Le Petit Coin Dumpling is widely praised as a small, cozy, family-friendly spot offering fresh, handmade dumplings in a menu that many reviewers describe as varied and reliable. Diners highlight standout items such as General Tao chicken, beef dumplings, pork and coriander dumplings, peanut dumplings, shrimp wontons, and crispy spring rolls, with several noting that the dumplings arrive hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, fast, and attentive, with some compliments about the owner and a warm in-store atmosphere, while takeout and online ordering are also praised for consistency. A few criticisms appear: one version of Xiao long bao was unexpectedly sweet unless cilantro is added, and General Tao sauce is sometimes considered overly sweet or a bit clumsy when dining in or taking out. Some observers mention the space being small and lively, which can be noisy when crowded, but this does not dampen the overall positive impression of quality, value, and the variety of dumpling options that attract regulars and first-time visitors alike.
We ordered four dishes: Xiao long bao (pork soup dumplings), prawn wonton soup, General Tao chicken, & hot & sour soup. The prawn wonton soup, General Tao & hot & sour soup were all enjoyable & well prepared.
However, the Xiao long bao (pork soup dumplings) stood out as an issue. It was noticeably sweet rather than savoury. When we raised this with the owner, we were told this was normal unless ordering the pork with cilantro option.
This was surprising to us, as xiao long bao is traditionally a Shanghainese dish & is characteristically savoury, not sweet. This was our first experience encountering a sweet version.
This is a go to spot for me in Montreal. Let me save you the trouble.
The cold noodles are hit & miss. The General Tao chicken is super solid. The sauce isn't fully mixed in especially when you order take out which I appreciate that attention to detail.
The chicken dumplings & pork are not my favourite but the beef dumplings are phenomenal. I love them with soya sauce & chili oil.
Spring rolls are always crispy.
My go to is the beef & coriander dumplings & the general tao chicken.

Petit Coin Dumpling was fantastic. We tried a variety of dishes, but the pork soup dumplings with coriander stole the show - juicy, fragrant, & perfectly wrapped with that pop of fresh herb that made them unforgettable.
The restaurant is cozy & unpretentious, but the food speaks for itself. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back & try the entire menu.
Highly recommend for any dumpling lover visiting Montreal!
Absolutely delicious dumplings. Our meal in order of my preference was lamb with cumin, beef & onion (visible pieces of onion, yum!) & chicken curry. We got the last one fried. Outstanding flavour. Staff were kind & attentive. Very respectful of my coriander allergy. Restaurant is small. We ate early (5:15pm on a Sunday) & we were okay to find a table. Sauces available at the table were soya, vinegar & a red hot sauce. No chili oil, & I didn't ask, & honestly, I didn't miss it. The dumplings were really good just plain or dipped in the soya sauce. 4 people eating. My table also ordered shrimp & pork & the sweet pork. My husband said the shrimp with pork were okay, just not exciting. He did enjoy the sweet pork. Step son also had added the peanut sauce on the side. Bill without tip was 102$ for 4 people. Highly recommended for delicious dumplings & for ordering a bunch of different kinds to share.
Went here to celebrate my birthday & I had a really great experience. The food was really good especially the curry chicken dumpling as well as the pork+ shrimp & chive dumpling. But my favorite was the fried wonton dumpling!! 🥳
This place is a hidden gem for dumplings. We stumbled upon this place accidentally & are so happy we found it. The seaweed salad is out of this world. You have to order it. We got the chicken & mushroom dumplings with half beef & onion dumplings. & we also got the juicy sweet pork soup dumplings. Everything was 10/10. The staff also gave us Halloween candy as a complimentary dessert! We will be recommending this place to everyone.

Delicious food, casual atmosphere. We were visiting the Biodome & the kids were craving Asian food. We found this place a short drive away. We had soup dumplings, edamame, pork & coriander fried dumplings. Yum! Our craving was satisfied. Highly recommend!
My friend got shrimp & pork dumplings. I got beef & coriander dumplings, we also got these fried chicken ball things. Everything came out hot & was good. My dumplings had nice texture & great flavor. I probably wouldn’t get chicken balls again but they were decent.
Our server was super friendly & the restaurants is bright & airy & has nice big windows that were open when we ate there.
