Absolutely awesome food here! It's hard finding a good Chinese food place, this place is great! The waiter was super duper friendly and accommodating, and the food was great! The lobster was quite good, and their other dishes like fried wonton, mapa tofu, beef with brocoli and others were delicious. Definitely recommend this place!

Very generous portions. Good food. The service is somewhat fast.

Dishes were not authentic and not fresh- the stir fried mushrooms had some weird sourness that was not from cooking sauces. However, staff is friendly and place is clean

this cantonese style chinese food hit the spot! the peeking duck skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. there was good wok hei on the beef chow ho and the peking duck stirfry vegetables. the eggplant, pork, and tofu was perfectly seasoned and cooked. the salt and pepper calamari could when used more salt and pepper but overall every crispy. good place and the server was very funny

This place is nothing fancy to look at, that’s not the point. But what you will get are incredible dumplings and noodles at great prices. Just make sure to have cash before you come here!

We were a group of friends, 5 people. The place is in Chinatown and small. It doesn't accept reservations, but the line is fast (we waited 10 min). The service was incredibly kind, funny, fast and attentive. We celebrated a friend's bday and 2 friends who are becoming fathers and the staff started to sing with us 🤣 they kept our desserts in their fridge (very nice of em). The best part is the food, oh boy so delicious!! The portions super huge (i suggest to share) and very cheap (5 people, average of 2 plates each person, 81$🥲). 5 stars definitely deserved! I suggest to try house noodles beef with broccoli! They accept only cash, but the ATM is just in front the restaurant (right after the street lights, behind the corner).

Stumbled upon this place for dinner and it was excellent! The food came out amazingly fast, and it was great. We had the cantonese chow mein, general tao chicken, pork noodle soup with vermicelli noodles, and spring rolls. It was very affordable as well. The staff are very efficient and the service is incredible. The second our water was empty they replaced it with a new one. They were very attentive and kind. Very glad we came here!

Small restaurant with limited seatings so make sure to arrive as soon as they open. Super welcoming staff and food came fast and fresh (noodle and dumplings are my favorites). I’ve been going here for years and can say that they have cut down on the portion like many other restaurants but it is still super affordable. I usually pay almost double elsewhere for the same amount of food. I strongly suggest to give it a try if you’re craving for fast chinese food without breaking your bank.

We paid around $200 but the overall experience did not justify the price. The food was underwhelming. The “chef special” spicy broth was particularly disappointing — it tasted like diluted Korean soybean paste with little depth or seasoning. As for the meat, only the wagyu was decent; the rest of the beef cuts were not enjoyable. One health concern: the egg served for sukiyaki was not pasteurized. When I asked, the server confirmed it was a regular raw egg and said “everyone eats it this way.” However, in Canada, eggs are not generally considered safe for raw consumption, unlike in Japan where handling standards differ. A clearer notice or pasteurized option would be more appropriate. Dessert (matcha mochi with red bean filling) tasted good, but the texture was odd — warm outside and cold inside. Feels like they just took out of the fridge and didn’t cook it through.. Overall, the experience felt average at best, but priced at a premium. Not worth it and will NOT come back. There are so many other nice places in montreal, skip this one.

Food is excellent but one of the heater for the broth was lagging at times. Service was a bit slow, we waited a considerable amount of time for each dish, but the place was full.
A. Bougie - 3 months ago

I’ve been going there for more than a decade, but it’s become overpriced for what you get—especially since the menu change. I understand raising prices, but cutting portion sizes at the same time—mainly vegetables, and even removing rice from the combo—just doesn’t make sense. Why spend $60 for so little when $60 gets you an all-you-can-eat hot pot? Overall, it’s still a good spot—the ambiance and staff are great—but it’s not worth it anymore.
Lian Rodgers - 2 months ago

Fantastic service that was attentive and speedy. The spicy broth really hit the spot. There is plenty of food for each set. I got the premium beef set and it was really yummy. Wish there was a bit more meat but I came away stuffed (there was a lot of veggies, and it came with a bowl of rice and noodles). The sesame sauce was also really yummy. The ponzu sauce was a bit too salty. Dessert was an alfogato with chocolate ice cream. The ice cream tasted like cheap ice cream but it was elevated by the espresso.
Stella Chen - a year ago

First time trying Shabu Shabu. Great atmosphere and friendly service, though they did feel understaffed. We got their new omakase set for 39$ and the sukiyaki broth. The portions seemed small at first glance but turned out to be surprisingly filling. The broth was really good but on the salty side, had to drink lots of water. Be careful not to leave your ingredients soaking in the broth for too long! Overall I'd come back here for a special occasion!

