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 Montreal 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 Montreal...by all means head to Chinatown specifically to Dobe and Andy's and enjoy! -

I enjoy dropping in to Dobe & Andy for a quick and cheap bite to eat. I absolutely adore their duck soup and will keep coming back for that exact meal. They're located in the same complex that Maison Kam Fung is located in. If your hungry and short on cash you can always count on Dobe & Andy to fill you up.
