3 Madames Dumplings receives consistently strong praise for fresh, homemade tasting dumplings in a bright, clean space with friendly, multilingual staff and reliable service. Reviewers highlight a wide variety of options from xiao long bao and wonton soup to pan fried dumplings, beef curry buns, veggie dumplings and pork, with many describing the fillings as flavorful and the wrappers thin and delicate; soup dumplings are repeatedly noted as a standout. The place feels authentic and homey, with generous portions and careful packaging for takeout, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere that can include a small patio and dine in. Some concerns include changes to the xiao long bao recipe that affected juiciness for a portion of guests, occasional miscounts or delays on delivery or takeout, and a few isolated issues, but overall the sentiment is that the dumplings are excellent, the flavors clear and varied, and the staff warm and attentive, making it a top choice for dumpling lovers and a solid spot for vegetarian options.
Xiao long bao on est loin de sammy & soup dumpling. Il souvre facile & la soup du dumpling sort en raison qu'il se defait trop facilement. Bon malgre tout
UPDATE
been 2 more times after my initial review & was disappointed. They changed their recipe based on some comments from people because xiao long bao go get that soup requires gelatin & fat & apparently that upset some people. Please, do not go to other cultures then ask them to modify the recipes, go elsewhere or order regular dumplings. I wish they didn't fold to these requests. I don't know if they reverted it back to the original recipe since. It just wasn't as juicy & as good because of the modifications. Sammi soup dumpling it is!
ORIGINAL review:
DELICIOUS, you must try, will be back again.
Had xiao long bao, the pork was sold out :( got the chicken & mushroom & it was so good. Also had the beef curry dumpling & pork coriander pan fried dumpling & the cucmber entree. Every single thing was perfectly delicious. Very flavorful, juicy, tender, the right texture for the filling & the skin (all home made) & the skin was just thin enough. Loved all of it! There is a lady that sits at the front making dumplings non stop.
I'd suggest doing dine in for xiao long bao, I don't think you'll get the same experience with take out or delivery. There are a few tables inside, nicely lit, it's a cute spot to eat in. The lady serving us (one of the 3 madames that own this joint) was super sweet.
You can also order water or tea (& tea isn't charged extra) so it's a great authentic Chinese experience :) Highly recommend! I want to try everything on the menu.

amazing quality dumplings, savory & chunky. cute menu. have tried a few dumpling places but have been coming back here many times since my discovery; for dine-in & delivery. my favorites are the xiao bao long broth dumplings chicken/shrimp/scallop & the chicken/mushroom/shrimp & I keep coming back for those especially! also had the fried buns with beef curry, beef & corn dumplings & the wonton soup waw! even the dumplings in the little soup were well filled. love this place
My experience at 3 Madames was exceptional! The service was swift & efficient, & the food was both delicious & satisfying. The xiao long bao was the best I've ever had. I will definitely be returning to this fantastic spot!
I ordered beef & onion fried dumplings & classic pork xiao long bao. Unlike the reviews I read, the beef & onion were dry - not a drop of juiciness. I had higher hopes for the xiao long bao but these were even worse - there wasn't a drop of soup in them - in fact they were as dry as the beef & onion dumplings but with a very bland flavour. These I had to send back because they weren't soup dumplings in any possible respect. Hopefully I was here on an off day. The service was good & the place, while completely basic, is clean.
I ordered the Xiao Long Bao & chicken with stir fried noodles. The noodle dish was tasty with generous pieces of chicken & quality vegetables. The dumplings were what I really came for though, & I was unfortunately disappointed. The filling was poorly seasoned & not juicy (but not dry, either). It just tasted like bland pork & shrimp at best. Strangely, some of the dumplings tasted a bit sweet so I'm wondering if I was given a mix of dumplings. Can't say any of them were particularly delicious.
Gotta love a dumpling place like this. Low key decor, simple menu, but everything was delicious. We tried a wide variety of dumplings, from the peanut butter sauced entree to Xiao Long Bao, Siumai & fried dumplings, everything was great. The hot & sour soup, tea & complimentary salad were excellent. Friendly service & great value. Unpretentious comfort food, highly recommended.

So glad to have found this place on Wellington. There's always a line up on Sainte-Catherine restaurants but this one is just as good if not better. Dumplings are freshly made. Friendly service, I've tried their steamed & pan fried dumplings & both were amazing. Today tried the Xiao long bao (dumpling with soup inside) & it was great as well. Hot & sour soup was good too, not the best I've had, Beijing in Chinatown has a great H&S soup.
Nous avons commandé pour une première fois & ça ne sera certainement pas la dernière! Nous avons commandé plusieurs plats pour emporter: salade de concombre aigre-piquant, dumplings aux crevettes, porc-ciboulette & chou-champignons, avec les xiao long bao choix du chef (un mix de plusieurs saveurs). Tout était délicieux & prêt à temps. Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute!
