Ethan serves a very large Cantonese menu with generous portions and prices that many reviewers call excellent value, making it a go to for affordable Chinese food in Chinatown. Dishes like Peking duck, soft rice rolls, congee with shrimp wonton soup, dumplings, and Cantonese fried noodles are frequently praised for staying tasty and satisfying, and dim sum offerings and bubble tea get positive mentions for flavor and portion size. The atmosphere is described as lively and fast paced, with quick service that suits hungry crowds, though some note that the pace can feel brisk and the staff sometimes appear stressed or overly pushy about tipping. Several reviews warn that not every item hits the same note, with some dishes being hit or miss and a few reporting off flavors or undercooked dumplings. A few accounts recount a troubling incident involving a homeless patron and criticism of how the situation was handled, influencing loyalty for some readers. While there are criticisms about service or ethics, others emphasize great value and reliable comfort food that keep them returning. Overall, Ethan is seen as a dependable, inexpensive option for big portions and authentic flavors, albeit with a caveat to temper expectations on consistency and service.
Lots of bad reviews on this place but I generally quite enjoyed the food. Lots of negative reviews on the service. I can't speak on that as I ordered to go. I would order from here again, but it's not on my top list of go to places.
Went to this restaurant during lunchtime The service was very fast I got a table instantly & received my food promptly after ordering, Food is good & cheap Service is fast & straight to the point even though the restaurant was full.
Se come muy sabroso, probar comida asiática deliciosa, dan raciones generosas acorde al precio, no es caro, si no te lo acabas, te dan recipiente para llevar.
your typical hong kong style cafe- fast easy food when you're on the go. cannot speak for the main dishes, but the sesame balls were delicious (bought them 3 times) - you cannot beat the price of 20 pieces for CA $6.95!
Je vais souvent dans ce restaurant. Pour une fois j'ai eu un assez bon service. La serveuses était bien aimable. Les plats étaient aussi très délicieux. Des très grosses portions, qu'il en restait pour emporter. Le mobilier & les cartes du menu ont réellement besoin d'être remplacé. Les soupes de nouilles, les dumplings, le riz étaient très bons. Le prix aussi était très raisonnable.
Quelque part dans les méandres de La Gauchetière se trouve cette option tout à fait honnête. La clé ici c'est le rapport qualité prix. On est pas dans un grand restaurant qui va vous donner envier de téléphoner à votre irascible beau père pour vous vanter de votre découverte .... MAIS .... On sait Jamais. Le combo dimsum B commandé peut facilement nourrir 3 personnes. C'est pas d'un raffinement extraordinaire mais pour 42$ c'est tout à fait honnête. Le service est très alerte. On m'a même rendu mes sourires. Y a beaucoup de roulement en salle, la nourriture ne soit pas stagner en cuisine. Note au passage les rouleaux impériaux c'est pas nécessaire. On va sûrement y revenir.
The dishes were well served & they offered a good value for what they charge. The bouef with broccoli was the highlight, really delicious. If you are walking in Chinatown & you are not willing to not spend much, this place is worth a shot. The service was good & the Staff really polite.
The staff is incredibly polite ad friendly, you can ask any question & they will answer. The food was deliciousand felt authentic & made with care. We had dumplings, gyoza or jiaozi like, they were great. We also got Wonton soup, the broth was rich & light, the vegetables were soft. Such a nice experience.

More affordable place. Has some dishes I like that I can't find elsewhere. People at the cash register not too friendly, & can be rude. No 4 or 5 stars because of this.
Food is great. Staff quite efficient. Fast service. Inside is a lot cluttered & too crowded/too close. Been here 2 times for takeout & will come back for sure.
