Dobe & Andy

A real gem of a place: the décor is non-​existent, the service can be spotty, but order BBQ duck and BBQ pork over rice and nothing else will matter. The price can’t be beat ($ 6.75 for almost anything on the lunch menu) and the portions are more than generous.

Great BBQ pork. Great BBQ duck. I asked for mine to be on rice. It comes with bok choy (yayyy!!) and ginger and green onion sauce. So good!
The servers are friendly too. I was in and out I. Less than half an hour since they’re extremely fast.
And since I don’t speak Cantonese the service was minimum but still loved it!
And very inexpensive also. $ 9 with tax + tip for a satisfying dinner

Succulent chicken and pork. Amazing broth in the soup. The price point cannot be beat for the quality. Humble décor. I went there today as I was searching for another resto. Decided to eat here. I am glad I stumbled upon this gem.

good place and nice food .and have good service. this place i come a long time

This is my favourite Hong Kong style café restaurant in Montréal.
For 6.75 $ plus 50 cent for a cold drink you get vast amount of menu options from their lunch special. They also serve Chinese BBQ meat by the pound. The restaurant is always busy at lunch time but service is fast.
I would recommend anyone to try this hidden gem in Chinatown.

Classic HK café, great prices and pretty consistent quality. Gets hectic and busy during lunch, but they also serve breakfast and have afternoon specials. When it’s busy you can ask the waiter if you should order from their butcher section ie: bbq pork, duck, chicken on rice or noodles or should you order from the kitchen for your fried noodles or fried rice noodle soup etc.

Ce n’est sûrement pas le plus bel endroit du quartier chinois, ni la meilleure soupe (le bouillon est plutôt fade), mais leur viande vaut vraiment le détour! Et leurs prix aussi! Les viandes proviennent du petit stand d’en face, dans le même centre commercial. Vous aurez probablement envie d’en ramener chez vous… (Surtout que ce n’est pas cher, on parle de 20 $ pour un canard laqué entier, si ma mémoiré est bonne)! Le porc était tendre et juteux, le canard était aussi excellent. Les assaisonnements de la viande étaient bien balancés. Mes seules réserves concernent la soupe et les nouilles, très ordinaires. Optez plutôt pour des grillades sur du riz!

Went with bbq duck on rice. Good food and good price.

Très bon, en effet je crois que le bbq est la spécialité! J’ai pris de porc et du poulet.

I read a review a d decided to order… everything is horrible… Beef with rice… no beef only fat and some kind of cabbage… Soup no taste at all… Singapore noodles salty… spring rolls just awful… Not sure what people liked at that place… Very disappointed…

I’ve had Cantonese BBQ in Hong Kong and this place is definitely on par. We got the duck and pork noodle soups and it was so delicious. The restaurant is located in a office/​shopping mall which made it a little difficult to find but it was really worth it. A must try in Montréal Chinatown.

They close at 7:00pm, I got there at 6:30 and they were very happy to sit me. I ordered BBQ pork and duck on rice. Within 3 minutes he was serving me and apologized for the wait. Heck my seat cushion wasn’t even warm. They brought hot green tea while I waited. It was super delicious. Everything was hot and cooked just right. It was a plateful of food. I was done and out of there by 6:50 and he was still sitting customers with a warm smile. Dinner with tax. $ 8.05.
I will go back again. Go for the food, not the ambience. Place is clean, just not much to look at.

Came here to try the duck and pork, I just wasn’t sure whether to try it on noodles or rice, went with the rice. It was a good choice as the duck was really good as well as porc, rice came with onion which I think had been prepared with a salty sauce, other than that it was good overall, can’t go wrong with that price: lunch for $ 7.75 tax included.
They served us complimentary hot tea. Menu also had lunch specials for $ 6.

I keep coming back. Great food, great deals, the wait staff works very hard… a Chinese hole in the wall gem!

