Best dumplings in Montreal! I have tried maybe 5 other famous dumpling places & this one is the best. The chicken curry option is my favorite. I have eaten inside, takeaway as well as delivery. All are good. Always choose the fried option & get the large size. Plus a ginger ale & I am satisfied. The staff is also very kind & friendly.

The dumplings here are so good & such reasonable prices, especially for downtown Montreal. Their weekday lunch specials are a great deal. I had the Pork Mongolian Shaomai Combo & upgraded my drink to a hot & sour soup. It came with 10 dumplings, 2 imperial rolls & the soup. My husband had the Chicken & Mushroom dumplings combo & upgraded it from steamed to pan-fried. His combo came with either 2 imperial rolls, cucumber salad or seaweed salad & he chose cucumber salad. Everything was delicious. The Shaomai are like soup dumplings. So big, juicy & filled with soup. The pan-fried dumplings were crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. The hot & sour soup was filled to the brim, steaming hot & so delicious. The cucumber salad was refreshing & didn't have cilantro like at other restaurants. The imperial rolls were crispy. Dumplings are made fresh to order. Definitely recommend!

Small restaurant, they have a good variety of dumplings in the menu from steamed to fried, I tried the lamb with green onions & the beef with coriander, they were both good & an appetizer. The service I rated it like that because of the warmth of the cashier/server, overall it is a decent place to try.

Wonderful place for handmade steamed & pan fried dumplings. My friend & I ate here twice while visiting Montreal recently. The staff works hard here. They do an extraordinary job. Nice atmosphere, decent prices, great dumplings & soup. Merci Beaucoup!

Disappointing. Avoid the okonomiyaki (undercooked). The fried chicken was ok but the sauce was more a watered down ketchup than the usual spicy mayo.

Fried dumplings are tasty. Wantan is alright. Fermented cucumbers are good. Friendly service. We prefer to sit atbthe outdoor section. Nicer here. Good for chichating with friends while having comfortable Asian dishes.

The food was decent. There is an additional charge for fried dumplings that is not really easy to find in the menu.When we went it was a really warm day & there is not one cooling element in there. Finally that might be only me but the water glasses had a fishy flavor. During winter it might be bette

The guy that works there is a very hard worker & yet has great customer service skills. The streamed & fried dumplings were so good that we had to order more. We're from Toronto & will be back!
