hungry crowds, though some note that the pace can feel brisk and the staff sometimes appear stressed or overly pushy about tipping. Several reviews warn that not every item hits the same note, with some dishes being hit or miss and a few reporting off flavors or undercooked dumplings. A few accounts recount a troubling incident involving a homeless patron and criticism of how the situation was handled, influencing loyalty for some readers. While there are criticisms about service or ethics, others emphasize great value and reliable comfort food that keep them returning. Overall, Ethan is seen as a dependable, inexpensive option for big portions and authentic flavors, albeit with a caveat to temper expectations on consistency and service.

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.

Good food. I definitely recommend the juicy duck & BBQ sweet pork.
Service is so-so, but the food here is good. Come here if you enjoy fast & Chinese food.
Remember that this is a fast food restaurant! + CHEAP PRICES!

Surely coming back soon!