I'm out of the city from Alberta, and I saw this cupcake shop while walking. I was craving a treat so I had to step inside and take a look. The selection is small but every option is mouth watering. I ended up getting the vanilla caramel cupcake. Every bit was perfect! Not too sweet, but enough salty as well from the caramel. Couldn't be happier with my selection of cupcake, and for the unexpected stop.

Nice combo of offerings serving both sorbet/ice cream and cupcakes. Kid jus loved their sorbet and devoted it to Cupcakes were on the expensive side but aligned with what would be expected in Montreal Old town where tourists gather. Salted caramel chocolate was a good mix of sweet and salt.
Allanah - 8 months ago

Love the mini cupcakes here. The size is perfect. I really enjoy the box of mix assortment. Moka and Salted Caramel flavour is my favourite.

We came here for a quick bite while exploring the area. Definitely recommended. There are two entrances - the street side on St Catherine Street and one from inside Complexe Desjardins. We went for a regular coffee, a Dragon fruit Aqua Fresca, a Peach Ice Tea, an Oats muffin, a Caprese sandwich and Falafel wrap. Everything was great, except for Falafel where sweet potatoes tasted out of place. The lady at the counter was very patient (as we took a little more than usual time to decide the order) and friendly. Great service. It's a pedestrian street, at least during summer I think, so parking can be tricky near St Catherine Street. Definitely recommended!!

Still on the hunt for a solid coffee spot near work, I decided to give the Café Dépot in Complexe Desjardins (the one with the Saint-Catherine entrance) a try. It’s definitely convenient, and the interior is clean, well-lit, and well stocked. It also wasn’t very busy, which made for a quick in-and-out visit. I ordered a large coffee, which, in reality, is more like a medium by competitor standards. It was… fine. Just fine. Not bad, not great—just something to get the job done. But at nearly $4, I was quickly reminded why Café Dépot is rarely on my go-to list. For the same price elsewhere, I could get a larger and noticeably better brew. That said, if you’re looking for convenience over quality and don’t feel like waiting in line, this place does the trick. But for a coffee that actually makes your morning, you might want to keep looking.

Visited this cafe on a trip to Montreal. Ordered the dulce de leche frappe and the mocha frappe. Both great! Enjoyed the mocha frappe more. Nice atmosphere, good service. I will return!

Good strong espressos. Conveniently located. Friendly service. In winters I always stop here before I go skating nearby. And I appreciate the loyalty points system on the app.

This place was beautiful. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming. The noise level is great for conversation. We really appreciated that it wasn't loud. They made my great uncles celebration very special. Service was excellent, she was attentive by topping up our wine when needed, a dish came out a bit cold they recooked the whole plate quickly enough, she also brought out a surprise desert with sparkler. Food was excellent! The food was seasoned perfectly and everyone in our party was happy with taste and presentation. We tried the duck, octopus, Arctic char and lamb, plus a few desserts. Pavlova is incredible. Thank you again for a special evening.

Okay I’m being generous with my 3, I have reviewed a lot of places good and bad. This is a reason I have 3.3million views of my reviews and am in the top 5% of global google reviewers. 1st the good 1) Taste of the food was good, well seasoned 2) Beautiful Atmosphere The Bad - 1) I understand I was only one customer at the time of visit but that is no excuse for poor service, more in the breakdown. 2) Food came out cold, the butter didn’t even melt, clumped up on my steak and my veggies all cold. 3) Back to the service - Was missing a steak knife and the side sauce. Halfway through when a different sever saw that I was using a table knife and was missing my sauce corrected the issue then. 4) When ordering the most expensive thing on the menu and only being one person, it only takes 5 secs on your way past to make sure everything came out the way it was ordered. 5) As I’m being brought the bill is when I was finally asked how it was. Which I basically stated what I just wrote, I got back I will pass on your feedback. So I too am just passing on the feedback. It was a shame, I was looking forward to this location.

Stunning restaurant with beautiful decor. Unfortunately the good ends there like what many people said. We came here for brunch on Sunday and service was very slow and we had to follow up a couple times or go to the bar ourselves to get something . Drinks took 30 minutes to come and food was mediocre and not that impressive for hotel quality. The omelette was quite bland. The avocado toast was OK, but nice vinaigrette on the salad. The chocolate croissant was delicious though. Hopefully management takes this feedback & improve their service efficiency in the future.

