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.

BBQ pork & duck was dry with no flavour 👎👎
Disappointed that a plate full of bean sprouts was passed off as a dish on the set menu 🚫, Also, was asked to tip more (yes, more) before leaving 😠❌, Should have trusted the reviews & skipped ?? this restaurant.

Probablement un des pires restaurants dans le quartier chinois. On a commandé 5 plats, ils goûtaient tous le surgelé. C'était mou, trop salé ou ça goûtaient tout simplement me fond de boîte. La serveuse ne parlait pas français & nous a couru après pour qu'on la tip. Je recommande d'aller littéralement n'importe où d'autre dans le china town.

The quality of its food is insanely inconsistent & the dining environment is subpar, but Restaurant Ethan is like a toxic relationship. You can't help but go back every once in the while for the wide range of options it offers & its unbeatable price.

We got takeout here & came back the next night for a casual dinner. The service people are very nice & the food is fantastic value for Montreal. We enjoyed every dish & they got the food out very quickly. The decor is dated, but I'm willing to overlook that for an authentic Cantonese style restaurant.

Food was warm & comforting. No wait on a Saturday night, very nice service & super fast order. General Tsao Chicken was quick, a bit hard, but overall good. Lo mein was super skinny noodle, thinner than we are accustomed to but good.

A good stop for a quick & safe bite in China Town.

Que dire...c'est vraiment le pire resto chinois...
Les dumplings sauce aux arachides immangeable. La sauce est une espèce de bouillie non amalgamée.
Pour ce qui est du poulet général Tao...on cherche le poulet sous l'épaisse couche de panure.
Par contre si vous voulez manger du riz vapeur...il est très bon.
À evite
