Étoile Rouge earns strong praise for a cozy, unpretentious vibe and consistently delicious dumplings served quickly with friendly, attentive service and generous portions at affordable prices. Reviewers highlight fresh, homemade dumplings and bold broths, with standout dishes like a hot and spicy soup and various dumplings filled with pork, beef, or shrimp; the dumplings are often described as the star of the menu. The atmosphere feels calm and welcoming for lunch or takeout, and the staff are noted for their hospitality. Occasional inconsistencies are mentioned, such as variation in dumpling preparation or a past washroom issue, but overall the experience is described as excellent and highly recommended.
I come here like every week, at the same spot, & every time I bring a new friend here, they say they will definitely come back. The noodles & dumplings are just the best !!!!! homemade food like this doesn't show up quite often in Montreal . Miss Fang always greets me with a smile that makes me feel like home!! Xxx 10/10
À ce jour, c'est les meilleurs dumplings que j'ai mangé à Montréal. On y va une fois par mois environ. Les prix sont plus qu'abordables, surtout compte tenu de la qualité.
Les Saveurs étaient trés bonnes & équilibrées.La serveuse était conviviale & attentionnée.
Nous avons passés un trés bon moment dans un lieu calme, oû la musique ne couvre pas la discution 🥰

Très bons dumplings, les
Meilleures de Montréal selon moi ! La patronne pourrait saluer s'est clients & sourire un peu plus mais sinon la nourriture est très bonne ☺?
Excellent dumpling! Nous avons essayé ceux au porc, crevette & agneau, tout était délicieux! Prix très abordables en plus.
Salade de concombres très bonne.
Tout était impeccable, excellent service je recommande fortement & vais y retourner c'est certain!!!
Amazing food! Delicious tastes, fresh & homemade. The food was prepared very quickly & tasted so good! The people working were so nice as well. Definitely a gem!
Highly recommend! The food is so, so good (we had dumplings & noodles, & the vinegar sauce was exactly as it should be), & the portions are generous. The ladies who served us were really nice & the restaurant looks great.
If I could give them 20 stars, I would. The server was so nice to us, the food was delicious. We got the pork & green onions in sweet & sour soup dumplings. Easily the best dumplings I've ever had in my life. The soup tasted unlike anything I've ever had before, it was so good, I'll never say this enough. I could only eat half the bowl, I brought the rest home with me & had it the next day. It was just as good, if not, much better. It's like meeting a celebrity & shaking their hand & not wanting to wash your hand because they touched it, I almost don't want to rinse my tongue from the richness of all of these flavours.
Expérience magique d'ascension vers le ciel. Quand je meurs, je veux servir de garniture à des dumplings exactement comme ceux-là, être mélangée aux épices & aux oignons verts, enveloppée dans la pâte mince, refermée soigneusement à la main, déposée dans un cuiseur vapeur en bambou, puis incorporée à leur soupe aigre-douce de création presque divine, je veux tourner dans l'estomac de mes ami.es comme ces dumplings ont tourné dans le mien.
We stumbled upon this place & decided to try it out. It was completely empty. The cashier was very courteous & greeted us. While we were using Google Translate to read the menu, a woman (who I assume is the owner & cook) noticed we were tourists & came out personally to translate & explain the menu to us. She said,'Everyone who comes here says that we have the best dumplings.' Spoiler alert: she was absolutely & undeniably 100% correct.
We ordered the kimchi, crushed cucumber salad, fried shrimp, & pork & coriander dumplings in broth. While the first three were amazing, the real showstopper was the dumplings. The dumplings were incredibly juicy & fresh, & the broth complemented the dumplings perfectly. We devoured the dumplings & had to convince ourselves not to order more. It was THAT good! It's quite literally the best dumplings we've ever had. We're seriously considering coming back tomorrow. Thanks so much for such a delicious meal!
