Harbin Dumplings draws praise for hand made and authentic dumplings that truly taste like Taiwan, with a variety of flavorful fillings. Patrons note that the place is often busy and lines form, but the wait is worth it and the atmosphere remains quiet and clean for enjoying the dumplings. The service is generally friendly and attentive, though one visit hinted at varying enthusiasm from staff. The menu features fried and steamed options such as chicken and coriander fried, beef and onion fried, lamb and coriander steamed, and shrimp chicken coriander steamed, with lamb often highlighted as a favorite. The dumplings are described as flavorful even without dips, and the kimchi is also praised. The restaurant is seen as a reliable, affordable, family run spot with good portions and a convenient neighborhood presence.
Excellent dumplings, steamed & fried, made fresh upon ordering. Their jasmin tea is very good too. They have a few types of alcohol, japanese, chinese beers & sake. There's often a line up from outside at peak times.
Restaurant pas très grand mais avec un grand coeur. Les employés sont très sympathique & les conseils ou recommandations sont honnêtes. Le choix de dumplings est suffisamment vaste & vous pouvez choisir votre méthode de cuisson !

Specifically when it's cold, it's really good to try good quality hot dumplings. Once I tried the crispy fried ones. It was oily. You may like it. Steamed was really good.
Ordered takeout on a Saturday night directly from their website. Easy to navigate & pay in advance. We ordered the pork & kimchi fried dumplings, curry beef & lamb & coriander. All were delicious- as expected, the kimchi fried were crunchy, but had a bit of extra liquid due to the kimchi. Messy but worth it. We also ordered the fried eggplant & shrimp noodles. Both were great, but really happy with the noodles. Hearty helping of vegetables & shrimp, not just a container of noodles. Will definitely go back!
If you don't want to share a table with strangers I don't recommend dining in. Food is great but the service is really slow. If you're open minded & not in a rush it's a good option food quality is always at the rendez-vous.

Les dumplings ici sont tout simplement dé-li-cieux! C'est mon endroit de prédilection quand j'ai envie d'un bon repas réconfortant! Essayez ceux à la purée de pommes de terre & les boeuf & cari, je demande les demande toujours rotis. Ils sont soyeux & croustillants à la fois, un pur délice! L'ambiance est correcte, mais ça fait le charme. On y va surtout pour la qualité des plats!
5/5 star food, we tried their chicken & beef dumplings. They are super juicy & delicious. One the best is their beef dumplings!!! The beef dumpling reminded me of the dumplings my family made while my grandmother was alive & it’s super juicy!! The same flavour & the same juiciness. I had the movie ratatouille moment when the critic eats the dish! Seriously just go here!!
I can't believe I forgot to review this place! I've been here so many times! Either for takeout or dine in. It's my favourite neighbourhood dumpling place. There's just something about it that keeps my family & I coming back whenever we wanna celebrate an event & order some food. We get an assortment & share & they are always well made & delicious. Quick & friendly service as well as a wide menu! They also always pack the soup really well so it doesn't spill!
I recommend if you are in the area!

Went for dinner here about 2 weeks ago with 2 friends. Was my first time going to eat dumplings, we had fried eggplant, steamed pork & coriander dumplings, steamed chicken & coriander dumplings, fried squid & pork dumplings & vegetable noodles, everything was delicious. Already looking forward to going back! Only thing I don't like is when they sit strangers at the same table, hard to have private conversations that way...
Une sacré découverte ce restaurant depuis quelques temps ! On essaye d'y manger au moins une fois par mois pour avoir notre dose de dumplings-supers-bons !
