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.
please do go in that restaurant they so aggressive & racist!!! & forcing 18% tip but they dont have a good service & the food is not good & the woman with short hair is super crazy like the other crew!!!! so disappointing experience & i dont know why this restaurant is still exist..
I live in Toronto, I went there for visiting & this place was really amazing in price, food , & the quality & quality, I wish they had a headquarters in Toronto, that would be so cool.
Delicious & fast food, it was busy with hightail turn over.
The pan fried pork dumplings, Xiao long boa & Cantonese Chow mein were great, my child ate a whole order of the rice noodle rolls which was super fresh.

On est pas dans la haute gastronomie mais le rapport qualité prix est au rdv.
C'est un restaurant chinois classique, connu pour ses plats, y compris des spécialités cantonaises, dans un cadre simple & sobre. Très bon riz frit & dumpling pas cher. Coup de coeur pour le bubble tea au lait de coco.
Decent food but Bad service! they're acted like I asked for free food but no I paid every dollars out of my pocket. I didn't not expect wonderful service but at least do not yell at your customers.
My partner & I were here a couple of weeks ago. Basic looking restaurant but was full so that drew us in. We shared a starter/appetiser & 2 mains. Too much food! All very tasty. Had a lovely chat with our waitress who recognised our British accents from Hong-Kong where she came from. Can recommend it.
I've been here often since I live nearby, & their beef & broccoli (#120) used to be a favourite. Unfortunately, I've gotten seriously ill after eating it on multiple occasions, once even so badly I was sick in the street, with stomach pain & diarrhea. Today was the final straw: I had the same dish again & was hit with intense pain almost immediately after leaving. I've since noticed other reviews mentioning similar experiences. Sadly, I won't be returning, & I want to leave a gentle warning for others.
There were 3 of us, & I have no notes. A great amount of tasty food for a very reasonable price. What made it better was the service, everyone was so friendly. 10/10 do recommend!
WOW, comme on pourrait dire: Im going tapioca crazy! resto très trim, une vraie explosion de chaleur, visiter le ethan c'est comme visiter son vieil ami de longue date, aller voir big Sam quoi. Vous direz à Annie que c'est moi qui vous envoie!;) Plus de 350+ items sur le menu & pourtant AUCUN sandwich. Depuis mon accident (Saint-Calyxte), ils m'ont réparé les pupilles! tellement c'est bon! Bon comme
une bon repas. Grand champion, grand champion, grand champion, INTERNATIONAL DE BOUFFE!

Depuis que mon père a fait l'inacceptable, je me réconforte dans ces petits plats réconfortants…. Je crois avoir trouvé un sombre tunnel secret à l'arrière-resto, maintenant à votre tour d'oser! Merci c'était bon overall. Je vais revenir. Belle soirée entre hommes.
