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.

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

A lot of the views on here are precious. Yes, tipping is customary. They tend to be pretty busy so sometimes the service is abrupt but it was very quick & efficient. Really big portions too. I kind of like the old school atmosphere - pretty girls hanging on their boyfriends every word for now, old couples enjoying a moment together, reminiscing about how they first went to restaurants when they met. Wait, that was us.

This place is just incredible. High quality food, I went with four people & between us our 6 dishes came hot, top quality, & in under 10 minutes. The prices are absolutely insane - 18 fried dumplings for about $10, 10 spring rolls for $7 - SO good! I can't recommend this place more.

Gave an old Chinese restaurant We landed in Montreal & found this restaurant because my friends were craving for duck. We ordered some other dishes. In general, food was fine but I'd not come back if I crave for Chinese food

C'est une de ces places qui misent sur la rapidité du service & sur un prix raisonnable des plats. Les mets sont savoureux aussi. Preuve qu'ils respectent leurs clients : même quand on vient payer, la première option de pourboire qu'on voit, c'est 12% & non 20% comme tous les autres restaurants maintenant. Le prix du special midi, avec service & pourboire 15% m'est souvent moins cher qu'un repas équivalent dans une chaîne de restauration rapide.
