mid tier restaurant for asian food. Premade soup dumplings with little flavour at an affordable price, you pay for what you get. Bit of a long wait & service was whateve
I have wanted to try this place & finally got the chance to tonight. This place is phenomenal. It was my wife & my best meal in Montreal so far. Flavors were amazing. Loved the Szechuan peppercorn flavors. Soup dumplings were great. Such a great space & they were very accommodating for our 15 month old, thank you! This place is also insanely affordable for food you can't make yourself.

First time visiting, had a good time. The menu had limited options but food was delicious. I ordered the beef soup dumplings & the spicy pork soup dumpling 🥟! Would recommend this spot for a quick bite with some friends or solo vibes
Great food...my first time there & will definitely be returning. Soup dumplings were excellent & the Noodle soup with braised beef was exceptional. I highly recommend!!

We visited Maison Bao due to the reviews & also seeing a recommendation from insta but we were disappointed.
The restaurant was totally empty when we visited, yet when we asked to sit at a table that wasn't facing the sun (as it was a warm day) we weren't allowed.
The menu didn't provide details of what was actually in the food so we ordered the soup dumplings & beef & onion dumplings.
They tasted ok but there are dumpling places nearby which are better.
We found out too late that the beef & onion dumplings have mushroom (which I'm allergic to), but they denied & said it was woodear (a type of mushroom).
Suffice to say we will not be returning & do not recommend visiting.
Spicy pork soup dumplings 10/10
Curry sauce soup dumplings 10/10
Pan fried pan mini soup dumpling 8/10
Cold shredded chicken 4/10
Chocolate soup dumpling 4/10 - cool gimmick but wouldn't get again
Boiled dumplings 0/10 we got the chicken & corn one but I just wouldn't get any boiled again cuz it's more about how they made it
Maison Bao est une franchise du Resto Bao House de Toronto. En promenant au Centre-Ville de Montreal, j'ai decouvert ce resto (pres du metro Guy Concordia, ligne verte STM). Tout comme le menu @ Toronto, il sert toutes sortes de dumplings : bouillies, grillees, des soupes aux nouilles, des casseroles de soupes & des petits plats d'entrees. En moyenne, le prix d'un plat principal est 12$ avant les taxes. Pour un groupe de 4 personnes & plus, mieux d'appeler pour une reservation. Venez les encourager. Au plaisir, Missy A.
The space is nice & the staff were genuinely warm & welcoming, which made for a great overall atmosphere. I tried the dumplings, takoyaki, fried tofu & a soup & while they were enjoyable, they didn't stand out much compared to similar dishes I've had elsewhere. That said, it's still a pleasant spot.

Great spot for affordable, good value Chinese food. They offer dumplings, noodles, & soup casseroles. The space is spacious, clean, & gets a lot of natural light from large glass panels. We came for Sunday lunch & the service was quick & efficient - very much in the style of dining in Asia, so don't expect staff to check in unless you flag them down. You order via QR code & food comes out quickly.
We ordered the pickled cucumber, steamed beef soup dumplings, steamed pork soup dumplings, & the crispy pork & meatball soup casserole. The soup casserole was the highlight - packed with Chinese herbal flavours & lots of good ingredients. The dumplings were decent for the price ($5.99 for 6), though we've had better elsewhere & they did taste pre-made.
Première fois que j'y vais, & tellement déçue. Les dumplings sont clairement congelés & non fait à la main. La pâte était trop épaisse & honnêtement ça ne goûtait pas bon point. Ça goûtait le lave vaisselle & je n'ai pas été capable de finir ma portion. Je ne suis pas difficile sur la nourriture, c'est la première fois que je mange quelque part & que je suis vraiment déçue. Allez à Sammi Soupe à la place…
Best dumplings I've ever had in my entire life, comming from somebody who has dumplings every other day, their boiled & fried mini soup dumplings are to die fo
Great casual spot for lunch downtown. We ordered the chicken noodle soup, 6 steamed beef soup dumplings, & the braised beef soup noodles. The braised beef soup noodles were the perfect for cold winter days lately. The broth was rich & flavorful, even after I asked for less spice. The service was great as well. Not only did we receive our food very quickly, but the servers regularly checked on us & offered napkins 🥟🙌
Endroit lumineux etsuper service. Les dumplings sont variés & très bons. Coup de coeur pour les dumplings soupe.Une bonne adresse dans le quartier Guy Concordia
I was really not fond of the chicken in the noodles & chicken soup, it felt like it was reheated & from a cheap rotisserie chicken you can buy at the store.
However I think that the chicken was the only thing that was problematic, my friends took other dishes like the pork dumplings & another noodle dish which were tasty according to them.
The waiters were really nice & the location is ideal, next to the metro & Concordia university.
Also prices are good & you get good portions for what you pay for.
Bon prix & bonne bouffe! J'ai commandé les nouilles dandan; les dumplings à la soupe, sauce au curry; les takoyaki; le tofu frit épicé; & les dumplings au chocolat. Tout était excellent! Coup de coeur pour les takoyaki : une excellente portion pour le prix