Man, it’s good food
I ordered the first thing listed on the menu. Very satisfied with the amount of food and taste. Price worthy. After all the overcharging garbage food from other restaurants, I’d definitely come back for this restaurant when I’m back in Montréal.
Go if you’re hungry

One of the best midi/​lunch specials I’ve seen so far. $ 6.25 + tax will get you a choice of two meats (you can see the deliciousness in the display across the hall, roast duck and pork especially), some baby bok choy and rice. I only managed to eat half of it; it was a mountain of food. They have a lot of choices besides that (noodles, soups, veggies on rice, etc.). May come in early to try the congee at breakfast sometime.
The service was really great, all smiles and very efficient. Places like this (in random office buildings, basic on the inside) are pretty common all around Asia, and they’re the best places to eat. This place is no exception… Go now!

C’est mon resto fast food prefere au quartier chinois. le prix est vraiment po cher. et le gout est bon!! le service est rapide aussi! ma plate prefere est le bbq pork noodles… je mange au moins une fois par semain ici… mais la seule chose que je dois dire… le propiete dois renover un peu son resto…

Great friendly service, EXCELLENT value, and super quick! Had the lunchtime Sze Chun dumplings, while some other the other folks at the table had noodles and soup. Tasted everything and it was all delicious!

Now Chinatown tends to be one of those hit or miss kind of places. Some restaurants are spot on, some are just plain terrible. This place however, I find offers some of the best bbq duck etc. It is located underneath Kam Fung and right across a butchery. It doesn’t look like much, but you really cannot go wrong with their bbq duck/​chicken/​pork etc. It’s super fast the service and man is it cheap there. We ordered a plate of fries, bbq duck porridge, and soy sauce chicken & bbq duck on rice. All of that? 14 buckaroos baby. I mean it was the cheapest lunch I ever had… in a long time.
I do believe this place is open for breakfast too, like at 8AM or something. But anyways, I really recommend eating here if you had to choose from all the restaurants in Chinatown. It’s simple, cheap, and fast.

For lunch, I had fried noodles with chicken and a coconut milkshake. So delicious! They really give you a lot of food for the price. :)

After being introduced to this little place, my boyfriend and I are smitten. We’re always looking for excuses to go to Chinatown so we can stop by and have their really tasty «dong-​lai-​cha» (cold milk tea) or «dong-​ling-​cha» (cold lemon iced tea). Unfortunately, they close really early at night (7pm), so it’s only really good for lunch or mid-​afternoon snack. Everybody’s friendly and the food is reasonably priced. It’s definitely worth it for the amount of food you get. You will never leave with a stomach empty!

Dobe and Andy is the furthest you get from a typical chinatown touristy haunt. This means it’s already scored a point.
The setting is that of a dingy diner and the place is quite certainly a no-​frills joint. But do not let the Chinese-​only specials menu and the green tea in plastic cups deter you.
I second the pork and duck combo, as well as the Shanghai fried noodles and the soy sauce chicken with rice.
I found our server struggling a little with translating the specials menu (breakfast specials, $ 3.75, lunch specials in the $ 5 area). At the same time the smiles and enthusiasm completely compensated for the slight language barrier.
The food, price and setting alone would earn it three stars (not a place you’d bring a date), but the service is so great I give it the four. Will be back!

You know you’ve hit the «real thing» when you enter the building that houses Dobe and Andy! An office building serves as the backdrop for this incredible culinary experience. I’m all about glistening well cooked pigs, ducks and chickens hanging in the windows… the almost candied apple appearance of the succulent skin of these animals makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
I promised one of my co-​workers lunch while in Montréal on business last week and had him choose the spot… and let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. The place was not overly crowded but abuzz with lots of conversations that I could not make out, because any of the Oriental languages are not my norm. Obviously a hot spot because if the locals eat there, and you could tell there were plenty of regulars, it has to be good.
Dan recommended his favorite dish of rice, steamed baby bok choy topped with the most generous slices of a combination of pork and duck. Warm tea, not sweet, was served in brightly colored tupperware style cups… you know the ones, right? Chopsicks and a ceramic soup spoon so you can scoop as fast as you like were served on the side. No need for seasonings… it was juuuuust right!
At a hair over $ 5 per person, we rolled out of there fully satisfied and ready for a nap. If you find yourself in Montréal… by all means head to Chinatown specifically to Dobe and Andy’s and enjoy!
