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.

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.

I go about once a week, very quick service & tasty food at great prices. Fried pork chop noodle soup for $7 is a go to cheap eat.

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 !
