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.
Je pense que c'est le meilleur restaurant du quartier chinois. Le service est rapide, la nourriture est délicieuse. Tout est frais, & il y a un grand choix de dumplings. Je reviendrai, c'est sûr. Pas cher.
If you want awesome Cantonese BBQ you won't go wrong here. Price & food taste can't be beat. Amazing portion size & again taste is up there with the best in CA. Highly recommend. By the way if your doing the hop on/off buss tour at stop at the church about a 10min walk to Chinatown where restaurant Ethan is. About 4 restaurant in from the street.
Amazing choice for great food the Seafood was delicious the shrimp plump & tender... Go with friends & order a bunch of plates to share... Highly recommend, prices & food good
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!

A very casual Chinese spot, with very cheap eats & average food. While they offer a wide variety to satiate the Chinese food urge, I can't say it is of the best quality. For a tourist visiting Montreal, I would have preferred a higher quality experience with actual recipes. The General Tao chicken, for example, seemed merely to be a plate of bulk chicken nuggets doused in sauce. The dumplings just tasted like bulk frozen dumplings & lazily fried. I'd say this place is probably good for take out or hangover Asian food, but not necessarily worth an intentional visit for a sit down meal.
Most of the food was tasteless & bland not a grain of salt added but the dumplings were good but the main was H O R R I B L E 👎👎👎🖕 Also the back area & toilets looked filthy... workers are too loud & they chat a lot...the waiter told me before hand that if I want to eat in I have to leave 15 % tip...I have never heard that in any other restaurant
Je ne comprends pas la montagne de mauvais commentaires ! Certes, elles ne parlent pas bien français, mais elles parlent anglais & sont très gentilles. Je suis de la Restauration & je ne me gêne pas de dire quand quelque chose ne va pas. Elle nous a laissé le choix d'une seconde table, la première étant dans le chemin mon compagnon ne mange pas de porc elle nous a également proposé de changer les bouchers vapeur. Mais surtout nous nous sommes régalés avec un combo pour deux personnes, un rapport qualité prix plus que correct à Montréal !

Only ate here because the wait upstairs at Keung Kee was too long. Made the mistake of ordering the Peking duck. The wrappers were tiny & too thin, the duck was dry, & instead of getting leftover duck with lettuce wraps we got fried bean sprouts! It was $65 for the Peking duck alone which was SOO overpriced. This place is better for casual eats like fried rice, sweet & sour pork, etc. The place was also extremely noisy & felt chaotic. For those traditionally "nicer" dishes & a calmer atmosphere, go somewhere else!!
