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.
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

The food is amazing! In particular, i recommend crevette, poulet, & mushrooms (shrimp, chicken & mushrooms). The service is also great, the staffs were very welcoming. High recommend.
Small & authentic restaurant, welcoming & kind hosts, service & food were great.
Highlights of the meals: peanut butter wontons, beef & coriander buns, edamame & general tao chicken.
Lovely place! Good service & the food was flavourful, the owners (?) were also extremely sweet
Personally ordered:
- C1 veggie imperial rolls (1pc, which gives two as seen in the picture)
- C7 shrimp wontons (8pcs)
- D18 zucchini, corn, carrot, & mushroom dumplings (6pcs)
- D20 egg & tomato dumplings (6pcs) that were replaced by egg & chive ones (D19)
All amounted to 27.30$ with tax excluding the tip.
Friend ordered the G1 tao chicken for 15$, 17.25$ with tax. They said it tasted good as well
Owner was apologetic of the fact they couldn't provide egg & tomato dumplings as they had ran out, but the chive ones were delicious too! They also gave picked radish & cucumbers as a side on the house, my friend & I enjoyed eating them too
They have some guava candy at the desk where you pay as well, it was a little nostalgic sweet treat
Overall, super cute place! We'll definitely come again when possible, thank you for the food & service!

3 Madames has a wide selection of delicious steamed & fried dumplings & tasty appetizers. You can choose between tofu & veggies or beef, pork, chicken or lamb. The prices are fair, & I always enjoy the food.
WOW those dumplings are amazing! Delicious food, generous portions it was definitely a great find. I had another favourite in Montreal but I think this might be my new favourite dumpling spot!!! The chicken curry dumplings were the best out of everything. Only small downside is how the tables are setup, people were looking at us eating while waiting for their orders , but it was still worth it
Amazing food but terrible service. Seems to be a trend in most Asian places in Montreal. But the food here was actually really good & I would definitely have it again but probably take out next time. We started with the hot & sour soup which was warm & hearty. Next we had the popcorn chicken, let me tell you they were pretty big, juicy & freshly fried. They were lightly breaded too & easily exceeded my expectations. For the dumplings we had the classic pork Xiaolongbao & the veggie options were the best I ever tried for veggie dumplings in montreal.
Hands down the best comfort food I've ever had. 3rd time coming back & my favourite from here is definitely the beef & onion dumplings 🥟 & the general tao chicken. 100% would recommend!!
My partner & I were recommended this place & we are so happy about this discovery! Will definitely go back, pork & chives dumplings were amazing, general Tao chicken w/rice super tasty, wonton soup as well, we absolutely enjoyed it! Thanks again & see you soon!
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.
Wonton & dumplings were really bad. Filling in wonton was of very low grade meat, the cheapest parts of chicken. I even got a piece of bone in it. Service & atmosphere were good though.

So Tasty! Love the fried dumplings so much. Decent food at an affordable price. Must try the popcorn chicken, tastes different from other stores. Will come again, highly recommend it.