We were 3 couples and we were trying out the "Happening Gourmand” menu for $49. We were warmly greeted and seated at our table. Our waiter Kenny was excellent. He was efficient and attentive. The decor of the restaurant is very appealing and had former bank vibes. The washrooms need a deep clean and a slight refresh but are well equipped. With the Happening Gourmand menu, you get a choice of soup or salad. One person took the soup and said it was delicious. The rest of us took the spinach salad. It was good but was heavy on the salt. The dressing was yummy. My wife and I took the braised beef cheek and despite the plates arriving covered with stainless steel lids to our table, the food was almost cold. Once again, the beef jus reduction sauce was on the salty side and the beef cheek was on the dry side and not as tender as it should have been both being braised and a cut of beef which is usually very tender. Plating was also ordinary and lacked any creative/artistic appeal. All in all the meal was decent but lacked culinary finesse. The service and decor definitely add to the experience.

We had a great time at the Christmas brunch buffet, and our waitress Melissa was a darling! Our party of six was comfortably seated in the corner, and we each enjoyed the food that appealed to us. The ooey gooey chocolatey marshamallowy cookie was especially tasty!

If you're visiting Montreal, make sure you leave time to come to Chinatown! Fried dumplings here are amazing and they don't use MSG, which is always great to see! We were seated quickly and service was quick with water on the table and menus. Food was great, but remember, this place is cash only! And they even refund the ATM fee, which is so nice of them!
Sebastian Massa - a month ago

Really good veggie dumplings, but they wouldn’t let me have four of each of the four veggie varieties, so I had to get 15 of one of them, which isn’t as fun. Also, he says “cash only” once or twice to each customer, which is annoying. A clear sign at the entrance would go a long way.
Dan Brook - 3 weeks ago

Had a great time. Service is super friendly and fast, the food is well seasoned, which is something I miss on other dumpling places in the region. I had the steamed lamb with cilantro and pork with curry onions and they were delicious. Shrimp wonton soup is a good call too. Important: they only take cash! There is an ATM machine at the entrance.
Lais Ponciano - 5 months ago

We had the pork and chive dumplings and the beef and onion dumplings, and an order of hot and sour soup. The dumplings were scrumptious. The hot and sour soup was delicious. Just what we needed after a kind of cold day. Highly recommend it. Our server was helpful and kind and generous.

While visiting Montreal for just a day, I knew I had to explore Chinatown and enjoy some authentic Chinese cuisine. I came across Mai Xiang Yuan Dumpling, a spot with solid ratings and promising reviews. The moment you step in, it gives off that classic, old-style Chinese restaurant vibe — cozy, unpretentious, and full of character. The staff are warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. One thing to note: they only accept cash, so be sure to have some on hand before you go. The food itself is excellent and truly authentic. Their dumplings are packed with flavor and made fresh, and the soup is just as satisfying — comforting, rich, and perfectly balanced. If you’re in Chinatown, Montreal, and want a genuine dumpling experience, Mai Xiang Yuan is well worth a visit. Just remember to bring cash and an appetite.

Montreal has a very underrated Chinatown with many good restaurants. Dobby & Andy is a standout among them. They are known for their pork like char sui and porn belly. Unfortunately they ran out of pork belly but the char sui was delicious as were the crispy noodles. It did seam lively inside but I got my order to go. It was busy so I had to wait about fifteen minutes but it was well worth it.

Dobe and Andy- a classic Chinese roast meats institution in Montreal. As someone who needs a rice fixing at least once a week when traveling, I’ve been to Dobe & Andy every time I’ve been to Montreal, totaling 6+ times over the last 4 years. So my review is one part a love letter to the scallion oil that combines with the fattiness of the roast meats, and one part nostalgia. If you come here, you are here for the meat platter. Char siu is solid, chicken is solid, roast pork belly is the standout. Duck skin is inconsistently crispy, but has never been underseasoned. With the scallion oil, any combination with the roast pork will hit the spot. The other rice and noodle dishes are solid as well. We’re here for the classic roast meats and classic Chinese dishes, not creative culinary takes. Dobe & Andy hits exactly the right spot— that of a weary traveler looking for a meal to reset the brain and stomach. Bathroom can be difficult, as you need a key to access the stalls located in a separate part of the building. Special shoutout to Ricky, who made our last visit memorable. Always relaxed and friendly service.

Honestly this is the best food in this area. The duck is insanely good, pork is tender and crispy. Staff are amazing! You can’t have better food for this price in Montreal. I live in Boston and every time I’m in town I make sure I order food here. Thank you and congrats on the new location at Time Out.

This review is for the Dobe & Andy in Timeout Market. I ordered the Fried Rice Supreme for $19 with additional Pork Char Siu for $6. The combination was excellent. Next time I would order some sauce for $3 extra. It was a bit dry. But probably the best fried rice and porc char siu in Montreal.
Sam Sirdeshpande - a month ago

Finally visited the famous Dobe and Ande and when I first saw the menu I was underwhelmed. But then I ordered something really simple and was simple blown away! The menu says choose a meat and then choose some form of noodles or rice. What you get is just perfect in terms of flavor balance. Had the char siu with noodles ♥️ That scallion sauce is insane! Order extra ahead of time, thank me later.

