Overall, Ethan comes across as a bustling Chinatown staple offering large portions, quick service, and affordable Cantonese comfort with favorites like roasted meats, barbecue pork, duck, dumplings, and dim sum. The menu is praised for value and reliability, with many diners enjoying generous plates and fast turnover, and some hits like congee, red bean ice dessert, and other dishes that evoke a Hong Kong vibe. However, experiences vary: some meat dishes can be dry or underseasoned, dim sum skins can be too thick, and a few visits note inconsistent quality across dishes. Service is described as friendly and efficient at times, but there are reports of rushed or pressured tipping and some negative incidents that left a few patrons reluctant to return. Despite these uneven moments, the restaurant remains a popular affordable option for quick meals and big portions, with the caveat that quality and atmosphere can feel busy and informal.
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!!
