Dumpling King comes across as a small, family run spot with a welcoming vibe and Chinese decor that enhances the dining experience, with service described as friendly and top notch. The focus on handmade dumplings shines, arriving steaming hot and juicy, and the menu also features staples like chicken fried rice and Singapore noodles that several reviewers enjoyed. The location near the YUL airport is noted as convenient for travelers, and the atmosphere is described as quaint and well run by a family who clearly takes pride in their work. Some reviewers note variability in flavor, with dumplings sometimes feeling more like fast food Chinese fare while other dishes and varieties seem more authentic or traditional. Overall impressions lean positive, with many planning to return to try more dumplings and sauces, but a few suggest that for a more intensely flavored or traditional experience other spots might be preferred. Dumpling King earns praise for friendly service, a cozy setting, and solid dumplings, making it a reliable option for a casual meal.
The restaurant offers a good atmosphere of Chinese decor & service was top notch. Although I'm Chinese, the food wasn't that bad due to me travelling to Quebec for a few weeks & it was the first time eating dumplings in a while. If you would like spending time learning something new, & eating something fresh while fulfilling, i'd definitely make my own dumplings & you should try too! Overall, top service, a good environment to be in, but the food can depend on if you like more of a fast food Chinese vibe, give this a try! If not, I'd advise you to try a more authentic restaurant. PS (Most dishes are authentic but most/all the dumpling dishes are made in ways I don't recall using or traditional).
Fantastic spot for dumplings, locally owned mom & pop shop. The specials seem reasonably priced. I am a big fan of their plates as well. 2 orders of dumplings & a plate of general Tao. I will be coming back for more. Thank you Helen 😊

Family owned authentic Chinese restaurant. We ordered shrimp wonton noodle soup & steamed sweet pork dumplings with 4 toppings. Both are very delicious. Shrimp wontons are packed with hand-chopped shrimp & seasoned to perfection. Best ones I've ever had in Canada. Steamed sweet pork dumplings with 4 toppings are the most festive of all the dumpling varieties, juicy, filled with savory & well balanced in nutrition. Definitely a recommendation. The location is close to the YUL airport so it's very convenient for travelers to stop by & dine before or after flight.
Super tiny little dumpling place it's really cute inside. I think it's family owned so that's a bonus. The owner was really nice. The dumplings were your standard dumplings. Nothing super special about it. Decent serving size. Flavour didn't punch me in the face, but it didn't taste bad. Either wasn't too expensive. They have a little bubble tea stand in the back that I would love to come back & try sometime.
Family owned we were served by Hellen, who indicated all of their dumplings are made by hand in-house. The atmosphere was quaint, & the service was excellent. Dumplings came in steamy hot & juicy, while 2nd order was requested fried, & they were indeed done to perfection. Each dish came with dipping sauce, though for a bit extra you can order more sauce like peanut sauce, which I'm glad I did as the sauce I ordered was mild & a tad on the flavorless side. You get 12 dumplings per plate, & I selected the porc, & they were just that, I should have selected more flavorful varieties like porc & shrimp. We did not try out so many other options on the menu, which was plentiful, starting from soup to bubble teas. The main eating room was clean & it was quiet. Very well ran, & they are eager to please their customers.
This place is very home-y. Portions & taste were 👌👌👌! We had pork&cabbage fried dumplings, chicken popcorn & spicy beef dumplings soup. The filling of the dumplings were so well seasoned & tasted VERY GOOD. The chicken popcorn was also very delicious! The broth of the soup was not bad but could be better. Overall, I would recommend & go back there myself in the near future. Owners were lovely as well.
Dumplings were ok not like..popcorn chicken was disappointing execution wise & the chicken fried rice was just weird for 12 bucks it was small & very dark & moist like sticky & too salty not sure never had any rice like that & like my Asian food & the spring rolls ok same style every place has...pretty disappointing for spending 80 bucks but that's how you find out what you do & don't want next time
Had the lamb & coriander, as well as the beef curry dumplings. They were both tasteless, & they just give you soy sauce with them which didn't help. Had to drown them in the chili oil I had at home to make them passable.