We had an enjoyable lunch at Nouilles de Lanzhou, a restaurant specializing in authentic Lanzhou-style hand-pulled noodles in Montreal’s Chinatown. This restaurant specializes in traditional Chinese hand-pulled noodles and braised beef noodle soup. The noodles are traditionally made fresh for each order. Visitors can watch the noodle-making process through the window. The menu features a variety of affordable options like signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, Braised Beef Tendon Noodles, Dan Dan Noodles and side dishes such as Spicy Cucumber Salad, Edamame and Seaweed Potato Salad are also available. We ordered the Traditional LanZhou Hand-pull Beef Noodle and Zha Jiang Noodle with Homemade Pork Sauce. Both noodles tasted delicious and flavourful. They noodles tasted fresh with a chewy texture and the broth was light and savoury.

We were lucky to get a table for 5 people! Resto not busy. We ordered 4 vegie noodle soups and one beef noodle soup. Portion was very generous. We enjoyed all soups. Veggie Broth not as rich as meat Broth but this is why we liked it. Simple and yet still delicious. We love trying diffrent soups.
Joséphine - 5 months ago

When we first came across this noodle shop, there was a size able line at the entrance. The wait is around 30 minutes at 1pm to get inside. When you get inside, you can see the noodles being made, which is cool! The seating inside is modern and sleek, giving a very cozy fleeting with the stone tiles and walls. With being very clean. Especially the bathroom. Even though seating is small, it is very comfortable. But I suggest big families come ahead of time to find a table. I ordered the vegetable noodle soup, with edamame with preserved vegetable coming out first. Which I gotta say came out with very little persevered vegetable and more just edamame alone. It took 20 min for food to come out. The presentation could’ve been a little better. But the soup broth was very flavorful! I would say though I ordered the small size soup. But the amount of noodles I got were so much! So if you have a light stomach be sure to order small or get ready to take some home! The noodles were rich as well, but the soup lacked many vegetable or plant protein. But that’s to be expected from a noodle specialty shop. I say if you’re vegan or vegetarian expect a lot of soft tender noodles, and I mean a lot. Also for the vegetable soup, it comes with an egg. You can request to not have it. Overall if you like noodles you’ll like this place, but your expecting the soup to have tons of vegetables this isn’t the place
Rin Shima - 3 months ago

Classic spot in Montreal. Love the noodles. The vegetarian soup is okay, I only wished they’d add some sort of protein to it, such as tofu. Service is very fast. The beef soup is exactly what it’s expected to be.
Em. - 4 weeks ago

The place is very busy, but worth the wait. Getting to see the noodles being made is pretty cool. The flavours are excellent, the broth is rich and comforting, and the spiciness in the other dishes is just right. Everything comes together nicely in each bowl. A great spot for Chinese noodles!

I went during their lunch hours, mostly ordered chicken and beef which were tasty but the beef was extremely thinly sliced but juicy atleast so order alot! They have alot of side dish and sushi options! A cute robot cat comes to give you the stuff you order You are limited to only 2 hours, so make sure you dont go over! Would've given a 5 stars if they haven't intentionally put a tip on my friend's bill. Regardless, the staff were quite nice and explained to us how everything works. During lunch hours on a weekday, it was 31.99$.

We came here for an event with a group of friends and had a great experience. Even though our reservation was for 6 people and we ended up being 8, the staff still accommodated us without any hassle — really appreciated their flexibility. The food was delicious and definitely good bang for the buck. Portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Overall, a great spot for group gatherings. Would absolutely come back!
Lazare - 6 months ago

The restaurant overall is good. A little bit noisy. The food is good and fresh. Starting from 2pm, you need to pay for dinner menu, which is 45$ When we ordered fried food, it took a while to get it~20 min and it wasn't warm unfortunately. Be aware, for dessert, the ice cream cost 3$ for a scoop. I was disappointed to see that you had to pay for this. I still do recommend this place if you want to grill some meat. It is well seasoned and fresh. Sushis were great ♡
Kimmy - 9 months ago

We had a great experience at this all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. For about $100 for two adults and one child, the meal felt like very good value considering the variety and quality of food available. We tried several types of sushi, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The BBQ chicken was also a nice surprise—flavorful and a good option if you want something different between sushi dishes. The all-you-can-eat format makes the experience very satisfying because you can try many different items without worrying about ordering just one dish. Overall, it was a fun and filling dining experience in a lively Chinatown location, and it’s a great spot if you want plenty of variety and fresh sushi. 🍣🥢
